I spent some time in Montreal a while back, which was my first real exposure to honest-to-God negative temperatures. The kind of cold that makes you question your life choices. I was convinced my lone cold-weather jacket wasn’t going to cut it and that I’d end up shivering in some alley, regretting everything.
Turns out I was wrong.
I wore my Iron Heart N1 Deck jacket, and while my feet were busy turning into useless blocks of ice, my core stayed warm as hell. Even with the wind ripping through the streets like it had a personal vendetta.
I bring this up now because late winter is prime time for deals, especially on pre-owned N1s. And you absolutely want to buy these used, because new ones hover right around a thousand dollars, which is enough to make any sane person hesitate.
But hear me out. These jackets are built like brick shithouses and they are warm in a way that feels almost irresponsible.
