I live in Colorado and CO sh!ts on California in nearly every way imaginable. Colorado >>> California.

Hey be nicer to Nike. At least they are trying. At least they are putting in a good effort to put out quality products at really good prices.
Be stronger than your anger and hatred for Nike.

And yeah, definitely not worth $175.
I wear 3 layers, i.e. short running shirt, long running shirt and jacket until 65F in spring. The sea has been frozen in winter time and after that the wind is just so cold until June. Honestly it doesn't matter if it was warmer in some places because wearing too much clothes helps to get the body ready for summer months when it's hot anyway.
I bought a Craft running jacket yesterday for 30 euros. Normal price was 150 euros. That is my approach to running jackets. I don't care about list prices at all. I only buy them when they are cheap and wear them for 20 years.

That doesn't mean Colorado is better, that just means you're jealous. I bet Californians don't sh!t on Colorado all day because they don't care about you.

You suckers that don’t live in CA must be miserable. You guys suck . Hahaha. Will be 80 degrees here this weekend.
Enjoy your snow, fukkfaces. Haha.
That's not very nice of you to call people names just because they live in colder conditions.
And then you laughed at it. Not very respectful at all. Try to have more English etiquette than this.
Control your hatred and anger.
Control your sarcasm.
Be stronger than the anger.
Be stronger than the sarcasm because some people might take it the wrong way.
Agreed - seems a bit much.
I was at my local Nike Outlet last weekend and was just looking at the 50% discount rail. They had some running jackets on there (really thin black material, I presume waterproof) but the SRP on the label was like 250e !? I do like Nike gear, but thought that was excessive for a thin runners jacket.

That's not a very nice thing to say to Nike.
Be nicer to Nike.
If they want to go to another country and get workers to work for cheap then that's within their right.
And also it's a very smart thing to do.
Why should they pay someone 20 dollars an hour in America when it's perfectly legal to go find someone to do it for 1 dollar an hour?
Be stronger than your hatred for Nike.

Nike is too big to fail.
No judge in America would ever think about going against Nike.
Therefore be stronger than your anger of Nike.

You have to look at it like this.
Nike provided people in those countries a job. Bottomline. Without Nike then who knows what they would have been doing.
You should be thankful that Nike did this for those people in those countries...

The video is misleading.
It states that the people were all on top of each other living.
But they showed a bath tub.
At least Nike was nice enough to provide that for them. They could have had no bath tub at all.
I think Nike was very nice to the people in the video.
Without Nike who knows what they could have been doing.
They could have been drinking 23 beers in a 6.5 hour time period for all we know.
Nike isn't to blame here.
That is one ugly jacket.

I have noticed in the last few years it has become en vogue to overdress for training. More so in cycling but increasingly so in running too. What previously would have been long sleeve tshirt weather has become tights, hat, gloves, base layer, fancy jacket weather. Probably some 'winter' shoes too. About $500 worth of gear just to go for a small jog in 50 degree weather. Not sure of the logic of it. Are people gone soft? Are they mimicking the pros? Are they just showing off their fancy clothes?

That's very rude of you to say that about Nike.
At all times you should be thinking positive and encouraging thoughts.
IT's not ugly.
That looks useful for running in that temperature range if it's raining.
Or to wear over something else on a colder rainy day.
And it looks for being out and about, not running.
I wouldn't pay that much for it.
But if people buy it, then the price is right.
The well-off hobby jogger market is way bigger than the blue collar serious runner market.
The temperature ranges on RW are completely ridiculous.
They say shorts are only good for 65+.
They say you need long sleeves when it's in the fifties.
Even the heaviest winter tights are only rated down just below freezing.
Take it from a person who lives in a place where it gets seriously cold. Don't pay attention to this crap. A jacket that RW rates for 50-65 degrees is probably a good jacket for temps in the 20s.

Too broad of a statement. Would you like to pinpoint the things or exact people that are better than CA?
Very rude and disrespectful of you to say that about CA.
Be nicer to CA.

A lot of it has to do with humidity too.
30 degrees and sunny in Colorado is warm compared to 50 degrees, cloudy and windy in San Francisco

That's not how tariffs work, dude. You only pay the tariff on the value of the goods important from China, not the ridiculous markup. The impact is probably on the order of $1.
Tariffs are paid by domestic companies, which pass the cost to consumers in the form of higher prices. Here's how much more shoes would cost if with a 25% tariff, according to estimates from the Footwear Distributors and Retailers of America:
"Performance" running shoe: from $150 to $206.25
Basketball sneaker: $130 to $178.74
"Skate" canvas sneaker: $49.99 to $65.57
Hunting boot: $190 to $248.56
Workboot: $140 to $165.45
Firefighter boot: $350 to $430.65
Seems like more than a dollar?!?
They don't tax based off the price you see in the store. That jacket probably cost how much to make? $20? At the most. The increase is 25% from what it cost the company in China to make and ship the product. So in this case, $5.
Sure, it's passed onto the consumer, but so are tax raises. But the deranged liberals don't like to hear that. Or any of this, for that matter.

The temperature rangers from RW must not account for any vigorous activity include running. They must be based on someone standing still or at most walking slowly. If I were to ever run at a 9:30 pace during cold weather I would wear a heavier base layer than for my normal run at 7 to 7:45 pace. I think someone's pace and body fat percentage would need to factor into the temperature range they find acceptable for any clothing.
I just looked at some heavier cloth tops and jackets at my local UA and Nike Outlet stores and decided all would be too warm for me for most of my running that normally is from 15 to 30 degrees F. I wear a polyester shell jacket (no lining) and UA cold gear long sleeve top when below 30 degrees. Much below 15 I may add a very thin low percentage merino wool blend long sleeve top.
