+1.. This is a Vancouver forum.. Iceman, Good for you if you can go out in shorts and a t-shirt.

Just posted in a similar thread in off-topic, but I'll reiterate.

I'll start by saying I'm not for or against the $700+ jackets. If people wanna spend that much on a jacket, good for them.

People in Vancouver buy the big expensive jackets for a balance between practicality and fashion. They just wear a t-shirt or dress shirt underneath and they're good to go.

If you're going out to dinner or something you don't wanna be wearing 4-5 layers in the restaurant.

You can't really compare the urban Vancouver to say, Fort Mac in Alberta.

Say what you will, but being in the city, people wanna find a balance between practicality and fashion.
Whereas in a place like northern Alberta, you could walk around in snowboard gear and not even get a second look.
