By Guy Lautard Contributing Writer EDDIE Bauer, Park Royal North, has recently introduced an interesting eight-piece outdoor clothing system under the name EBTEK (pronounced “cee-bee- teck”), Each piece can be bought by itself. All eight can de com- bined in about 150 ways, to suit your needs of the moment. The system starts with a lightweight ripstop _nylon/ Gore-Tex waterproof’ parka, jacket and pants. There are several inter- changeable zip-in liners — vest, jacket, or parka style, that can also be worn alone. They can be had in a selection of down filled, poly-filled, or soft fuzzy Polartee fleece. The pants don't: have ¢ip-in- liners, but should suit skiers ta. a “T.” Every piece of the ERTEE system has numerous thoughr- hilly designed features. For example, ar the lapel tps there are little pockets for the zipper tabs, so if you're wearing a finer, the zipper tabs don’t irritate your cheeks. There are lots of secure pockets inside and our, underarm zip- pers fcovered with velcro secured flaps) to provide extra ventilation, and reverse pocket flaps to keep out rain and snow. There are draw-strings on the jacket and liners, ditto for the parka and liners. And every piece — anything from blue to bnght orange or yellow — can be laundered ar home and tumbled dry. Prices? Well, the parka is a couple of hundred bucks less than some of the competition. And if you ever have a com- plaint about an Eddie Bauer product, take it back. Period.
