Does anyone have experience with the Western Mountaineering Meltdown Jacket? I have a brand new Mountain Hardwear Sub Zero Parka but I've been looking at the Meltdown as well and trying to decide between the two...

Has anyone replaced the spike on their axe? I have a Grivel Air Tech Racing that I love, except for the aluminum spike. It looks like I could drill out a rivet, remove and replace the spike, and re-rivet it.
