Yea, well I dress like a dork and am proud of it!Ah yes, a worthy comment, for conformity is virtue in Biden's new America!
I totally bought one of these at Goodwill for $7. great sweater loved it. Turns out there is some merino wool you can wash and dry (first lite) and some you can't, this one fit in the latter category. It shrank so much my 5 year old couldn't fit in it!I have said it before. ebay and "merino wool sweater" is my friend. I have two olive green ones that together cost 20 bucks. Both Italian made and super warm. Awesome layering piece.
Yeah they pass and say "morning Dick!"I tried these for my training hikes, but it ended up being too distracting for the women of Montana.
That is a great point! One step further, I am not sure being proud of cheap gear is morally superior to simply wearing expensive gear.There are some values to be had out there, no doubt. I'm not sure being proud of cheap gear is morally superior to being proud of expensive gear though. Nothing wrong with liking what works and saying so either way.
I am right there with you, MR pack, leupold harness, under armour valsetz warm weather boots, la sportiva trango for colder weather, under armour base layers, browning and truetimber outer layers mostly. Whatever I can find for a decent price and fits right. I would take some sitka, first lite, kuiu gear if the price was right though. Just not going to pay those prices!!I have a MR pack and bino harnes, Under armour orange hat and vest. I also use under armour boots. Bozeman Speedfreaks 400g and Browtine 800g. Both fit great and I know that I don't have to work about my feet. Wrangler pants scent blocker lightweight coat and merino wool 1/4 zip tops. I don't stick to one brand of camo or gear. I use what works for me and is practical. Not always the most expensive, but it does what I need it to do.

I respect your opinionThere's some marketing fluff, no doubt, but I don't think it's accurate to say cheap clothes are just as good. I've used cheap clothes, and I'm not going back. I do buy as much on sale as possible.
We need manufacturers to be more specific in what fabrics and weights they use in their advertising. I'm much more concerned with that than brand names.
