One of the things I like to do is "stalk" gear before I buy it to get the best price. It's a game I'd like to think I've become good at but its also pretty much out of necessity. Deals on outerwear on my favorite. I choke on the huge prices of these items. Of the above, my favorite deal was $47 for a $169 Mountain Hardware fleece jacket. I stalk less than I used to because I have a fair amount of gear that will most likely last me for years to come, probably even a lifetime. But I am partial to certain stores and brands and have gotten to know their markdown cycles return policies. Today my $120 gloves arrived for $49. It pays to be size Unisex XS I guess.
Layering my outwear-In order: Peak XV parka from First Ascent, REI 3 in 1, North Face Apex Bionic shell, Mountain Hardware Thermostatic, First Ascent WindFoil Elite, REI Rain, North Face Khumbu, North Face Denali, Patagonia R1, North Face TKA, Mountain Hardware MicroChill (in 3 colors, I could live the rest of my life in this thing), and the newest addition: Mountain Hardware Hooded Pyxis. Im not taking all of these but probably half of them. Thank goodness for stuff sacks.
