Thread: The gear wars

My problem is i don't get out enough to wear my gear out. See lots of fancy new stuff I would love to buy but hard to justify the cost.
Partly because I'm so far north any cold weather gear only gets packed on a trip once or twice a year. even they it may not get taken out of the bag.
Saw some real nice close fitting wind proof (shower resistant) insulating outer wear from First Light last year. Was good pushing through matagoury and Tee Tree, Southerly wind and misty crap. etc
Though I would splash out on one but was talked out of it by the Agent and into a cheaper lighter weight version as I would not make enough use of the insulating property's. (good call by the rep)
