| Winter Clothing and Cost
I have been walking the local hills this winter trying to get in better shape. Since I am in the rediscovery of hiking, I am using my older but well cared-for clothing: tightly woven wool pants, wool shirts and sweaters, wool mitt liners/mitts, wool hat, and an old but serviceable 60/40 parka.
When I look over the various boards, I read discussions of all this modern, high tech clothing - which I am sure is superb- that sells for some high (for me) prices. Hey, I am still paying off college loans for my kids!
Softshell jackets for 270 and pants for 190!! Any thrifty Yankees out there? Old-Timers (cripes...I am an old timer.) who are still old school? Any ideas?
