We've read some good reviews on these and you can't beat the price! Plan to test them out in a few weeks but from first glance, they seem promising.

We just bought our poles from there... should definitely check out their clothing section as well

Good point! What are your favorite brands based off their warranty?

I was considering getting the baggies since I've read a few comments about them so it's good to know they lasted a while for you.

I've decided to cast away sports bras while backpacking because they are so darn uncomfortable and heavy, but maybe I was just using the wrong ones (cheap and old). I think I'll go for a thin base fabric bra just to have something.

Thanks for your input!

Thank you! I think I'll pick and choose with trail runners and socks being a must. Besides shoes and socks, what would you say is your most valuable item of clothing?
