No socks or pants at Value village - not for kayakers, anyway.  Try
second-hand sport-oriented places.  Here in Vancouver it's called Sport
Junkies - though they've been shifting lately from used good stuff (on
consignment) to new no-name chinese eer... items; price tag without the
depreciation schedule is the warning sign to look.  Whenever I see such a
tag, I drop it and go to neighboring www.mec.ca  in the same block (poor
canadian's analog of Campmor or REI).

Fleece tops at Value Village are usually not kayaker-oriented too - with
zippers, pockets, some buttons, etc.  But I've bought some fleece tops for
$2 and $3 there for home and shore wear.  Wetsuits in Value Village are good
too - few bucks for a suit.  Mostly for divers, never in the right size, but
good for scrap pieces when you need a patch etc.
