Re: [Paddlewise] Fashion Sense

I'm living in my Kokatat Tropos bibs and Co-op Goretex jacket 24/7. The bibs
are the best $275 I've EVER spent. The jacket... I have a feeling it ain't
gonna last... guess which one is made in China?
 
Fashion? Bleh! Practicality? WooHoo!

I use heavy North Face for the mountains and light North Face for fast hill
walking - love it. Nice in the city too. I find the gear superior. There is
better - but more money. There is adequate and not so good, for less.
Fashion consequences? Unintended? Do know. Don't care. For kayaking and
cycling, I use other brands that are sport specific. Of course, shopping in
Wal-Mart is pretty sporting these days, given the cost of household goods as
we try to save dollars. Goodwill? Not so much for me. Regardless, I prefer
North Face (or even co-op gear)clad geeks roaming the malls over Gangsta
clad, older teens with an attitude...
