[at-l] Clothing

[thornel at attglobal.net (W F Thorneloe)]

Matt seeks information on  hiking clothes, which covers a lot of sins and 
territory. ;-)

You might wish to focus the question a bit. For instance, you have interest 
in hiking skivies as you mentioned under armor. Lots of interesting 
choices, including those who prefer to go commando. There are huge price 
ranges from Salvation Army, Tuesday Morning, Big Lots, Campmor, REI and 
Patagonia. You can get lots of opinions about the relative value - not just 
the expense of clothes. For instance, once upon a time The North Face (TNF) 
was bullet proof, expensive and a good value. Now it seems to have become 
primarily a yuppie Flatlander brand, in my opinion.

Why not split this up into classes of clothing - gloves, skivies, pants, 
shorts, socks, shirts, hats and such?

BTW, another good resource for critiques of gear is the YahooGroups 
BackpackingGearTest.
