Up here, the Wally World stuff doesn't cut it (won't shop there anyway <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/butwiggle.gif" alt="" />).

REI, LLBean, Filson's, and North Face have all been good for me. We have a couple local gals who make some REALLY nice jackets for interim conditions that I don't mind supporting either. Military surplus is also locally popular AND reasonable.

We also have a specialty store for alpine climbing, given we're only about 150 miles from Denali and the Alaska Range.

Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for dinner. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote.
