Re: outdoor clothing

Two bits of kit that top my list include a superb pair of Scarpa SL boots and a Helly Hansen thermal vest. I've 'survived' on several occasions in the past because of the vest's ability to shed water and insulated fast, even after frequently being immersed in freezing water.

I've also had some great thick walking socks in the past, but they're all now 10+ years old and need replacing so I'd been keen to hear any recommendations.
