Over the years I've bought many things from Backcountry.com, including my favorite tent, a backpack, a few pairs of sunglasses, an adventure watch, and many, many pairs of shoes.

A good amount of the gear I carried on my solo thru-hike of the John Muir Trail was bought from them, and now, for this adventure, they've graciously helped us out with a few essentials to keep us warm, happy, and dry.

So if you're looking for great gear sold by great people who actually use the gear they sell, Backcountry.com is a great choice.
