Bosterson Posted July 14, 2009 Posted July 14, 2009 Internet sales are failing me, so I'm looking for some gear for trips this summer. Hoping to buy used and cheap! (Battered is definitely ok as long as it still works.) Softshell pants - men's medium (and reg length) - something simple and lightweight that would be good for Mt. Adams and other easy peaks, like the Patagonia Simple Guide pant or Mountain Hardwear Navigation pants (no internal gaiters or full side zips or any of that stuff needed) Rain jacket - men's medium - simple and as light as possible - just something to throw in the pack just in case Boots - men's 10-10.5, medium volume - something for the aforementioned Mt. Adams snow slog (I never, ever hike in anything over the ankle, so I have nothing to use) - I'd prefer something on the lighter end (synthetic, waterproof lined, etc.) just because any boot is going to feel super heavy to me, but I'd be happy to take someone's beaters if that makes them cheap, as I'm not sure how often I'd wear them That might be it for now, unless people have unused wool baselayers lying around...

t_rutl Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 www.backcountryoutlet.com pretty good sale right now us coupon code 4E2-1-QMDMQ that will max the discount to 50% off retail prices...might help you peice together somethings...their selection is pretty good other than that craigslist and ebay for used gear Quote
Bosterson Posted July 16, 2009 Author Posted July 16, 2009 I've been searching REI Outlet, Sierra Trading Post, etc. and have been watching CL and Ebay, but so far haven't found what I'm looking for. I'll check out that coupon though - BC outlet generally doesn't have anything in men's medium, but maybe I'll get lucky. Thanks for the tip. Quote
clubfoot Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 I have a pair of Mammut and BD soft shell I am looking to off load both mens medium and in excellent condition. Not full zip, they are lighter weight. Quote
Bosterson Posted July 18, 2009 Author Posted July 18, 2009 Update: I think I'm going to have to do boots locally, and the pants have been taken care of. Still looking for a lightweight used rainshell (eg, Patagonia Rain Shadow, Mont Bell Versatile Jacket, etc.). I could also use a pair of gaiters if anyone has one they don't need. Just something for walking on glaciers, not for technical climbing. Thanks! Quote
