Thanks! Keep the ideas coming. What I wear on the planes doesn't count, but I do need to be able to manage all that I take along without help.
A lot of my gear is old and has seen a great deal of use. Shabby is a word that comes to mind. Out-of-date also. Old technology! My Sorrel boots weigh a ton and the liners are very old and worn. My best all weather coat (a 3 layer) is also shabby and very heavy. Ugly, shabby and heavy. A real winner!
No outlet stores anywhere near to me that have winter gear. I'm not worried about prices at this point.
