    Whats the BEST item of clothing you have ever bought & WHY?

    In response to the other thread. For me it has to be the Harkila Pro Hunter, just an amazing bit of kit! Also the Alt-berg boots I've owned, when properly looked after, are incredible.

    Whats the WORST item of clothing you have ever bought & WHY?

    Buffalo Teclite and Paramo Velez Adventure Light! Not for me at all! Teclite is just uncomfortable and the hood is appalling, Paramo is not at all water proof and leaks terribly at the seams!
