winter gear
hard shell jacket and pants (windstopper), down jacket, fleece shirt and pants, base layer (wool or polyester, no cotton), hat, gloves, hiking boots, trekking poles, crampons, ice axe, gaiters, etc, the list can be very long, but the above is basic.
You can go to Atmosphere and MEC in Canada, but the price is not very attractive. There are a bunch of outdoor stores in NY state and Vermont where the price is much lower than in Canada. We normally go to the town of Lake Placid (NY) and Burlington (Vermont) as they are not far from Montreal. I like Gear X in Vermont, a lot of deals there. There are also EMS, North Face and Climb High you can go check them out. |
