Can I piggyback this post and ask for hiking boot recommendations?
Might be I could find something there, which wouldn't cost a fortune so I can just use them once.Haglöfs is often on sale at the local outdoor shops.
Well, we have have an equivalent of that here, but I was more looking for something that'd function both for climbing a mountain and daily wear afterwards, as I usually never go trekking.just go to your local REI/MEC and they will take care of you
Don't skimp on decent gear. Even if you use it sparingly, it's not going to go to waste. Stuff for backpacking is functional - as in - if you just get whatever is on sale, there is a decent chance you could be miserable the entire time. Fashion, on the other hand - yeah, a shirt for Walmart is going to looking worse than... most things, but it will serve exactly the same as the most expensive shirt on the market.Well, we have have an equivalent of that here, but I was more looking for something that'd function both for climbing a mountain and daily wear afterwards, as I usually never go trekking.

If you mean for actual hiking, Limmer is pretty good

For fashion purposes, Viberg is reintroducing their Apsley design (originally done with Nigel Cabourn) later this year. I think it looks pretty great.

Any suggestions for hiking pants/midlayers? I'm going to climb Kilimanjaro this summer and I don't want to waste money on some pants that I'll only use once, so any suggestions for something that can also be worn casually afterwards would be great. I did shortly consider stuff like Arc'teryx Veilance, but too expensive for me
I like Prana products. If want some softshell that is pretty reasonably priced, I wear Marmot Scree pants and also some Northface "Mountain Tech" pants, that look pretty decent and are also pretty functional, with zipped hems, zippered pockets (to me, this is essential). If you want durable construction, Northface is not famous for no reason. Things like tripled stitched seams and gusseted crotches make the pants much less likely to split at the seams or wear out at high stress areas. There are also features that I've always found completely useless, like articulated knees.Not sure if you can get them there, but I swear by Prana Zion Stretch pants for hiking. They are incredibly comfortable and I've worn them everywhere from the desert to the snowy peaks of mountains as a mid layer. They're nice, casual summer pants and great for yoga.
Those guys actually did well. I wonder what happens to the guys who really make a hash of it (and it happens).Re: our recent conversation about why people go on Shark Tank, and the effect of mass exposure :
