Salutations,
I have a handful of items that I'm looking to offload. Some of these are NWT, others are slightly used but in good condition.
1. Schnee kestrels in size 12 regular, got these in a trade and they don't quite fit my feet. I have worn them for about 5 hours and maybe 2 miles...
I use a myriad of different hunting clothing. As it has been mentioned above, look for deals on here. There are killer ones to be had quite often. My name brand stuff is all used, other items are what I have been issued over the years.. here's a quick run down of the clothing items I utilize...
I utilize the sitka suspenders. Have only had them strapped up for two seasons but they have been a very nice change from having a belt digging into my sides while under a load. The thin elastic fabric of the suspenders don't dig into your shoulders under the pack straps. The brown ball...

Gaiters cannot do what rubbers do, as it's been said above. It's going to keep the below your knee part of your pants dry and free from debris entering your pants/boots. It will keep majority of water from entering your boots if your cross a creek. You get the ankle support from actual boots...
Full disclosure, I have only ever used initial ascent for a pack and do not have any personal experience with other brands, aside from conversations with other folks... I have used the IA4K for two seasons now, ranging from day hunts to 10 days out in the woods. Itr handled a front moose...
Darn tough for me, I have the T4021 (midweight, boot height) that I wear daily for work, around town, hunting ( day trips and the extra pair while out in the sticks), fishing, ECT... I wear the same pair for a week and wash on the weekend. just to test the longevity of them. And they've held up...
