The Gear I’ll Never Use Again

Silky saws....the Bahco laplander replaced them and performed better.
Wrangler ATG pants everyone raves about. I've destroyed them so fast and stitching was terrible.
Alpaca socks....a marketing scam. Don't last.
Sawyer mini is a piece of crap.
Yeti products are a scam.
Yeah, the ATG pants are don't last and cant take any type of use. I wore them out hiking on pretty flat roads and general walking.
 
Super Sabre arrow vanes. I love the concept but these are the worst vanes at sticking and consistency is horrible. I’ve given both editions a shot and never again.
 
Whats the best alternative? I liked my attack pants but dammit they are delicate.
I bought a pair of bassdash camo pants for less than half the price. They seem like they will hold up better and certainly will in terms of $/use. The only thing I wish they had was the side zip.
 
Any pant besides Kuiu attacks for 40 degrees and colder.
My first pair is still almost perfect and I believe I got em in 2017 and I have used the piss out of them. Finally got a second pair just to have clean ones on trips in gumbo country and they fit just as well.
Puffy coats with less than LOTS (5-7 oz?) of down. The Sitka WS Kelvin is incredible. Other lightweights just don't cut it.
Normal merino base layer shirts, they stay wet wayyyy too long after climbing for hours. The fishnet top is incredibly warm and dries almost instantly. Especially with the OV hoodie over it.
