General gripe

Don't piss down my back and tell me it's raining.
As far as pants go...Ben Davis for the win.
I've been backpacking, camping, climbing, and working in them for decades.

North Face is now part of Vanity Fair. Mountain Hardware is now owned by Columbia. You're only going to keep seeing a sea of clothing at major outdoor retailers because, like others have said, it's where the PROFIT comes from. Socks are the most profitable thing at the place I work! Not sexy, but they keep the lights on so I can sell bigger ticket items(packs, bikes, tents) which have MUCH smaller margins( and take a lot more of my time).
