Where
to buy gear?
There are many manufactures and distributors and sometime it is hard to decide what gear to buy and where to purchase it. The follow are a few web pages of wear to buy gear online. The main thing that I found with purchasing gear online is shop around. Hopefully these sites will help you do that.
I found this to be a great place to purchase items because of the low cost and shipping only costing $1. Also they have a lightweight zone that has a lot of good products.
