I like gear, but I am not obsessive, and I buy everything out of season to save money.  Here is a list of the gear that  use for my outdoor life:

Hiking:

• Black Diamond Trekking Poles
• Columbia Silver Ridge Cargo Pants
• Mountain Hardwear Fluid 26 Backpack
• Outdoor Research Rain Shell (can't remember name).

Running:

• Salomon Spikecross
• Moto 360 Sport
• Salomon X-Tour
• MEC Instinct Tights
• Sugoi Versa Jacket
