Really depends on where and when you're going on an "expedition".
Base, mid, wind/wet and insulating layers. The types and thickness depending on where and when.

Agree with Brian. I use a lot of REI brand gear, and North face myself. I am really happy with the performance of my REI Down jacket and NF shell. If i could I would probably go Mountain Hardware everything as the few pieces I have from them perform wonderfully.

Ive been looking at lots of different gear, spent a lot of time at REI... I have some Arc'teryx gear that I really like, but that stuff is just so expensive. Anyone know of some gear that would be similar quality to Arc'teryx but a bit cheaper???

I'm a marmot, Patagonia, and Arc'teryx guy. My rule is never to pay retail for any of it.

I love my ArcTeryx stuff. Just get a friend or family member who works for backcountry.com because they have incredible pro-deals via 3point5. My brother worked there for 2 years and the pro deals saved me thousands off retail. A nice cardigan jacket retailed for $320 was selling it at $39.99 on the pro-deal (70% usually via the website).
But yea, retail...too expensive.●Canyoneering 'Canyon Conditions' @ www.candition.com

I'm looking for a new down in the 800 fill range and a good soft shell. What would everyone recommend?
