TIP: The online
Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

OK so it might seem like I have a Costco obsession, but I actually work nearby and as we supply them a few products I am in there fairly often.
My latest find is these gloves which are very similar to Powerstretch for only $16. Thanks Google for the pics.
Reviews are favourable on Amazon too.

LOL Strider! You are turning into a Costco tragic, like me.
I bought those gloves a year or two ago and they are excellent in the cold for both exercises as well as general use. Have used them both here as well as there in Nth America. The only thing they are not adequate for is for grabbing rough objects as the material isn't made for that purpose. A few weeks ago I bought pairs for the rest of the family.

And, also, as well, they look just like the OR liner gloves I paid $22;50 for last year

Do they do an XS?
Sat 16 May, 2015 6:29 pm
Yes they do NNW. The sizing is quite small too.

Can confirm the sizing too. They are for tightish fitting. IIRC, they come in men's and women's. XS in women is quite small.

You're obsession with Costco brought their fleeces to my attention, Strider.
Obsess away!!!

Oh well, sounds like I'd need to try them on to be sure of a fit, so no point worrying about them.
Most annoying thing about Tassie. No Costco, no Aldi . . .

Worth buying for the Tadpoles you think?
Looking for kids waterproofs size 6 and 10
Fri 18 Mar, 2016 1:12 pm
They have a range of kids gloves and mitten too MD. No waterproofs that I saw.
Fri 18 Mar, 2016 1:15 pm
Yep, saw them this week too. I'm still waiting for the synthetic/merino mix thermo.

I recall the brand is Canadian. I need to double check.
