I have two boys (5 & 2 years) who need warm clothes for a ski trip. Where is the best place to buy?

whatever you do, do not buy their clothes at or near the ski resort.  it's all overpriced.

Try a luggage store like the ones you often see in malls.  They often sell a variety of backpacks.  Also, any store that sells outdoor gear usually sells good backpacks.  Here are a couple of sites.  Good luck with it.

Remember, rental shops usually buy the most basic and inexpensive equipment and then rent them out a lot. Those two year old skis have probably seen more than ten years worth of skiing in that time.  As the previous poster said, there are tons of good deals on Ebay. Also, check out your local ski shops, if they have any equipment left over from last year you can usually find very good prices on brand new gear.

Damn-this is a tough question because they are both so crappy but I would go with Walmart...I call them disposable clothing-because they don't last much longer than a tissue. BTW Old Navy is overpriced-their clothing is thin and unless you don't wash them often (eeeewww) the same holds true.

Try Newport News. They have really nice clothes. Either that or click the link below for a search on "adult fleece loungewear".

Walmart and Goodwill. Really, I find some very good buys at Goodwill. Rich people don't wear out their clothes and I can get them for a fraction of the cost.

Go used for the bindings and deck, spring for some new boots. You want a board that is both height and weight appropriate. The typical way of finding out the right size is somewhere between the chin and nose of your kid while the board is stood up. Boards are measured in cm fyi) \nIf your kid is too light for the board, there will be no way he can control it no matter how good he is. Likewise if he gets into the park and he's too heavy for it, it will break. \nWhen you go to buy a board, bend it. Put the nose against the floor, hold the tail in one hand, and push on the middle with the other. Don't be afraid to push hard. Try to think about the pressure your applying and your sons weight.\nFor bindings let him have strap-ins, they take a little longer but I believe they are safer and give you a better hold on your board. If you are getting them used go for Burtons, they are hands down the safest and most reliable, espically when you don't know where they've been.\nBoots should fit tighter than normal kids shoes, avoid the 'room for growth' because that will make his foot slip around inside and make control more difficult. \nI bought my board for a grand total of around $300 and that was with a name brand helmet, and name brand everything else. \nI got mine aftermarket, which for you would be the end of this season when the sellers want to get rid of their stock. if your son can wait, try to get to the end of season sales and pick him out something nice. In the meanwhile you can lease a board for the entire season from a ski/snowboard shop for around $100-$200 or rent daily from your mountain. \nI hope these tips and advice help you out.\nTell your son to have fun!

I think that some large department store, like J.C. Penny or Sears would probably have them in boys sizes, if not you could probably find a men's extra small at Target or K-Mart.

Depending on where you are camping, you may be able to get by with a fleece liner, a down throw blanket, or a sheet, any of which can be found in a discount store. All of which are under 20 bucks. Or you can just pack a cool weather pair of PJs or sleep in your clothes or bring an old blanket from home.\n\nIf you need anything warmer in the summer, you should be able to get by with ANY low budget bag from a discount store. They aren't too hard to pick out. Your basic 40-50 degree bag. \n\nThere are a lot of variables to picking out a sleeping bag. If none of your needs are that extreme, then it isn't such a dilemma. But if you need lightweight, compressible, easy to hike with, AND roomy, warm, durable, then you are certainly going to pay for it. That's when you need to turn to a reputable brand of backpacking gear and you will get what you pay for, including high performance fabrics and insulations. Otherwise you end up with a very warm sleeping bag that weighs 12 lbs or a very light sleeping bag that falls apart in your hand. You will always have to compare and balance the things you want out of your bag. You will not find a 40 below bag that fits in the palm of your hand and lasts for 10 years in the arctic expeditions, and costs 50 dollars. \n\nCheck Walmart for any of these items above, or if you want a "real" camping bag (beware crappy zippers) try Slumberjack, very low budget yet official camping gear. Kelty makes better sleeping bags, and other manufacturers can really set you up nice. However, you just don't need that kind of technology in the summer.\n\nOne thing to consider when buying any camping gear is that, in addition to the brand of the piece you choose, it is important to choose a reputable retailer that stands behind their products. Kind of like appliances. You can buy a Kenmore washer at Sears with a warranty, or you can buy the same item from Joe Schmo on Ebay and you are stuck with it if it is a lemon. One of the best retailers in the camping biz is Campmor (great online selection), and another is REI. \n\nDon't forget with your summer sleep setup...that you need a mosquito net.

Volcom has awesome outerwear if you're willing to drop some serious cash.  If you're looking for an actual online retailer, try Board Paradise, Boards for Less, Boardzone, CCS, Eternal, Sideways People, The House, or Zumiez.

Online - try Ebay.\nOffline - try stores like Hot topics or Spencer gifts. They are the only places I can think of.

Hey, Glad to help with the MR2...Anyway, Go to DuluthTrading.com They sell All kinds of clothes and outdoor gear for MEN. One of their products is a Better pair of Boxers. The fabric is a Polyester knit that Is thin and stretchy while wicking moisture up to 10x better than cotton to keep you drier. They are a little pricey...about $15.00/pair but they are really good. The Longtail T shirts are great there as well...They are longer to avoid 'Plumbers Butt' Check it out...it is good stuff there.
