Another Saturday Shopping for Gear

Another walk to Chatswood for some more gear shopping. This time some tops for Leanne. We’re still looking for a waterproof jacket and a fleece for her, plus some t-shirts and shirts. We found shirts and t-shirts in Paddy Pallin which suited her, but she wasn’t convinced about any of the waterproof jackets or the fleeces. We looked in Kathmandu, Columbia and Mountain Design with no luck either (although she did get some more thermals in Kathmandu). There is the female version of the Polartec fleece I bought in Mountain Design which is on special at the moment – but she really doesn’t like the colour (Cherry). There was also a good lightweight waterproof jacket in MD, but it was a lot more expensive than other similar jackets we’ve seen – we’ll keep looking. So, looks like we’re heading in to town once more tomorrow for our regular Sunday shopping trip.
