How's fleece for you? I really like the Maggie's Organics Organic Cotton Fleece Leggings. They are 4% spandex, so it's limited on synthetic materials. I've had a pair for a year and they are holding up well so far. They're also very comfortable and warm.

Same for me. I have no idea how to tighten it up properly.

I bought a random office chair from a used office supply store. Asked for the chair that would last. $50 and ten years later its still going. My cat has torn up the upholstery sharpening his nails, but that’s expected as a cat owner.

Contrary view. I have two Grip6 belts and they just do not hold their position. No obvious wear. No user error. But I am constantly retightening them. They hold for a little bit, but then they inevitably start slipping. Tried everything to keep them secure, but they just lose grip. Not a fan.

Top drawer!! Digging through the shit single socks in keep for some reason to find the decent socks.

That tight fit is really jarring to me. That's what I came here to see. My one pair of thin/ultra thin Darn Tough socks are difficult to put on and make my pinky toes really uncomfortable. I got the correct size for my shoe size and don't have very wide feet. They also create a weird sweaty sensation for me, not necessarily hot, that I was specifically trying to avoid. I do love grip 6 belts (especially the carbon fiber buckle for airports and no ass) so maybe I'll try their socks. Hanes killed the particular x-temp sock I came to love and was using to replace all my socks. Their new "premium" version feels like t r a s h and is hot and sweaty

Socks are important

I managed to find icebreaker pants and leggings on sale a few years ago. They are fabulous, but I can now only find them full price. And they are expensive.

GoRuck. Edit* a bigger factor is probably what the weight is you are carrying. Goruck is designed for mass but not necessarily density. Also I am an idiot and my mass and density example might not be right.

That’s really great to know. I’ve been looking for their leggings secondhand but no luck yet- might just wait it out and hopefully one will pop up. I checked out their 100 day challenges and it looks like it’s only for their dresses :(

wool& is a good brand. They usually have a 100 day challenge, where you wear the stuff 100 days in a row, and they'll give you a coupon code for the same price as what you bought. So, think of it as two for one?

They hold up. My wife has several pairs and has been wearing them every day for over a year.

I do this too! It makes it easier to rotate through the socks so they wear evenly.

I'll check these out. Thanks for the post. I was just talking to my sister-in-law who was complaining about not being able to buy good socks.

I only buy a specific pair of black mid adidas socks for this reason, they are my favorite sock and no matching is needed

Wish they did toe socks

I am sad too. It was reasonable priced but I paid more because I ordered a “custom” color with constellations etched into it. It’s suppose to be used as a key chain too, but the o-ring (to attach a larger ring with the keys?) is teeny tiny and doesn’t seem very strong. I love what one is supposed to be able to do with a multi-tool “pocket knife”. I ordered my brother, the classic Leatherman years ago. He loved it. I think back then (the 1980’s?) I got it from L.L. Bean. I would still give them a try. I like that it’s made in the U.S.A. and I like the story of how the company came to be.

Best purchase Iade for 400 bucks off craigslist 4 years ago

Insanely comfortable as long as you don't have an unusual foot shape. Very good temperature control, perfect sweat wicking, no hot spots/irritation... I use them as my liner sock for backpacking, and a thicker one for running.

FWIW, I think Ashley is probably the closest thing to "opposite" of BIFL that I could think of when it comes to living room furniture. Just my $0.02.

...I only see 5?

Same, I’ve been able to get ~5 years from all my pleather chairs. I’ll probably have different preference in 10 years and will probably move a few times in the next 20 years. I just don’t need my chair to last that long.

I got their measuring spoons and I freaking love them. The measurements are molded indents and they're light enough plastic that I'm not worried about being a little rough with them

My Hank's belt and wallet were both pretty expensive at 100 bucks or so, but they've been chugging along for probably 5 years apiece and I honestly feel like they could go for another 50 without even thinking about it

I haven’t bought a single one of them. My grandpa originally got me one 5 or so years ago for either my birthday or Christmas. And since I liked it so much they’ve become a staple gift for me from him. This Christmas he got me the Bison one and the salmon one

What brand?
