I had to look it up. MEC = REI, for those of us "south of the border". Maybe folks here already knew that, hangs her head in shame, but I'm still learning y'alls language.

I found some nice wool blend turtle/roll/necks at Banana Republic. Still need more WARM things - light enough weight to wear inside as a layer. Guess I'll be adding to my wool wardrobe for a while, right? Not much chance to wear my sleeveless tops year round like I used to - topped with a lightweight wool sweater in the winter. See, I do own wool - just what I have you'd classify as "summer weight."

Bought myself some LLB boots - so I can do field work in this wet squishy ground and keep my toes dry. Now I need more hiking socks.
