This is the greatest mouse I’ve ever used and a great callout on the cable being replaceable should it wear out. Have the original version for 10 years and only got the latest one because it’s easier to switch between two devices wirelessly

Sterilite have been the best I’ve used as well

It’s the best built mouse on the planet. Have had two sinse 2007 and only replaced became the new version was Bluetooth and paired easier with multiple devices

I checked them out in Burlington. Exceptional heavy weight flannel but sadly my house is too warm for them

I find polyester and foam pillows far too hot. IMHO down pillows or wool pillows are the way to go. I’ve been quite happy with Pacific Coast Down

I got 5 years out of my dualit kettle so not bifl but i was happy enough given multiple boils every day . This is in US though so the lower voltage makes a noticeable difference in boil time. I like the cleanable stainless scale filter where most brands you pour through plastic

Also wanted to add a Zeroll ice cream scoop, they are used by all of the ice cream shops in the area and ours is in great shape after 5 years. Easily available at restaurant supply stores

Vollrath one piece stainless tongs (and other super durable stuff from a kitchen supply store) Nordicware cookie sheets

Great share! Looking forward to exploring those listings

The Apex Bionic Softshell in particular has been amazing. I'm aware that they aren't as good across the board as they used to be (same goes for Columbia imho) but there are definitely still some premium level jackets to be found

That’s their guarantee. When i moved to Maryland i started with a down sweater which is great. It can be worn under a torrentshell rain jacket as well which is nice if it’s freezing rain etc. i also have a synthetic insulated jacket which is better for hiking and an insulated rain jacket for long periods in freezing rain/active snow. Best recommendation is figure out what you want to do most and then try a couple on at rei or somewhere if you can. Their staff are pretty knowledgeable. No one jacket can do everything amazing that’s why there are so many types. A good collection can be built over time and last a really long time

BIFL = Patagonia. Pricey yes but have the right jacket for any climate and their warranty cannot be beaten.

Also had very good luck with LL Bean and North Face.
