Totes on the REI!
I've been there three times this week: Gloves, metallic-y glove liners, 2 balaclavas (I gave one away because it was just a bit too criminal looking), and an REI brand fleece zip-front hoody to layer under my Corazzo 5.0. It's perfect for Atlanta's chill.
I'm headed back tomorrow for some groovy Merrell boots.
I grew up in California and lived in NY. I can take both types of climates, but warmer is def better.

Agreed! I've purchased my cold weather gear and other accessories at a variety of places including REI, which usually has a lot of good clearance on their outlet site. Because I'm a cheap bastard, I shop pretty competitively for the stuff I can't get at my dealer so I'm always looking out for deals.
Unfortunately, I find too many of them, meaning I usually just buy more stuff and don't really "save" in the long run.
Whatever!

And REI has amazing sales! Plus the membership benefits!
