I was wondering if people often source their clothing (and other equipment) from retailers that specialise in other sports and hobbies.

I flyfish and use fleeces, waterproofs and boots in may different guises, and buy my stuff from catalogues from flyfishing suppliers. This, of course means I am kitted out for birding from a non-birding supplier. However, I was recently looking for a bouyancy aid for wading and found the best deal was £20 less in a online yachting supplies shop. Finding alternative suppliers has become quite enlightening.

I 'm curious if anyone else here sources their equipment, clothing and other stuff for other suppliers, outside of the world of bird watching.

Brasher, Merrel, Karrimor, Berghaus, Columbia, Sprayway - some amazing prices and reliable.

Good calls, thanks for your info. Good camo and keeping dry and warm are essentials in the South Wales Valleys.
