I have $175 in amazon gift cards to spend.

And I don't know what to get.

Camelbak?

Thermal bike gear?

Any recommendations or recent favorite purchases that you could not live without? I am overwhelmed with choice.

Seasons of Big Bang theory? Hehe. I'm not helpful sorry. Sounds fun (and stressful trying to find the "right" thing).

I usually stock up on running shoes

Do you have a Garmin?

Best cycling jacket ever! I've owned two.

I do, but it is an old and clunky 310. I have definitely thought of replacing it with a nicer one.

Nice! How heavy is it?

We have a camelbak MULE we love for mtn biking. We actually just bought a second (newer) version so no one has to use the crappy off brand pack we have.

A Garmin/GPS-of-some-sort would be a good option too. But price check to REI, I know they have good Garmin deals right now.

Or a bunch of smaller stuff...? I love my SPIbelt + Nathan handheld + socks + compression + whatever else you can think of?

Online shopping is a problem for me...

Not heavy. It's a really nice wind jacket. I wear mine down to freezing on the road with some base layers on underneath. Below freezing, I wear a thermal jacket.

Does it have to be H&F? I got a pair of Frye boots for 25% off. I think most shoes and bags are part of that sale.

[zoidberg]

It doesn't have to be, but that tends to be what I get the most use from.

[boston340]

New running shoes and and tights!

Gotcha. I'd be tempted to get a fancy new garmin, but I also run pretty much exclusively so that would be the most useful. The cycling jacket options look nice!

[zoidberg]

Ok, I ended up getting:
- some thermal/windbreaker shell pants for biking or running
- a camelbak
- a cycling jersey
- a regular shirt
- a 3 pack of camis

I decided to go with pants over a jacket because I already have a serviceable jacket.

Excited for it all to come!
