Adventure Gear

onetrek

I have read and heard and obviously come to understand the importance of good trekking gear. So I have decided to invest a little fortune on them (wish for them to last a very very long time). I have narrowed down to the following shoes and packs and am on the lookout for h20 resistant windbreakers, fleece jackets, gloves, balaclavas, socks, medikits, lighting equipment, pocket tools, walking poles, TENTS, thermal inners, sleeping bags, sleeping mats and everything else . Please be kind enough to refer me to any reviews, shops (Mumbai) or enlighten me with your opinions of the same...

shoes
Lytos Innsbruck Hydrotex Shoes looks reliable
Lafuma Vercors, Hiking, not breathable
Woodlands Never tried
Hunters Tried in pain
Weinbrenner interesting

Packs
Lafuma Right Road 60L +10 Rucksack find it weak
Boll Oracle 55+20 Pack looks tough
Boll Master 33+ Pack (for missus) looks good
Millet 55+20 no opinion yet
Avi Packs A little ungainly

Also looking for the leomann or any other detailed map series.

Thank You
