What I'd purchase if I was just starting out hiking and was wanting to get gear that is quality, technical, made for hiking/active wear, and that fit into a tighter budget.

As someone who doesn't like spending money, I personally am a fan of spending a little more upfront to potentially save a lot in the future.
