I just received an REI sale mailing and it had two items that struck me as noteworthy bargains. Kuhl Kuhldry jeans for men are on sale for $39. The fabric is 67% cotton/33% nylon so they might not be so quick to dry, but who knows? I like the non-blue, non-100% cotton approach for travel. Also they have the excellent Marmot PreCip raincoats for $69. These may be in-store prices as I don’t see them reflected yet on the REI website.
Good reviews for Kuhl jeans and info from the Kuhl site. I remember looking at these now.They’re not exactly dress pant substitutes.
