me too, and I figure its an age/ experience thing. One tends to either not think, or put up with being miserable when one is younger, and or you haven't had unpleasant experiences yet to learn. I'm aware that there is clothing that works really well and is light, but a lot of it is super expensive and I feel realistically that a lot of them will not function like this for long, but will look and work great for a certain while...
i guess if i had money to throw around things would be fine, but I don't so I often just stick with what I presently have.
