    One strange phenomena I find with OP shops is that if you want a really special piece of kit - a practical piece -------- often it's easier to find in an OP shop than in new places.

    the best featured , lightest, perfect for walking and riding spray/wind jacket I've got came from an op shop - I've never seen one as good in sports shops etc.
    Ditto there's an ultra tough, very warm vest I wear - again - OP shop - never seen one like it in any sports shop - including specialist sports shops - I got that in England, just wasting time looking about - there it was - and, I thought - wow - that looks really good -

    It's an amazing thing when the weather demands - keeps the core warm but, allows freedom

    I've no idea why OP shops come up with gems whilst you can hunt and hunt new stores and go home thinking - well, that was a waste of time
