Dave,
Every one of us will have favorites for shirts, shoes, whistles, pants, etc. As for me, I like the Cliff Keen all polyester extra long shirts even though I'm only 6'1". They stay tucked in better. I've never worn the micro mesh shirts, but many of my partners have. I don't think I would like them but that's just me! Many people hate belted pants. I wouldn't wear the unbelted ones despite being called a heretic by many on this site because the work better for me. One word I hope you will take very seriously. Don't skimp on shoes. The right shoes make all the difference in walking off feeling tired or just plain hurting. Everyone's feet and knees have different needs and every brand has it's strength and drawbacks. You'll know when you get the right one on. Fox 40 classic or CMG on the whistle. Let us know what products you decide to go with.
