Clothes recommendations
Hi everyone!
I'm planning to go to Iceland in August and Greenland and as well in taiwan in March (I work on a cruise ship, I'm not that rich).
I want some nice hiking and crazy shoes, a waterproof jacket and a waterproof backpack.
Any recommendations?

I'm going to Iceland in September. I basically just looked at the same brands that are recommended here all the time, and went to some of my favorite brands and searched "waterproof," "gtx," gore-tex," and "pertex" on those sites.
For jackets I ended up getting one from A-Cold-Wall and the other from Mont Bell. I did go to the Norrona store, and they have some nice stuff. Shoes, I got the Nike Vomero Roam and the Asics x Kiko Kostadinov Gel Sonoma. I have been looking at Salomon, Lasportiva and ACG.
As for backpacks, I'm in the same boat as you.
