Everything is more expensive over there. I work right on the main tourist strip from the Orlando attractions to the nearest mall and all and anglish come in raving about towels, bedding and kitchen gagets. For some reason regular bathroom towels are very expensive over there and don't nearly come in the same color selections we have over here??? Same thing with bedding and comforter sets too??? Strange eh!!

Not only that but it also proves SoCalMikes statement!

Its funny, I kind of figured most of you guys as something OTHER than bargain basement saftey gear people. Especially with all the posts about wearing gear and helmets. You should addend on your posts that cheap gear is best.
