Another two things to keep an eye out for are the polypro long underwear that they sell (incredibly warm for the price tag, but heavy--especially compared with the polyester grid fleeces now on the market) and the M65 jacket and pant liners (also heavy, but definitely the cheapest [list price, at least] and most durable puffy clothing on the market--they use the same material as the poncho liners, but semi-tailored for your body).
Hope it helps!
