What are they? Boots, gloves, earmuffs, ball warmers? What?

They're probably cheap because the foreign labor that made them didn't get much of a cut. I am not busting on you, though; a lot of my equipment is from WalMart.

i say "you get what you paid for" when it is something substantial, like a gun or a bow. but in cases like golf clubs, for example, you could have the bran-new-tiger-woods-nike clubs that cost $1500 and still suck at golf, while i beat you with my grandpa's old wooden clubs. So there is some limitations to that term, but not for a pair of gloves, just get the cheaper ones that seem the nicest to you.
shop local, shop American!

yeah i try to pick and choose what i buy there usually a good price on special stuff the stuff in the ile is not always the best price but the center advertised stuff usually a lot cheaper than anywhere else. thats how they get you they are masters at... my mom worked there im not just bashing thats actually there policy

I always buy boots clothing and sox at clearance prices once the GOOD stuff cheaper than the schlock at Wally-world. Scored a NEW Pair of Sorels in my size for 39.95 At Cabelas tent sale last year. And new Browning boots this year for 29.95 this year. Gotta admit I buy ammo there at Wally's tho.
