Isn't it great when you have a piece of gear which is nice and simple but just does the job really well?
My Marmot Driclime jacket is a prime example. Bought about 5 years ago for only £40 and it is just about needing retirement now thanks to a huge rip in the sleeve meaning it lets the wind in.
I love it; it's warm, breathable and keeps the wind off (when not ripped). I have bought a softshell jacket since which cost more than double the amount and isn't nearly as breathable or windproof (but is warm when there's no wind), and I simply don't like it so much, so I find myself looking to buy another driclime to replace the one which is now shredded - I guess the only downside to it is that the outer material isn't robust enough for gritstone thrashes!
Okay, so that's a bit of a ramble, but what bits of gear do you have which don't shout and sing about having all the bells and whistles but just do the job, and do it well?

In reply to Byronius Maximus: Petzl Reverso 3. Mountain equipment randonne gloves - cheap comfortable and warm!
In reply to Byronius Maximus: My rope, bog standard but does the job really well
In reply to Byronius Maximus: Rab alpine pull on - my most worn top ever, combined with a base layer and perhaps a micro fleece it handles virtually any UK mountain day. Needs a shell in heavy rain and a belay jacket if really chilly. If it is hot take it off and stuff it into a really small pocket. For everything in between which seems to account for 90% of my days out it works a treat.
I've heard tell 'The Ann Summers Rampant Rabbit Thruster Deluxe' does what it says on the tin!
In reply to Byronius Maximus: Rab Neutrino Plus. Even though the zip broke and has been glued back up it now makes a great pullover with good venting options.

They weigh 50 grams and also make an excellent winter cosy for Tesco's 500ml water bottles. Minus 9 the other day on Hells lum and my partners water froze, whereas my pre-warmed juice was still slightly warm at the end of the day!

Previous post called it a buff. I remember the first incarnation of this by an old firm called "Survival-Aids" and they called it a "head-over".
It's basically and off cut from the thigh region of some stretchy poly-prop thermals, but it's a neck guard, face mask, hat, sweat band......I still have my original (nearly 30 years old now) and it still does the job. I would be mortally wounded if I lost it.

I think the original GriGri is a design classic. Revolutionary, become an industry standard, much imitated by other companies but with very little substantive improvement on the original design, only now (20 years later) has the design been updated - although arguably the original is still the better device for most applications (very skinny ropes excepted).
I think Petzl have a pretty good track record for gear which just works - the original spirit quickdraw design has been around for donkeys years and is still the gold standard for sport redpointing.
I have raved about arcteryx harnesses elsewhere.

Does my LowAlpine tripple point ceramic guide jacket, which is now 17 years old fit this catagory?
Its now relegated to walking around the shops, taking the dog out and doing DIY but it is still completely breathable and waterproof. Zip is buggered though and needs a special way to fasten it.
Other than that my ATC XP is simple by design and stops my fat mate from decking.

Can I recommend an easy way to fix your old jacket? Put some not very sticky electricians tape on the outside of the tear to hold the edges together and give a neat finish, then put a bead of seam sealant ( http://www.mcnett.com/Seam-Grip-Seam-Sealer-Outdoor-Repair-P133.aspx ) on the inside up the edges, take the tape off after twelve hours and leave for another 12 to dry. The seam sealant is flexible and tough, I fixed a huge tear on my montane feather light this way.
Then buy a new jacket and you have one for grit and another for normal use!
