The importance of finding gear that fits can not be emphasized enough.  Your clothing should be comfortable, fit for purpose and let you feel relatively comfortable as well as protecting you from the sun, keep you warm when its cold and cool when its hot.  Your footwear should support and cradle your feet.  But the same should also apply for your sleeping bag and mat, as a good nights sleep will make an overnight hike feel like a gentle stroll.  And we'll make sure your trail runners and gaiters fit too.
