I have been contemplating this for a while but kept forgetting to make a thread to ask.
What are some bits of gear that you have purchased specifically because they had some "feature" that you thought that you could not live without, only to find out that you never actually use or needed that feature in the first place.
My example? My Lange XT 130 boots, bought them instead of the RS version because the XT had a walk mode. Now, except for playing around with the walk mode toggle, I have not actually used the walk mode in the two years I've owned the boots.
