What's your go-to site to buy gear or clothing for hiking/backpacking?

The wife and I are starting to get out on the trails a bit more and I think it may be time to upgrade our gear. I haven't been too impressed with the brick and mortar shops around town. As much as I prefer to buy some stuff, such as clothing, in person, I think I might be best off going online. Can anyone recommend any lesser known sites that have a good selection of gear/clothing at reasonable prices?

I had some great responses in this discussion which was essentially the same question. I think you'll find them helpful:

REI or CABELAS. I joined REI while in Germany in 1978. They were just mail order then. When they opened A store near me 2005, I was still in their system so did not have to rejoin. I usually buy when things are on sale or visit their close out web page.
