Absolutely. There are some basics, like snow caves, don't get wet unless spare clothing is Immediately Available, etc. But, materials, weights and use vary widely between people. They vary even more with climates. What works in +20F with wet snow isn't generally appropriate for -20F in dry, windy weather. If a person sweats a lot their needs are going to be different than a person who hardly perspires.

A good basic rule is to try different things when life and limb do not depend on them. When you find something that works buy lots. When you need replacements the Best For You item will no longer be available.
