REI Fall Sale started today, finally allowing you an opportunity to upgrade your warm season wardrobe into something more fitting for Fall. It’s the pretty standard ’25-30% off a selection of items plus a coupon code (FALL20) for 20% off anything except big items’. A couple items stood out as decent deals.
eVent = little boy. Brand new eVent jacket + REI warranty + just over $200 = fat man. Both are the bomb, one is just bigger.
Yeah, another jacket, and certainly not the most breathable jacket out there. But, at $69 is perfect for some fall steelhead bushwhacking, and it’s cheap enough that you won’t cry about if you tear it on a tree limb.
Spendy? On sale for $110, so hell yes. Heavy? Yup. But can you find a pad or combo of pads with a higher R-value for winter camping? Bonus points for having the pump built into the pad now, you used to have to use the stuff sack as a bag to inflate it so the condensation in your breath didn’t freeze inside the insulation.
All REI brand down bags 25% off
Yeah, all of ‘em, any temp rating. 10 degree long? Yup, on sale. -20 short? Yup, on sale.
Yes, technically it’s a three man/three season tent. In reality it’s a two man + gear three and a half season tent. Basically, you and a buddy can get thru anything you’d want to be out in. Yes, it will likely get shredded on shitty winds on Rainier, but for most things outside of hardcore mountaineering a good tent for the price. Oh, and yeah, it’ll be warm in the summer.
In other news, this blog layout sucks, I need to go back to the old one. Anyways, yeah, get your economic stimulus on.
