I just got an REI thing in the mail for Fall Clearance. Am I the only one who still thinks it's summer? Anyway, it did bring to mind that this is the best time of year to score deals on backpacking gear so I thought I'd start a thread. Some of my best gear has been acquired between August and October because I wouldn't have never bought it for full price! If anyone sees any really sweet deals on stuff, or if you're looking for a sweet deal on something in particular - post it here.
Thumbing through the REI ad, two things popped out at me - Staring on August 23rd, they're selling the Big Agnes Copper Spur UL2 for $100 off at $299 and Osprey Atmos 50's for $50 off at $149. Probably sticks out to me because I use both of those items a ton and love them, probably two of my favorite pieces of gear. I'm hoping to find some deals on boots - I've loved the Vasque Screes for years but the latest redesign has me rethinking them after walking 50 miles last week with a gigantic blister. I'm also pretty stoked on getting a gravity filter after spending a week on the trail with @slc_dan and his platypus. And maybe even a jetboil type stove since @Ndheiner stomped my trusty pocket rocket into the mud this summer. Oh.. and a Kayak. I'm really close to pulling the trigger on a Pungo 140 but I see no deals in sight. What are you guys on the hunt for?
