Hello,
I am looking at buying a WM Megalite and was curious when and where they go on sale?? Is moosejaw my best bet?? When is there typical sale and where? heh-Joshua-
Sep 29, 2011 at 2:15 pm #1784909Wish I could of helped you. Recently picked up a alpinelite myself on sale, first time I ever saw a solid sale for them. Here are a few links that may help you. Let us know what you decide.
Almost bought from here. The free overfill and a great deal on a pillow were key.

http://www.backcountrygear.com/western-mountaineering.htmlSep 29, 2011 at 2:19 pm #1784911There are no WM sales going on right now. Be patient and one will pop up soon. Unless you really need the bag for a trip soon, I would wait. I would not pay full price for one when they go on 20% sale it seems 4-5 times a year. When they do go on sale though, have Moosejaw match the price and you get the mj points too.
Sep 29, 2011 at 3:13 pm #1784933Thanks Greg for the links; I will keep a watch out and see if they do a 20% sale soon. B.T.W. Bobby the bag is for the PCT 2012l; so I have plenty of time. Thanks for the advice guys; good to hear those bags go on sale./
-Joshua-Sep 29, 2011 at 3:29 pm #1784944WM bags do go on sale but it is random and not a regular occurrence. I do see sales but it is mostly at independent retailers and usually not all bags in the line. I just got one on sale at Mel Cottons last month but it wasn't on all bags. 20% is the most I ever see off.
Sep 29, 2011 at 4:03 pm #1784955Best place to buy Western Mountaineering (or any brand) when not on sale elsewhere is Moontrail. They have a bonus points deal that generally works out to between 10-20% off, that you can cash in at check out or use towards other gear. Not sure which Megalite you were looking for but the reg. can be had there for $312 ($355 – 43 bonus points) all in :

One of the retail stores in Dallas includes WM in its periodic sales, often at 30% off. Not sure that Nexttag or anyother screen scraper would pick it up, but you might check your local outdoor shops.
