REI 50% off .83

They have been updating the posted prices to reflect the deep discount. Some things I wanted were $104.83, and went to 50% off that when put in my cart. Other things, like Mistral Gaiters, had the updated price on the product page. They'll eventually get to all these things.

Basically, price in shopping cart should be final.

Placed my order and got the discount this afternoon. Picked up some Peak Poles for myself and a couple gifts at great prices.

I got the following:

REI Peak UL Carbon Compact Trekking Poles (wife)
REI Peak UL Carbon Trekking Poles
REI Spruce Run Jacket
Patagonia Warm One Beanie
Injinji Running Gloves
REI Mistral Gaiters
REI Nevis Jacket (wife)

50% off 0.83 items not working for me, either – I'm plotting against all of you as soon as that extra discount kicks in.

As I said before, there may not be any "extra discounts" when you put items in your cart, as many (if not most) items have had their prices reduced on the front end (the item page) by this point.

If you were looking last night/earlier this week and noted that the current/cart price is no different, then there is an issue.

sadly, the exped downmat sold out before I could get my order in.

I keep looking at the Hobitat and vestibule. I've got a nice big car tent, but it's several years old, and has a low door. I need to be strong……

Broker than I was this morning.

Got two pair of trekking poles for the kids at $15 each.
Got a pair of carbon +shock absorber trekking poles for me at $55. I may also order the Leki Super Makalu instead- even though they're way heavier I really liked the pair I borrowed for the JMT last summer. I'm just bummed they're still $80.

Then logged back in
Got two REI Lite-Core 1.5 Self-Inflating Pad – Short for the kids at $17 each.
Also two different pads for me to decide between:
Pacific Outdoor Equipment AO Aero Mtn Pad – 72×20 (Women's) $39.83
Pacific Outdoor Equipment AO Aero Mtn Pad – 48X20 $34.83
Considered the Exped Downmat instead but stuck with self-inflating.

I like everyone else it seems got a compact carbon trekking poles for my wife and a regular pair for myself. 2 for 1.

Got a bunch of misc. stuff for car camping, and a curious buy, a micro SD card with a converter that makes it fit in a regular SD slot. Should be handy for my Blackberry for extra pictures or videos of the grandkids.

What's up with the peak UL poles. They have lichen left? What does that mean? Is it just the color?

I want to try and grab a pair for my girlfriend!

Edit: Also, the site isn't working

I think lichen is just the color.

Coo…That's what I figured. Thanks for confirming!

One of the great things about this site is the enormous number of ways one can get into trouble. I also got a set of the trekking poles, rationalizing that none of rest of my current 47 pairs of poles would go easily on an airplane.

BTW, I checked with REI, and it turns out that the poles are actually made with recycled lichen. Yes, there are some structural compromises, but the designers felt the ecological benefits outweighed them. It's all part of the captive reindeer breeding program.

It was slim pickings at my local REI – I did walk away with a MH Monkeyman pull over for about a 75% discount, but I failed to get a six month jump-start on b-day gifts for the gf.

I got the last REI Sub Kilo 15 deg. woman's bag in the store. 2 lbs for 85 bucks! Probably not the highest quality, but for an entry-level backpacking bag, it does the trick!

And we're now broke.

I feel bad. I'll probably return at least half of what I ordered. I blame it on the "limited quantities clearance sale".

I ordered a REI Sub Kilo 15 degree woman's Long bag too. I'm not sure if it will be roomy enough for me- I think it claims 57" at the shoulder. I'm 5'9" and about 175 pounds.

I found three downmats at the Berkeley REI; I'll likely only keep one or two, so if anyone is interested in purchasing one (a 7 short, 7 regular and 7 DLX), let me know.

They also had a couple of Arc'teryx Naos 55 packs for a great price; I had one in my hands but decided to let someone else who was drooling have it :-)

I may be interested in the downmat. Specifically which downmat is this (reviews?). How much was it?

I'll take one of those down mats, please!

I would love to get my hands on a downmat 7 DLX. Sent PM.

Didn't know this would strike such a chord!

I've received a number of requests via PM and will get in touch with anyone who wrote; I'm afraid I'll only have one or two to sell.

Thanks for all the responses regarding the Downmats – I ended up having one to pass along, and it's gone to the first person who responded. If I spot any more out there, I'll post again.
