I'm recently arrived in the old-country and am totally unfamiliar with buying gear here, vs. the US. There I know of places like REI, Sierra, Moosejaw, Spadout, etc. where you can get killer closeouts. Right now with the weak dollar, it may be better to ship from the US, but not all retailers do this at reasonable prices.
Where can I go for the same kind of deals here in Europe (I'm in France, Germany or UK are cheap to ship from)? Thanks for your input; perhaps we could create a Wiki page with links.
Feb 23, 2010 at 12:01 pm #1577577I've found some excellent deals at local gear shops in Frankfurt, Fulda, and Kassel ,DE. Just like the retailers in the 'States, they often have hidden gems of slow moving items and the like.
Below are a few online resources and/or retailers and there are more that can be found – most of which seem to be in the UK (remember, no VAT). Try a google search for deals on Rab gear and other European manufacturers of outdoor gear and you should come up with some decent results.
