Seattle Area – Outdoor Research is Having Thier Parking Lot Sale May 16 – 19

John,

Will there be a corresponding on-line sale?

Thanks.

Mark

No, it is just at the Seattle store.

Thanks John, this sale has been good to me in the past.

Thanks for that heads up! Will totally check it out.

I just called them up and they said "no" to your question. The sale will only be at the retail store here in Seattle…..no on-line sale.

I just noticed Anna covered your question………………….

Anna, John,

Thank you for checking. Too bad for us not in the PNW.

Troublemaker :)

I went yesterday morning and it was a test of resisting temptation! The sun was out and there were folk swarming over the bargains like bees with Visa cards. I knocked down two old ladies and got away with a Panorama rain shell for $62.50. That's the one with the pit zips that go all the way to the hem, so you can run your waist belt under and vent the sides like a poncho. It's the older model with the Pertex Shield fabric. That takes care of my rain gear stable (and my wallet).

There were racks full of $250 down jackets at 50% off and other sirens of the gear world. No Versaliner gloves {sniffle} and not many Seattle Sombreros. Most of the stuff in the store is 20% off too.

Standing in line, I could hear the clerks announcing the totals. My thumbnail guesstimate of the average sale is about $250.

I wonder if they put everything out the first day? {{{{{{{{{shudder}}}}}}}}

Dale I was there at 2:30 and stuff seem to be picked over- still some bargains but nothing I needed, though I did buy a couple of dry bags that were cheaper than I could make them for.
Most of the Jackets and men's stuff left were size "M", to small for me.
I think in years past the deals were better but with less stuff available.

There was more of women's the stuff, but I couldn't get it to fit.
