Hey all, Campsaver has created their own version of geartrade where they sell sample and returned gear. Pretty steap discount on a lot of stuff.

Right now they've got a ton of Rab gear in size men's large and women's medium. Basically one of each item in the company's lineup.

There are plenty of other items as well.

I just ordered pretty much one of each of Rab's gloves for right around the MSRP of the their top end Alliance (which was also in my order along with a latok, VR, liners, and icefall). They're slow to process so far but not unreasonable. I'll update if there are any snags.

Looks like a good opportunity to snag some RAB winter gear for a lot of folks and a future destination to look for bargains.

snagged a Rab Momentum 3 layer eVENT jacket (12 oz) for a $119 :)

I e-mailed a question regarding the description of a Rab item, and they responded and fixed the listing promptly. I ordered on 9/29, it was processed immediately, and received the order 10/07.

I thought this would be an ideal time to try out a few Rab items, and I'm happy, but not in love. The MeCo hat I received seemed to have some QC issues (mismatched stitching and logo on the wrong side). But for the price, I'm satisfied enough.

I got the VR pants, something I probably wouldn't think to get if they weren't for $50, but they seem like they'll make a great winter action pant for skiing and hiking. They weigh less than 10oz, but the construction is really well thought out with patches of softshell around the knees and cuffs and pertex equilebrium with the wicking liner elsewhere. I think this will pair well with my thin merino ninja suit and a VR alpine on top for backcountry skiing. The cuffs are wide, so they'll fit well over ski boots, but they are easy to pull up or slim down with a cinch cord. That rab sale is a steal. Just a small construction error the sort of splits the cargo pocket, but not an issue, IMO

The demand anorak is awesome as well.
