Keep an eye on Borah Gear

I've been eying a bivy and tarp from them for awhile. Guess I'll have to pull the trigger when that sale comes up.

I got a Borah Gear Stealth Backpack here on the forums, and I absolutely love it. They earned my business through a second hand sale.

"A couple pictures from the trip. We're back in the US now, will be ready to take orders again within 2 weeks. 25% off everything sale when we open!"

Just saw on their website. 25% off sale starts Feb. 22, and runs for a week.

I thought it a little odd that they deleted their prices. Do you think that is because starting prices may be higher tomorrow? Of course they have the right to do as they wish.

That was my thought exactly about the price when I checked out there site.

I'm pretty sure that the owner posted (either on these forums or on his website, can't remember which) that he removed all the purchase buttons while they were on vacation to avoid any confusion, i.e. orders delayed or not responded to.

Borah Gear has a very good reputation within this community for quality, and beyond fair customer service.

No price raises :)

We removed the Paypal buttons while we were gone, and the prices were listed in the buttons. Everything is priced exactly the same as it was before we left for Nepal, and the 25% will be taken off those prices. Website should be taking orders again within a few hours.

Order placed, glad to have you back!

John, I was wondering what type of down you use for the jackets and vest goose down or duck down?

Thanks!

Derek

Hi Derek,

It is 850 fill goose down, water resistant

John, What is the last day of the sale?

Looks like I will be ordering a down vest! :-)

Thanks for the fast response!

Derek

I have one, it's AWESOME! :-)

Hi Michael,

The sale will end on Tuesday at 6am PST. Originally we were thinking of running it a bit longer(about a week), but had no idea we would get this kind of a response! We are well over 100 orders since we opened up about 8 hours ago, and we want to be able to keep the lead times reasonable. A week of sales at this pace would put us months behind!

Drat. Great sale but bad timing.

John West,

What an awesome response to your sale! I've had a Stealth pack, side-zip bivy, and down vest from you guys, all top notch. In fact your down vest is the one insulation piece I carry on every trip.

Wow this Borah gear is awesome! I hope y'all had a blast on your Nepalese excursion. Just snagged a down jacket.

Hi guys
I'm after some down pants to the UK. How do i order 35" inseam and how much for UK postage ?
Sent you an email re the above.
Great response to your return !

EDIT : John replied via email – thanks John :)

I did miss that post from John. Editing out my comment above due to my own poor reading skills ;)

That was fast! The lead time was supposed to be 1-2 weeks, and it ended up being 4 days. Thanks for the great sale!
