Does MLD ever have sales/discounts?

I wouldn’t wait for it. My recollection is the last discount was around Black Friday and I think it was 5 or 10% off of orders in excess of $500.

They generally have a Black Friday sale as mentioned above, but don’t expect the kind of discounts you see from the mainstream outdoor companies.

Thx for the responses guys. That’s pretty much what I was guessing but wanted to at least double check. HMG had that 1-day 15% off sale a month ago and I see GG do sale things regularly, but hadn’t ever seen something for MLD.

If you can wait then check gear swap regularly. That’s rhe best way in general to get deals on cottage gear.

Thx Paul. I def watch GS religiously… chk it prob 4-5 times per day. Unfortunately I haven’t seen either the mitts or gaiters come up in the last 4-5 months. And I’d do a WTB, but I’ve tried before and haven’t had much success. Either I get offered a lot of things close to what I want, but not quite… or someone posts the thing I want w/o noticing my WTB, and/or contacting me first, and someone else swoops in on the item before I notice it. At least w/ these two items, looks like I’ll just order them from MLD.

That’s arguably the best way to help MLD continue making some of the best gear on the market :)

I love MLD stuff but I would recommend looking into Borah Gear’s 3L Event mitts for a cheaper option.  They are slightly lighter, less expensive ($27.50), have a reinforced palm, and they work really well IME.  I have no experience with MLD’s mitts but I am sure they are nice, and they may fit better due to the articulation they mention on their site. Just my .02

I’ve used both MLD and Borah rain mitts and found them inadequate in persistent rain. I suggest you check out Andrew Skurka’s excellent suggestion:

Perfect for cold wet conditions. I don’t care so much about covering my hands in warm rain.

Is it just me or do those look like a sturdier version of dishwashing gloves?

haha those def look like beefy dishwashing gloves. If Andrew endorses them, I’m sure they’re not crappy, but they do look a little suspect.

I’ve looked pretty hard at the Borah Gear overmitts too. I’m pretty tempted by the super low cost but they just feel a little too much like oven mitts (not a typo). And I’ve sold a lot of pretty pricey items so I’m fine spending the ~$50 for the MLDs. But since I’m not in a hurry to buy, wanted to check if there was any sort of regular sale which I should wait for.

Hey I don’t give a crap what they look like…..as long as they perform!

And these do work better than anything else I’ve tried.

Those seeking to score style points must definitely look elsewhere…..

only seen black friday 20%, and maybe if your lucky a random 10% off (may be a certain item, i think it happened last year)
