April 29, 2008 - Gear Swap & Sale, May 8th-10th

April 9, 2008 - Spring is here!

We're getting new gear in the store all the time. Here are some products to keep in mind when you're gearing up for your spring and summer adventures.

Marmot PreCip - $149.99

I'm not sure if you've noticed, but it rains around here and if you live here you're going to need rainwear. If you're looking for a jacket that's going to keep you dry and looking good, you want the PreCip from Marmot.

PreCip is a microporous barrier that allows water vapour (perspiration) to pass through the barrier while keeping out larger water molecules (rain). What this means is that you can go hiking in the rain and this jacket will keep you dry from both rain and sweat. Combine a precip jacket with a pair of Precip pants ($99) and you're ready for the worst coastal rain storms.

Black Diamond Momentum Package - $89.99

If you're looking at getting into Rock Climbing this is the package for you. Included in the Momentum Package is a Black Diamond Momentum A/L Harness, ATC Belay Device, Locking Carabiner, Chalk Bag, and White Gold Chalk. The perfect package to get you started.

Deuter DS Hike 20 - $119.99

Ideal for those days when it's sunny one minute and pouring down rain the next. This top-loading pack is made of waterproof fabric and has the seams taped to keep all water out. It's even go Deuter's AirComfort system; a mesh barrier that allows air to freely flow between the pack and your back to prevent sweat buildup.

If you're looking for a daypack that will let you keep going when the rain starts to pour, check out the Deuter DS series of packs.

March 18, 2008 - Winter Gear Blowout!
