I've seen some good things at REI Outlet and Sierra Trading Post...but not the stuff I need at the moment.
My specific concern, not to draw attention away from the original post, but if people could comment on this as well is how to get stuff on line with having to pay an arm and a leg for duty (for Canadians)... are there any good stores in Canada besides MEC?? I know that UPS always gouges me with duty and brokerage fees, but when I boughts stuff from EMS it was much more reasonable (Zilch)... I don't know if the same would hold true on big ticket items...
For stores located in Canada, it's not easy finding something, and even more difficult finding it at a good price but there is more then just MEC.
www.mec.ca
www.lacordee.com
www.monodsports.com
www.escaperoute.ca
www.altitude-sports.com
There's also more that I can't think of at this moment.
I've used all and had great experiences with all, BUT be warned, escaperoute.ca charges a HUGE amount for shipping. I tried to order some OR Stormtracker gloves from them recently for $85, the shipping was 76$ for the gloves which pack down to nothing and weigh nothing - havn't ordered from them since.
