    Default ULA Sale for Vets

    I'm hoping this hasn't been posted already, but I saw on Facebook and BPL that ULA is having a sale today for veterens. Class company, it still amazes me that some hikers insist on buy gear made in Vietman and China. From Facebook -

    Just read a piece in the NYT about the difficult times so many servicemen/women face when returning home//to do our small part all active and former armed service members get 25% off any pack tomorrow, Memorial day, email me for details [email protected]

    skinewmexico posted this today, but he quoted what Chris put on FB yesterday. The sale is today only.

    Class act and a class company. Just another reason to buy cottage gear. Thanks, Chris!

    Good for them and I'm tempted to use the discount but the wife might kill me and the other 3 packs would be jealous. Thanks chriss for supporting those of us in the military.

    This old vet just ordered his Circuit from Chris. A very generous gesture of appreciation from ULA. I'll send business their way any chance I get.

    What a wonderful offer Chris put forward. I am actually kind of glad I didn't read this thread until today. I am a vet and looking for a new pack but don't fall into the "difficult times" camp.

    I'm sure they'd let you pay full price.

    You may be right. In 26 years she has never discouraged any hiking but then again I try not to push my luck.

    I was unaware of the sale; really don't have any current needs but this will be a go to place for future gear needs.

    Thanks for thinking of us.

    Thank you all for your service. Also ULA is a great company. I have been buying with them since Brian owned it. Great gear that I still use today!
