Major Gear Score...

[Venchka]

So I walked into a ski shop today. A ski shop at a ski resort. Yep, one of those places that everyone knows is mega expensive. They could not possibly have anything for backpacking. Right?
Wrong.
Too expensive.
Right?
Wrong.
Walked out with...
Marmot Minimalist Jacket
Marmot Guide Down Vest
2 Helly-Hansen long sleeve base layer shirts.
Grand Total = Less than the list price of the jacket.
And I knocked at least a pound off of my current vest and G-T parka.

Sweet. Never can te where the bargains can be found

The real miracle: there was 1 vest and 1 jacket in my sizes that worked together. Usually these off season sales don't have my sizes. The shirts were a bonus.
