It's hard to think that STP will have a big sale considering they send out a coupon everyday. They will though.

they have a 12 days of Xmas sale each year, number may be wrong. But they pick one specific thing like shoes, or tents or whatever each day. Its pretty cool. Got a pair of Salomons year before last for $40 and a down bag for $125 that I carried my whole thruhike and just recently retired

Just in general (not only around Christmas) I find that the BPL "Gear Deals" thread (http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/forums/display_forum.html?forum=20) is pretty active, a good place to look for gear on sale:

[juma]

hermitshut.com - just snagged a WM ultralight for 10 percent off! you won't beat that anywhere in 2010.

[skinewmexico]

40% off GoLite is pretty tough to beat. You can only use it once, so get all you want the first time thru.

[Elder]

:rolleyes: In defense of all the Mom and Pop shops, the local outfitters etc.
Support your local shops/ Trailside shops.
They are having specials too! :D

[Bags4266]

I was at Costco today and they had some nice base layer top and bottoms, tops had quarter zip. 9 oz bottoms and 9 oz tops. From Paradox. They were $19.00 each

Jackrs r Better will be running sales all through the holiday season. Speer Hammocks also has a sale going on right now as well.

[Ewker]

40% off GoLite is pretty tough to beat. You can only use it once, so get all you want the first time thru.

has anyone tried to us it twice?

I do wish I had ordered one of their silk baselayer shirts with my original order though :(

[wyominglostandfound]

and make sure these super deal giveaways support other countries economies!!!!

[Wags]

and make sure these super deal giveaways support other countries economies!!!!

fwiw, in some circles there no longer is "US economy and other countries economies". there is only a singular global economy. the driving principle of capitalism is freedom to choose who we buy from, and that freedom lends itself to competetive pricing :D

[wyominglostandfound]

that must be why we have somany jobs right now.....
