I don't work for Moontrail (I own www.puresilversound.com), but I buy a lot of gear from them, so I thought I would pass this on to the group. The UL SS #5 is $244, BUT you get 38 "Bonus" points which can be equal to up to $80 in free gear, like a new pair of MSR trekking poles for free, plus free ground shipping. I have never had a problem returning or exchanging gear either.
