Campsaver's answer to REI.

Use code SPRING-2947.

Good on regular price items. Excludes MontBell, MSR, Marmot, Rab, Granite Gear, Thermarest, Platypus, Arc'Teryx, Patagonia, Black Diamond.

In other words, most of the brands we'd actually want to buy are not included in the sale?

ha, i would have purchased something from campsaver for the first time (and possibly become a repeat customer) had they not blocked montbell sales with the coupon. oh well, i guess i'll just continue to frequent REI and backcountry.com...

Campsaver is one of the few places that actually had the Exped down mat ULs in stock last time I checked, 20 percent off one of those would be cool for anyone who wants one.

REI has exped's downmat UL. They don't have them on their website, but i know that the denver flagship has them in stock

campsaver also carries salewa footwear with a lot instock

Are you sure it's not Montbell requiring Campsaver to block it?

"REI has exped's downmat UL."

Cool, I'll have to check my local store. I called a few weeks ago and they didn't have it, have only checked the website since. Didn't realize they have stuff in store that's not on the website!

William is correct. I know that MSR, Montbell, and Granite Gear indicates to the vendor when their items can go on sale. It isn't up to Campsaver.

Campsaver is one of the best vendors out there, IMHO.

"In other words, most of the brands we'd actually want to buy are not included in the sale?"

Picked myself up some Inov8 F-Lite 195s to try for $91, which looks like a good deal (comparatively speaking). Guess nobody here likes that brand? Actually you did say "most" brands, so I will agree with you to some extent. Still some good stuff available though.

not sure at all, but i've seen plenty of montbell stuff on sale, so it's not like their stuff is never discounted.

i'm in no hurry, i won't need the item until this summer, so i'll just wait

Picked up a pair of heavenly Give-N-Go boxer briefs, so basically free shipping with the 20% code
