Posted: 1/8/2006, 9:24 am Post subject: Steep and Cheap Daily Special |
|
|
|
|
I know some of you know this website already, but at www.steepandcheap.com they have a daily special every day at a pretty nice discount. So if it's hiking related I will try to post them up here daily. They are limited quanties and if it's a really awesome deal they will sell out in a few hours.
Yesterdays was the Marmot Helium speelping back that was about 1/2 off.
Here is todays.
Black Diamond Glissade Glove - Womens $22.31 62% Off, Regularly $59.45
Description:
Quote: |
More than just a sized-down version of a man's glove, the Glissades for women have been perfectly proportioned for a woman's hands. With its 100% waterproof construction and supple feel, the Glissade is THE choice for skiers and boarders who live in mid-temperature climates. Shock-corded gauntlets are easily cinched with one hand, while the leather palm and fingers stay grippy when wet and cold. A non-removable fleece lining provides you with day-long warmth as you play in the backcountry or at your local resort. |

The thing I don't understand about this site, is that you can access the previous items that have been offered, and some don't say sold out, but there's no way to add it to cart. I've even looked at Backcountry.com to see if they are in the outlet. Nope.
I think this guy is an employee of Backcountry. Make ya wonder how he's pulling this all off. |

Good question Tom, I'm not sure how you order it, maybe it is a one day only deal. I don't think it's just an employee of Backcountry, I think the whole thing is operated by Backcoutry. |

DAKINE Vertex Backpack - 1300 cu in $23.44
68% Off, Regularly $74.95
Description:
Quote: |
The DAKINE Vertex Pack is the touring pack of choice for the truly committed skier. A streamlined profile and ski specific design make this a skier's best bud in the backcountry. Diagonal ski carry straps make hiking a pleasure, offsetting your skis diagonally so you aren't kicking them as you boot up the mountain. Stay hydrated by adding a bladder and utilizing the insulated Hydro Sleeve. A zippered tool pocket keeps gear secure, and quick-draw ice axe/shovel handle holsters ensure you've got easy access to tools when you need them. An external shovel blade pocket and load compression straps keep the Vertex tight and light. |

The Nike Timing Ascent Compass Altimeter Watch keeps track of time, altitude, direction, and even gives you a weather forecast for your next ski day.

It tells you how many vertical feet you skied, how many runs you got in, and how much time it took.

the most comfy pack ive used is a Golite Jam- such simple design
3200 cu in, 1 lb 5 oz.
carries 30 lbs
made of same Dyneema Gridstop
had it for over 2 years and still holding up

If you go to www.rei.com then click on REI Outlet, there is usually a deal of the day on the right hand side of the page. |

Black Diamond Patrol Glove $33.74, 60% Off, Regularly $84.45
Quote: |
Created for the unique demands of snow professionals, the Black Diamond Patrol Glove provides maximum freedom of movement for working with tools, straps, ropes, and avy equipment. A supple shell made of Pittards waterproof leather serves up all the dexterity needed in a work glove, while a palm-patch with Kevlar stitching provides unmatched durability. Insulation in the glove is positioned just right so as not to impede mobility and to maximize warmth—5 oz of PrimaLoft lines the back of the hand where blood courses through veins, and insulation is most efficient. A 100% waterproof breathable insert keeps you warm and dry. You'll appreciate a soft microfiber thumb patch that serves as a runny nose wipe. Snow pros the world over will soon have their hands in the totally waterproof Patrol Glove. –Vendor
Bottom Line: Gettin' the job done. |
