The Precip line is aging, if not done, and a lot of vendors are remaindering what they've got out of their stores. I finally got my jacket for about $60 recently, and got the pants last winter for near the same.

LOVE 'EM!

What is taking their place?

Note the restricted sizes on this sale, however.

Try eBay, REI (and their Outlet), and the web in general.

They ran the full zips last week for $18.75...lasted about 5 minutes...I picked up a pair.....I couldnt beat under $20 for full zip precip pants...I dont think Ebay can TOUCH that...jacket I got for under $60..at campmor I think.

I just figured everyone here basically raves about this raingear...so i'd post it...its gone now....told you you had to act FAST ;-)

Great deals on that site, but you have to watch all day and keep refreshing..I got a shovel probe combo for backcourntry skiing.....under $20 as well...BCA..so..

They basically develop a "new and improved" line every 12-18 months and the retailers dump the old stock...I was able to get a jacket last year at Mountain Gear for $59...it works just as well as the "new and improved" version!

REI just had a Precip jacket on sale (a "special buy") last weekend. Precip pants may also have been on sale. Dunno--they might still be on sale.

They just switched to a butane canister-mounted lantern made by Northern Lights. 15 bucks. I don't know how reliable these are compared to normal lanterns or the Brunton Lucy, the other small canister lantern I know of on the market, but I bought one anyway.

What a great site though! Thanks for bringing it to this newbie's attention!

Oh sorry I just assumed everyone here knew about it....they will change the item once they have sold out of what up....mostly outdoor gear...i've bought a few items very recently from that site...all told..it is really backcountry.com just using a different name to get rid of overstock items i'd suppose..either way...TERRIFIC CUSTOMER SERVICE and greeat prices.

Enjoy

OK. Might have been an in-store only or Labor Day weekend sale. (I visited the store last Thurs.) Or maybe just an aging memory. I know full zips were on sale a month or so ago, but that won't help the OP...

The "special purchase" jacket is currently listed on the web site.
