[Closed] PSA; Rab stuff half price

GO outdoors had some Rab stuff on special offer even cheaper. Latok jacket for £115 but only in one colour.

Go Outdoors are quick to advertise a desirable garment at a very reasonable price, but when you do an online query you discover that they only have the jacket in cerise for click and collect in Croydon.

In size xxxs

and they are ****ing useless at getting stock in. The Manchester Ancoats branch of GoOutdoors need a real shake up- a new manager or sack all the staff and start again. They are ok as long as you don't ask a complicated question (anything over can I pay for this, or where would I find the tents).

Are sportpursuit any good?
Is this one of those things where you chip in and then they get the stuff when enough people have committed?

At the moment it's annoying me that you can't even look at the site without registering.

Thankfully nothing that I actually want 🙂

Just ordered a fleece and a jacket.

Strange, the jacket says its a "Mens Cohort Jacket (Cayenne)" but I can't find anywhere on the whole tinternet that has this jacket?
There's a womens one available, but the Cayenne is a mens colour.

Hmm, worth a shot as if it is Pertex Shield+ it'll be good for riding, will just see what turns up in October once I've forgotten I ordered it!

Equipe Outdoors at Somercotes if you are near Derbyshire. Open in the afternoons to the public on a weds/thurs last time I went. I've had some great bargains from there. Factory seconds or samples but you'd never know.

MrSalmon - I've always had good experience with SportPursuit, but you have to understand the process. You aren't getting next-day delivery - check to see if you're happy with the estimated despatch date to avoid disappointment.

It's generally all stuff which has been superceded with more recent models, so there is a chance that you could get a better deal somewhere else, but I've always been happy.

Just ordered some SuperNatural merino stuff.

Cheers, Rich

Don't knock Go Outdoors! They were proper helpful when I was looking for a Down type jacket last week, they had a Montane Prism (reccommended on here) & a RAB Alpine Microlight, my budget was £140 but the RAB was £162. The young lass who was doing some pricing up said they did pricematch, like for like & if I found one somewhere else online they'd match it. She even mentioned a company they'd been matching against, so I checked & theirs was £152.99. She double checked & said 'right, our price works out at £136.78'

Happy me!

So she got the price wrong to the detriment of her employer? Like the idiot at JDSports who insisted in giving a tenner change extra until I got his manager who corrected him.

No, but don't let that stop a bit of minimum wage shop worker bashing 🙄

Are we not supposed to paying full RRP +10% biscuit tax for stuff now or is that just cassettes and suspension forks.

got the email this morning and treated myself to a new Softshell 😀 bought a few bits from there and had no issues. Like someone else above says, don't expect your item(s) for a few weeks but if you know this before hand and in no rush then there are some bargains!

I dunno, can't keep up as it seems there's no pleasing most people.

PSA - Cheap as you like, plus cash back, plus anyone got a £5 off voucher?

But what about your LBS?

They're overpriced, rude, and fit forks the wrong way

yeah, but if you take them biscuits that'll fix it, right?

Why should I take them biscuits, they should be giving ME biscuits

Wiggle gives you Harribo at Xmas, and did I mention the cash back?

Did I mention the biscuits?

I don't even HAVE a LBS

Yeah, but I got a £5 off CRC voucher

Err, probably not.
Unless the same lass had input all the prices on the Go Outdoors website as well.
Or maybe these big companies who are taking over the world of retail don't know what theyr'e doing eh?

Just had dispatch email from SP.

Couple of weeks earlier than expected.

Stop bashing Go. They sold me Scarpa Manta's at a super low price because of price matching.

I like Go, got my Rab down coat from there on the price beat.

On a (un)related note, strange how the move of David Hanney from Go Outdoors to Planet X coincided with PX going crap.
