      You might get a shock when you wear these.

      Paragon87 on 13/07/2013 - 21:53

      No. Was the same price instore.

      Its very light and surprisingly comfortable for the warmth it gives you.

        What about the printed grid pattern on the material? How does that look?

        It's alright. Personal preference I guess. The Altica fabric actually feels pretty nice for polyester

      too much or not enough?

      polar fleece clothing is usually 100% polyester :)

  I can't say a RRP of $150 is even close to reasonable for a plastic jacket =.= Kathmandu are the masters of inflated RRPs.

    Pretty much. I used to buy them way back when they were just becoming popular, but after discovering the huge range available from the US it seems so crazy over-priced. My last down jacket cost me $50 from Lands'End and its way nicer than my old Kathmandu one. Merino stuff I buy IceBreaker from NZ stores like Outdoorsportz.co.nz

      Hi yanman, would you mind sharing which US stores you normally go shop your gears from? Cheer…

        I buy most of my gear from either Backcountry.com or Sunnysports.com, sometimes Moontrail.com. A lot of big named brands won't ship to Australia though so you might need to go through a shipping agent but even with the shipping, a lot of high end stuff still works out to be hundreds of dollars cheaper than here.

        Sierra Trading Post, Backcountry, RIE.. just use google product search and you'll come across a lot. Those ones are good for brand names.. Lands'End sell their own stuff which is damn good too.

        don't forget LL Bean - btw it's REI not RIE :)

    Don't knock "plastic". Polyester is excellent for sports gear.
    The days of polar explorers wearing wool are long gone - its all synthetic now.
    Down is still lighter, unless there is any chance of getting it wet.

      The natural fibres are still preferred for inner layers, synthetic is for outer. E.g. wool/cotton is good as a thermal layer, then insulation (fleece, down) and then wind/waterproofing. I consider jackets in this deal are somewhere in layer 2-3 zone for hiking in cool dry weather or jogging with a cotton t-shirt on.

        natural fibres are still preferred for inner layers,

        In the city, yes, but Kathmandu is supposed to be an outdoors adventure shop.
        Cotton is horrible when wet - be it rain or sweat. Wool better, but i still don't want it on my skin.

        patagonia capilene is best :)

    They have 50% sales on that often that I can't imagine ever buying close to RRP for any of their gear. I do like a lot of what they stock, but would never buy it outside of a sale.

  Title of the post is incorrect, there are no womens jackets for $29.95.

  Cheapest womens jacket is "Rios Jacket Women $39.98"

  As per the text of the post, $29.95 gets you a womens hoody (the hood of which will make you look like the grim reaper according to the photos).

  Is there a way around the $10 shipping?

  • 

    bargainerftw on 14/07/2013 - 10:09

    ya the $30 was cheap I was going to buy it then saw the $10 shipping :(

    I'm too much of a cheapo for this.

  is this men's jacket better, or the fila fleece for $25? Thoughts?

  Kathmando do seems to have been studying the Dick Smith tactic of 'bait and switch' sales of non existent stock. Nice one..NOT!!

  Shame about the chest panels in the Men's jacket. For women I can understand but on men's jackets just looks cluttered/less classy.
