    This is known as the "Only time it's worth buying from Anaconda".

    Pretty much exactly like Kathmandu, fools shop there without a sale on, its middle-range equip with high-range prices.
    And calling some of Anacondas brand middle-range is even a stretch (the bike gloves I've bought were total crap and the miners light/headlight I bought broke on my first job)

      Any good alternatives/competitors you can point to?

        Any good alternatives/competitors you can point to?

        That depends what you want to buy. We do not have any good wide-range sports/outdoor chains like France's Decathlon in Australia (yet).

        • orktane on 18/05/2012 - 20:51

          Ya, it's a shame especially because I really don't want to import camping stuff from US or Europe.

        If you're in Sydney, 80% of the stores on Bathurst st will offer better quality clothing at similar prices come sale time. Columbia and Patagonia are my personal favourites (especially Patagonia, because they have a genuine commitment to making stuff that lasts [they will actually repair broken stuff, even if out of warranty], and have really admirable ethics to boot), but Paddy Pallin etc are all right too.

        Are they more expensive than Anaconda/Kathmandu? Yes. Is their stuff practically bombproof? Yes. Also, unlike Kathmandu, they make pants small enough to fit me!

        • orktane on 18/05/2012 - 20:52

          Thanks, but I'm based in Perth - though if I happen to come to Sydney I'll certainly have a look.

        • paddy567 on 18/05/2012 - 21:20

          I'm sure you'll find those stores in Perth, too - but I just don't know where they are! They are typically clustered together somewhere in every capital.

          the prices of the stuff in that Patagonia shop is ridiculous! same as what Telios put above about Anacondas, fools shop there without a sale on. you can always find same clothes shoes, or whatever of Patagonia online at a much cheaper price. if you, for whatever reason, dont want to import stuff from US, well, no one can stop you from burning your money.

          dont take it personal.

        Maybe check out www.campsaver.com Although they are in the US they ship free to Australia if you order >$400. Their range is pretty good. You can use the coupon code OUTLET10 to get 10% off.

    • bargaino on 18/05/2012 - 19:27

      Pretty much exactly like Kathmandu,

      By design! Seems they copied the Kathmandu business model lock stock and barrel.
      Like Officeworks from Staples, or Bunnings from Lowes / Home depot.

      there is another time when its worth buying from anaconda > christmas eve and boxing day, they had 50-60% off plus another 10% off for members last year if I remember correctly :P

  • antman75 on 18/05/2012 - 20:07

    Is it 60% off all Tactical Headlamps, Torches, Multi Tools, Knives & Binoculars. Online it looks like selected items. Maybe the store is different.

    For example the Leatherman ALX is still full price @$270

    • Telios on 18/05/2012 - 20:11

      Broski, I will tell you now, if you want to buy anything leatherman, go to Amazon and it will be worth the wait (25 year warranty too!)

      Source: Has bought 3 Leathermans from Amazon

      • Macgyver on 18/05/2012 - 22:36

        I agree with Telios.
        Leatherman from Amazon will be 50% cheaper or more then Australia stores.

      Thats the brand "Tactical"

    Which sleeping bag would be worth buying? Since it's "50% off". Any recommendations?

    • Telios on 19/05/2012 - 08:08

      Which kind of conditions are you hoping to camp in?

      Australian forest regions? (low night temps, not minus usually, damp)
      Tasmanian? (Colder/damper than Aus mainland, South western national parks get VERY cold)
      Desert regions? (high chance of minus overnight)

      They usually have a temperature rating, a material type (poly/down/natural fibre) and then a shape (mummy/tapered/basic or rectangle) with a heavy down mummy bag being the highest rated (coldest temps) and a natural fibre rectangle being the lowest (for music festivals I took something similar).

      Heres a better guide

      • Maestrok on 19/05/2012 - 13:06

        lol. Not really a camper. Its more for a backpacking trip to the US at the end of the year. Something light that'll keep me warm in the cold winter…need something that will last really. I'm a fairly big person too..so size matters haha

        • Telios on 19/05/2012 - 13:47

          Mad, If you're tall / bigger I'd suggest one of these two:

          Above freezing outside
          Below freezing outside

          Both are around $50 also.

          I realise the first link says -2c but because it's not hooded, you will be colder.

          They can both fit people above 200cm height as well.

    I wanna get an air mattress for camping. Those ones that self inflate and have that foam inside. I don't think they are on sale tho :(

  • rdomain on 20/05/2012 - 10:55

    Any suggestions for thermal undergarments? I've been told merino wool is the go. I'll be diving in the glacial waters of Iceland so I want the warmest! I've been eyeing off an aussie mob on ebay who offer money back guarantee so I'm currently leaning towards that. Any suggestions of other places. I don't want to spend a fortune like at Katmandu!

    • walugi on 20/05/2012 - 15:20

      You want the warmest gear at the lowest prices? Not gonna happen.

      Go to a decent store like Patagonia/Kathmandu/Macpac and ask the reps there who actually go camping and know their equipment.

      If you think Kathmandu is a fortune, I think you might have a bad time getting "the warmest"…

      That said, you can probably pick up really warm stuff in Iceland at possible cheaper prices.

      • rdomain on 20/05/2012 - 19:41

        Mmmm ok. Well I'm just wondering how the Kathmandu merino thermals are different to the aussie ones I saw online. A quarter the price but there's usually truth in you get what you pay for.

        I might have a quick search online for Iceland stuff but most things are generally more expensive in Iceland due to the isolation.

        Any thermal suggestions are welcome if there's anyone who knows their stuff.

        • Telios on 20/05/2012 - 21:08

          If you want warm, you need wool thermals.
          Don't let anyone tell you otherwise, especially if you are going to be around water, wool will maintain body heat even when wet (drops after initial wet, then regains).

          I personally can't stand wool in thermals, it makes me itchy (probably a conditioned response from school jumpers heh)

          Gp into a Kathmandu or similar and try some on.

          There won't be much/any difference with the Kathmandu vs eBay except Kathmandu will likely add stupid names to all the products (thermaguard, heatshield, retensionfibre etc etc)

          Just need to know the type of fibre, the type of wool and correct sizing.
