No rain gear rant today, just reporting current upscale pricing. I had to be in Indianapolis today, so I stopped in the REI store to see what I could not afford.  I bright orange sign with the word "CLEARANCE"  caught my attention.  A rack of Arc'Teryk  rain jackets.  No pants, just jackets.  The Beta AR model was marked down from $575 to $401.93.  Apparently 30% off with some slightly faulty math. Nope, did not buy one. MossBack

REI has always been very good at separating fools from their money. Occasionally one can find reasonably priced items there but it's rare. I just go there mostly to look and see what's new and then hop online to find the reasonably priced same item or alternative.
