Even with high end backpacking gear there is always a sale at some point. But clothing is seasonal, so it will come down. I bought a $400 down coat last year for $140 in the spring. The same model is $400 again. Well at least this years model. They changed the zipper pulls and added new color options, so that warrants this years seasonal price
