Is there a GTA equivalent to this?

[dekay]

the site also states than you can "shop early" on thursday but doesn't provide much more information. do they require an entrance fee or invite?

Thanks OP. I've been needing a new shell for awhile now.

Damn it. Won't be able to make it this weekend. Hope they'll have another one before Christmas but not likely.

True, but shopping early also means you pay the premium price. For these types of sales, the prices are slashed each day to clear out as much as possible. On the first day, the selection is the best, but the prices are also the highest.

Arceteryx is a very nice brand, i wish we had that kind of sale here.

gheart008,

Thanks for letting me know, I didn't know thats how it worked. I assumed all the sale prices would be the same from begining to end, but the selection would decrease.

I'm also not to sure about whether the thursday sale is public or invite only.

Hmmnnn ... might have to check this out this year. Anyone have comments on the quality of their warehouse sales from previous years?

I suspect it will be decent. For Arcteryx, like many other outdoor companies, the 2010 year is one of updating products. Expect many changes and new things next year. As an example, Petzl it updating the whole Tikka headlamps line.

I went to their sale last year. The sale area was basically a section inside their office/warehouse and a fairly large tent outside. They have a pretty decent selection and it's not just odds and ends. (although there were a few wacky colored items there)

If you've never bought Arcteryx gear before, even at factory prices, you may get a bit of sticker shock. However, it is some quality gear.

Checking this out - I need a new winter ski jacket. Thanks for posting!!

The example sale items look shockingly expensive. Looks like outrageously expensive regular prices knocked down to just expensive. I'd rather shop MEC even at regular prices and not feel like a schmuck buying into a 'fake' sale.
