Ended up with another brand he recommended which felt just as good - cost $129.99 and when i paid the nice girl at the checkout gave me a voucher for $20 to take off my next purchase. Ticket price was $319 ha ha
Not often does get the down sell treatment (even though he tried the up sell to socks etc).
Hope Kathmandu margins are holding up
A couple of months ago I had to purchase a new rain jacket at the last minute for an impromptu trip to the tongariro crossing. Picked up an NGX jacket at what I thought was a pretty good price at the time but now see it retailing at $150.00! They're also selling their three layer goretex jacket for $450.00 on clearance... I guess they'll be clearing stock before the winter sale.

Jeremy Clarkson was seen wearing a Kathmandu jacket in this weeks re-run of the best of Top Gear, maybe that will help ?

I love great retail sales assistants who are good at up selling.
I had a very pleasant experience at Hallensteins Dressmart Hornby, where the proffessional assistant doubled the value of my purchase,by suggesting I add black dress woollen socks, at $5 a pair to my $10 pollo shirt.I went for them, and brought two pair.!!!.

I once had a pair of socks with a wonderful Teddy Bear pattern on them.
Received them from my daughters one Christmas.
I guess one daughter brought one,while the other daughter brought the other.

So the story here is you don't have to be able to afford the socks - just the children to buy them for you.

If you can afford children they'll pay you sock dividends...
