Hi folks,
Im wondering if any of you have experience with their gear. They are advertising 800 fill down jackets at $99
Ive seen some of their other gear that seems over priced a bit on the flip side, so wondering about the quality etc/
Thank you

This company was formerly known as Golite, they made quality gear, have not purchased any of their gear under their new name.

All the low end down jackets are about the same -- you can see comparable jackets on Sierra Trading Post for ~$80 or even less with some of their email deal flyer coupons. Sewn through instead of baffled, maybe good to freezing temps, packable. Maybe 1/2 - 1 inch of loft or so.

Basin and Range is Backcountry.com's in-house label. Just as REI makes its own, lower priced label to compete with name-brand labels, this is Backcountry.com's go at it. Never tried anything of the label, but most likely of decent quality - judging solely by the store's reputation and service overall. And in case it was not clear, Steep and Cheap is Backcountry.com's online outlet website.

I just bought the EMS Feather Pack Jacket at the store. I had a 20% coupon, and the jacket had been reduced to $79, so I walked out of there having paid $62 for a $200 jacket. It looks well made, and only weighs 13 ounces. Hard to beat that deal.
