Back in the day Campmore was my go too. I don't know if they still have great prices though.
They do and offer decent discounts throughout the year. The majority of their business had been catalog business and is now web based.
I actually live between their store and their warehouse, both are about 5 minutes away.
I’ve had numerous friends work there over the years.
Unfortunately, they have all moved on to new jobs, so no more employee discount.
Fun fact, their warehouse is around the corner from Coserv.
I use to love their black/white catalog with hand drawn pics.
That was awesome.
You’re up in Mahwah? I fucking hate route 17. So much. The shoulders, or lack thereof, are crazy. It’s got its own set of rules.
Just south of Mahwah, but in the neighborhood. 17 is a mess.

I purchased a down jacket and was wondering how people wash them? Another purchase I made, due to the recommendation on this thread, was a Patagonia Nano Puff. So far it is awesome!

How to wash a down jacket:
Machine-wash your down jacket on a gentle cycle at 30 degrees °C.
Carefully remove your down jacket and lay flat to dry on a clothing rack.
Put it in the tumble drier on a low heat.
Throw in two to three tennis balls, or Granger's drying balls.
Gently fluff up the down jacket.

You don’t need a special jacket, just take any existing outerwear and put some of these between the garment and your body.

I just bought a second nano puff after wearing mine daily for five years.
I just wash my down jackets on light soil in a front load washer, with whatever natural soap my wife buys, then spin them dry real quick and hang dry the rest of the way.
You only need to be careful if you have treated hydrophobic down.

Thanks! Is a special detergent required? I was always under the assumption that you had to care for down products differently so it looks like, luckily, I was wrong!

Plus it can be served up as dinner so nothing goes to waste!

Thanks! The Nano Puff is great and I am trying to find a Hyper Puff but it looks like Patagonia stopped making them.

My wife just picked me up a KUHL Spyfire. It is the best fitting down jacket I have ever worn. Honesty speak, the price kept me from buying it. But since she bought it I am good with it. Funny I bought her the same jacket last year.

Isn’t that the way of it?

Absolutely.
