What a classic. This is one of the most popular fleece jackets in the world, period. Here is the bottom line as posted from the Backcountry.com product description: The North Face Denali Jacket is what other fleece jackets aspire to be…enough said. More from Backcountry: Abrasion-resistant supplex nylon at the elbows and upper body blocks wind and increases water resistance. Pit zips help you cool down when life heats up. The Denali jacket is The North Face’s best-selling fleece. Keep in mind this product does run a little bit large.

Suggested Retail Price: $164.95, Discontinued Colors: $123.71

Interesting timing! We just featured RockCreek.com with our last blog entry, and now today we get an email highlighting some incredible final markdowns! Here is the content of this email message:

Good afternoon (at least on the East coast!),

I wanted to send a quick note to let you know that our buyers have at long last released their final markdowns on a whole slew of products. Today we released price changes on hundreds of styles, and they’re priced to move. These will run until they have sold out.

Take a look at what we’re pushing to our e-mail list for ideas: CLICK HERE for killer deals!

It’s a bit cliche, but we literally have to make room in our warehouse. Thanks in part to your work as affiliates, we have experienced tremendous growth and have some really large orders coming in from the big guys like Patagonia, The North Face, Arc’Teryx, Salomon, Montrail, Marmot, etc…

So now’s the time to really promote these sales and keep your eyes open for some exciting new Fall product. As always, contact me any time if I can be of assistance.

Thanks,

Take it from this satisfied customer: “…a stove that cooks your food, boils your water, and packs into the size of a Nalgene. No need for bulky, heavy pots and pans - it’s all built into this sweet little cooking system”. Word on the street is that Jetboil stoves can boil a cup full of water in 30 seconds through a patented Flux Ring that distributes heat evenly.

This system won the Editor’s choice award from Backpacker Magazine, and it’s currently on sale from Backcountry.com in their Semi-Annual Sale (up to 70% off!).

Suggested Retail Price: $79.95, On Sale Price: $62.96
