Went to the sale on Friday night around 6PM. For mens, lots of Theta AR, Sidewinder, and Stingray jackets. I regret not buying a Theta AR because I found out it uses Goretex Pro Shell, which apparently is a very durable waterproof layer and is Goretex's most expensive and innovative system. I didn't buy it because the smallest they had was Large and it fitted very loose. Its odd since I'm a big guy and I buy t-shirts in XL.

I ended up buying the last Alpha SL jacket instead. Its more supple and lighter, but its made with Goretex Paclite which is supposed to be less durable. Its also made in China, versus the Theta AR which is made in Canada. At least it fits better, its sized XL but is a lot slimmer fitting than the Theta AR Large for some reason.
