I've bought from them. Like the others have said, they're good. Do the ship to the US thing though if you can. Huge list of products they won't ship to Canada.

Thanks Rasheed. Looks like that list kills it for me.

Anyone know any canadian sites or others that will ship to canada,specifically for backcountry gear?

You can always get stuff shipped to point roberts and pick it up. TSB shipping charges $5 per package. I scored POC VPD upper body armour for $149 from backcountry this season and shipped it there. They do backcountry branded G3 gear and often sell it 40% off. Nothing like buying products from Denver made by a north vancouver company! Saved me a bundle though.

Jrawk, Tacklebox lives up North so going across the border to pick up won't be an option.

Has anyone used LiveOutThere.com ? Based out of Calgary, I ended up on their email list somehow although I haven't ordered anything from them (maybe when I was shopping for a pack to use bikepacking?)

I've bought a jacket for my wife from thelasthunt.com last spring. It's related to LiveOutThere.com, but felt like the sketchy little brother selling discount merch from a table in the back alley.

I'd never heard of either site before, but the price was better than anything I could find in the US. They have had a retail store in Calgary for a few years, so I went with it. I have no complaints about service or delivery, but can't speak for warranty or returns.

Coincidentally, I met the wife of the owner in central America a few weeks later. I asked her why the last hunt looked so shady, but she said she didn't have anything to do with the business.

Some of those places do freight forwarding, as in get it shipped there and they will ship it to you. Not sure of the cost but it would be worth looking in to.

telemark pyrennes can be pretty cost effective for plastic ski boots

backcountry is huge but then you got the shipping/duty and whatnot
