The thrift store near my house had a sale on wilderness gear last week, which meant lots and lots of racks of outdoor gear and backpacks on sale.
I found an REI rain jacket for $30 which is regularly about $110 brand new. 
I also found a black Marmot puffy jacket for $30 which is regularly $200 brand new in the stores.
And I found an REI fleece jacket on sale that I couldn’t resist.
I wondered if there was something wrong with these items, like a hole in the lining or pockets, but they are all in perfect condition.
I was so excited to come home with an armload full of deals!
Terri's Notebook 
Terri – good finds! The Marmot jacket seems like it is timeless – and in a way some of the other ones are too –
Thank you and great point! You’re right, I think I will be able to wear these jackets for many years. The other REI and Marmot gear in my closet I’ve had for over 15 years.
Yes – some of this stuff just lasts and lasts! Enjoy your treasures
