Does anyone know of any discount stores online that do TNF gear?

I'm after a TNF 'McMurdo' Parka (XL).

I have been googling all night and come up with sweet FA.
Everyone sells at or £10 under MRRP
It would seem TNF have some sort of agreement in place where everyone keep prices similar around £210 ..

any help is appreciated.

thanks.

Hi Chrome

Have you thought about buying from the states and shipping it over????
they seem to be a lot cheaper in the states

£/$ about 1.93 last time i looked

chrome

there's an idea Chief..
will have to give HMCE a call to see what the rate is on clothing..
plus the potential risk of having to pay the dreaded takes away any real advantage..

I have found one place doing them @ $298 (£160 approx) but 160 *the dreaded = £188 + duty potentially.. so a saving of £30 for loads of hassle.. (maybe)

no-one going over to the US over xmas are they??

RAB are far superior if you want a functional down parka.

The states should be the cheapest option, although delivery may be delayed and may be expensive if you get the sizing wrong. I've found some of my TNF stuff to be on the smaller side.

DY04 code gets you 15% off Field and Trek.

Oh, CM40 has got me 25% discount in the past but that code may have expired. Worth a shot anyway.

Hi m8
I shop at a place called Nevisport in Fort William every January when they have a mega sale. Jackets are half price etc. I worked for Outward Bound for three years and could'nt buy cheaper direct from suppliers through OB and they got great deals due to being a well known charity.
So wait till January & check their website
www.nevisport.com
Either that or visit Fort William then.
Hope it helps

DK1: LOL no way Donna..

good idea re: Sonic!!! (just txt'd him on the off chance)

everyone else- thanks loads!!! - Ozzy - love ya dude
I have seen RAB before- but I wanted the hood (got a bald 'swede') plus RAB are VERY pricey (albeit really good quality).

alas- thanks for the heads up re nevisport. althought currently; http://www.nevisport.com/detail.asp?...oductID=271056 £220.

thanks all the same guys!

D.K.1

Is there anywhere inparticular he would have to go to get it, because I know he's in Las Vagas

Alas

Stefan: both those codes have expired mate. DY04 seems to do nowt even though it was 'accepted'- But thanks anyway.

Alas- noted mate- fort william is a 390 mile drive away!!! thats one way! LOL damn damn damn...

DK1- sonic said he will keep his eyes peeled when he is shopping

D.K.1

He's a good boy, he will do what he can, he probably will find it for you

ozzy

Ah, bo!!ocks. Sorry m8. Try EV81. That's a 10% discount code on one of the flyers I received in the post the other week.

The codes used to last ages, but I think they changed things recently as loads of folk were making them available on other forums Pity coz I was saving a fortune with all the kit I usually buy

I've bought all my RAB gear from http://www.upandunder.co.uk/ Worth having a sniff around their site for the TNF jacket as they sell anything to do with outdoors and were the cheapest place I could find (excluding when those F&T codes worked).

BTW, RAB do jackets with hoods although they are damn expensive - http://www.rab.uk.com/. They are THE best, but since most folk don't climb Everest or got to the Poles, it may not be worth it for the UK weather unless you're a serious outdoor type

That's an excellent link mate!
Will bookmark it and compare to *sonic*'s 'on the ground' prices at the weekend..

chrome

stefan: yup thats the same as the FQ62 discount already applied to the mcMurdo there.. its £199 ah well..

Dr Nick

Morning,

Don't know if this US outlet sells the sort if stuff you want

http://www.eaglesportscenter.com

Frankly I didn't know it was cool to wear parkas any more. Is this for a train spotting expedition perchance

Anyhoo, I ordered some Sorel cold weather boots from them a couple of weeks ago and they were here in 2 working days. I couldn't ****ing believe it.

They will deliver to your place of work and answer e-mail questions very quickly.

Cheers!

PSML Nick
afaik, parkas are quite in - but tbh i'm sick of being freezing.. and with my bonce getting balder each year, it's time for some built in noggin protection (nice furry warm hood- almost like having hair again!!)

I have bought cheaper 'technical' jackets before.. some dont last more than a couple of winters.. although my fave just plain no longer fits me anymore.
cheers for the link.
I will have a look.

Ultimate Outdoors have them for £209. I was in their Skipton store last week looking at the very same parka, toasty

I got a Schott parka three winters ago and it is the best ever coat I've owned, it's waterproof, breathable, got a massive fake fur lined hood and is really toasty, I look forward to winter just so that I can wear it

Just bought one for my wife's birthday £199 post free from http://www.outside.co.uk/That was the cheapest I could find in the UK.

chrome

btw, thanks for your help everybody

My man in vegas is probably my best bet right now...

btw- I found this great site that helps identify fake TNF goods on ebay!

(the one I was looking at on ebay last night appears to be fake as the seller declined to give me an ID number, or close up photos...)

*Sonic*

Hi Mate

Im back home now, sorry I couldnt find any, and text wasnt working, would only send them every once in a while, damn pain in the *** !!

chrome

thanks anyway

I use www.gear-zone.co.uk - they are selling it for £198 - best I have found in the Uk. As you say to buy in the USA is better but to just save £20-25 it seems pointless.

RRH

I got mine from Blacks- paid £210 but had the luxury of trying it on just to make sure it was far too big (daft bsatard I am) but it is lovely and warm.

Speaking of Rab I'm a massive fan of theirs also but many of their jackets are a bit too 'bubbly' if you know what I mean. In fact I'm actually wearing a Rab berber fleece at the moment and its keeping me nice and warm. I am in the office with the heater on though

chrome

dtrigss- well the saving would have been nearer £60

rrh- I know what you mean.. I tried on a Rab Summit jacket.. which looked really 'bubbly' but was amazed how light it was.. shame about the colour scheme
