REI Clearance - sweet tent

[spikemd]

REI is still having their super clearance sale in the stores where everything ending in '.83' is an additional 50% off.

I was there yesterday and found a Mountain Hardware Casa 6 tent for $149!! Its $400 retail and 'on sale' at a few internet sites for $330. I also picked up the footprint for $20, reg $60. This deal was not on the website and I found it in the Sacramento Arden Fair REI. There were a few left as of yesterday...

Since my family is growing, I needed a bigger tent and this one is sweet. Good size, reasonably lightweight, waterproof and Mountain Hardware quality, and great reviews.

Times 2 on this. Got mine at the Portland area Tanasbourne store a couple weeks ago. A very nice tent, and amazingly easy to pitch for something so big. A pretty sensible thing to take along with a SUV camper to provide changing room, cooking space, etc.

I would love one of these for when I bring the whole fam. Our kelty we have is a pain to set up, this one looks like it would set up much easier.

I wish I could get the deal online. No REI's near me. I think the closest one is 2hrs away in Fresno.

Yeah, you gotta keep your eye on REI, I scored a new $320 Kelty Carport at the members-only gear sale for $80!

Thanks for the heads up on this. Neither of my local REI's had the tent, but thier customer service was able to give me the phone number of a few out of state that had them. i called Arcadia last night and got one of the last ones with a footprint shipped to me for an extra $10. $149 for the tent, $20 for the footprint and $10 for shipping= no longer using 4 year old Walmart family tent.
Here are a few phone numbers and stores that had them as of yesterday.
Arcadia 626-447-1062 had 7
REdmond 425-882-1158 had 5
College Park(maryland?) had 12
Tualatin had 7
Hillsboro had 4

Thanks Lance!!!!!!

The REI near me does not have any tents on sale. Does anyone know what other styles they have on sale? I have a really nice 8 man expedition style dome tent from Cabelas and am looking for a smaller 3-4 man lightweight tent to go on the back of my motorcycle.

Thanks,

Kevin

You might Google search for the Sierra Designs Sirius 3 tent to see what you think of it and where it is being highly discounted. You may be able get one for under $100. Seems like a fine product for motorcycle camping. Of course, like most "3 man" tents, the three had better be really good friends. Spacious enough for two, though.

I just grabbed one of those closed cell foam 3.5 inch pads for less than $35.
