Hilleberg at Wildearth

[highercountry]

The heading says it all.
I don't know how recently Wildearth started selling Hilleberg gear but they certainly weren't a couple of years ago when I bought my Soulo direct from the States.
Awfully dear but I suppose that's a consequence of the falling dollar.
I paid $560.00 AUD in 2013, now cost $899.00.

Yes i saw they had hilleberg tents and had to look twice. Good if you need one asap. Ive brought heaps off wildearth and found them to be great. I recently brought some pants from them and they were to big. I sent them back offering to pay for the return postage but they said not to worry about it.

I had a look at the cost, just out of curiosity.
Moontrail has them at $665 USD .
Postage for something like that should be about $60 USD.
At today's exchange rate that is $1032, so the $899 from WildEarth is a bargain....

at those prices i reckon i could sell my secondhand Akto at a profit....

I think the Hilleberg bubble just burst.

Sure if you purchased one a few years ago you could sell it for a profit but if you bought one recently from overseas you would be loosing a bit of money if you tried selling it now.

These wild earth prices are fantastic. Ive seen the Soulo selling for over $1200aud equivalent atm in the UK.

I bought an AKTO a couple of years ago on sale in the US (when the exchange was brilliant).

Hilleberg had a price rise and our dollar tanked, last year wasn't a good year to hold off on that purchase . Never mind at least they are a quality bit of gear.

I buy mine from http://www.mountainadventurecentre.com.au they are an aussie mob from Jindabyne NSW and have been quick and easy to deal with. Not affiliated with them in any way except from being a repeat customer
