TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

New Arc'teryx

New gear from super sleek and uber-expensive Canadian brand. Say what you will about Arc'teryx but their build quality (and styling) is unrivalled.

They've finally added down to their range. An ultralight 850 fill with synthetic Coreloft in the hood and shoulders and a heavier and warmer 750 fill version. They've updated to the new Gore Pro fabric throughout their shell range which is apparently now air permeable. The classic Solo and Dually belay jackets are back and updated; 90gsm and 180gsm DWR'd synthetic fills respectively. Finally there's a 60gsm Coreloft hooded jacket at 275 grams. Crazy light!

Sure is. Worth waiting and checking out geartrade.com there are new, new without tags, and used on offer. I think this is the clearing house for end of season gear and customer returns from a few retailers.
