Columbia gear and discount store

[pr3dict]

Hey Im starting up skiing this winter and I need to get some gear. Has anyone ever used columbias friends and family store? http://www.columbia.com/on/demandware.store/Sites-Columbia_US-Site/default/FriendsFamily-Start

I saw a post about it on a blog my wife follows saying they have great discounts.

How is there gear and if the discount is amazing as they say is it worth it to get the stuff?

Marshalls and TJ Maxx often carry Columbia gear this time of year. Prices are likely better and you don't have to do all your shopping in one day.

ahh, I never really like shopping at marshalls. The girl loves shopping there but I always felt like I was getting last years stuff or there was something wrong with it... overall though Columbia is good? My wife sent me this, this morning, http://coloradomountainmom.com/2012/11/egifter-social-gifting-site-columbia-sportswear-offer/

If you all think Columbia is good I might give it a try.

Like every brand they have great stuff and not so great stuff, I like to review it on my mobile phone when I'm in a store shopping.

I don't wear it but there is plenty of it out there on the mountains I'm skiing. I bounce around to different stores chasing bargains so can't really relate to a one-stop, one-day shopping spree.

Currently:
Spyder jacket - Dick's Sporting Goods
Marmot pants - TJ Maxx
Spyder gloves - Marshalls
Layer 8 base layers - Marshalls/TJ Maxx
SmartWool socks - online
GIRO helmet - online
Oakley goggles - online

Ok guys I went ahead and pulled the trigger and I gotta say the store is amazing. I also found another post for it on http://slickdeals.net/f/5485396-Columbia-Sportswear-Friends-Family-Discount-50-off-w-50-Gift-Card ... Everything in their store has crazy discounts. I just stocked up, except for goggles, a friend of mine said he had a pair for me. But everything else I just got. I recommend checking it out. You have to use some gifting app but It worked flawlessly. Thanks again for all the help guys, hopefully I dont fall on my *** this winter haha.
