I just got off the phone with Chris Lathrop who is the NE sales
representative for Mountain Hardwear.  We can get MH gear at wholesale!

I think we should buy *all* sleeping bags and tents from them.

Chris is sending me a complete catalog and price list.  It should be here
tomorrow.  I asked him for a sample of prices for this discussion:

Light Wedge 2:  Retail: $260  Wholesale: $158
Light Wedge 3:  Retail: $295	Wholesale: $171

It appears that the prices will be approximately 40% off retail, which I
think is an amazing deal.

Go to www.mountainhardwear.com to see their other gear and retail prices.

Maintaining this relationship with them is going to require some restraint
on our part.  It sounds like 2-3 purchases a year will be tolerable.  We
will need to be extremely selective about who can purchase personal gear
with this deal.  They don't mind a small group of the club's leadership
buying personal gear, but if it gets out of hand, they will drop us.

Cheers,
--Tim

I don't know anything about a MIT deal but we certainly don't
have a MITOC deal.

can give more details about membership and the local office if
you want.  The following info came from:

Tim, great work with Mountain Hardware.  I think their 2nd Dimension
synthetic bags would be ideal for the club.  As for tents, we'd again have
the problem with interchangeable parts.  Right now all the EMS tents are
interchangeable, which is nice in case something breaks.  They are also
under lifetime warranty, so if they break we can just get them replaced...
But the MH tents are over a pound lighter, so maybe it is worth considering
them - do you know the details of the warranty?

Anyway, I'd suggest getting a about half a dozen or more 15F sleeping bags
at $105 each from MH ASAP, and maybe a four more Pampero tents from EMS
($169 is a good deal for a heavy duty winter dome tent).  We may consider
buying light three-season tents from MH in the spring.  Also, unless the
regular sleeping bags are 6ft long, I'd just get the long version.  No one
tries out sleeping bags in the office, and if someone who is 6'1" takes a
bag made for a 5'8" by accident, they will not have a good night. 

Anyway, just my 2 cents.

Luke
