    I find the lack of other Vader colours disturbing.

    delivery is $40 to Geelong, only good for pickups!

    • easternculture on 04/07/2013 - 13:53

      If you add another jacket, apparently shipping goes down to $9 via Courier Please

      • iSamurai on 04/07/2013 - 14:05

        $40 delivery to Brisbane O_O no pick up around either. Good deal though. Looks like you have to add something that's not marked down to $19-$20.

          The trick is to add 2 jackets and then calculate shipping. That will get you the Couriers please option. Then remove one item from the cart and the shipping will go down to $5.49

          The above method was tested for Sydney

        • iSamurai on 04/07/2013 - 20:12

          Tried this but for some reason I can only get Standard Delivery Service :( no courier option. thanks for the tip though.

  • carpecrash on 04/07/2013 - 13:52

    So these jackets are available for these prices instore too?

    • easternculture on 04/07/2013 - 13:53

      yes, plus you can buy online and pickup in store

      • carpecrash on 04/07/2013 - 13:56

      Yes I bought the ladies jacket this morning at the Camperdown store. $18. There is a separate posting I did for that. I spent about $107 for 2 pairs Columbia hiking shoes and 3 different jackets for a total RRP of over $850. Not that I or anyone should ever pay full price (RRP) at a camping store.

    • flybuy on 05/07/2013 - 22:41

      I don't think it is available online anymore. Most online orders are being cancelled.

    target are flogging off $4 raincoats http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/102875 . while they won't be as durable as these jackets, they are good for packing away for in your bag for rainy days.

  • upsidedown on 04/07/2013 - 14:01

    I posted the ladies jacket deal already on this site. I don't have time to post but the hiking shoes are also especially cheap. Especially the ladies shoes. Worth checking out. I got two pairs of Columbias for $28 dollars each at the Camperdown Sydney store this morning.

    • dorothi_toto on 04/07/2013 - 15:17

      hi jane can you tell me what the sizing's like for ladies?

      • upsidedown on 04/07/2013 - 21:48
        +1

        I only just got home but I can suggest a size larger for the rain jacket and with the hiking boots you can go down a bit. I bought a size up on the jacket and I bought a 9 and a 10 in the columbias. Strange but with the womens jacket go a little bigger if you can.

  • nubzy on 04/07/2013 - 14:08

    Are these actually good quality?? might check them out in store

    • upsidedown on 04/07/2013 - 14:51

      I can't vouch for my OEX ladies jacket out in the elements, as I only bought it this morning but it ticks all the boxes for me. Waterproof, breathable, lightweight and sealed seams. If anything it impressed me more when I saw it in the store than the picture and details on the website.

  • ENSLAVER on 04/07/2013 - 14:17

    $40 delivery to country vic, chose pickup but all the stores said insufficient stock =\

    • dtc on 04/07/2013 - 15:39

      You could always drop by Aldi and see if there are any leftovers from their ski sale. There was some stuff in Canberra last week still floating around.

      Rays has some pretty reasonable deals on the shimano raider rods and shimano baitcasters (cheaper than anywhere else on line) if anyone is looking for those

  • digitale on 04/07/2013 - 14:59

    Will these keep you warm as well in winter (i.e. no need for a sweater underneath)?

    • zhenjie on 04/07/2013 - 15:03

      They look like shells with no insulation (most rain jackets are for breathability)

    • Psychd on 04/07/2013 - 15:04

      Depends what you get. Many are just outershells, so need a polo probably. Depends if your winter is 10 degrees or -5.

    I'm a few blocks away from the Melbourne store, tempted to duck up there quickly if it's worthwhile.

    • cheepwun on 04/07/2013 - 15:47

      Maribyrnong store has only 3 or 4 of the styles available on the website. Several units of each style visible. Store didn't get around to pricing them $19 yet, so you have to ask if you don't make note of which one you're after.

      Hope that helps.

    I don't know whether to get this. I went instore but nothing there to try on. The types they did have where very thin. If you buy online, rays don't allow you to return the jacket if you change your mind.

      Original RRP is always pulled out of one's posterior, whether shopping Amazon, Ray's or Coles & Woolies or countless other stores. It can safely be laughed at.

    • jenna12 on 04/07/2013 - 16:47

      I'd assume (hope) that rain jackets at this price are designed slightly bigger than a shirt of the same size, as they have to fit over whatever you're already wearing. I'm a small for most tees and Ben Sherman/YD long sleeved shirts, so I grabbed a small rain jacket. But who knows… shrugs

    • annoynimous on 04/07/2013 - 18:56

      Just got back from Camperdown store. Plenty of stock still there. Got a couple of the Vader jackets $19. I am borderline L/ XL and the XL fit me well (they are outer shells, so need space for underlayers). Wife got 2 Asha jackets and slightly smaller sizing was OK for her. There is some Columbia jackets there too for $30-40. Cheap womens hiking shoes too ($19, down from $149). Also some $5 King Gee drill pants/ shorts (larger sizes). Awesome prices. Thanks OP.

  • Flyerone on 04/07/2013 - 17:00

    Just got back from Rays at Castle Hill, picked up a Columbia Raintech with the new fancy thermo lining for $27.10 after VIP discount. Some good stuff still left at the CH store.

  • natsumezoku on 04/07/2013 - 17:04

    Just got my order through a few minutes ago so while checkout is slow it's still working.

    Also there seems to be an extra 6.5% discount on the store for 'vip members' which I think you just have to sign up for when making an account (and claims to be free). May have to sign up for an account before putting an order through though.

  • herbo on 04/07/2013 - 17:39

    I tried some outdoor expedition gear on for size at the local rays and I'll add here that in my opinion the sizes run a little large. I'm usually medium but a small was what fit.

    They didn't have any of the $19 stuff in store, they told me that this is last seasons. The stuff I tried for size was current season but I would assume sizing would be the same.

  • watty on 04/07/2013 - 18:11

    40 dollar shipping is solid, the trick probably was fixed. Hope someone can correct me :S

    • danyool on 04/07/2013 - 19:43

      • watty on 04/07/2013 - 19:57

        Well i tried it at 5:30 ish, the 40 dollars kept coming back so I gave up after 30 minutes of trying. Came back at 7 ish and tried again and bam it worked, like the op posted, place 2 random jackets, take one out and it comes down. I purchased 3 jackets for the family and it came to 10ish courier shipping which was alright i guess. Just remember to use two different types of jackets and try it a few times, try quantity of 1, 2 and 3 and hope for the best! :)

    My tip, get the size you normally buy

  • brokenxsmile on 04/07/2013 - 19:04

    Just went to the Balcatta store in WA (reasonable amount of stock, could see quite a few things from the website). My partner got this: http://www.raysoutdoors.com.au/online-store/products/Outdoor… and I picked up some ski pants for the same price.

    Thanks for the post!

  • shalashaska on 04/07/2013 - 19:36

    The checkout is the same system that BCF use and I have noticed you can fiddle with the shipping charges on the BCF website too (getting it from 40 dollars down to 4 dollars).

    The trick with the BCF website is to buy through an account. Log in, and instead of going to "calculate delivery charge" change the address in the prefilled area. I have found that sometimes I have to throw in another address to get the $ value to change (i.e changing address from QLD to NSW), but it doesn't recalculate back to $40 when you re-enter your proper address.

    Hope this helps, I'm trying to test it but checkout is slow.

  • cheepwun on 04/07/2013 - 19:56

    Sizing.

    I found the XL 'Vader' jacket fits me fine with a couple of shirts underneath it. It's not super-huge at all - like some XL items can be - unless I am? :)

    Just fits me comfortably; easy and comfortable arm movement without making the seams of the jacket burst. Plus some extra space for you to put on something thicker under the jacket too.

    If you are a fully-grown normal-sized male who is reasonably (but not excessively) tall and of average weight, I'd say the XL size is the go. Of course you should try it out in a store first if you're not sure. XL size isn't anything super-huge, in my opinion.

    :)

  • Mister Plod on 04/07/2013 - 20:00

    Ok, after fiddling around and trying the various 'tricks' here to no avail…
    Made an account, added stuff to cart, only shipping option is "Standard Delivery Service", pressed continue checkout, now showing as $10 shipping to Adelaide. What a clusterfudge of a website/checkout system :|

  • ironworthy on 04/07/2013 - 20:01

    for those whove seen the vader jacket in store, is the flap on the same side as in the picture?

    • cheepwun on 04/07/2013 - 20:46
      +1

      Flap that covers the zip closes from the wearer's right side towrds the left side in both black & lime versions of the jacket.

      It is fastened with 5 rectangles of velcro from top to bottom.

      Regarding the black jacket; those reinforced bits at the shoulders and sleeves show up a browny colour on my monitor. It is in fact dark black of the same colour but a slightly different texture to the rest of the jacket. No big difference.

      The triangular design motif around the breast pocket is actually just a shiny black rather than the vivid or contrasty triangle as shown on the website. It seems to show it at a reflective angle on the website when it's in fact more understated at most angles. It's much darker black that blends in with the jacket's colour far more closely. The brand is barely noticeable, which I personally like. That triangular motif is barely noticeable, just as I like it too.

      Hood is removable and adjustable with string for a tighter fit. As is the bottom of the jacket and of course the sleeves are fastened with velcro to keep air out.

      • iSamurai on 04/07/2013 - 21:03

        I think he was asking because in that picture, flap opening on that side is for women's clothing whereas for men it's the opposite. In this case it's the reverse but the description says it's for men.
