          Yes, I know it's the traditional women's side; I don't know why people get touchy on this though. A jacket is a jacket and can be worn by either sex, regardless of marketing. As long as it fits you (and you like it), that's all that matters.

          I'd love to know how these male & female traditions came about and who drilled them into us first.

        • daydream on 04/07/2013 - 21:37

          I did notice on the womens jacket they had some panels in the chest area sewn in. I was tempted to get one of the larger women's sizes for a man but that detailing made it look a bit sus.

        • Speckled Jim on 05/07/2013 - 10:10

          I believe it goes back to a military thing; sword held in the right hand?
          QI mentioned it in an early series.

          I always thought the opposite button thing was because men most often dressed themselves, while women were dressed by someone else, so the buttons were for them to do up.

  • JeddyH on 04/07/2013 - 20:35

    Remember to sign up to the VIP club, it gets 6.5% off the order, my order came to $23.25 delivered in Melbourne.

    Ok checked out the Nunawading VIC store. RRP price is ridiculous. Given Aldi has rain jackets (waterproof rating 3000) for $14.00 this week I think the retail price for these should be $30 - 40. Personally wouldn't pay shipping on top for these - Was glad to see them in person and try them on. I chose not to get one in the end.

    Keep in mind a jacket like this has has a 2000 Waterproof 800 Breathable Rating. What does that mean? Well as they state "Withstands light precipitation" Don't be fooled by an impressive sounding number or the word waterproof for the rating! Also that jacket can't stow the hood for some reason (d'oh). The similar women's one can. I thought the women's designs were better in general.

    Interestingly it appeared online orders are filled by the stores. I was talking to a staff member picking jackets off the rack in front of me (no doubt to fill OzB orders). There wasn't much stock of each one to begin with. I wouldn't be surprised if it was cleared out tonight. If they take orders without keeping separate stock then it looks to me like they'd have to subsequently cancel orders they can't fill, disappointingly customers. I wouldn't be too disappointed missing out though ;-)

    • [Deactivated] on 04/07/2013 - 20:44

      Yeah I reckon the jacket you linked to isn't that flash when it comes to water-resistance but the Vader is heaps higher at 8000 I think? That's much better imo.

    • cheepwun on 04/07/2013 - 20:53

      Several of the designs I've seen from this posting are indeed cheap & nasty, but the Vader is good (better) value and definitely worth $19.

      The RRP is indeed the Ridiculous Retail Price. The Vader jacket I picked up had a price sticker for $179.99 (a discount over the $249.99 printed on the label! Next to the Australian price was printed the NZ price of $299.99. Ho, ho, ho!)

      I'm sorry for anyone that paid this much for the jacket; it's clear they have more dollars than sense.
      ;)

    • saverman on 05/07/2013 - 07:57

      Thanks for the mention of the waterproofing numbers. I'd have bought the 2000 rated one, thinking it was alright, if it weren't for your post (and Ray's poor checkout process which had me stalling for hours).

      Ended up getting the Outdoor Expedition Ultimate Jacket for $23.25. Should do the job…

  • [Deactivated] on 04/07/2013 - 20:38

    Oh man. This website is in Struggletown. I gave up on the shipping dealio and hubby is just going to pick them up tomorrow arvo. We have been in the market for a waterproof jacket and this did the trick. OP you're a legend, thank you.

  • sp3tsnaz on 04/07/2013 - 21:14

    Now that the Vader jackets seem to be sold out on the site anyone know if these are of a similar quality?

    http://www.raysoutdoors.com.au/online-store/products/Outdoor…

    Seems like the next best option?

    • ironworthy on 04/07/2013 - 21:18

      It's still there but only in the lime colour. Which isn't too bad imo.

      • [Deactivated] on 04/07/2013 - 21:22

        Hm. The 2XL black Vader is still there when I look for it, but maybe that's because it's there in my local store? That's Fyshwick, ACT.

      • sp3tsnaz on 04/07/2013 - 21:22

        Oh didn't see the other colour… yeah I don't think I'd wear that one though :P

        Hmmm… wonder what the others are like.

        And yeah, size wise I need a med/large

    I was the one who first posted about the rain jackets and I have my really amazing rain jacket right here beside me and I think its a great purchase for $18. Don't over analyse such a good bargain. I'm off to Fraser Island next week with my better than better $18 rain jacket and my $28 Columbia hiking shoes. Don't over think it. Might as well stay home and believe the fish won't be biting.

    • oz-dxer on 04/07/2013 - 22:21

    • jakentta on 05/07/2013 - 09:05

      I visited their Shepparton store last night and there seemed to be heaps of stuff available. Was really after the Vader jacket, but didn't know how to recognize it there! And they were just about to close, so didn't have time to ask or look around much. Anyway they seemed to have several sizes of each item still on the racks. I just hope they will still be there when I get there at lunch time today.

  • szabby on 04/07/2013 - 23:25

    What a terrible website, Have had problems since the afternoon when I first tried to order. Its even worse now. Very poor online shopping site. Im giving ordering.

    I bought the Wild Country Storm Shield Jacket from Rays just over a month ago when I thought it was a bargain at $50.

    Good quality jacket, keeps the wind out, light weight, water resistant and keeps the water out in light rain (it's not water-proof so not sure how long it'll keep the water out in a downpour). It has a nice soft lining in the chest area, but none in the arms. You'd still need a jumper or decent base layer underneath to keep you warm.

    I'm 6'2" with long arms, broad shoulders, athletic build, and have a hard time finding anything that fits. This jacket in XL fits perfectly for me.

    I've seen the quality of the Outdoor Expedition Vader and I'd say it's much nicer than the Wild Country. And definitely more water resistant if that's what you're looking for. At these prices they're worth every cent.

  • lostn on 05/07/2013 - 02:43

    Are all of these jackets RRP $250?

    • JohnHowardsEyebrows on 05/07/2013 - 13:18

      The Outdoor Expeditions Vaders are, but most of their clearance jackets are not.

    I put in for pick up at my local store & received a pick up ready advise saying to pick it up at Melbourne city store.Called them and they said the local store had no stock left and Melbourne city was the next closest, As I explained that that it is an hours drive each way they said they would post it out free of charge. Good service Ray's.

  • JohnHowardsEyebrows on 05/07/2013 - 12:55

    Picked up a couple of lime jackets in Melbourne City, $19 each. Think there may be a few left. No blacks left. Otherwise a few other (cheaper) varieties available.

    Even if the colour is a bit loud, you're only going to wear it when outdoors/at the footy etc.

    Great deal OP.

    I received a voice mail from them on Friday arvo saying it was an error that it ended up on the site, and that it was meant to be clearance only instore. But they are pooling resources together and I will get mine soon, two jackets I ordered, from two stores.

    Guess I was lucky and was one of the first to order.

    Placed order 20 minutes after the ozbargain post on Thursday. Haven't heard anything yet as of today.

    They will be sending out 600+ cancellation emails today

    • [Deactivated] on 08/07/2013 - 15:21

      credit voucher sounds more like a scam, so we spent $25 for a fake bargain online and have to spend the $25 credit on other products who are not on sale. Seems like a waste of money, truly not a bargain AT ALL.

      • andy19363 on 08/07/2013 - 18:55

        no…. they have to give a refund…. the voucher is likely a goodwill gesture

      Stock in your hand always trumps virtual stock ;-)

      Even if they published this by mistake (Hmmm…) online their stock level figure should still have stopped orders automatically after reaching the limit. Their fulfillment processes are stuffed if they have to do so many refunds.

Excellent service, all jackets sold so was told to keep the marked jacket and a credit note will be issued for the purchase. More than happy.

      I wouldn't rely on the early bird theory, no guarantee they will do first in first serve. My order is 20 minutes within the deal posted and still no reply. Most people here probably ordered hours after the deal was posted. the 20 minutes is due to their website keep rejecting the order and maneuvering around the $40 shipping fee to get it down to $5.95.

    Thank you for placing an order (0000023599-23603) with Ray's Outdoors Online.

    Regretfully, we have had to decline your order due to the following reasons.

    As per email we are unable to supply your order

    Please do not hesitate to contact us should you require any further information about this order. You can contact us by email at [email protected] or call us on 1800 641 867 between the hours of 8am and 5.30pm Monday to Friday, AEST.

    Thank you for shopping with Ray's Outdoors Online.

    Kind Regards,

    Ray's Outdoors

    As per what email? Where is my money and voucher? I guess I won't go to Ray's outdoor again.

      No stock in store and therefore… refunding orders :(

  • notreallyhere on 10/07/2013 - 15:23

    called Rays -
    OK so in regards to the Merrell tops, I think its the same deal "over sold" however not on the same scale as theses ones. For example my order (2x mens merrel jackets and 1x ladies) they have the mens but not the ladies, which was holding up processing. They will double check that they DO have the mens stock by calling the store holding it (fingers crossed) and get back to me.

    Its certainly the case that stock is plucked from the individual store shelves, most likely at the end of the day, so if someone walks in and buys of the rack, goodbye online order… not the best system to say the least.
