Hopefully they will do a better job with Inventory Control.The road to glory cannot be followed with much baggage.

no thanks. GIven the write ups of what they were/are doing.....and their new site has "Invest" on it.....nope.Pirating – Corporate Takeover without the paperwork

I hope they make the Rush day-pack series again. I want a 24 liter pack to use as a summer overnight pack. I have the 14 liter and I love it.Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.

Reading through the Q&A for the investment site it looks like they learned their lesson. I always thought GoLite was great. The opened too many large stores and got into trying to sell casual clothing which was not what their customers want.

i've tried buying their daypack (30L?) twice. i'll try again if they add it later; 3rd times a charm or something like that.
i've been getting their emails for several months now. gmail puts them directly in my spam folder. do they know something we don't?

I might pop for an umbrella.

I guess I need to start checking my spam folder more. Being that I bought a 20L daypack from them online, I would think I would be on their email list.

Great product checking out that 70 L right now.Be wise enough to walk away from the nonsense around you!

I use my Rush 14 almost daily and love it. It's looking a little battered.
The only thing I don't like are the hip belt pockets. They are useless...remember my attempt to put a closure on them? I lost my knife because it slipped out of the pocket.Lost in the right direction. -
I think those pockets are for energy gels. Other then that they are useless. Decent pockets would be better.TrafficJam wrote:

It looks like they intend to open brick and mortar stores again. They might do better by just selling online and in existing stores, like ULA Equipment does.Lost in the right direction.

I use those pockets for my Inhaler and my micro FM radio.Be wise enough to walk away from the nonsense around you!

Looks like their small stores were profitableTrafficJam wrote:

I have yet to use my pockets. I guess I could try cutting them off if I really wanted to Dave weight.The road to glory cannot be followed with much baggage.

them little purse size umbrellas that lady's carry are just as light and cheap. Don't know how they would hold up on the trail. I like a poncho.

In this day and age of terrorism using the word bombproof just might get you on some government list like the no fly list.

I still wish I had snagged a chrome dome umbrella when I was at their store five years ago. I think it was around $25.mental note wrote:

How are you tackling manufacturing?

The final cut-and-sew for our first products is concentrated at leading manufacturers in Vietnam and China.
Historically, the products we're making have had plenty of inputs and cut-and-sew in the United States, Canada, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, France and other countries.2,000 miler -

I see no reason to ever pay top dollar so a company can use cheap and unfair labor practices (not saying go-light has done that) and come away with a huge margin...just my 2 sense.

My buddy scored a lightly used GoLite Odessey at a thrift store a couple of months age. He hiked with once and didn't like as the sizing was off. Yesterday the pack landed on my doorstep.
Today I loaded it with gear and walked a couple of miles. Fits great.
