Stopped by the Federal Way, WA Costco today. I was surprised to see something from First Ascent!

Eddie Bauer First Ascent Down Vest - $79.99
I'm not a vest person, and I don't think this is a particularly good deal, but I hope Costco gets more First Ascent gear in the future.
Image

Kirkland Men's 1/4 zip 100% Merino Wool sweater - $14.97
I bought one of these. Just can't beat the price. It's not machine washable, but it rarely needs to be washed. It's wool!
Image

Ladies Helly Hansen 1/4 zip Fleece - $34.99
These are really nice. Not really a good deal, but I'd love to see Costco get more Helly Hansen gear.

The Motorola MT351R 2-way Radio's are on sale. - $59.99
I've been eyeballing these for a couple years. Decided to jump on this deal and buy a set. From the research I've done, they seem to have very positive feedback. I like that I can easily charge them via USB, or use standard AA batteries.

The MT351R seems to be the Costco equivalent of the Motorola MT350R available elsewhere.

The Costco winter inventory purge has started over the last week. They don't even wait for the first day of winter. Now it's time to watch out for Clearance deals.

I stopped by the Burlington, Wa Costco last night and they had Eddie Bauer First Ascent 800 fill down jackets for $99. The price tag was marked with a *, which means they are "marked for delete". They also still had plenty of the Kirland 800 fill down jackets for $40??, which is an awesome deal.

Eddie Bauer First Ascent 800 Fill Down Jacket - $99

On the way out, I was surprised to see a Polaris snowmobile. Costco price was a mere $12k! Doh!

The First Ascent Down Jackets have been reduced to - $69.97
I pulled the trigger on the First Ascent Jacket. The fit and quality seem better than the Kirkland jacket.

Let me know if you go back, I would love one of the Eddie Bauer coats but I won't be at Costco before they are gone.

The Burlington Costco has the Smartwool Mens Hiking Light Crew Socks in store. 2PK - $23.99
This a really good deal, however I think the Kirkland wool socks are a much better bargain. Both are excellent! Nice to see a Smartwool product in store!

Just an FYI, Woodinville Costco does not have any of the Eddie Bauer coats or vests and they only had about 100 of the Kirkland coats and they were all XL, trust me my wife and I looked at all of them.
