Buy with confidence – I’m a longtime member and have bought from members and sold many times on the forums and organized two large BPL group buys.

All prices include shipping in the Continental US. Will ship international but please ask first regarding added shipping cost. Accept Paypal cash payment, either Personal Gift or add 3% to cover fees. Add $2 if you’d like insurance. Please PM and I’ll send my Paypal address.

I’ll post pics soon as I can tomorrow, just wanted to get these out there before the new site migration.

Please share with any friends who might be interested. Thanks for looking!

1) Patagonia Fitz Roy Down Parka, 200g (7 oz) 800FP Down and Box Baffled, Size Large, Black, New with Tags, Retail $449 + tax, Only $239 shipped. This is the excellent 2014-2015 edition discussed in the thread below.

A fantastically warm down parka by fill weight and design. Box Baffled. Warm down filled draft tube behind chest zipper. New with tags still attached and here at about the same price as the Montbell Frost Line Park, which has shorter length/less coverage and slightly less down fill. You can read great info about the 2014 Fitz Roy Parka in this BPL discussion thread: http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/forums/thread_display.html?forum_thread_id=97078&disable_pagination=1

2) Patagonia M’s Nano Air Hoody, Size Large, Green (most popular color of its season as it’s not loud for around town yet still stands out nicely in outdoor photos). I love this jacket and it’s made to move fast in winter, but I can’t justify hanging onto it right now given that I probably won’t get to do any winter trips this season. I’ll definitely purchase it again once I know I’ll be doing regular cold weather trips. Retail $299 + tax, Only $199 Shipped

3) MSR Lightning Ascent Snowshoes, 30 in./76cm length, Orange, Lightly Used in Excellent Condition, Retail $289 + tax, only $199 shipped

Super durable construction, great bite for icy and steep terrain. This red color also stands out very nicely in winter lower light conditions compared with the current drab gray color. Given work travel and family commitments the Ms. and I will barely get to see snow this season. Will buy these same snowshoes again once we're to get to snow regularly again as they have much better bite in steeper and icy terrain than the Northern Lites and other tubular snowshoes.

Note that I’m 6 ft tall 175 lbs and even carrying a pack on powder I’ve never needed more flotation. And any longer length than 30 in. and you’re going to be tripping over yourself and moving slower.

4) MSR Lightning Ascent, 25 in./64 cm length, Red, Lightly Used in Excellent Condition, Retail $289 + tax, Only $189 shipped

Super durable construction, great bite for icy and steep terrain. This red color also stands out very nicely in winter lower light conditions compared with the current drab gray color.

Note that the Ms. is 5 ft 6 130 lbs and even carrying a pack on powder she’s never needed more flotation.
