have you had a look for factory shops/outlets?

I think Rab have a factory shop but I don't know if they'll do any major discounts.

Always found Mountain Equipment to be very stingy with there sizing. The cut is so small its ridiculous.

Alpkit.

I forked out for a Rab, but now wish I'd saved a few bob and got the Alpkit - my missus' is excellent and getting on for 3 years old now with no signs of wear or down loss. The new ones look even better.

I found a 20% off code for Cotswold Outdoor - B2091 or FJ71. Can't remember which one I used, worked 3 days ago. They might have something.

The trip was amazing, we set off to do Mt M-goun but it dropped 4 feet of snow and we could not get in to our start valley, mind yiu we should have known when we saw the reports.

Not all lost though the guide took us up to 2,900 M in a blisteringly hot day with deep snow.

The trip for the 4 of us cost £50 per person per day for the use of a land cruser, a guide, driver, cook, food, digs, drop off and collect from the airport as well as fist and last night in Marrakesh at half board.

Superb place with loads to do...........
