Here is a great site that will probably save you some time when searching for prices on gear. It searches different web retailers for the best prices on tons of items and the results can be sorted by price, manufacturer or % discounted. There are links to reviews as well....check it out, it's pretty kewl.

I'm not all that impressed - take the LE Thermarest - they show low price of $99 but Botach Tactical has them for $90

BotachTactical.com! - We are your one-stop source for Law Enforcement, Military & Public Safety Supplies.

Well, HOI, I'm not sure their search engine is set up to search every imaginable site out there, especially a site not dealing with the "outdoor market" per se. But if ya need a good gas mask, mob control baton, or groin guard, I'd say BotachTactical.com is THE place to go!

Thanks Kleetn. That's pretty cool but I tested it with a couple of things.

For instance: Campmor has the TNF Mountain Light jacket for $199.97 - Gearshark only found two retailers - both at $375.

They need more sites.

I think I know why, Violin...on the left side is a list of Current Retailers, and they are...

Altrec
Backcountry Store
Bentgate Mountaineering
Eastern Mountain Sports
Gear Pro
Mountain Gear
REI
REI-Outlet
Shoreline
Snow Leopard

They definitely need to add more (Campmor, Backcountry Gear and Sierra Trading Post would be a start!)

Shewt yeah hogonice, botach is a killer place for some specialized gear. You can get them MicroLight Photon II's (the one's with the on/off switch) for 10.20 about once a month. Beat that!!!

My guess is the site has some kind of commercial arrangement... getting a fee when someone uses the links (or uses the link and then buys) and that places like Campmor or Sierra Trading Post won't bite (or that other sites don't want to pay to compete with them).
