Australian prices! 23-May-2011 At 10:13:12 PM BoulderBaby

It's because of the gentlemans agreement, they won't ship to aus. If you want it, you should organise it through the supplier (which I think is now patagonia australia)

Also, I can't believe how cheap patagonia gear is in Australia compared to the UK!!

I now think of prices in how many hours it takes me to save up to buy it.
for example - UK - patagonia cap 3 - about 50 pounds - around about 9hours to earn it (earning 6 pounds an hour)

Or in oz, same thing - about $80 - takes me 4 hours to earn.

I know we all love to save a buck or two, and I especially do, but things in australia currently are really really affordable, I was so suprized how much things have dropped in price since I've been back, and how the hourly wage has increased for australians. We're getting it pretty good. It's not that hard to specially order something...
