Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Backpack Hunting GoLite going out of business

If any of you guys are looking for a deal on a decent lightweight pack you may find one in your size still.
I have one that is 4 years old and still going strong.

Pretty sure some of those obnoxious colors weren't good for sales.
I hope the prices on their quilts come down further.

Crap! I like their gear, agree the clothing colors are a little wild. Was always curious about their business model having few stores and in super high end locations. I'll be checking back to see if the deals get better.

Its a shame.... love their tents. I'd buy another SL5 if they had them in stock, just to have it.

Not too surprised. I had a bad experience with their customer service when my SL5 failed. The business focus seemed out of whack. Their website listed "sustainability, transparency, fair labor, recycling", etc. but not much about customer satisfaction.

To their credit, they finally repaired the tent (local repair shop) better than new but it took 2 months total time. Should have gotten it repaired myself. Lesson learned.

Thought highly of GoLite in its early days, but now seems more like a Boulder hipster company.

Should have kept that SL5... it'll be a collector's item!

I have a Utopia that I really like. It's easy to set up and has held up well over the years. Too bad they discontinued it years ago....

There are plenty of other companies making quality lightweight gear these days, I can't say I'll be getting misty eyed over this.

Agreed! Especially since mine after 5 years and 6 trips to Kodiak finally gave up the ghost and need a new SL-5. Bummer deal for sure

Glad I have an SL3 and an SL5. I also have one of their down quilts that's a great warm weather bag. Would love to try one of their 3 season bags.

Dunno though, big going out of business sale I kind of expected better than a 20% discount. I suspect as time passes the discounts will deepen but only on inventory that's less desirable.
