Looking for highest quality gear for absolute cheapest price.

I am looking for the highest quality gear like something reviewed in Rock and Ice. But I am not looking to pay full price. Overall I cannot have quality sacrificed but I will not pay retail price.

I've personally fought, hand-to-hand, an employee from each of those online retailers.

I stand behind them 100%.

I visit specialty outdoor shops to try on and compare the finest gear available (some of which may, occasionally, even see a write-up in R&I)

I ask very detailed questions of the staff at these shops

and I ALWAYS make sure that I can return any gear I buy at any time for any reason

then I buy it on Amazon for 6% less.

Retail is the worst.
