Help! Anyone know if there's a stockist for Arc'teryx women's harnesses in Melbourne?

I remember the gym at Altona stocking them when I lived there a year ago.

Sea to Summit (in Perth) are currently distributing Arc'teryx products in Australia.

Take a look at the list of their Victorian stockists here:

But note that perhaps not all of them will be stocking climbing products.

Sea to Summit are only the agents, not stockist. Due to the incredible lack of demand for arc'teryx products in australia they're only importing what retailers request. (being that it's so expensive and no one pays full price for it...)

It is worth while asking a stockist (I.e paddys) if they can special order it in, however you will most likely will have to pay for it upfront.

... I love my R280 :D

Arcteryx retail prices in Australian shops are an insult. The range is a fraction of what it could be if they had more reasonable prices.

Facewest.co.uk had Arc harnesses on sale a while back, and have a reasonable stock of other Arcteryx stuff, with low shipping charges.

I'm with you Damo. I love Arc'teryx gear but it's crazy expensive here and there's no way I'd pay what they ask for it in shops.

And so begins the sad, sad tale. First you find yourself wanting the gear. You patiently save up for your new prize but then impatience rears its ugly head and you start thinking of nefarious ways to get more gear more often. And then you make more wrong choices and wind up in the big house with Bubba, your new best friend... It's a dark path you tred bobic, paying retail will save you much heartache;)
