I beleive computers are sold fast and in high ammounts because of the competitive market. I am not saying outdoor gear is not competitive, but as compared to computers I don't think that it is a legit comparison.

Also never underestimate the drive of American Capitalism.

You could be right as well though. I am no econ major, nor have I ever taken a class on econ.

It just seems to me, that a wool jacket shouldn't be around $120.

Also a fleece sweater with a quater zip should never be around $50-$80. Thats about $5 worth of material.

In short perhaps its not the wannabie trendy yuppies that are driving the prices high. Its all those out-door enthusiast that wear their out door gear, even when getting groceries. (NOTE: SARCASIM)
