They use really high end materials and it is handmade stuff rather than a generic factory of Chinese assembly line workers.  But also the currency exchange is really disadvantageous to us in the US and Canada.

It's expensive everywhere, even Europe. Have a Sweet Trooper Halfcut and getting a hold of some outerwear this season, I haven't heard a bad word short of the ridiculous expense.

because,
1. Its European...tis the nature of the game over there
2. It is the only really high quality outerwear with a park fit
              ie. compare prices to Patagonia, Arc'teryx, etc, it is right about the same price.
3. It will last you...compare it to saga, LDC, etc, that stuff will last a couple of seasons MAX because of the quality, sweet will hold up..its durable.
