My math teacher today was telling us about how his brother likes to dumpster dive. As weird as it sounds I guess he knows where to go to find the good stuff.
Anyway, he told us how his brother went to the Black Diamond factory in Cabot, VT and found 47 Black Diamond softshells in the dumpster with nothing more than minor damage. None of the outer shells had been compromised. The one that my math teacher received from him had a small rip on the inside pocket, kinda like a goggles pocket on the inside of the coat. I guess he ended up donating around 40 of them to a coat drive after he gave some away to friends.
Seems nuts that Black Diamond (and I'm sure other companies) would be wasting all of these coats when many people clearly cannot afford nice warm clothing in this economy.
