there are no "close by" outlets. you should be able to find something on google, but the last time i looked there werent any even relatively close. There used to be one at the North Georgie premium outlets, but it's been closed for some time.

If you're wanting REAL outdoor gear, checkout Mountain Hardware, Patagonia, or Arcteryx.

Northface ftmfl, and i own several of their products, from summit series to denali's, the quality has drastically lessened as of late, probably due to everybody and their little siblings sporting the stuff.
