Golite gone?

Post by hikeaz »

GoLite, a Boulder-based outdoor clothing and equipment manufacturer, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on Oct. 13, 2014.
... Alicia Wallace with the Daily Camera reported the business is now in “liquidation mode.”

Wow! I've followed what few hints came up since the initial filing and didn't think they were necessarily headed toward liquidation. I visited the Boulder store a couple times this year, most recently about six weeks ago. I have a couple GoLite items that I liked a lot, but their business strategy is baffling. It's as if they wanted to be half MontBell and half Columbia.
