Because this is on sale, will there be a new model coming out for 2010? I am really looking to buying this, and though the sale is enticing, I'd like to have the most recent jacket.

Hi Ely, Jon Webb can correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I know the Alchemy has been around nearly as long as Mountain Hardwear and remains virtually unchanged in the last couple years. It's listed as their "flagship" jacket, so I really don't see MHW making a significant change to it for 2010. It's on sale because 1) It's Christmas and 2) Backcountry wants to clear out their winter gear for when the spring stuff starts arriving in February. Go ahead and buy it. You won't be disappointed as long as you heed the warnings regarding sizing.
