Now is a great time to refresh your hiking, camping, and travel gear or snag a deal on ski gear before the season opens.
We combed through the Backcountry Semi-Annual Sale and found bargains on some of the more popular and trusted gear, including deals from top brands like Outdoor Research, Patagonia, Black Diamond, and Backcountry.
This mega-sale runs through Labor Day (September 3), but that doesnt mean the inventory will last that long. You may find different savings on certain sizes or colors, and certain deals may close out earlier than expected.
In other words, if you find something you like at a bargain price — get it before its gone!
