The North Face Buildering Shoes Reviewed and on Sale
Approach shoes are a new enough breed that a lot of companies still don’t get them right. Most that I’ve tried tend to be too heavy and clumsy to do much other than cause heel blisters or rolled ankles.
With just a few years of making shoes under their belts The North Face must have hired the right people, because their trail shoes are getting great reviews at the Altrec and Zappos
web sites. Thankfully TNF is still changing models up a lot, so there are plenty of models from this season to put on sale.
- 33% off The North Face Men’s Buildering Shoe (reviewed here too)
- 49% off The North Face Women’s Buildering Shoe (reviewed here too)
- 9 to 33% off and free shipping on: 18 different TNF Men’s trail shoes
- 6 to 41% off and free shipping on: 36 different TNF Women’s trail shoes

Lowe Alpine Rush 27 and 35 Daypacks on Sale
I have an old-school predecessor to both of these packs that is about 11 years old. It started out splitting its time as a book bag for school and my main pack for weekend overnight camping. All that time and hundreds of days stuffed with gear (No, I’m not carrying too much. It’s only a 30 liter pack, so a sleeping bag and food is a tough fit.) and my pack doesn’t have a single hole or blown seam.
These Lowe Alpine packs are made the same way and with their padded hipbelts they should out-carry and out-comfort many fo the ultralight daypacks that are everywhere now. Both packs also one-up my old model with both internal and external sleeves for hydration bladders and dual mesh pockets by the hipbelt.
- 35% off: Lowe Alpine Rush Daypack - 27 liter, 1,700 cubic inches
- 37% off: Lowe Alpine Rush Daypack - 35 liter, 2,100 cubic inches
30% Off Sierra Designs Hyperlight 3 Tent: A Big, 3-person, 6-pound Wonder
The Sierra Designs Hyperlight 3 Tent is marked down to just $237 at Sierra Trading Post.
At only 6 lbs. 3 oz. for a roomy 3-person tent this one is a keeper. I’m considering buying one myself, since its length would be great for a taller camper like myself and the extra room would mean we could keep the dog inside and dry (our husky sneaks out into the rain, then crawls back under the vestibule and shakes off - on to the one dry space for miles around). This Hyperlight 3 tent also uses the high-end Featherlight poles from Easton and should stand up to a lot of wind and abuse. Plus, the colors of this tent should keep it cool under a bright sun.
