15% Off Sale on North Face and Burton Gear and Clothes
15% Off Sale on both North Face Burton (sale ends 11/11/2005). I thought this stuff never went on sale, but Altrec.com has 15% off all new clothes and gear from Burton and The North Face. Time to score new gear for the slopes or some early gifts to stay away from the shopping rush later.
Mesa Long Sleeve Shirt from Mountain Hardware Just $43.97
Camping in Red Rock Canyon, NV this weekend was a good time, but the desert weather reminded me how hard it is to find camping clothes that can handle 45° mornings and 75°, blazing-sun afternoons.
Unless you’re going to hang around camp all day put on all the clothes you’ll need all day in the morning. Stick with light layers, since it’s a pain to carry half a weekend’s clothing on every Red Rock hike or excursion into Las Vegas. Lightweight long underwear over a short sleeve shirt will work for backcountry days, but if you’re planning to try to get free beer at the tables in a casino - stick with shirts instead of long underwear tops. Likewise, stay away from fleece or shell jackets, because they’re just baggage after the first few morning hours.
One piece that served me well on hikes and on the Vegas strip was an older version of this Mountain Hardware Mesa long-sleeve shirt. The light, synthetic fabric stays pretty wrinkle-free in a pack, stops wind better than fleece - without the profuse sweating either, and it doesn’t pick up dirt or stink quickly either.
Smith Axis Sunglasses Just $30.95
The Smith Axis Sunglasses are 68% off at Steep and Cheap today. These are pretty sweet sunglasses, but since glasses are so personal I’ll comment that they’re only available in a subtle tortoise-brown (swirl of dark- and medium-brown colors) and the Axis sunglasses tend to fit meduim faces with small to medium noses (the nose piece is non-adjustable).
4-Season Tent 30% Off - Mountain Hardwear Annapurna Tent
The Mountain Hardwear Annapurna tent is a 4-season, 2-person tent targeted right at the middle of the space/weight decision. It’s not the lightest, but it’s big enough that both you and your tent-mate can lay flat and not bump into each other. Regularly $424.95 the Annapurna tent is only $297.95 at 30% off - and one of the only 4-season tents that I could find at a bargain price just as we start getting close to really needing a 4-season shelter.
Mountain Hardwear Backcountry Recon Jacket - Waterproof, Breathable & on Clearance
Just 18 ounces of waterproof protection, the Mountain Hardwear Backcountry Recon jacket is just $191.97 (23% off) and has free shipping. With waterproof zippers, multiple pockets, a durable three-layer membrane, and Mountain Hardware’s quality & warranty this jacket is a bargain.

37% and 53% Off Asolo Axis and Vert Trail Running Shoes for Men & Women
Asolo’s trail running shoes are built on the same comfortable lasts as Asolo’s boots, plus they have more durable polyurethane midsoles and rubber rands to keep them from being torn apart in especially rugged terrain. Both shoes are available in almost all sizes in two different colors (as I write this).

Outdoor Research Synchro Hoody 74% Off
Another sweet deal from Steep and Cheap. 74% off the Outdoor Research Synchro jacket, a PrimaLoft filled shell with ripstop, DWR shell. It’s perfect for both early winter outings that are slushy and would ruin a down jacket and as a lightweight (29oz), compressible backup-plan to stuff in the bottom of your pack for fall and spring trips that might turn into freeze-fests. Hurry up though because the large-size is already gone.
