Mountain Hardware Hammerhead 2 Tent 25% Off and Free Shipping
The Mountain Hardware Hammerhead 2 tent is an awesome 3-pole design with tons of room, 2 doors, and weighs just 6 lb. 10 oz. The great thing about this tent design is the crossed corner poles plus the brow-pole, which holds the tent walls up and out and makes for a lot roomier tent. It’s 4 feet tall inside and 8 feet, 2 inches long (nice for those of use over 6 feet tall). Even better, it’s just $183.97 (25% off) and has free shipping at Altrec.com.
40% Off Black Diamond Blizzard and Iris Climbing Harnesses
The Blizzard climbing harness (just $39.93, search REI.com for Item# 696574) is built especially for ice climbing, but it makes for a great trad or sport-climbing harness too. It’s stripped down as an ice harness, so it’s light (just 15 oz.) and has great freedom of movement. The padding is meduim-thick for comfort and it’s hidden inside the waistband so it doesn’t rub on sport or trad climbs and doesn’t pick up water and ice during winter work. The adjustable gear loops are great too, for those of us who don’t fit one-size harnesses or who climb in all sorts of weather.
Built for women’s waist and leg sizes the women’s Iris climbing harness (just $29.93, search REI.com for Item# 696575) delivers ultra lightweight (just 13 ounces) and Black Diamond’s comfy, but breathable, padding. The Iris is light, flexible and has a rear haul loop – so it will be great for both sport and trad climbing.

The North Face Cutback Trail Running Shoe 17% Off and Free Shipping
Zappos.com has the new-model The North Face Cutback trail running shoe for 17% off and (currently) it’s available in all sizes. The cutback is a lightweight trail running shoe that’s probably suited for all but the longest pavement runs and it’s built extra tough for trails (or big guys who tend to mash running shoes into goo…). Living in SoCal I’m a fan of the Cutback because it’s built extra breathable, instead of being water-resistant and sweaty.
Even if you’re not in to the Cutback shoe – Zappos.com offers free shipping on ALL orders, plus free return shipping and a 365-day retun policy.

85% Off Heavyweight Cotton T-Shirts, Just $2.65 Each
Everyone needs a few inexpensive, plain cotton t-shirts. Even though they’re not recommended for camping, backpacking, or anythong where you’ll be sweating I probably own five cotton t’s for every “technical”, synthetic t-shirt. After all, they’re inexpensive, comfortable, and don’t stink horribly like synthetic t-shirts do.
Grab a few of these bargain shirts from Sierra Trading Post: $2.65 for 100% cotton, heavyweight t-shirts. Colors white, grey, and black are available in sizes M, L, and XL, and while they may not be organic cotton but they’re made in Canada instead of imported from somewhere overseas…
