Just $59 for Sierra Designs Volt Soft Shell Jacket
The incredibly light, just 14 ounces, the Sierra Designs Volt softshell jacket is 60% off. It’s a wind-blocking jacket made with Gore WindStopper fabric, so it’s as breathable and water resistant as soft shells get without letting the wind in. At just $58.83 it’s also about as inexpensive as you’ll manage to find any real soft shells too.

40% Off PrAna Sherpa Crew Long Sleeve Sweatshirt
A classic sweathshirt done one better, the Prana Sherpa crew neck sweatshirt is a thick cotton blend with a brushed polyester fleece inside (warm enough that it makes a great jacket on mild days and is great under a shell on cold ski days). The cut also makes it more comfortable for activewear since the seams are kept off the shoulders so they don’t rub.

BackcountryOutlet.com has the Mountainsmith Chimera Women’s Backpack, a large pack with just a 3.5 pound weight, for 35% off.

Their Dimension Polyant fabric has greater tear strength and a higher resistance to abrasion, water, and UV degradation than 500 denier Cordura. Twin aluminum stays distribute the weight evenly and a cooling spinal channel in the back padding plus a custom-fit waistbelt with moisture-wicking stretch fabric keep the pack very comfortable. The Chimera is also equipped with a hydration reservoir pocket and two large mesh water bottle pockets.
BackcountryOutlet.com also offers free shipping on this pack and all orders of $50 and up.
40% Off Marmot Windstopper and Schoeller Softshell Jackets
Schoeller is where the softshell concept got started – with incrdibly breathable, wind resistant, and durable fabrics (with a bit of stretch) that are much more comfortable and versatile than GoreTex – and Schoeller still makes some of the highest performance (and usually most expensive) softshell fabrics today. Both the men’s Marmot Highland Schoeller Powershield softshell jacket and the women’s Marmot Highland Schoeller Powershield softshell jacket are just $159.95 – a bargain price for Schoeller-brand fabrics. The Highland jackets have a light fleece lining, handwarmer pockets, and great understated looks.
The Marmot Aspen Windstopper jacket is an new, overstocked Aspen Mountain employee jacket. Windstopper isn’t stretcy, so the Aspen jacket fit is a lot more relaxed and roomy than most softshells. It’s also ultralight and weighs just 16 ounces, even with PitZips and Polartec PowerStretch panels for breathability and zippered handwarmer pockets. At just $43.20 this is 40% off and a bargain for what you’re getting.
Mountain Hardware Galaxy SL Down Sleeping Bag and Quantum Bag Expander, Just $232 and Free Shipping
The Galaxy SL down sleeping bag and the Galaxy SL Long bag, both from Mountain Hardware is a 15-degree rated bag with an extra kicker that makes the bag a lot more comfortable in warmer temps and for bigger campers. That “kicker” is an expandable baffle that unzips to let the bag expand upto 8 inches in width – no more stuffed-turkey feeling for big guys and some extra airspace to keep things cooler for everyone else (just remember extra airspace means a cooler bag, so the Quantum probably isn’t 15-degree rated if the baffle is unzipped). The addition of one extra zipper is needed, but Mountaint hardware keeps the bag’s weight down to just 3 pounds, 3 ounces with their lightweight construction. There is also no side baffle separating the top and bottom of the sleeping bag – so you can shake the bag to move down to the top of the bag for extra warmth or to the bottom of the bag for breathability on warm nights.
This bag is a bit pricier than many because it has Conduit SL shell fabric – which is a highly water-resistant fabric similar to Gore’s DryLoft. The shell fabric alone adds about 5-degrees of warmth to the bag (with only 2-3 ounces of extra weight) and helps to keep the down dry and warm in rainy and muggy conditions. With fabric like this you don’t really have to worry about small tent leaks or spilled water bottles – I was never brave (or dumb) enough to try it, but I had a friend who actually used seam sealer on all his sleeping bag’s seams and then tried sleeping under a picnic table during a night of lilght rain. That idea didn’t work for more than 5 minutes once it turned into heavy rain and he felt like he was going to drown from the water pouring in by his face, although the shell fabric did keep the bag from turning into a 30 pound pile of wet-duck-smelling down.
Both the Galaxy SL bag and the Galaxy SL Long sleeping bag
are on sale for $231.97 at Altrec.com and both include free shipping.
