$10 Off $30+ at Sierra Trading Post - Google Checkout
News about Google Checkout is already all over the web, but Hiker Deals readers may be interested to know that if you can get $10 off any order of $30, or more, at Sierra Trading Post if you use Google checkout to pay for a purchase.
Instead of entering your credit card with Sierra Trading Post you need to sign up for a Google Checkout account (ie: give them your credit card info) and then Google pays for your order by using your credit card. It’s supposed to be more secure than giving your credit card to “any old web store” … I agree, except that Sierra Trading Post isn’t just any web store. Still, it’s worth an extra $10 off camping gear or outdoor clothes.

20% Off, No Minimum, at EastBay Sporting Goods - Aug 19-22 Only

$99.97 - Sierra Designs Cochise 15-degree Sleeping Bag
http://www.altrec.com/shop/detail/22588/
A 15-degree rated Polarguard bag at about 3 pounds (3 pounds + 2 ounces to be exact) is a pretty good deal. At just $99.97 and with the great Sierra Designs warranty behind it the Sierra Designs Cochise sounds like a great deal.
It’s 34% off at Altrec.com right now. Only the long, left-zip bad is available, though a few extra inches at this weight is probably good for tossing an extra fleece and dry socks into the bottom to keep them warm for the next morning. Also, left-zip means you use your right hand to reach across your chest to open it, so it’s not a “left-handed” bag.
$260 - Moonstone Delta Liberty Ridge 0-degree Down Sleeping Bag
Sierra Trading Post has the Moonstone Delta Optima sleeping bag for just 40% off. Rated to 0-degrees, this is an 800+ fill power down sleeping bag with a highly water- & wind-resistant Pertex shell. I’m a big fan of Moonstone sleeping bags. I’ve owned two and don’t have any doubt that this sleeping bag will match or beat the 0-degree rating. One other great add-on to this bag is the mesh pocket in the hood - great for keeping a watch alarm audible for early alpine starts.
$350 - Sierra Designs Tiros Tent
The Sierra Designs Tiros 4-season tent is a bombproof tent for cold, windy, and even snowy camping weather. Not you’re normal backpacking tent, the Tiros weighs 9 pound, 6 ounces, but the 4-pole design with two vestibules will keep 2 people and gear sheltered in any weather. The full fly and fully covered windows only in the two doors help trap body heat and make the tent a lot warmer than any vented 2-season or 3-season tents.
Currently 30% off at Sierra Trading Post the Tiros tent is a deal with the winter camping season just getting started.

Coupon: 10% Off Gift Cards at Eastbay.com Sporting Goods

The Ama Dablam shell in 2005 has a performance fit, which means less bagginess, and stretch panels to keep movement easy and the jacket light. It’s also made from Gore-Tex XCR fabric - which is still the most breathable and lightest waterproof fabric out there.
