19% Off Yakima Racks at Moosejaw.com

Yakima racks on sale at Moosejaw.comYakima car racks are on sale at Moosejaw.com right now. Not a big sale, just 10% off, but you can also use coupon code SUPERSALE at checkout to get another 10% off the sale price. Total discount after coupon code is 19% off regular prices.

And, while Yakima parts are kinda’ bulky and heavy ground shipping is free from Moosejaw on all orders of $49 or more. Even better, there’s no sales tax on anything unless you’re shipping it to Michigan or Illinois. Since I used to live in Chicago and still have friends there who read this site, that stinks for you, but you can ship your new gear to me and come visit. I won’t use your gear before you get here. Really I just want an excuse to go camping and use your new gear once you get here.

REI Coupon: 20% Off One Item, May 4-13th

Yosemite hiking cliff picture pic - REI gear saleA big, fat 20% off coupon for any full-price item at REI is in my Saturday LA Times today. No need to run out and try to track one down though, the 20% off coupon is part of REIs anniversary sale and is good on orders placed by mail and phone too. Just mention coupon code ANNV7 at phone checkout or enter it into the coupon code box online and it will apply to the highest-priced camp, hike, or sports gear in your cart - with some exclusions, see small print paraphrased below.

Of course, the coupon’s small print:
Offer isn’t valid on sale items. REI membership required, but you can join for $15 at checkout. Also not valid on special orders, packages, prior purchases, gif cards, services, rentals, bikes, boats, GPS’s, radios, or locator beacons (for once, ski and snowboard gear appears to be eligible - of course, it’s probably on closeout sale already and thus not eligible as a sale item). Merchandise must be in-stock and purchases with this coupon aren’t eligible for the REI member refund.

19% Off Superfeet Insoles at Moosejaw

superfeet boot shoe support insoles saleIt took a lot of convincing to get me to try my first pair of Superfeet insoles. I managed a department at an outdoor gear store, but refused to spend $20 on a pair (only $20 because prices have gone up in the past decade and because we got a good discount as store employees). I ended up getting a free pair from the Superfeet sales rep. and soon started recommending them to store shoppers. Now I’m recommending them to readers here too (or, if you’re already a Superfeet user just jump to the bottom for the coupon code). Grab the low profile, blue Superfeet insoles to add stability and comfort to athletic shoes and snug fitting hiking boots. Just remember that the ridged, plastic heelcup (on the bottom, not against the foot) can rub against Gore-tex linings and eventually wear holes in them - and that this version of Superfeet have a slightly lower arch support and don’t need much break in.

superfeet boot shoe support insoles high profile saleThe high profile, green Superfeet insoles are great for adding stability and reducing slipping in roomy hiking and mountaineering boots. They also require a good amount of break-in because the thicker arch foam needs to mold to your foot - which also means that they’re the more comfortable version as long as there’s enough room in your footwear for both your foot and these green Superfeet insoles.

Both styles of insoles are on sale for $29.71 at Moosejaw. Just make sure you use the coupon code SUPERSALE at checkout and get an extra 10% off the insoles, making both styles of Superfeet just $26.74.

Sierra Trading Post Coupon: 7% Off $95+

Coupon 120x60Update: The July coupon is out and is good for 10% off all orders of $100+. All links in this message to Sierra Trading Post have been updated. June coupon valid until August 1st, 2007.

The other day a friend who I’d always thought of as a deal-seeker told me they probably wouldn’t bother with any sale for 10% or less off. I don’t know if that’s really the case, since they’ve gone to great lengths in the past to use two 20% off one item per person coupons, but I did think of them when Sierra Trading Post released their April coupon.

Good for 7% off any order of $95 and up. Maybe not enough to motivate new visitors to buy, but their already low prices on new, brand name gear keep me going back - and I sure won’t turn down an extra 7% off if I’m already planning to buy.

$26.08 - Gerber Butterfly Opening Multi-tool, 43% Off

Gerber Suspension Butterfly Opening Multi-tool Plier and SheathThe Gerber “Suspension Butterfly-Opening” Multitool is 43% off at Amazon. This tool is a bit bigger than the average plier/screwdriver combo and easily fits a full assortment of tools, including a woodsaw, two knife blades, and a better than average pair of scissors. The needle nose pliers are also typical Gerber: perfectly-aligned and not at all clunky. Despie the good pliers and large size of the tool, the drilled-out suspension handle keeps weight down. Plus, free shipping on orders over $25 at Amazon.com means the $26.08 sale price is just enough to score free shipping.

Free Shipping Coupon at Sierra Trading Post

Coupon 120x60The January coupon for Sierra Trading Post is out. Click through any of the links in this post and get free shipping on all orders of $85 and up (coupon valid until 2/8/2007).

It’s not the greatest discount ever, but it’s probably the same as about 10-15% off any $100-200 order - and with all the discounts, and the fact that I don’t want to go out and hunt for parking at a mall, I tend to shop at Sierra Trading Post whether they have a coupon out or not.

$99.99 - Sierra Designs Sirius 3-season Tent

Sierra Designs Sirius 3 season tent
Altrec.com took 29% off the Sierra Designs Sirius tent. Want to talk about ultralight gear? This is a 3-season, 2 person, two door tent that weighs about 4 and a half pounds. Peak height is 39 inches and the Sirius is self-standing. Tent also includes free shipping and sale ends January 9, 2007.

The key to getting the feature-filled, roomier Sirius tent even lighter than Sierra Design’s clip flashlight is a 3/4 fly. That means this is NOT a 4-season or 3.5-season tent, so don’t risk cold weather or snow in this one. Compared to single-wall tents in warmer weather though, this thing will be like a luxury hotel room with tons of mesh and ventilation. In fact, this may be my new favorite hot-weather and summer backpacking camping tent.

Half-Off Victorinox Swiss Army Knives and Multitool

Victorinox Swiss Army Locksmith knifeAlways useful when something goes wrong, all Victorinox knives and multitools are 50%, or more, off at Amazon.com this week. Some of my favorite models are the Swiss Huntsman knife with plenty of blades and tools for the outdoors, including a small saw blade, but not any extras to make it bulky or heavy. For a bit more usefullness around the house, the Swiss Deluxe Tinker knife trades in the saw blade & corkscrew for pliers & a philips-head screwdriver. The Swiss Locksmith knife is a large lockback knife that loses the scissors of the Tinker, but gains a lock on the knife blade and an inch in length.

Victorinox Swiss Army Swisstool Spirit Multi-tool Plus Free Pocket Knife If you spend enough time in the outdoors though, a multitool like the Swiss Spirit multitool comes in a lot handier than even the most feature-filled knife. That’s because after enough time in the backcountry you’ll need to do repairs on something, like a stove or water filter, and that usually means you either need a set of wrenches or a good set of pliers. Leatherman invented this type of tool, but Victorinox has taken them to the next level with super high-end, stainless steel. Plus, the Swiss Spirit multitool is marked down from $85 to $34.99.

Even though Sierra Trading Post only stocks closeouts, they have such a huge selection that it’s worth checking anytime you need hiking boots, a daypack, or even business-casual shirts for work.

Plus, click through any of the links in this post and they’ll automatically apply free ground shipping to your shopping cart once the order is $100 or more (valid until Jan. 4, 2007).
