$65 - Mountainsmith Wolverine 20°F Sleeping Bag

Fall is here and with it, a ton of end-of-season clearance gear. Camping equipment has been getting les and less expensive too, here’s a good example: this Mountainsmith 20° sleeping bag is only $65 right now, but it’s a name-brand with a good warranty and a load of good features.
On top of my list are the non-slip bottom to keep you on a sleeping pad and the polyester, instead of nylon, shell fabric (Why?: it’s quieter and doesn’t rustle like nylon). The Wolverine sleeping bag is a synthetic fill and weighs about 5 pounds, in a long size, but even though it’s not ultralight it’s worth it for the cheap price and as an extra sleeping bag to keep in the trunk in case a daytrip is enough fun to turn in to a weekend overnighter.

$148 - Sierra Designs Ice Ray Polarguard 3D Sleeping Bag

Rated to 0°F, the Sierra Designs Ice Ray sleeping bag is 57% off at Sierra Trading Post right now. Add the 8% off coupon below to make it $147.15.
It’s a bigger bargain than normal because the 2-zipper design is being discontinued for next season an the bag is on clearance. The extra zipper runs down ot the hip and allows you to fold back the top-front of the bag and cook or sit around camp with your legs still inside. Odds are people didn’t do much sitting around camp at 0°, but the sleeping bag is staill a Sierra Designs with a great warranty, water resistant shell, and a relatively lght 5 pound weight for a synthetic-fill, winter bag. Click the coupon link below and search for “ice ray” to drop the price to just $147.15 until Sept. 5th.

$96 - The North Face Scorpio 40-Degree Primaloft Sleeping Bag
![]()
It’s 1 pound, 6 ounces and sports Primaloft insulation that drys quick and keeps insulating when wet and at $95.37, the Scorpio sleeping bag from The North Face is a great bag for hot, potentially rainy summer camping trips. The temp rating of 40-degrees (that’s Fahrenheit, or 4° C for those Canadian & Euro-campers who occasionally turn up here) is plenty warm for two-season use in most of the country and the bag is a lot lighter than the traditional hot-summer fall back of a fleece blanket.
Even better the Scorpio bag has free shipping and no sales tax outside of Utah from BackcountryOutlet.com.
25% off The North Face Heron 23 - 2-Person, 3-Season Tent
![]()
For years The North Face was known for expedition tents; sturdy, bright yellow, and (necessarily) heavy 4-season tents that could stand up to just about anything. After several seasons of experimenting they’ve got a 3-season backpacking winner. The Heron 23 by TNF is an ultralight 4 pound, 13 ounce shelter perfect for 3-season backpacking. The single door and vestibule keep the weight down. And although 28 square-foot floor plan is a bit short for anyone over 6′6″ the poles connect with an aluminum hub-system to create near-vertical walls and a lot more room to move around inside.
At $219.99 The North Face’s Heron 23 is a bargain for a tent this light and backed by a lifetime The North Face warranty. Icing on the cake is the free shipping and no sales tax outside of WA state from Altrec.com.

$79.50 - Mountainsmith Nitro 2-Person, 3-Season Tent

Two doors, two vestibules, and an almost 100% mesh tent body makes the Mountainsmith Nitro tent and almost perfect summer and hot weather tent. The two-pole design is the only shortcoming, with a wide 42-inch floor but a narrow upper body that may make it tough for both campers to move around a the same time. Still, the two-pole design keeps things light, the Nitro weighs only 6-pounds, 4-ounces.
Alternatively, click this link only for a 10% off + coupon. Then search for Item # 88177 and add another $20.50 to you cart to get it to $100 or more, the coupon will apply automatically to the cart when the total is $100+.

Brands excluded from the discount are Merrell, Patagonia, and Necky. Already on-sale items are also excluded. Coupon expires July 4, 2007.
$130 - Marmot Titan All-Mesh Backpacking Tent

The Marmot Titan tent is entirely mesh from the flor panels on up - for unmatched breathability on hot summer trips. It’s also only 4 pounds, 10 ounces, but still spares taller sleepers from choosing between curling up or getting cold feet with their bag pressed against the tent end, being almost 8 feet long. Rounding out this 2-person, 3-season tent (maybe only 2½-seasons unless you’re carrying a warmer sleeping bag in early spring & late fall) at Sierra Trading Post are dual doors and vestibules to keep scrambling and late-night wakeups to a minimum.
A new item a Sierra Trading Post this week, the Titan is also eligible for free shipping on $75+ orders until July 5, 2007 <<– just use that last link to apply coupon and then search for item #88182.
BackcoutryOutlet Gear Sale “It’s all on sale”
![]()
The Campalicious sale at BackcountryOutlet means all of their already marked down gear has even bigger discounts now.
I try not to post any sales where I can’t say “everything is at least 30% off”, but in this case it really does look like they’ve knowcked an extra 10-20% off most things. For example: Salomon trail hiking shoes & Vasque approach shoes (in the climbing section, who knows why?) are 50% off, there’s a 40-degree sleeping bag from The North Face for 40% off, and even their Oakley sunglasses are 35% off & some Smith sunglasses for 50% off. I’ll link to specific deals and bigger-than-normal bargains here later. In the meantime, at least go gear browsing and remember BackcountryOutlet has free shipping on all $50+ orders.
