Granite Gear Crown3 60L Backpack: $195 (30% off)
Thru-hikers counting the ounces can remove the ultralight Crown3’s frame sheet to shave weight to 2 pounds, or add the optional aluminum stay to push capacity to 43 pounds. This adaptable long-hauler features an easy-adjusting Re-Fit hip belt plus a lid that converts to a standalone lumbar or chest pack.
Kelty Cosmic 20 Sleeping Bag – Women’s: $139 (35% off)
This smart, affordable three-season bag for shoulder-season trips holds real warmth toward the 20°F mark instead of shifting cold spots overnight thanks to trapezoidal baffles that keep 550-fill down exactly where it belongs. A roomy, natural-fit footbox means your feet actually get to move, and dual locking zipper sliders make venting easy on warmer nights.
Osprey Wildwater 15L Dry Bag: $29 (35% off)
Fully welded seams and a double-sided TPU laminate mean this roll-top bag shrugs off actual abuse — wet rocks, riverbank drops, the works. IPX5-rated and rigged with D-rings top and bottom, this ideal multi-sport drybag straps onto boats, boards, or truck beds just as easily as it stands alone.
Altra Olympus 6 Low GTX Hiking Shoe – Men’s: $199–$209
Altra's signature wide FootShape toe box meets GORE-TEX waterproofing here, giving your feet room to spread out and stay dry through stream crossings and mud. Vibram Megagrip soles hold on wet or loose terrain, and max cushioning under a supportive collar adds comfort to marathon hiking days.
Backcountry Destination 20L Backpack: $83 (30% off)
Clean, minimal styling hides a legitimately useful daily pack that features a padded 16″ laptop sleeve, dual bottle pockets, and a zippered stash pocket. Sized right for commuting, travel, or a light trail day without looking bulky, this 100% recycled polyester ripstop pack moves seamlessly from office to trailhead.
Black Diamond Cosmo 350 Headlamp: $29 (25% off)
Already a sleek, affordable, and reliable headlamp, the Cosmo 350 adds the flexibility of Dual Fuel — meaning that it runs on either a rechargeable BD 1500 battery or AAAs in a pinch when you're off-grid longer than planned. Waterproofing is welcome, and the PowerTap one-finger switch makes changing modes painless in the dark.
Marmot Tungsten Tent – 3-Person 3-Season: $254 ($25% off)
Instead of the interior taper that perennially cramps 3-person backpacking tents, the Tungsten’s zone construction provides near-vertical walls with usable floor space. Two D-shaped doors and dual vestibules mean nobody's climbing over a tentmate at 2 a.m., and color-coded poles make setup fast even in bad light (a legitimately great shelter for groups who camp together often).
Gregory Baltoro 75L Backpack: $299 (25% off)
Gregory's FreeFloat A3 Pro suspension rotates with your stride, which meaningfully cuts the hip fatigue that wrecks long backpacking days. An AirCushion mesh backpanel ventilated on the climbs, while oversized hipbelt pockets and a front U-zip mean less digging through the main compartment of a proven expedition pack.
