By the numbers
Backpacking Tents and Shelter
The sale includes several tent models, such as the REI Half Dome 2, noted for its durability and inclusion of a footprint. Other featured options include the Big Agnes Copper Spur series, which offers a bike-packing model with shorter pole segments, and Nemo's Dragonfly tents, which utilize Osmo fabric—a nylon and polyester blend designed to absorb less water than standard nylon rainflies. MSR's Groundhog stakes are also highlighted as a durable, lightweight upgrade for tent setups.
Cooking and Filtration Systems
Multiple stove systems are included in the promotion. The MSR PocketRocket Deluxe is recognized for its wind resistance and burner design, while the Jetboil Stash is noted as a lightweight all-in-one system. For larger groups, the MSR Gravity Autoflow filter is recommended for its 1.5-liter-per-minute flow rate. The MSR Guardian, a pump-style filter capable of removing viruses, is also available at a discount at Backcountry.
Apparel and Sleeping Gear
The sale covers various apparel, including Smartwool merino base layers and Fjällräven Vidda Pro trousers made from G-1000 fabric. For sleeping systems, the Bishop Pass 15 and the REI Magma 15 sleeping bags are featured for their warmth-to-weight ratios. Additionally, the Magma Trail quilt is highlighted as a budget-friendly ultralight option, and compression stuff sacks are recommended for managing gear volume.
