With winter adventures and next year’s hiking season to think about, now is the perfect time to snag up to 50% off at the Backcountry Cyber Sale (11/26 – 11/30). You’ll find exciting deals from brands like Altra, Patagonia, Marmot, Arc’teryx, and Black Diamond.

Be warned, though: this sale is MASSIVE. That’s why we saved you time by searching out all the best hiking-specific deals. From baselayers to the Big Three, there are some real gems here. Read through to the end to see the best hiking goodies featured in the Backcountry Cyber Sale.

Base Layers

Smartwool Merino 250 | Up to 50% Off

  • Reg. $110 (Bottoms 30% Off; Reg. $100)
  • 100% Merino Wool

Merino wool is soft against the skin (not itchy like wool from the days of yore) and helps keep you warm when wet from rain, snow, or sweat. That makes it ideal for a next-to-skin layer at camp and on-trail.

Smartwool IntraKnit Merino 200 Base Layers | Up to 39% Off

  • Reg. $120
  • 53% Merino Wool

Smartwool’s IntraKnit baselayers use a blended fabric that includes polyester and elastane alongside merino wool. This garment has all the warmth of merino wool but is stretchier and more breathable for use during heavy activity.

Backcountry Merino Baselayer 1/4-Zip Top | Up to 65% Off

  • Reg. $109.95
  • 91% Merino Wool

Backcountry’s in-house merino base layers provide all the warmth and functionality of premium merino wool at a steep discount during the Backcountry Cyber Sale. And the quarter-zip front adds a touch of temperature control that standard crewneck tops lack.

Mid Layers

Arc’Teryx Cerium LT Hooded Down Jacket  | Up to 30% Off

  • Reg. $379.99
  • 10.4 oz.
  • 850 fill down

Three ounces of ultra-lofty down make this jacket deliciously warm and remarkably lightweight. Our favorite feature? The creative use of synthetic fill in the cuffs, hood, armpits, and other areas at high risk of getting wet.

Mountain Hardwear Ghost Whisperer 2 Hooded Down Jacket | Up to 40% Off

  • Reg. $324.95
  • 8.8 oz.
  • 800 fill down

The much-coveted Ghost Whisperer is the ultimate in ultralight puffy jacket technology. If you’re looking to go ultralight without freezing your ass off on-trail, this is the jacket to get. And with a whopping 40% discount during the Backcountry Cyber Sale, now’s the time to act.

Patagonia Down Sweater Full-Zip Hooded Jacket | Up to 30% Off

  • Reg. $279
  • 16.1 oz.
  • 800 fill down

Patagonia is generous with their 800-fill down in this classic puffy. It’s super lofty and super warm—what more could you want?

Patagonia Synchilla Lightweight Fleece Pullover | Up to 50% Off

backcountry cyber sale

  • Reg. $119
  • 12.8 oz.

Puffies are fantastic, but sometimes you need a fleece midlayer. This snap-up fleece from Patagonia features recycled polyester and delightfully dorky retro-inspired patterns that fall firmly in the category of hiker trash-chic.

Patagonia Nano Puff Jacket | Up to 30% Off

  • Reg. $199
  • 12.8 oz.
  • PrimaLoft synthetic fill

Warm and light, the ultra-packable Nano Puff is the quintessential synthetic puffy jacket for hiking. This jacket is decently affordable at full price, and even more so during the Backcountry Cyber Sale.

Headlamps

Black Diamond Spot 350 Headlamp | 25% Off

backcountry cyber sale

  • Reg. $39.95
  • 3.9 oz.

With multiple beam patterns, several brightness settings (including red), a locking mechanism, and a battery indicator light, this fully featured headlamp has it all. No wonder it’s so popular among thru-hikers.

Petzl Actik Core Headlamp | Up to 25% Off

backcountry cyber sale

  • Reg. $69.95
  • 2.8 oz.

The Actik Core is about an ounce lighter than the Spot (above). It has multiple brightness settings and a red light feature but no locking mechanism. Its big claim to fame is that it works with either AAA batteries or a USB rechargeable battery (whereas most headlamps can only use one or the other).

Bi0lite 330 Headlamp | 25% Off

backcountry cyber sale

  • Reg. $59.95
  • 2.4 oz.

It’s lightweight, bright, fully-featured, and it comes in fun colors. Check out our review here.

Cookware

MSR PocketRocket 2 Stove | 25% Off

backcountry cyber sale

  • Reg. $44.95
  • 4.2 oz.
  • 3.5 min. to boil 1L

This quintessential isobutane canister stove keeps a low profile in your pack. It does one job (boil water), and it does it exceptionally well, making this a go-to stove for many backpackers.

MSR Titan Titanium Kettle| 25% Off

backcountry cyber sale

  • Reg. $59.95
  • 4.2 oz.

Titanium cookware is lighter than aluminum and won’t impart a metallic taste to your food. This kettle has plenty of capacity (850 mL) and features a convenient pour spout.

Sleeping Pads

NEMO Tensor Sleeping Pad | 25% Off

  • Reg $154.95
  • 12 oz.
  • 35 – 45F

This banana yellow mummy pad provides cushy comfort and a modest amount of insulation for only a 12-ounce weight penalty. It’s best for summer use.

Sea to Summit Ultralight Sleeping Pad | Up to 25% Off

backcountry cyber sale

  • Reg. $129.95
  • 14 oz.
  • R-value: 0.7

The Sea to Summit Ultralight is another backpacker favorite. It’s thinner than most inflatables and has a low R-value, but it’s still comfy and durable enough to last thousands of miles.

Klymit Insulated Static V Ultralite Pad | 30% Off

backcountry cyber sale

  • Reg. $119.95
  • 16 oz.
  • R-value: 4.4

Klymit’s distinctive V-shaped baffles have a touch of synthetic insulation to boost this pad’s warmth and comfort. Most exciting of all: Klymit claims their twist-pull valve makes for easy inflation in as few as seven breaths.

Klymit Insulated Hammock V | 30% Off

backcountry cyber sale

  • Reg. $169.95
  • 40 oz.
  • R-value: 4.4

Staying warm in a hammock is a significant struggle, especially when your pad keeps slipping out from under you. Klymit designed this odd-shaped pad with hammockers in mind. It has flaps on the sides that hug the user’s body. That (theoretically) means no more cold butts ‘n’ elbows.

Sleeping Bags / Quilts

Therm-a-Rest Oberon 0F Down Sleeping Bag | Up to 25% Off

backcountry cyber sale

  • Reg. $509.95
  • 36 oz.
  • 800 fill hydrophobic down

Winter is coming fast, and that means it’s time to beef up your camping gear so you can stay warm as the mercury drops. There’s nothing quite as empowering or luxurious as having a warm-enough sleeping bag on a cold night, after all. This offering from Therm-a-Rest is remarkably lightweight and deliciously poofy.

Marmot Lithium 0F Down Degree Sleeping Bag | 30% Off

backcountry cyber sale

  • Reg. $511.95
  • 42 oz.
  • 800+ fill water-resistant down

Full disclosure: there are A TON of Marmot sleeping bags featured in the Backcountry Cyber Sale. What you see here is but a sample of the riches available on Backcountry.com. The Marmot Lithium bag features water-resistant down, an essential feature for cold nights where tent condensation is all but guaranteed.

Therm-a-Rest Corus HD 32F Down Quilt | 25% Off

backcountry cyber sale

  • Reg. $239.95
  • 20 oz.
  • 650 fill hydrophobic down

Quilts are all the rage these days, and with good reason. By eliminating the hood, zippers, and upper back, quilts can reduce weight and pack volume significantly while maintaining plenty of insulation where you need it most.

Shelters

MSR Hubba NX 1P Tent | 25% Off

  • Reg. $379.95

This best-selling design from MSR may not be the lightest, but it’s luxuriously roomy and has withstood the test of time. If you’re a sucker for the classics, this is the tent for you.

NEMO Hornet 1P Tent | 25% Off

backcountry cyber sale

ENO DoubleNest Hammock | 25% Off

  • Reg. $69.95
  • 20 oz.

Exciting retro colors + plenty of room for two people to hang together = really awesome hammock. At just 20 ounces, this bad boy is light enough to bring along on short trips as a luxurious can seating option. Or you could pair it with a bug net and tarp to make a fully enclosed shelter.

Backpacks

Osprey Aeriel AG 65L Pack | 25% Off

backcountry cyber sale

  • Reg. $310
  • 77 oz.

Osprey is one of the biggest names in backpacks (and with good reason). Their trampoline-style suspension keeps the pack away from your back and promotes airflow. These bomb-proof packs have plenty of pockets, zippers, and straps to store all your gear. The intuitive design also makes it a great starter pack for newbie backpackers.

Osprey Aether AG 60L Pack | 25% Off

backcountry cyber sale

  • Reg. $290
  • 82 oz.

The Aether is essentially the men’s version of the Ariel (above). Like its female counterpart, it’s famously comfortable and beloved by backpackers and thru-hikers alike.

Granite Gear Crown 2 60L Pack Limited Edition| 30% Off

backcountry cyber sale

  • Reg. $199.95
  • 37 oz.

Fixing for a lighter load? At just over two pounds, this pack still offers a generous 60 liters of storage capacity. It has a removable brain and plenty of straps and pockets on the outside for additional storage, too. Although some hikers love the standard version’s muted tones, we think this color-blocked limited edition is downright exciting.

Footwear

Salomon X Ultra 3 Hiking Shoe | 25% Off

backcountry cyber sale

  • Reg. $119.95
  • 12.8 oz.

It’s lightweight, breathable, and Salomon’s unique QuickLace system means you’ll never waste time fumbling with untied laces again. That last point alone is enough to have us sold.

Inov 8 Roclite G350 Hiking Shoe | 25% Off

  • Reg. $154.95
  • 12.3 oz.

This up-and-coming hiking shoe features a graphene-enhanced outsole that’s said to be extraordinarily grippy and more durable than the competition. Check out our review of the Roclite G275 here.

Keen Targhee III Waterproof Hiking Shoe | Up to 30% Off

backcountry cyber sale

  • Reg. $139.95

If you need a bit more stability and protection in your footwear, the somewhat beefier Keen Targhee III might appeal. It’s not heavy like a boot, but it does offer a little more support than ultralight trail runners. We’re not always advocates of waterproof footwear, but this feature can provide extra warmth and protection from snowmelt and shallow puddles in winter and early spring.

Miscellaneous

Smartwool Hike Medium Crew Sock | 20% Off

  • Reg. $19.95
  • 66% Merino Wool

You can never have too many hiking socks, after all. Smartwool is a longtime classic, and its durability speaks for itself (we still have several decades-old pairs of Smartwools kicking around our sock drawers).

MSR Mini Groundhog Tent Stake Kit | 25% Off

backcountry cyber sale

  • Reg. $19.95
  • 0.35 oz. / stake, six stakes included

Sadly, many tents don’t come with stakes included. Even more sadly, stakes can be both stupidly expensive and surprisingly heavy. MSR’s mini Groundhogs are the go-to option for lightweight stakes at just a third of an ounce each, and if you snag ’em during the Backcountry Cyber Sale, your wallet won’t hate you as much.

Garmin InReach Mini | 29% Off

  • Reg. 349.99
  • 3.5 oz.

Peace of mind in a compact, adorable package. This sub-four-ounce GPS beacon is loaded with features, including two-way text communication, the ability to check the weather through the satellite network, and the all-important SOS button.

Black Diamond Trail Ergo Cork Trekking Poles | 25% Off

  • Reg. $129.95
  • 18 oz.

Love them or hate them, trekking poles are dead useful. They take some pressure off your joints, give you extra power and stability, and can be used to set up ultralight non-freestanding shelters. These ones are durable, telescope so you can adjust the height to your liking all day long, and feature a cork grip (this is supposed to help prevent blisters).

Sea to Summit Aeros Premium Pillow | 25% Off

backcountry cyber sale

  • Reg. $47.95

Rather than laying your head on a squashy bag of sweaty hiking clothes, why not rest on this minimalist inflatable cushion? It’s hard to overstate how delightful a nice, cushy inflatable pillow is after a long day on the trail. This bad boy makes an excellent backpacking luxury item (and a great gift for the hiker in your life).
