Grabbing gear online, the way to go!

So one of the questions my friends in the city are constantly asking me is, "Where should I buy my outdoor gear?" It is not too easy in the City to find great places that have the specific outdoor gear items you are looking for, especially at a reasonable price. This becomes even more true if you looking for more technical items such as climbing shoes and rope or say a kayaking skirt. Of course there is Paragon Sports on 18th and Broadway, a plethora of Models locations and a few other specialty shops. But if those stores don't have what you are looking for, you can be somewhat out of luck.

A fantastic solution? Backcountry.com and their outlet store.


They sell everything from tents, to cycling clothes, to snow boots, to skis and snowboards, to car racks. Their customer service is great, shipping is inexpensive, they have a lot of different brands and options to choose from and they have a lenient return policy, which is always helpful when ordering by mail.

So checkout Backcountry.com out and let me know what you think.
