Online Outdoor Gear Sites
Where to shop online for outdoor equipment, clothing and gear.
You can shop from the comfort of your home or office at these online outdoor gear and equipment sites.
There are times when you HAVE to physically go into an outdoor gear store; perhaps to get a proper fit or to look over a piece of equipment you've never used before. But there are lots of other times when you can easily hit the Internet, make your purchase from an online retailer and have your purchase shipped right to your door. Below are some great choices for online outdoor gear sites.
REI.com has a huge selection of outdoor gear, some of them their own special line of products. Their site offers a variety of extras such as a gift registry for those special occasions when a Hallmark card just doesn't say it (you can create your own or search for someone else's) and REI Adventures, where you can choose trips by destination, activity type or specialty type. You can also sign up to receive REI's spectacular color catalogs of equipment, gear and clothing. They also offer an e-newsletter to keep you advised of sales, specials and news.
Backcountry.com offers a wide choice of outdoor clothing and gear. Look for their The Green Goat symbol to find gear they have highlighted as eco-friendly and which makes less of an impact on the environment. Sign up for their free online magazine, the Backcountry Newsletter.
Altrec.com also has a large compilation of outdoor equipment, clothing and gear. You can sign up for the personalized "My Store" feature and after some initial ratings by you of various products and continued visits, My Store learns your preferences and presents products tailored to those preferences, with special offers and discounts that would appeal to you and your needs. Sign up for their e-newsletter and you'll be entered in drawings to win free equipment, clothing and gear.
Campmor.com is the place to go when you can't find it anywhere else. They seem to have a limitless variety of outdoor clothing, equipment and gear. In addition you can sign up for or search their handy gift registry and submit your e-mail address for their e-newsletter, TrailMail, or request Campmor's famous digest-sized black and white catalog, which is published several times a year.
Basegear.com keeps it simple by concentrating on providing a wide array of outdoor clothing, gear and equipment.
