The best deals to shop from the Backcountry semi-annual sale
1. This 25-ounce water bottle
Hydration is essential—but so is the environment. Fortunately for us, CamelBak’s popular reusable Chute Mag bottles are on sale. The 25-ounce, wide-mouth bottle is sold in five colors, all of which are on sale at prices starting from $8.37, as much as 40% off the original $13.95 fee. Buyers loved the magnetic lid that kept the top from hitting them in the face when they quenched their thirst. Get the CamelBak Chute Mag Bottle from $8.37 (Save $3.49 to $5.58)
2. These incredibly soft leggings
Now’s a perfect time if you’ve yet to experience Beyond Yoga’s cult-favorite Spacedye leggings. The top-rated high-waisted leggings won raves from buyers for their buttery soft, quick-dry fabric that’s so stretchy it can move with any yoga pose or mountain hike without slipping down. While the famous leggings are normally $97 a pair, you can snag them on sale for as little as $38.80 (depending on the color), a whopping 60% off. The one caveat? Sizes in marked-down colors are going fast. Get the Beyond Yoga Spacedye Caught in the Midi High-Waisted Legging from $38.80 (Save $14.55 to $58.20)
3. A sun-blocking hat
As you plan your end-of-summer adventures, ensure sun protection is on your agenda—and we’re not just talking about SPF. With this Bora Bora Booney sun hat from Columbia, you can shield your face (and scalp) from damaging sun rays. Even better, at $20.99, you’ll save 30% off the original $29.99 price. Happy purchasers liked its lightweight fit and “great” sun protection, and this sunshine-colored that comes with a wide brim, sweat-wicking inner band, and drawstring chin strap. Get the Columbia Bora Bora Booney II Hat for $20.99 (Save $9)

Usually $599.95, the wind- and water-resistant, 500-fill down jacket is available for as much as 50% off in select colorways, starting at $299.95. No matter which colors you pick, this coat is ready for anything—ask the reviewer who wrote, “I live in northern Michigan where winters are brutal, and so far, this is the best [jacket] I’ve owned.” Get the Fjallraven Singi Down Jacket from $299.98 (Save $269.98 to $299.97)

Get The North Face HMLYN Insulated Jacket for $91.98 (Save $137.97)
6. A versatile 3-in-1 coat
If you have a small closet or prefer versatile items, this Helly Hansen 3-in-1 coat will make you swoon—and its stylish camo colorway is 45% off, so it can be yours for $192.50 instead of $350. This longline coat can be worn assembled to take on heavy snowstorms and strong wind gusts, or it can be separated to serve as a rain jacket or standalone insulated coat. Reviewers loved its stylish lines, slim cut and protective warmth and rain protection, as well as its “huge” pockets—between the shell and the jacket, there are eight different places to store your phone, wallet, and keys (not to mention your cold hands). Get the Helly Hansen Rigging Coat for $192.50 (Save $157.50)
7. These waterproof, fleece-lined boots
As you begin to think about fall and winter, outfitting your wardrobe with at least one pair of warm waterproof boots is always a good idea.

The fleece-lined boots feature a waterproof leather exterior, EVA midsole, and the brand’s Quantum Grip soles for optimal comfort, regardless of weather or terrain. All three colors are on sale for almost $100 off the $159.95 list price, starting at just $66.72. Get the Merrell Haven Mid Lace Polar Waterproof Boot from $66.72 (Save $93.08 to $93.23)

If you hate cold weather, you’ll likely want to do anything and everything to feel as little of it as possible come winter. To the rescue? This Smartwool women’s baselayer. Made with merino wool, these lightweight leggings effectively insulate your bottom half so your legs remain warm even in the lowest temps. Reviewed editors love Smartwool’s cozy socks, and like the socks, this bottom uses the brand’s signature merino for maximum insulation. Price varies by color, with some shades starting at $50, a complete 50% off the $100 list price. Get the Smartwool Merino 250 Baselayer Bottom from $50 (Save $25 to $50)

(The hoodie also comes in a bleached sand hue, which isn’t on sale.).
