If you’re shopping for a good sleeping bag (or other camping gear) this is the time of season when you can get the best bargains because with the new styles being introduced to the market many of the existing styles are being offered on discount or closeout, and with these deals you can often purchase a high quality sleeping bag for half the cost it was a few months ago. Same sleeping bag, same quality, but discounted to make room for the years new inventory.
There are several retailers that are recognized as specialists in discounted and closeout outdoor gear; they are Sierra Trading Post, Altrec, and REI. I choose these retailers as the best places to go for discount sleeping bag and tent purchases because they specialize in outdoor gear only.
Sierra Trading Post is on the shortlist of the outdoor gear specialists and they currently work with more than 1000 vendors who look to Sierra Trading Post first when they have closeouts to sell. Among vendors are The North Face, Kelty, Eureka, Marmot, Slumberjack, Alps Mountaineering, Mountain Hardwear. It’s my favorite place to go for sleeping bag closeouts.
Altrec.com launched in March 1999 with the belief that spending time outside promotes a healthy, happy life. After so many years as a successful outdoor recreation specialists retailer they too have developed a great reputation for offering a vast selection of discounts and closeouts on high quality sleeping bags, tents and other outdoor gear. On top of closeout prices they also offer free shipping on many items.
REI understands the importance of quality outdoor gear and they stand behind all their products with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. Whether you’re new to outdoor lifestyle or have been around for a while you should use REI as one of your specialty outdoor gear retailers. They have great selections in sleeping bag discounts and closeouts. Most serious outdoor enthusiasts look to REI as an outdoor gear specialists.
