Outdoor markdowns worth a look.
A short, hand-picked list of outdoor gear, footwear and workwear on markdown: the things we would buy ourselves, and nothing else.
We browse the markdown sections, check the price against what the item usually sells for, and keep only what clears the bar. How we choose what to feature.
Most deal pages are long because length looks like effort. Ours is short on purpose. Each week we go through the markdown racks at the off-price outdoor stores we shop ourselves, pull out the boots, layers, packs and bottles we would put in our own cart, and list them here with the price we saw. If it is on this page, one of us wanted it. This week our picks lean on New Balance, Giro and Merrell.

A short list beats a long one. Here is the bar an item has to clear before it goes on this site, and what does not count.

September 15, 2026
How to pick a pack by volume and suspension, measure your torso, fit a hipbelt, and why an Osprey, Deuter, Gregory or JanSport in last year's colour is the same pack for less.
Down vs synthetic insulation, and what fill power really means
September 15, 2026
