Backcountry get going out of sale business

[Hausser]

As the title says backcountrygear.com is going out of business. Might be some stuff people are looking for like Hilleberg or sea to summit.

I guess their Competitive Cyclist brand is making more $$$ for them? That and the CEO's dumb move a ways back really hurt them.

Well mby not. Looks like they were looking to sell both brands:

Report: Parent of Backcountry and CompetitiveCyclist looking to sell

PARK CITY, Utah (BRAIN) — Bloomberg is reporting that TSG Consumer Partners is weighing the possible sale of Backcountry.com and its related e-commerce sites, which include CompetitiveCyclist.com.

Looks like it's www.backcountrygear.com that's going out of business and having a sale, and not www.backcountry.com. Unfortunately, I don't think Backcountry.com will be going away anytime soon even if/when they get sold to a new parent company.

I really screwed the title up, guess that’s what happens when creating a post while flying across the US.

Decent deal on Croc gaiters, YMMV on colors/sizes

Imma hold off till they start discounting more deeply, if they are truly going out of business i would think they would be discounted more than they are, will keep an eye out

Is this site actually legit? I get some fake website vibes looking at it.

Already got a tracking Number for a pair of crampons that were recommended in a gear thread. $130 pretty much everywhere else and $80ish from them
