IT SEEMS that every time someone says "summer's almost here," we are cursed with a few more days of rain or cold weather, so we'll use our whisper voice to tell you that sunny days are right around the corner. And with them comes the opportunity to hike, mountain bike, camp and do just about anything to get your heart rate up while immersed in the great outdoors. Of course, that requires the right gear and clothing, though. That's where Backcountry's Memorial Day sale comes in.

The site is having a massive sale with discounts up to 50 percent off, including products from some of our all-time favorite brands like Patagonia and The North Face. The best part is that the sale covers a whole host of categories: you can snag your soon-to-be favorite pair of summer sandals while loading up on rainproof lightweight jackets for unpredictable adventure days.

Backcountry is also a great place to stock up on new adventure tools you might not have considered. Take, for example, their inflatable stand-up paddleboard or whitewater packraft: two devices that are easy to store and will provide more outdoor opportunities this year.
