The 25 Best Deals From Outdoor Winter Clearance Sales This Week

Now's the best time to buy winter gear. The season might be winding down, but the savings are substantial. When I got into mountain climbing years ago and had to get all the equipment, it happened to be during the annual end-of-winter sales, and I lucked into some terrific prices. Plan ahead and you too can save serious money.

Updated March 11, 2021: REI's winter clearance sale is over, but many items are still discounted. Backcountry and Moosejaw's winter sales are still going. I've crossed out sold-out items, updated pricing, and added five new deals.
