Campers, hikers, backpackers, and all others who appreciate nature understand the importance of “going green”. The more waste and toxins that are released quickly destroy the natural habitat of animals, vegetation, and therefore remove the beauty of the outdoors. Buying Patagonia Apparel for Men and Women helps to alleviate such destruction due to the recycled polyester used to construct the fabric. This Patagonia Flash pull over for example is a low bulk high warmth piece of camping apparel that will keep you comfortable in various weather conditions (including cold, wind, and rain) and is constructed of various recycled polyesters and spandex, which can actually be recycled if you ever want to throw it away! The pull over features an off center zip up (for chin comfort), chest zipper, and a high collar for wind protection. Sold through Altrec.com the Patagonia pieces of green gear are currently being sold at a discount for the upcoming holiday season. For any true camper out there, you know this is the only way to equip yourself against the elements, while being as Earth friendly as possible.

Eastern Mountain Sports knows that true campers feel the urge to get out into the wilderness 4 full seasons a year. To celebrate the fall, and to keep you well equipped for any day-long hike or lightweight overnight trail, EMS is currently having a great sale on their Northpeak packs. These EMS Northpeak 50 Backpacks have 3000 cubic inches of storage space, are hydration pack ready, has a removable top lid (with 2 storage compartments), and uses an expandable collar for even more storage space. At a starting 3 lbs 13 oz., this is a very light (yet highly durable) EMS pack that utilizes various “comfort zones” to reduce pressure points, sweating, and fatigue. Using an air mesh back panel the Northpeak will allow proper air-flow between your shirt/jacket and the pack, has curved EVA shoulder straps with foam inserts, adjustable sternum strap, and various aluminum stays for extra support on those heavy loads. Eastern Mountain Sport is actually selling the Northpeak 50 backpack (in both men’s and women’s versions) for 50% off their regular price! Up until 10/28 these backpacks will be selling for a rock bottom price of only $69.50. This is a great deal for any camper who is looking for a high-grade pack for any day out on the trail.
