The best deals to shop from the Backcountry semi-annual sale
1. This 25-ounce water bottle
Hydration is important—but so is the environment. Fortunately for us, CamelBak’s popular reusable Chute Mag bottles are on sale. The 25-ounce, wide mouth bottle is sold in five colors, all of which are on sale at prices starting from $8.37, as much as 40% off the original $13.95 price. Buyers loved the magnetic lid that keeps the top from hitting them in the face when they quenched their thirst.

2. These incredibly soft leggings
If you’ve yet to experience Beyond Yoga’s cult-favorite Spacedye leggings, now’s the perfect time. The top-rated high-waisted leggings won raves from buyers for their buttery soft, quick-dry fabric that’s so stretchy it can move with any yoga pose or mountain hike without slipping down in the process. While the popular leggings are normally $97 a pair, you can snag them on sale for as little as $38.80 (depending on the color), a whopping 60% off. The one caveat? Sizes in marked-down colors are going fast.
3. A sun-blocking hat
As you plan your end-of-summer adventures, make sure sun protection is on your agenda—and we’re not just talking about SPF. With this Bora Bora Booney sun hat from Columbia, you’ll be able to shield your face (and scalp) from damaging sun rays. Even better, at $20.99, you'll be saving 30% off the original $29.99 price. Happy purchasers liked its lightweight fit and "great" sun protection, and this sunshine-colored hat comes with a wide brim, sweat-wicking inner band and drawstring chin strap.
