Let's be honest here: Quality outdoor gear can be costly. But, of course, you don't want to skimp on equipment you need to keep you safe, warm and dry when you're exploring the great outdoors. So, you resign yourself to paying big bucks. Well, good news: Backcountry is holding a massive Presidents' Day sale on a slew of must-have merch. "Because many of us have time off over three-day weekends, retailers see an increase in foot and click traffic and offer sales to secure some of that market share," shopping expert Trae Bodge, tells Yahoo Life.

Today, you'll score markdowns of up to 60% on a wide range of items, including gear from Patagonia, the North Face, Columbia and more. These amazing sale prices won't last, and the best items won't stay in stock for long. Our advice — snatch 'em up while you can.
