The post Black Friday Deals on Outdoor Gear Actually Worth the Money appeared first on Outdoor Life.

Forget Black Friday: this year, retailers are basically doing Black November. Which is honestly fine because now we have a little more time to separate out the deals that are actually steals from the fake sales from co*panies that might not exist by the time we get to December. As ever, the gear team at Outdoor Life has tracked down the most interesting deals for everything from pricey solar generators to cottage gear co*panies.

Cottage Gear co*panies

I’m stoked about the great sales that are on now from the cottage backpacking brands. If you want the real good stuff — the gear that you might end up using for the rest of your outdoor career — this is where you’ll find it. Unlike other so-called deals, they are almost never on sale, so don’t sleep on this one.

Feathered Friends is closing out some of their down jackets, including the Eos.

Katabatic is 15% off store-wide

• Not only does Katabatic make one of the best backpacking quilts, I’m currently testing one of their down jackets and I’m beyond impressed with its durability and warmth.

Six Moon Designs is 25% off store-wide

• If you’ve been struggling with the fit of your backpack, then you should absolutely pick up the SMD Swift X, which has great adjustment points that better contour to a wider variety of body types.

Gossamer Gear is up to 30% off store-wide

• I’m bummed that GG’s latest and greatest — The Whisper — isn’t part of this sale, but no matter: The One and The Two are some of the best values in trekking pole tents out there.

Slingfin is 20% off store-wide

If you are looking for even more deals on great cottage brands, Garage Grown Gear’s holiday sale is live now.
