Backcountry — an online store for sports enthusiasts

The History of Backcountry

The online store opened back in 1996, not long after Amazon and eBay. It was founded by two young guys, John Bresee and Jim Holland, big fans of extreme sports. They knew perfectly well who sold the best gear, but buying equipment online at that time was quite problematic. Back then, skis, bicycles, and snowboards at Backcountry were stored in Jim's garage in the town of Heber City. And the investment in the company amounted to only $2000.

By the second month, orders had already started coming in actively, and the friends had to hire several employees who could sort through them. They established connections with suppliers and expanded the assortment. And after 8 years, the Backcountry store became so successful that they were earning a million dollars every month. Today, the company has 1400 employees, and it is a business worth almost a billion dollars a year! No wonder — after all, a great many fans of sports, extreme tourism, and simply reliable clothing in the USA buy their goods right here.

The company also works with famous athletes. Since 2008, it has had an interesting sponsorship program: professional climbing stars, bikers, skateboarders, and many others wear clothing with the distinctive “horned” logo, and in return they are given gear and even have their travel paid for. On the most awesome trails and descents, you can sometimes meet an expert whose talent will take your breath away. And he will have Backcountry skis or a bicycle. After such a “fateful” meeting, a beginner athlete will surely become interested in the professional's gear and choose his store.

The brand also rewards the best athletes in its various specialized sports and is the organizer of one of the most prestigious international skiing championships — Freeskiing World Tour.

And be sure to look at the More menu at the top of the product listing page and select the Percent Off option. This will show you the items that currently have the biggest discount. All of these discounts are real, and they are often as much as 75-80%. Products that usually cost thousands of rubles are sold for a few hundred. A very convenient way to immediately choose the best deal in the section you are interested in.

Examples:

A women’s DAKINE down jacket costs $41 (2665 rubles) instead of $150 (9750 rubles):

Men’s Merrell Wilderness boots cost $120 (7800 rubles) instead of $400 (26 000 rubles)

At Backcountry, Dynastar Legend skis cost $290 (18 850 rubles) instead of $650 (42 250 rubles)

Of course, such discounts do not last long, but new ones appear instead. That is why shopping at the store is profitable at any time. Moreover, most of the products simply cannot be found in Russia. They are sold only in America, at Backcountry.
