Backcountry — online store for sports enthusiasts

History of Backcountry

The online store opened back in 1996, a little later than Amazon and eBay. It was founded by two young guys, John Breeze and Jim Holland, big fans of extreme sports. They knew perfectly well who sells the best gear, but buying equipment online at that time was problematic. Skis, bikes and snowboards in Backcountry were then stored in Jim’s garage in the town of Heber City. And the investment in the company amounted to only $2000.

Orders started coming in actively already in the second month, and the friends had to hire several employees who could handle them. They established connections with suppliers and expanded the product range. And after 8 years the Backcountry store became so successful that they were making a million dollars a month. Now the company employs 1400 people, and it’s an almost billion-dollar business a year! No wonder — after all, a great many fans of sports, extreme tourism and just reliable clothing in the USA buy their goods right here.

The company also partners with well-known 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 receive gear and even have their trips paid for. On the coolest trails and slopes you can sometimes meet an expert whose talent will take your breath away. And he will have Backcountry skis or a bike. After such a “fateful” encounter, a beginning athlete will certainly get interested in the pro’s equipment and choose his store.

The brand also honors the best athletes in its various core sports and organizes one of the most prestigious international skiing championships — Freeskiing World Tour.

The main categories of the store are:

• Mens — men's clothing, footwear, accessories (including hats, pants, vests, shirts, t-shirts);

You can search in any of these categories. There are very convenient filters there — by price, sizes, purpose, insulation quality and so on. They allow you to quickly narrow down the number of products from several thousand to several dozen that exactly match your requests. You can also simply enter the desired phrase in the search field.

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

Examples:

Women's down jacket DAKINE costs $41 (2665 rubles) instead of $150 (9750 rubles):

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

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

Of course, such discounts don't last long, but new ones appear instead. Therefore, shopping in the store at any time turns out to be profitable. Moreover, most of the products simply cannot be found in Russia. They are sold only in America, at Backcountry.
