Sierra (formerly Sierra Trading Post)
Best for: Closeouts and factory seconds, online and in stores
Sierra is part of the TJX family of stores, alongside TJ Maxx and Marshalls. It sells closeouts, overstock and factory seconds from outdoor brands, and has physical stores if you'd rather try things on. We don't track Sierra's prices yet, so it has no live deals on this page.
REI Outlet
Best for: REI's past-season and overstock gear
REI Outlet is the clearance section of rei.com, with past-season and overstock products from the brands REI carries. We don't track REI prices yet, so it has no live deals on this page.
How to get the most out of outlet and discount sites
Closeouts vs. seconds
Closeouts are new, first-quality items that are being discontinued or cleared out. Factory seconds have a small cosmetic flaw and are usually priced lower. Both can be great buys, but the product page should say which one you're getting.
Check the same item at more than one store
The same jacket or pack is often on sale at two or three of these stores at different prices. Our product pages show every retailer we track for an item, so you can see the lowest price before you click through.
Be flexible on color and model year
The deepest discounts are usually on last season's colors or the previous version of a product. If the specs haven't changed, the older version is often the better deal.
Read the return policy before you buy
Return rules for clearance and outlet items can differ from full-price purchases, and they vary by store. Check before you order, especially for footwear where fit matters.
