Pick up some bargain camping gear in the mid-season sales

As you all know by now, we’re all about that bargain camping gear. And what better time to do some shopping than in January, when a lot of outdoor stores have their mid-season sales? This week on the blog we’re bringing you a quick guide to some of the outdoor gear bargains to be had over the next few days.

But before we start, it’s worth remembering… while there are definitely some bargains to be had in the sales, always do your research to see if the same product can be found cheaper anywhere else. Sometimes sneaky marketers will advertise a large percentage off a product, but it can still be found cheaper elsewhere, even at full price!

Here are our picks from the sales on at the moment:

Go Outdoors

Go Outdoors are currently offering up to 60% off the retail price of certain products. That pricing seems to include the discount you get for having their membership card – but buying one usually pays for itself with your first purchase.

Our top picks:

Mountain Warehouse

Mountain Warehouse are advertising up to 70% off, with the steepest discounts likely to be found on their own branded gear.

Our top picks:

Cotswold Outdoor

Cotswold are offering up to half price in their sale, and also offer a price match promise should you find your purchase cheaper elsewhere, for up to one week after purchase.

Our top picks:

Blacks

Blacks are advertising half price, plus for a limited time you can get an extra 15% off certain products with the discount code NEWYEAR.

Our top picks:

So…
