Up to 50% OFF Marmot Brand Clothing, Jackets, BackPacks, and More — STARTS SATURDAY

Posted on January 15, 2016 | Leave a comment

If you’ve been a reader for very long, then you might already know that we are big fans of Marmot brand athletic clothing and outdoor gear ~ REALLY great quality, but the prices are often a bit spendy at outdoor enthusiast retailers like REI and Whole Earth Provision. That’s why we want our readers to be sure and know about the Marmot sale that starts tomorrow over at LeftLane Sports. Plus, if you are new to LeftLane Sports, we’ll help you save an extra $10 on top of the sale prices.

The Marmot sale starts at 8:30AM CST on Saturday (January 16), but until then, here is a preview of some of the Marmot deals available at LeftLane right now:

:: OUR FAVORITE DEAL: Marmot Draft 20 Backpack drops to $47.95 with $10 OFF LeftLane new member credit (retails for $89) — this is a great price! We are recreational hikers and have done a lot of research on day-packs for our personal use — this is a really well-made, top-rated pack designed to comfortably carry and protect your gear for a 1-2 day hike. It’s a super-lightweight 20 Liter backpack with lots of storage, but easily compressible if you are carrying a lighter load. Also, definitely worth mentioning, it has a pocket to hold a water hydration sleeve like a CamelBak (purchased separately), external water bottle pocket, hiking pole attachments and a removable webbing waist belt. A rain cover is included and it’s available in multiple colors.

:: Marmot Women’s 1/2 Zip Pullover to $26.95 (retails for $75). With the perfect amount of warmth and stretch, the 100 weight stretch fleece and durable flat lock construction makes the Sunspot ½ Zip an ideal piece for throw-on layering.

:: Marmot Men’s E Line Packable Jacket drops to $94.45 with $10 OFF LeftLane new member credit (retails for $175). The wind and water-resistant technical fabric will complement your favorite pair of jeans or khakis — plus, it’s a great weight for our mild Texas winter weather. Jacket features a host of handy pockets including a media pocket and interior zippered pocket.

:: The Marmot sale also includes a nice selection of other men’s & women’s jackets, athletic clothing & gear, backpacks, tents, and other outdoor items. See the entire sale here.

How to get the $10 OFF LeftLane Sports credit:

..
Make your purchase before Thursday. This sale goes away on Thursday (1/20/16), so you will not want to wait! As usual with LeftLane Sports, many items do sell out quickly.

When you download the calendar, you will notice that there are 13 calendar months included, as there are two designs for the month of July – one with a July 4th theme and one with a Canada Day theme (be sure and print the one you prefer).

Use this wonderful little calendar as a practical way to liven up your desk or countertop for the year ahead!
