There’ve been a few changes since Andy and Opie went off fishing together in the opening credits of the classic show, Mayberry R.F.D. For one, Opie never had the opportunity to post any videos of the fish he and his sheriff dad caught on those excursions. Secondly, the father-son duo didn’t have access to a Backcountry Tahoe Sun Hoodie and Sombriolet Sun Hat from Outdoor Research to avoid the UV rays or a Yeti Tundra 45 Cooler to keep things chill. This Father’s Day, Backcountry is making it easy to leave the black and white days behind in exchange for a host of colorful accessories at 50% off.
Backcountry’s Gearheads are legendary for finding the best deals on exceptional gear. This year’s Father’s Day sale promises to set you up for whatever Gearhead adventure you dial up for dad, from cycling to camping to hiking featuring premier brands like POC, Patagonia, and Stoic. You can accessorize a current setup or create an entirely new system at epic prices.

Every type of cyclist can up his game for rides on the road and over the trails. Score the Shimano RX8 Mountain Bike Shoe or the Pearl Izumi PRO Road Cycling Shoe if you’re looking to click in and fly. The Five Ten Freerider Cycling Shoe lets you pedal with full foot mobility when rock and root rolling on the single track. However you choose to ride, POC takes care of the accessories with a POC Kortal Race MIPS Helmet and a pair of lightweight, shatterproof POC Aspire Sunglasses fitted with Zeiss Clarity lenses.
Whether or not you ride, Backcountry has your time on the trails covered. The La Sportiva TX4 Approach Shoe offers full support and, as importantly, traction for scrambling, bouldering or treading on a backpacking trip or a day hike.
Upping dad’s apparel game serves as further motivation to get out and active when summer arrives. Backcountry is putting several shorts, pants, and shirts on sale to get things going in comfort, beginning with the Backcountry Lightweight Ripstop Short or River Short. The North Face Pull-On Adventure Short is another option that is as durable as it is agile. Should you need a little more coverage, not to worry, the Backcountry Lightweight Ripstop Pant is also half off this Father’s Day.
You don’t have to hike to understand the importance of layering. Sideline coaches need as much sun protection as someone scrambling over scree on a peak ascent. Backcountry stocks every element from base to mid to over layer, beginning with the P-6 Logo Short Sleeve Responsibility T-Shirt from Patagonia. Cooler mornings and sunny days call for a Simms SolarFlex Solid Long-Sleeve Crewneck, made with COR3 Technology to reduce moisture and odor. The popular Backcountry Tahoe Sun Crew or Hoodie also offer great moisture-wicking and sun-blocking fabric, a steal at 50% off.
Even after a sun-filled day, temperatures descend swiftly in the alpine or around the campfire. Every dad will appreciate Patagonia’s Better Sweater Shirt Jacket or Nano Puff Hooded Insulated Jacket when the evening turns chilly. Constructed from fully recycled fleece, these are the perfect layers for most nights and early mornings gathering firewood or cranking up the coffee pot. The Outdoor Research Helium Rain Jacket will keep dad dry and comfortable should the skies open up. At only six ounces, you can roll the Helium jacket into its own pocket and stow it away until needed.
Like cycling and hiking, the love of camping is often passed down from father to child. Backcountry has served as camping headquarters for more than 25 years. This Father’s Day you can create a whole new camp or pick up a welcome addition like Stargaze Luxury Recliner Camp Chair from NEMO Equipment Inc. The Alps Mountaineering Core Chair will also take a load off dad’s back and knees.
Continue the comfort conversion by adding a Stoic Double Cloud Camp Bed. The Single Cloud Camp Bed is also on sale. Backcountry also has great deals from Stoic on the Madrone 4 Tent, a 4-person, 3-season tent, 20-degree Groundwork Sleeping Bag and Basecamp Bivy Double Quilt. If a smaller tent is your jam, check out Marmot’s 2-person, 3-season Tungsten Tent. The Marmot 20-F down Warmcube Gallatin Sleeping Bag is also way on sale. Finish out dad’s sleep kit with essential middle-of-the-night gear (No dad jokes please), either a Black Diamond Spot 350 Headlamp or Storm 400 Headlamp.
Whether dad’s a climber (Black Diamond Circuit Crash Pad, Black Diamond Camalot C4) or more of a lounger (Yeti Hopper Flip 12), Backcountry has the perfect gift to help him get his game on. Trusted since 1996 as the go-to resource for outdoor gear, Backcountry brings the GOAT outside with inventory from premier outfitters and exceptional customer service.
