Mountain Hardwear Sales FAQ
When is the best time to buy Mountain Hardwear gear on sale?
The three biggest sale events are Memorial Day (late May), Labor Day (early September), and Black Friday/Cyber Week (late November). These events typically offer 25-65% off on jackets, tents, sleeping bags, and other gear.
Beyond these major holidays, January brings deep winter clearance discounts, and June often features strong early-summer clearances on camping equipment. If you're patient and flexible with colors, these are your best windows for serious savings.
How often does Mountain Hardwear have sales?
Mountain Hardwear runs year-round sales through dedicated Outlet, Last Chance, and Web Specials sections on their website. These permanent sale areas feature past-season styles at up to 70% off every single day.
On top of that, the brand holds seasonal promotions and holiday sales throughout the year. You'll find the deepest discounts during major US shopping holidays, but there's always something on sale if you check the outlet section regularly.
How much discount can I expect during Mountain Hardwear sales?
Discounts vary by event and product type. The outlet and Last Chance sections regularly offer 30-70% off past-season gear. During major holiday sales like Memorial Day and Black Friday, expect 25-60% off select current-season items.
Equipment like tents and sleeping bags can hit 65-70% off during Memorial Day promotions, while premium jackets like the Ghost Whisperer typically see 25-45% discounts during end-of-season clearances.
Does Mountain Hardwear offer free shipping?
Yes, but it depends on your membership status. Elevated Rewards members get free ground shipping on all orders with no minimum purchase required in the United States. It's completely free to join the program.
Non-members can sometimes get free shipping during promotional periods, especially around the holidays. The brand occasionally runs limited-time free shipping offers (for example, through mid-December), so watch for those if you're not ready to join the rewards program yet.
What is the Mountain Hardwear Elevated Rewards program?
Elevated Rewards is Mountain Hardwear's free loyalty program available to US customers. Members get free shipping on every order, early access to the biggest sales of the year (like Memorial Day and Black Friday), members-only sales, and exclusive offers.
You'll also receive welcome and birthday gifts, plus first access to new products. There's no purchase required to join and no annual fee. If you shop at Mountain Hardwear more than once or twice a year, the free shipping alone pays for itself.
What's Mountain Hardwear's return policy?
Mountain Hardwear allows returns within 90 days of purchase for items bought on their website. Products must be unused, in like-new condition, and in the original packaging to qualify for a full refund.
Where can I find the best Mountain Hardwear deals online?
Start with the Outlet and Last Chance sections on MountainHardwear.com, where you'll find past-season styles at up to 70% off. The “Web Specials & Exclusive Offers” page also highlights products with special pricing.
Major outdoor retailers like REI, Backcountry, and specialty gear shops often include Mountain Hardwear in their seasonal sales as well. During big shopping weekends, you might find comparable or even better prices at these partner retailers.
Are Memorial Day and Labor Day sales worth waiting for?
Absolutely. Memorial Day is one of the strongest sale periods for camping equipment, with tents and sleeping bags seeing discounts of 25-65% off. It's the perfect time to buy before summer camping season starts.
Labor Day is equally valuable for fall and winter gear. Expect 25-45% off jackets, insulation, and backpacking equipment. Both events are among the three biggest sales of the year alongside Black Friday, and Elevated Rewards members get early access.
Does Mountain Hardwear gear run true to size?
Generally yes, but fit varies by style. Mountain Hardwear uses four standardized fits: Body Fit (close, body-hugging for aerobic activities), Active Fit (trim with room for layering), Standard Fit (moderate, fits over base and mid-layers), and Relaxed Fit (roomiest, with longer length).
Check the product page for the specific fit type before ordering. If you plan to layer heavily, size up one from your normal size, especially in jackets marked as “Active Fit” or “Body Fit.”
What's a good sale price for popular items like the Ghost Whisperer jacket?
The Ghost Whisperer jacket normally retails for $350. A good sale price is around $200-250 (roughly 30-43% off), which you can find during end-of-season clearances, Labor Day, or Black Friday sales.
Exceptional deals can drop it to $150 or less (55%+ off), but these are rare and usually limited to specific colors or outlet stock. For tents like the Meridian 2, look for 30-40% off during Memorial Day or summer sales. Anything over 50% off on current-season technical gear is an excellent deal.
