From late August through late September, which is also my timeframe for pre-fall, many of Boulder's outdoor industry manufacturers blow out perfectly good merchandise at wholesale or lower prices.
Here are the warehouse and Labor Day sales I've learned about so far. I'll update this post as I hear about more.
- Patagonia Summer Sale - Aug 12-21 - 40-60% off select merchandise. This isn't a warehouse sale, but since it's Patagonia and they rarely offer steep discounts, it's worth mentioning. The sale is online and in the Boulder Patagonia store.
- Title Nine Blowout Sale - Aug 21-24 - Up to 60% off discontinued and overstock apparel. Location this year is near the Staples at 29th Street.
- REI Labor Day Sale - Aug 22-Sep 1 - Sales up to 30% on regular merchandise and 50% or more on super clearance items. Perennial favorite items to watch for: REI Quarter Dome T3 tent, REI Sub Kilo +20 sleeping bag, and Gregory Packs.
- SNIAGRAB - Labor Day weekend - SNIAGRAB is BARGAINS spelled backwards. Get it? Gart Sports has blown out snowsports gear on Labor Day weekend for years. SNIAGRAB is like the unofficial opening of lift ticket season. Now owned by Sports Authority, all three former Gart locations in Colorado still had SNIAGRAB last year.Don't tell anyone, but the deals on hard goods are actually better in March than September.
- GoLite Warehouse Sale - Sep 12-14 - This is the big one in Boulder. The prices are at least as good as wholesale (50% off), and it includes their entire product line, even the newest products. Don't let the line of people waiting at the entrance scare you off; it moves quickly and it's worth the wait. I have my eyes on one item this year - the Wisp Wind Shirt.
- VeloSwap - Oct 25 - Swap used bike parts and buy last season's merch at blowout prices.
