Hey! Please take a sec to think before buying cool climbing gear.
Don’t buy things you don’t need or can’t afford. Consider re-slinging cams and nuts, getting new dogbones sewn in for older quickdraws, resoling your shoes, or repairing tears and rips in jackets. Ask at local climbing stores or check the gear brand’s website or social media for services. Both REI and Patagonia sell used clothes, packs, and shoes in great condition.

Patagonia Black Friday + Cyber Monday Sales
Black Friday Patagonia deals are common – last year they donated all profits from the day to outdoor causes too! However, they have been doing a similar thing to REI by closing physical stores and encouraging employees and customers to take the day outside instead.
This year they are promoting the message “Buy Less, Demand More“. In their message they encourage people to think more about their purchases. Buying only quality items means getting more use out of it and needing to buy a replacement less often. Using 100% Organic cotton, upping the amount of recycled plastic into their polyester, and continuing to work with fair trade organizations is all part of the work too.
They’re also making the amazing move of integrating their Worn Wear range into the main product pages. Meaning if you’re looking at a jacket and they’ve got a used one in stock, you have the option. You can see everything they have on offer in the Worn Wear section here.
You can check for all of their current Black Friday outdoor gear sales over here. They’ve got some big discounts on their fleeces, micro puff jackets and other puffies, and more. Consider their second hand range – used Patagonia is all the rage.

When Is Black Friday?
Black Friday is officially on the 27th of November in 2020. It’s normally the first Friday after Thanksgiving in the USA. It started as many people were with family around the time and had a day off so would be able to shop – as well as spend Holiday money.
When Is Cyber Monday?
Cyber Monday is the first Monday after Black Friday. This year it’s Monday 30th November. Cyber Monday climbing gear sales are really common as people shop more online and also now that people really shouldn’t be out in the crowds.
It started as a response to Black Friday where at the end of that month people would have had their payday as well as Holiday money and be at work browsing for things to spend it on.
Is It Worth Buying Climbing Gear On Black Friday / Cyber Monday?
As long as you aren’t spending money just to spend it – Yes! Getting a new rack for outdoor climbing can be incredibly expensive so Black Friday sales are a great way of picking up that gear that might save your life!
Climbing in winter can be harsh with the weather changes. Getting a good puffy or climbing pants at a knockdown price will save you money on something you’ll need – just at the right time.
You probably don’t need a new TV but you might need new climbing shoes you’ll actually use.
What Is A Good Deal For Black Friday + Cyber Monday?
You want to be getting at least 20% off items – if not more. Check what the prices are at other stores first as some retailers bump up the normal price then apply a discount that ends up being no different to the RRP (recommended retail price).
30% off on climbing gear is great. Any more and you’re getting an amazing deal.
