Didn't know they were still around... is Chainlove also still around?
All the off shoot ones like chainlove were rolled into steep and cheap years ago. They rarely have deals as good as they used to.
I stopped checking them daily years ago. Last chainlove order in 2014. Last s&c order in 2013.
yea, i never go on unless i am on the hunt for a particular item.
Damn, now where do can I get button up shirts for $18 on close out?
Seriously, where can I? Backcountry/S&C is my go-to for adult type clothing to wear at work.

Maybe Sierra Trading Post? They usually have casual clothing for cheap...
I´ve pretty much reduced my clothes to 4-5 major standarized groups. I pretty much wear the same everyday and rotate colors at most.
Golf shirts are pretty much my standard issue everyday shirts. Adidas, porsche-design or columbia in neutral/earth colors. Can usually get them for $20-30 each..
Good call, that may be my huckleberry.
Damn you Backcountry, you had it made, good deals and a reasonably easy to navigate site, how'd you go and fuck that up?
backcountry been slipping for a while. I used to buy all kinds of stuff off steep and cheap that I didn't need. I haven't purchased anything recently. I wonder if the eight acquisition from where they had been got them on the straight and narrow? My first order was 2006.
The only time I've used them recently have been big purchases with one of their 20% coupons, swing bike hitch and tailgate pad come to mind. Universal are my normal go to.
Sierra is owned by the tj Maxx conglomerate and has been opening b&m stores
moosejaw is owned by walmart
Should I be boycotting then for some reason?
mountainsteals for now then. Or local or rei.
Right next to Applejack??
Make sure to tell them why...
Here is the portfolio of the private equity firm that runs the company: http://www.tsgconsumer.com/portfolio
Looks like Canyon bikes, Nuun, PBR, and a bunch of breweries are in there too.

Makes sense; they are a backcountry focused brand.
I sent my nasty-gram to them. Wifey knows we're done with them and Moosejaw now and she totally agrees. It's this kind of shit that will get me buying stuff locally at local stores again. Fuck the big companies that do this shit.
I will be giving up on competitive cyclist.
Sac and the rest I quit years ago.

Yes.Right next to Applejack??
There has been one close enough to walk to from my house for years. I've been to it once.
Anyone else get an invite to their new membership program?
does it include legal protection?

Last week, news broke that Backcountry is suing dozens of brands that use the word 'backcountry' in their name. And customers are outraged.

Backcountry.com faces boycotts, social media backlash over trademark lawsuits. But the company remains mum.
Backcountry.com’s legal disputes are even broader than originally thought. One Colorado gearmaker is trying to take cover by buying wildsnow.com, the snowsports blog founded by the guy who coined the term “backcountry” back in the 80s

Emails sent to Smartwool and Black Diamond because their major partnerships with BC. Plenty of folks in the suburban social circles come to me for outdoor stuff help, so this is getting distributed pretty quickly (Halloween helped too because parties). Wifey said that she's seeing it pop up on her FB, which is pretty surprising because she's not in the outdoor circles.
Second article ass clown.
