Updated on Tuesday, November 18, 2025: Backcountry’s Black Friday Sale is already underway, exclusively for Summit Club Members, so here’s everything you need to know to make the most of it.

When Does the Sale Start & End?

Backcountry’s Black Friday 2025 sale began today at backcountry.com and it will run through Tuesday, December 2, 2025, at 11:59 pm MT (that’s the day after Cyber Monday). That gives you about two weeks to shop. Keep in mind that Backcountry operates on a while-supplies-last basis, so if there’s something you’ve been eyeing, it’s best to act quickly before stock runs out.

What’s On Sale This Year?

This year Summit Club Members can enjoy up to 30% off full-price items, with some exclusions. Offer is valid once per transaction and for one-time use only, and excludes gift cards, charitable contributions, taxes, shipping, group sales, special-order handling charges, and previous purchases. There’s no cash value, substitutions, or rainchecks, and the offer is limited to stock on hand.

In addition to the member-exclusive savings, shoppers can also find up to 70% off in Backcountry’s clearance section. This is where you can score big discounts on a variety of winter gear, apparel, and accessories.

What You’ll Find

Here’s a breakdown of the types of items you can expect to find on sale:

  • Winter Jackets and Outerwear: Insulated jackets, down parkas, rain shells, and fleece-lined layers from brands like Patagonia, The North Face, and Arc’teryx.
  • Camping and Hiking Gear: Backpacks, tents, sleeping bags, and accessories like camp stoves and hydration packs.
  • Footwear: Hiking boots, trail running shoes, and winter boots from top brands such as Salomon, Merrell, and Danner.
  • Clothing and Accessories: Thermal base layers, flannels, gloves, hats, and socks—perfect for layering as the weather cools down.
  • Ski and Snowboard Gear: Discounted ski jackets, snow pants, goggles, and snowboards from brands like Burton and Smith Optics.

Extra Perks for Summit Club Members

If you’re a Summit Club Member, this sale is your exclusive chance to grab up to 30% off full-price items, plus clearance deals. On top of that, members earn points on every purchase, which can later be redeemed for discounts on future orders. Summit Club membership is free to join, so signing up now will immediately unlock the sale savings.

Big 5 Sporting Goods Black Friday 2025 Sale – The Ad is Posted!

Leave a comment

Updated on Tuesday, November 18, 2025: Big 5’s Black Friday 2025 ad just arrived early this mornin! You can check out all 7 pages posted below. If you’re planning to shop there this year, here’s what you can expect in terms of sale dates, discounts, and the best deals to look out for here in 2025.

When Will Big 5 Sporting Goods’ Black Friday 2025 Sale Start and End?

Big 5 Sporting Goods’ Black Friday 2025 event is kicks off in stores on Friday, November 28, 2025, running from 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM, or while supplies last. Unlike many other major retailers that start their sales weeks in advance, Big 5 traditionally holds onto the classic Black Friday timing, making in-store shopping the primary way to access their biggest discounts.

Beyond Black Friday itself, Big 5 is also known for running additional promotions throughout the weekend and into the following week:

  • 3-Day Coupon Deals (running Friday, November 28 – Sunday, November 30, 2025): Special promotions that require in-store coupons.
  • Weeklong Sale Prices (running Friday, November 28 – Friday, December 5, 2025): Some sale items will be available beyond the initial rush, both in-store and online, but selections are usually more limited.

Additionally, Big 5 Sporting Goods follows the industry trend of closing all stores on Thanksgiving Day (Thursday, November 27, 2025), so plan accordingly.

How Good Are Big 5’s Black Friday Deals?

One thing to keep in mind is that Big 5’s advertised “regular prices” may not always reflect actual sale history. Their Black Friday ads often include fine print stating that “regular prices are offering prices only and may not have resulted in sales.” This means that some discounts might not be as significant as they appear. It’s always a good idea to compare prices with other retailers like Bass Pro Shops, Cabela’s, and Sportsman’s Warehouse, which often have better Black Friday discounts.

If you’re looking for the absolute best deals, it’s worth checking competitor ads before making a purchase. That said, Big 5 still provides some solid bargains, especially for those who prefer to shop in person rather than online.
