<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
PlanetGear is another limited time, deep discount (up to 70% off), shopping site for outdoor folks. They operate on the membership model where you must be a member to join,\u00c2\u00a0but you can relax, membership simply means that you have created a free account with them.<\/p>\n
According to their site they offer “gear, apparel, and travel destinations at prices up to 70% off on most leading outdoor brands. Sale events start daily at 8:00am PST and last up to 72 hours.”<\/p>\n
I heard about PlanetGear because Tawnee Madlen and Veronique Markewitz (founder) emailed me. I checked their site out and noted that they seemed to have a female centric offering (at the time it was all female apparel\/gear being featured). Now they have stuff for men, women and kids up.<\/p>\n
I emailed them back and asked them when they had started since I hadn’t seen them around before, “We started on April 2nd [2011], because we didn’t want to be a joke and start on the 1st.”<\/p>\n
I also learned their first sales were “Mountain hardware and Ski Utah (it was a backcountry expedition tour)” which supports their claim to offer travel as well as gear deals.<\/p>\n
PlanetGear is also a member of 1% for the Planet and is working with IMBA (International Mountain Biking Association) to raise money to preserve trails and IOWC. All good stuff in my book.<\/p>\n
Lastly, the ladies also wanted to extend a prize to the Rockgrrl community, a $30 credit<\/strong> to use as you wish! Comment on what your favorite item is from any of PlanetGear’s currently offered sales.<\/p>\n Winner will be chosen by a random drawing.<\/p>\n You can comment on this post or on the Rockgrrl Facebook FanPage<\/a>.<\/p>\n If you do both you’ll get two chances at winning.<\/p>\n You must comment by midnight, PST, Tuesday, May 17th.

Disclosure: If you use my invite link you’ll get a $10 credit<\/strong> when you place your first order and I’ll also get a $10 credit<\/strong> at the same time.<\/p>\n You can also just sign up without an invite from their homepage.<\/p>\n Right now PlanetGear is featuring Kelty and Rossignol, but next week I hear they’ll have Sierra Designs and K-Swiss so I’m sure you’ll still be able to spend your credit on good gear if you win.<\/p>\n PlanetGear is also on Twitter<\/a> and Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n Now, go ahead and show me the gear you’d like to get and maybe you’ll get some credit to buy it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" PlanetGear is another limited time, deep discount (up to 70% off), shopping site for outdoor folks.
