If you shop outdoors gear than you probably came across The Clymb. I really do like the idea of discounted outdoors gear especially when the quality is good, however everything has the pros and cons.
As i said i love The Clymb and i spent shit load of money buying any unnecessary crap i can think of for my ventures, but this website is very smart to trick you into the impulse buying ( as you could tell by visiting my storage). Here are couple hints from my own experience:
Never buy anything without checking the price on the other websites. Yes The Clymb has very cheap shit but some of the stuff might be little more expensive than you can find on Amazon or Backcountry (you know, the goat website) or whatever other website so check, check, check!
The cheapest gear usually is the one with odd colors or odd sizes so read up on the reviews, because that xxs salmon color fluffy cardigan might just fit you fine!
Buy everything in one setting as you might get free shipping. The Clymb has a flat fee of $7.98 per order but usually they have promotions for free shipping over x dollars. Do not make a mistake of buying $20 worth of bike tools on Monday and $31 bike shoe covers on Tuesday as it might just cost you extra $15.96 for two shipping as you could get it for free as a part of the "free shipping over $50" special.
Don't be scare to return stuff. Yes, if you are not able to find any reviews about the gear you want, and it is "one in the life time hey honey i have to have this" type of situation, than buy it! The return policy is pretty smooth and easy going. I'm usually very annoyed by hustle of returning anything but even i went on the buy and return spree couple times on the Clymb. Try to fit into the size 28 hipsters skinny jeans for 25 bucks seemed like a good idea at the time.
