IT'S OUR ANNIVERSARY!!
This month we're officially 9 years old! There's no community we'd could be more proud to be a part of than downtown Easton. To celebrate and thank you for your support, we'll be running a 20% off Anniversary sale all weekend long, October 16th through 18th. This Friday, Saturday and Sunday, get 20% off on all non-clearance apparel and merchandise! Currently, our website inventory isn't fully updated, so the best selection will be in-store.
NEW IN STORE
We're excited to bring in new inventory from Tentree, The North Face, Stanley and many more of your favorite brands. We're stocking up with holiday gift-giving in mind- nothing wrong with getting a headstart!
New Stanley Brand coolers, travel mugs, flasks, food jars, stacking pints and more are perfect presents, especially for campers! But, you don't have to be an avid camper to appreciate the French press, or the "Admiral's Mug" (which looks like your own personal coffee pot!). There's also ready to go gift sets that help take the guesswork out of holiday shopping.
From Tentree, we have tons of new products and apparel, like hats, hoodies, button-downs and t-shirts. Plus, new extra cozy socks, wallets, water bottles, mugs and more. As always, Tentree is one of our favorite brands, because it's made from sustainable materials. For every one article of clothing or item you purchase, the company plants ten trees.
COAT DRIVE
Overdue for a new winter coat? Donate your clean, gently worn coat to us to receive 15% off a new one! There's plenty of new jackets, flannels, fleeces, coats and pants for men and women from brands like The North Face and Patagonia. Our Annual Winter Coat Drive takes place all fall and winter long. Your old coat will be donated to local Easton Organizations!
Our 40% off Summer clearance sale is also still going on while supplies last! Along with our 20% off Anniversary Sale, right now is the perfect time to get an early start on your holiday shopping. Our weekend hours are Friday and Saturday 10am to 8pm and Sunday 11am-5pm.
Thank you for 9 amazing years!

Helinox is a brand fairly new to Easton Outdoor. We were excited to add it to our inventory just a few months ago.
Helinox is mainly a line of extremely lightweight, compact and comfortable camping chairs. They weigh in at between around 1 and 4 lbs and fold into a nice compact bag. They're also very durable, making them ideal for any and all weather conditions. This also means they are a breeze to clean- just give them a spray down with ahose. The chairs are so easy to fold, pack up, carry, and travel with in general, you'll be taking them with you everywhere.
Helinox camping chairs are equally simple to store as they are to set up. They're compact enough to keep stored in your backpack, car or closet. It frees up plenty of space for everything else you're bringing on your trip, or need to store away.
All this and more is what we love about Helinox, and why we felt so compelled to be able to offer the brand to our customers! We know you're always looking for ways to improve your camping and backpacking experiences. One of these foldable chairs is guaranteed to do just that.
Not to get ahead of ourselves, but it's never too early to start thinking about Christmas! The outdoor enthusiast on your list would be thrilled to receive a Helinox camping chair as a gift this year.
Why is fall the best time of the year for camping?
1. The beautiful autumn foliage makes it the most picturesque season.
2. Cooler days and nights can make camping a lot more pleasant. The weather is also usually more usually more predictable. You're also more likely to get a good night's sleep.
3. Less mosquito & other bugs to swat away.
4. Warm drinks and food are perfect for the cool weather. Make a toasty fire and enjoy!

SUMMER CLEARANCE SALE
We're welcoming the new month by kicking off our Summer Clearance Sale. All summer 2020 men and women's apparel and footwear are now 40% off!
There's still a great selection of shorts, t-shirts, short sleeve button-downs, tank tops, sundresses, flip flops, sandals and more in store and online. We have plenty of warm weeks ahead of us, so whether you're buying for now or next year, you're shopping smart.

Super soft, lightweight hoodies and fleeces are sure to become some of your wardrobe staples this autumn. They're perfect for when warm late summer days turn into cool nights.
DAYLITE BY OSPREY
Also new are the latest colors and styles from the Daylite Series of Osprey backpacks. The Daylite Series are an uncomplicated, yet awesome collection of lightweight backpacks starting at only $50. They're great on their own, or can be attached to a variety of compatible Osprey backpacks. You can expect a comfortable, durable pack that will last for years to come and is likely to become your go-to for all kinds of travel!
Some styles are available online, but to see our entire collection, we recommend stopping by in person. It's a great way to try on a few styles to make sure you find the right fit.
One of the best things we look forward to each autumn is the fall foliage. There's no better way to take it in than through a hike on one of the Lehigh Valley's numerous trails. Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor has a great map organized by town. Check it out here!
New fall apparel will continue to roll out over the next several weeks. The store is open Tuesday through Thursday, 10am to 7pm, Friday and Saturday 10am to 8pm, and Sunday from 11am to 5pm. Stop by soon!

Spending time outdoors is extremely important for both our mental and physical health. Now more than ever, we need to put extra focus on our mental well-being. Our "normal" way of life has been turned upside down, and stress and anxiety are at an all-time high for many us. Luckily, there's something you can still do, in spite of the pandemic, to help keep your mind and body healthy and keep your stress in check- get outside.
Countless studies show that going outdoors and spending time in nature improves cognitive function, lowers stress, improves creative thinking, and leads to an overall mood boost. It allows us to relax and restore. Almost instantly, being outdoors can have a positive effect on your mental state. So, turn off Netflix, put your phone away, and go outside!
How we can help:
At Easton Outdoor Company, all things outdoor are our specialty. We have many things in-store and online that will help you explore, simply just enjoy, the outdoors more.
Hammocks
ENO hammocks are an awesome way to kick back and relax, whether you're backpacking or just hanging in the backyard. On a budget? Hammocks start at just 49.99 for a SingleNest style, so it's a super affordable option.
Camping & Hiking Gear
Unfortunately, lots of summer vacation plans have been called off or postponed due to current travel restrictions. If you've been considering a family camping trip, now is the time! We're here to help if you need any guidance or advice on how to make it a fun and successful trip. BioLite cooking equipment doubles as solar charging station, which makes it perfect for both novice or expert campers. We also have Big Agnes sleeping bags, portable and lightweight camping chairs from Helinox, and hiking backpacks from Osprey and Deuter. It's a great opportunity to get away with family or friends and connect with nature at the same time.
Goodr Sunglasses
Take your cardio out of the gym and onto the street or trail! A good old fashioned run or brisk walk burns tons of calories and releases those endorphins you need right now. Keep the blazing summer sun out of your eyes with non-slip, polarized Goodr sunglasses! We're offering 10% off with promo code Insta10 all summer long. There are so many fun colors and patterns to choose from. Plus, we have new styles in as well. Grab your mask and head into the store to test a few pairs out!

Earth Day turns 50
This year is the 50th Anniversary of Earth Day. The observance was created in 1970 by Wisconsin Senator Gaylord Nelson to bring awareness to environmental issues and drive change.
Even under the unique circumstances we find ourselves in right now, there are still ways to honor this day! If you can, get outside for a while for a walk, run, bike or hike- just keep in mind social distancing guidelines. Gardening is another great way to celebrate Earth Day. Or, further educate yourself by watching Eco-documentaries on Netflix. Click here for a list.
TenTree
Tentree is one of our favorite brands for a few reasons. For one, their apparel and accessories are made from sustainable materials. It’s stylish and trendy, yet comfortable and functional.
For every piece of apparel or product you buy, TenTree plants 10 trees. So far, your purchases of TenTree products from Easton Outdoor have planted over 4,000 trees! As of today, the company has planted over 42 million trees in total.
Help the brand reach their goal of 1 billion trees by 2030! We have hats, hoodies, flannels, dresses, tanks, tees, button-downs and wallets available online right now. Many items are included in our 40% off End of Season Sale, like this Women’s Juniper Hoodie.

The last couple of weeks have been an extremely challenging time. We’ve all been affected by the Coronavirus pandemic. Like you, we’re just taking it one day at a time.
As you know, all local non-essential businesses are currently closed due to the Governor’s order, and will be for the month of April. We’re hopeful that by May, things will be looking brighter and we’ll be able to reopen. We’re anxious to open our doors and see you all again, as soon as it’s safe to do so.
In the meantime, we still have our online shop! We’re regularly monitoring online orders and will be shipping them out as they come in.

Raise your hand if you still haven’t finished your holiday shopping...
There’s no shame in being a last minute shopper! We’re all so busy, it’s not easy to find time to get it done. We’re here to help!
Don’t risk online orders not arriving in time for Christmas. We’ve extended our hours so you can still find amazing gifts for all your friends and family. We’ll be opening on Monday, as well as from 10am-4pm on Tuesday, Christmas Eve.
Here’s our holiday wish list of the quickest, easiest, no-fail gift and stocking stuffer ideas:
HYDROFLASK WATER BOTTLES
Arguably the trendiest water bottle this year, and it’s gotten its great reputation for a reason. This insulated water bottle features double wall insulation that keeps cold drinks cold for up to 24 hours and hot drinks for up to 12. Buy it for you friends who hit the trails, the gym, or anyone who is just conscious of staying hydrated!
HIKING ACCESSORIES
We have a ton of merchandise that any novice or expert hiker would love to receive. Our Osprey collection features amazing backpacks and all the accessories you could imagine: dry sacks, waterproof pack liners, paddle organizers, compression sacks, packing cube sets, stuff sacks, rain covers, bottle valve, soft flasks and much more.
FLANNELS, FLEECES & SWEATER
We have a HUGE selection of men and women’s winter apparel. What makes our clothing great for gift giving, is that it’s high quality. We don’t sell any “fast-fashion” that falls apart after 2 washes. A fleece, flannel, jacket or vest from the brands we carry is an investment piece that will last. We proudly offer The North Face, Patagonia, Ten Tree, Mountain Hardware, Sherpa and many more of your favorite, top quality outdoor brands.
HATS, BEANIES & GLOVES
We love hats and gloves as gifts and stocking stuffers because they truly are a sure-bet! We have a ton of brands and styles to choose from, including brands like Marmot, Patagonia, and The North Face. Smartwool is another one of our favorites for beanies, as well as our assortment of baseball caps from Tentree. Tentree is a brand you can really feel good about giving, because for each and every purchase, the company plants ten trees.
DARN TOUGH SOCKS
These are everybody’s favorite! The most comfortable, breathable sock you can find. They’ll keep you warm in winter and cool in summer (and help repel odor!) Darn Touch socks are available in so many different colors and patterns, the hardest part is choosing which pair! Solution: buy them all!
Don’t worry, you still have this weekend to stock up! That’s plenty of time to wrap things up. We’ll see you soon.
Wishing you a Merry Christmas & Happy Holiday from our family, to yours!
