Backpack through the Southwest's canyon country. Pitch your family tent in a pine forest and take your kids for a trek to a mountaintop. Wherever your adventurous spirit takes you, we’ll help you get there with all of the outdoor equipment, hiking, and camping equipment you need—from camping cookware to headlamps to warm sleeping bags.

Take a moment to browse the tent and sleeping bag departments. Altrec.com maintains a wide selection of both categories from The North Face, Mountain Hardware, Sierra Designs, and Exped. Tent choices include three-season tents, mountaineering tents, family camping tents, and bivouac sacks. If you are in the market for a two-person mountaineering tent, be sure to check out the Mountain Hardware Trango 2 Tent, one of the toughest four season shelters around. The sleeping bag selection gives adventure-seekers a wide choice of down and synthetic sleeping bags in a variety of lengths and temperature ratings, including women's sleeping bags. Altrec.com also stocks critically acclaimed gear like the perennially popular North Face Cat's Meow sleeping bag, a Backpacker Magazine 2006 Editor's Choice Gold award winner.
