Outdoor Project Competitors

At Recreational Equipment, Inc. (REI), we exist to inspire and enable life outside for everyone. We believe that it’s in the wild, untamed and natural places that we find our best selves, so our purpose is to awaken a lifelong love of the outdoors, for all. Since 1938, we have been your local outdoor co-op, working to help you experience the transformational power of nature. We bring you top-quality gear and apparel, expert advice, rental equipment, inspiring stories of life outside and outdoor experiences to enjoy alone or share with your friends and family. And because we have no shareholders, with every purchase you make with REI, you are choosing to steward the outdoors, support sustainable business and help the fight for life outside. So whether you’re new to the outdoors or a seasoned pro, we hope you’ll join us.

Backcountry.com began in 1996 with two guys, a stack of avalanche beacons, and a garage in Park City, Utah. Our roots were humble, and we've grown since then, but our vision is still clear: to provide the best outdoor gear—and to be the best at doing it. We have deep roots in Utah, and we thrive on the trails and in the mountains surrounding Park City. Our corporate headquarters sits just north of old town Park City and within a quick pedal or a few footsteps of the Wasatch mountains. You can also find us playing at our other company locations in Salt Lake City, UT, Christiansburg, VA, Portland, OR, Costa Rica, and Germany. Aside from our flagship site, Backcountry.com, we operate three other specialty e-tailers (Competitive Cyclist, Motosport, and Bergfreunde.de) as well as two flash sales sites (Steep & Cheap and Whiskey Militia). At Backcountry, we value your passions just as much as your work. Much in the way that we seek out the highest performing gear on the planet, we hire the most knowledgeable and experienced employees in the industry. We offer industry-leading perks to reward a job well done. From a gear discount nearly too-good-to-believe, to boundless opportunities for workday recreation, a flexible time off policy, casual dress code, reimbursement for carpooling, and a killer lineup of local events, the list of perks is nearly endless. In addition to offering industry-leading perks, we have big-company benefits like medical, dental, vision, and disability & life insurance, paid maternity & paternity leave, and 401(k) matching to keep your family healthy and happy.

At Sierra, we’re pretty into the outside and want to help other people get out there, too. Walking your dog, trying out hiking, mastering child’s pose, taking up running – however you get moving, our stores and website are a go-to destination to grab the gear you need. Sierra is part of the T.J.Maxx family, which means our buyers are always on the lookout for epic brands at teeny, tiny prices. We pass those savings on to our customers so they can score top-of-the-line finds for generally 20% to 60% less than department and specialty store prices.* Between Sierra.com and our rapidly growing number of stores, it’s an exciting time to join team Sierra. If you’re an outside person, thrive in fast-paced environment, work well with a team, and appreciate a good dog picture, this is the place for you!
