About Us

We get people who get outside — plain and simple. Backcountry began in 1996 with two childhood friends and a stack of avalanche beacons in an apartment in Park City, Utah. Our roots were humble, but our vision was clear: to provide the best outdoor gear to connect people with their passions. At the dawn of e-commerce, we set the precedent that gear should be accessible from anywhere by anyone.

Today, we offer a broad selection of gear from premium outdoor brands, and we back that gear with lightning-fast shipping and guaranteed returns. Over two decades later, we still call the trails of the Wasatch Mountains in Park City home. And from the West to the East, from mountains to oceans, wherever you are in nature, so are we.

Returns

We guarantee your total satisfaction and offer a world-class returns policy. New, unused gear can be returned at any time for a full refund. Used gear must be returned within 30 days of delivery for credit.

Immediately placing a new order ensures that you'll get the new product quickly and that it won't go out of stock while you wait. Just use the eBay return process, return your original item, and place a new order.

Returns Shipping

With a USPS Label
To make shipping a return even easier, eBay offers the option to print a USPS shipping label so you can ship via First Class, Priority Mail, or Parcel Select options. These options are available for eligible U.S. customers returning products not required to ship freight.*

You'll have the option to print a label on the final screen of the eBay returns process.

Print your USPS label, tape it to the outside of your return package, and schedule a pickup or drop it off at any post office or USPS mail box.

*Products required to ship freight may include: kayaks, SUP boards, cargo boxes, car racks, indoor cycles, and more.

Without a USPS Label
To return products without a USPS label:
- File a return using Return This Item from your eBay Order History
- Fill out the information requested on the sales receipt that arrived with your purchase. This receipt also serves as paperwork necessary for your return. Include the eBay Return Item Number (indicated on your Return Packing Slip, the final screen in the eBay return process) and drop the sales receipt in your return package.
- Write the eBay Return Item Number on the outside of your package.
- Ship your return to this address:
Backcountry Returns Department
2607 South 3200 West, Suite A
West Valley City, UT 84119

It takes 3-5 business days to process a return after it arrives at our distribution center. You'll receive an email confirmation and confirmation through your eBay account when your return is received.
