How the Alabama Outdoors Jacket Drive works

Help us celebrate the season of giving by giving back to our communities with our Annual Alabama Outdoors Jacket Drive! Beginning Wednesday November 1st and ending on Tuesday November 7th, come into any Alabama Outdoors location to donate a gently used jacket and receive 15% off a new jacket or pullover. In-store only.

Donate in 4 easy steps:

1. Pull from your closet a gently used jacket.
2. Bring it to your local Alabama Outdoors store and hand it to an Alabama Outdoors team member to make sure it is in good condition to donate.
3. Shop around the store and receive 15% off a new jacket or pullover at the time of donation!
4. Jackets are taken to a local charity by the Alabama Outdoors team and donated to a person in need this winter!

It’s really that easy.

Hiking, backpacking, and camping are wonderful, enriching outdoor hobbies that can become lifelong passions. But they require an investment of time and money, especially when you start out.

If you are a beginner, you may decide hiking or backpacking isn’t the hobby for you. Wouldn’t it be great to try out the sport and some equipment to see if it fits you and your lifestyle?  We want you to love the outdoors. That’s why we offer a rental program to help you ease into your outdoor hobby.

Rent packs, tents, and sleeping pads

Alabama Outdoors rents a variety of packs, including ultralight and heavier packs for men, women, and children. We also rent men’s and women’s trekking poles as well as sleeping pads and tents. Packs, tents, and sleeping pads tend to be the most expensive equipment, so renting equipment first may help you decide if you like the activity and what you want to own for future adventures.

For your safety, we sanitize all of our rental gear. When a customer returns rented equipment, we place it in a holding area for 24 hours, then sanitize them before they can be issued to another customer.

It’s a great way to try out packs and different types of equipment.

If you are interested in renting hiking, backpacking, or camping equipment, drop by or call an Alabama Outdoors near you for more details about availability, options, and exact pricing for your trip! 

Pricing estimates (per day cost):

• Trekking Poles: $6 – $8
• Sleeping Pads: $5
• Backpacks: $10 (Kids, Men’s, and Women’s sizes available)
• Tents (2-6 person options): $12

*Ultralight tents and backpacks available.

Stop by any of our locations for your rental equipment!
