I've been ordering from Backcountry for a decade. Here are my discounted summer faves
Backcountry has been my go-to online outdoors retailer for years. As much we love REI at CNN Underscored, Backcountry separates itself by having its finger on the pulse of up-and-coming brands, on-trend clothing pieces to sport all summer long and gear for activities like skateboarding or going to the beach. Luckily, Backcountry's Summer Sale has up to 30% off thousands of pieces that are functional enough to wear on the trail or dressier silhouettes for seaside picnics with friends. TravisMathew Women's Cloud T-Shirt Sometimes all you need is a basic everyday tee, and this one doesn't skimp on comfort or style with its flattering ribbed neckline. It's 30% off in five colors, ranging from a crisp white to a summery pink. Rhythm Women's Tyler Mini Dress Dash out of the house in minutes after throwing on this coastal summer-ready dress. It's made for days when you want to look put together with minimal effort, and now it's under $50 in a periwinkle blue. Marine Layer Women's Elle Midweight Pull-On Pants I own the shorts version of these pants and love how flattering they look with a snug baby tee or a cropped boxy shirt. The stretchy waistband is comfortable without looking sloppy, and its buttons and zippers are fully functional. Oiselle Women's Open Lane Bra High-impact sports bras are a favorite of mine since I do a mixture of weight lifting and cardio movements at the gym. This breathable racerback is suitable for B-C cups and has removable padding for those who prefer a slimmer look. Free People Women's Day To Day Solid Boxers Wearing lightweight shorts is a must over the summer and these breezy boxers will be your go-to for grabbing a cup of coffee or walking the dog. Lots of people wear these with scrunched socks and Birkenstock Boston's and now the lake blue color is under $30. Billabong Women's Best Session Short-Sleeve T-Shirt An oversized tee and chunky necklace combo is a must for summer, especially during lazy beach days or cooler nights relaxing around a fire. Billabong makes quintessential surf tees, and I'm loving this bright yellow and lilac graphic top. Kari Traa Women's Rothe Midlayer Jacket Wearing a zip-up fleece and Patagonia baggy shorts is a chef's kiss pairing for those days when it's 70 degrees and below. If you want to wear it during the fall or winter, the roomy sleeves and temperature-regulating materials make it great for layering. Beyond Yoga Women's Spacedye High Waisted Trek Shorts The 3.5-inch inseam on these athleisure shorts is the perfect in-between length for those who appreciate ample coverage. Beyond Yoga's stretchy and moisture-wicking fabric is pill-free, per the brand, designed to hold up wash after wash. Backcountry Women's Destination Dress Thanks to Outdoor Voices, I was introduced to the world of exercise dresses years ago. While Backcountry has a few variations of its own, this one stood out due to its convenient adjustable straps and high neck coverage for added sun protection. Dickies Women's Twill Bib Skirtall If you want overalls without the chafe, snag a skirtall. It looks a bit more sophisticated than shorts, but its oversized pockets and twill material embrace a relaxed vibe. Pair it with your favorite tee, bathing suit and more. Backcountry Men's Wasatch Ripstop Shorts Take these rugged hiking shorts from the trail to beach runs for maximum comfort and functionality. It touts a quick-drying material that can handle sweat and dips in a lake or ocean when it's time to cool off. Fjallraven Men's High Coast Wind Jacket A packable wind and rainbreaker is great to have on hand if you live in an area with frequent rainfall. The bright mustard yellow jacket is down to $131 and is wind-resistant for intense bike rides and brisk walks. The North Face Men's Evolution Box Fit Short-Sleeve T-Shirt It's hard to find a high-quality basic for under $50 nowadays, but The North Face's classic tee is $25 in a handful of neutral colors. The boxy design gives it a relaxed silhouette, and it's even made from eco-conscious materials, according to the brand. Stan Ray Men's Work Short-Sleeve Shirt I've been eyeing this work shirt and the matching pants for months and might finally snag the unisex top now that it's under $100. Practical workwear pieces are great to have in your wardrobe and can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. Marine Layer Men's Oversized Cloud 9 Fleece Hoodie If you didn't see Dad this Father's Day weekend, consider mailing him a belated gift. This faded navy hoodie from Marine Layer has an adorable embroidered palm tree and will become his favorite layering piece for summer. Rab 5-Inch Men's Talus Ultra Shorts Keep your legs moving freely on your next training day with Rab's slim shorts. The build is lightweight to withstand scorching hot days, where less clothing is better. Score the black pair for under $60 while you can. District Vision Men's Half-Zip Pile Fleece Jacket Elevate your WFH sweats game with District Vision's cozy fleece. The Blue Arrow print is better than a boring solid color and effortlessly blends style and functional apparel. Pro tip: Wear it with clogs and chinos this fall. New Balance 5-Inch Men's Athletics French Terry Shorts For the days when you're not working out but still want to be comfortable, terry cloth is a great alternative to nylon. Its deep side pockets can hold wallets, phones and the like, while its drawstring is stitched to help it stay put. Adidas Men's Terrex Multi T-Shirt This tech tee will keep you cool all day with its sweat-wicking capabilities and reflective details. It's crafted from 100% polyester and was created for adventure seekers who participate in a variety of activities. Katin Men's Fraser Volley Swim Trunks For those unfamiliar with Katin, the brand was born in the 1950s and has designed high-quality beach gear ever since. These nylon swim trunks hit at the mid-thigh and can even double as shorts. Getting major discounts right ahead of the season is rare. At a time when retailers could be marking prices up, Backcountry is taking up to 30% off essentials for the summer. While the mega online store sells camping gear, functional apparel and more, I appreciate that they have tons of options for those seeking everyday pieces at reasonable prices. Our deals team has over a decade of combined commerce journalism experience. Rikka Altland, Jacqueline Saguin and Elena Matarazzo source the deals for the day to curate one-offs and retailer-specific roundups of the best sales to shop. Searching everything from coveted outdoor sales to Lululemon finds of the week, the team works across a wide variety of categories to ensure they're finding the best buys for CNN Underscored readers.

Sean Combs Faces Two New Charges in Indictment
While Sean Combs awaits the start of his trial, federal prosecutors on Thursday added two charges to his indictment – one count of sex trafficking and one count of transportation to engage in prostitution. These allegations are in relation to one of three female victims who are included in the indictment. The former music mogul and Sean John founder was arrested in September and charged with racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution in a three-count indictment that was filed in the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of New York. He plead not guilty and he has denied any wrongdoing. The initial filing alleged that Combs used his businesses to threaten and abuse women to fulfill his sexual desires. More from WWD Lawsuit Over Value of Trump's Former Lawyer's 7-carat Engagement Ring Continues Singers Alana Springsteen, Dylan Gossett Sign With TravisMathew Ex-Abercrombie & Fitch CEO Mike Jeffries Faces New Allegations In the superseding indictment, which was filed in federal court Thursday, Combs is alleged to have used force, fraud or coercion to make a woman take part in commercial sex acts from at least 2021 to 2024. He is accused of transporting the woman — and other people, including commercial sex workers — to take part in prostitution, during that time frame. In the latest court filing, Combs is facing allegations of sex trafficking three individuals and forcing a fourth, an employee, to engage in sexual acts with him. 'These are not new allegations or new accusers. These are the same individuals, former long-term girlfriends, who were involved in consensual relationships. This was their private sex life, defined by consent, not coercion,' attorneys for Combs said in a statement Friday afternoon. The original indictment was also amended last month, alleging that Combs forced employees to work long hours and threatened anyone who did not help facilitate his sex trafficking enterprise. He is being detained in the same federal prison as Luigi Mangione, the suspect in the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare's chief executive officer Brian Thompson, and Sam Bankman-Fried, the crypto mogul convicted of fraud. Combs' trial is scheduled to start May 5. The multi-Grammy winner is facing more than two dozen multiple lawsuits and accusations of rape, sexual assault and drugging some victims. His case has spawned various docuseries, podcasts and news specials, In February, Combs filed a $100 million lawsuit against NBCUniversal for the documentary 'Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy.' Three days later, a civil case against Combs and Jay-Z, which alleged they had raped a 13-year-old in 2000, was dismissed.
