New, free iPad app combines ease-of-use and access to sweet gear to prove that wherever you are, you’re never far from the Backcountry.

PARK CITY, Utah (Aug. 8, 2011) – If gear shopping online is either too 2009 or too sedentary for you, Backcountry.com can help. As of today, you can shop Backcountry.com on your iPad, pointer-sliding your way through thousands of well-organized high-end outdoor products, touching what you need (ok, want), and checking out quickly with a swipe and a few pecks.

Built in the spirit of keeping you on the move to your next adventure, the new Backcountry.com app is compatible with iPad and iPad 2 tablets and is available for download at Apple’s iPad App store.

“Millions of people in the U.S. are making purchases on their iPads. Now there’s no reason for gear lovers not to join the revolution,” said Peter Eischeid, Mobile Product Manager at Backcountry.com.
