Today in Gear: Aether’s Weatherproof New Anorak, Shinola’s Runwell Goes Automatic & More

Today in Gear is our daily roundup of all the latest product announcements, drops and deals. Comments or concerns? We’d love to hear from you at tig@gearpatrol.com.

In springtime, it’s important to arm yourself with wardrobe staples that are versatile enough to guard against the season’s wildly variable weather. A day that starts with a chilly morning can quickly morph into a humid, rainy afternoon and demand a seam-sealed, waterproof and wind-resistant shell jacket.

Aether’s Central Anorak makes for a functional and modern take on the outerwear style. It’s made from 88 percent nylon and 12 percent spandex and features a stretch three-layer nylon shell with DWR finish. The Central Anorak also has weatherproof zippers at all entry points to ensure no moisture gets inside. Convenient chest and kangaroo pockets make this elevated layer highly functional. Add in the custom map-print interior and Aether has put together a stylish anorak to get you through the ups-and-downs of spring weather.

Fresh Deals

Jomers Button-Down Shirts
Save 48%:If you’ve been waiting for a great sale to invest in some new shirts, now’s the time to act. Jomers is currently offering a huge selection of button-down shirts for only $25. Pick from classic oxfords, checked shirts, Japanese flannels and more. Hell, you can pick up a handful of classic styles without breaking the bank. But if you see a style you like, don’t wait — these are priced to move. — John Zientek


Competitive Cyclist Windbreaker Sale
Save 55%: Right now, a variety of windbreaker jackets are on sale at Competitive Cyclist for up to 55 percent off. After a brief sighting of summer this past weekend (which made riding exquisite), we’re quickly back to mid-spring and the dregs of winter days, which means layering up on the bike is the key to staying warm. The blustery wind this week makes it feel much colder than the thermometer reads, meaning a wind-resistant jacket is necessary for rides. It traps warmth as well as helps you handle any head or tailwinds. We picked out a few of our favorite jackets below to help you get started, but there are many more on the site. — Meg Lappe

Red Wing Heritage Boots
Save 36%: When you’re presented with the chance to save on Red Wing Heritage boots, you’d be foolish to pass it up. The brand’s boots are rarely on sale and when they are, sizes are often limited. But now at Nordstrom Rack, you can save 36 percent on a pair of classic Red Wing Heritage Moc-Toe boots available in sizes 7 to 13. This American-made style features Brown Boomer leather from the S.B. Foot Tanning Company in Minnesota and a non-marking outsole. What are you waiting for? — John Zientek


Rhone Celliant Tee
Save 31%: We should all ask more of our t-shirts. It’s no longer enough that they fit us well, that they’re not only comfortable while relaxing at home but also an hour into a workout. Now, they have to help us shed sweat, control odor and keep us cool or warm depending on the temperature. Some work beyond even that, like Rhone’s Celliant Tee, which is currently on sale at Huckberry for 31 percent off.

According to Rhone, the Celliant Tee increases athletes’ blood flow and aids in effective oxygen use. It does that with one key ingredient that’s right in its name: Celliant. Celliant has been implemented in a wide range of products that includes sheets and ski boots as, according to the company that produces it, “a proprietary mineral matrix that can be embedded into the core of a yarn.” There, it works to recycle the heat emitted by your body as infrared light to provide more energy and as a result aid in muscle performance and recovery.

We’re not sure whether Celliant’s claims are true or not. Even if they aren’t, Rhone’s athletic t-shirt looks good, is plenty comfy during exercise and offers a host of benefits before managing blood flow. Maybe, in the end, that’s enough for a t-shirt (plus that nice discount). — Tanner Bowden

Today in Gear is our daily roundup of all the latest product announcements, drops and deals. Comments or concerns? We’d love to hear from you at tig@gearpatrol.com.

If you’re anything like the average American adult, you probably spend at least eight hours a day staring at screens that constantly emit blue light. Blue light can have unpleasant side effects: eye strain, headaches, blurry vision, sleep cycle disruption, eye fatigue and even long-term consequences from prolonged exposure. Felix Gray has designed some of the highest quality blue light-filtering glasses out there to help keep your peepers happy, healthy and productive.

Felix Gray’s proprietary blue light-filtering technology is derived from a naturally occurring ocular pigment to protect against digital eye strain without distorting color — 93 percent of Felix Gray customers report an improvement in their digital eye strain symptoms. The lenses are housed in beautiful, handcrafted Italian acetate and German metals for the perfect blend of fashion and function. Available in both prescription and non-prescription, styles like the Roebling and Nash are some of our favorites to keep your eyes safe and you looking good.

Fresh Deals

Todd Snyder X Timex Blackjack Watch
Save 28%: Todd Snyder’s access to the Timex archives has resulted in all sorts of cool collaborations over the past few years, but the updated versions of the once-obscure “Sprite” models from the 1970s have proven so be some of our favorites. We were enthusiastic about the “Blackjack” watch when it first debuted, but in case you need a refresher, this is a sleek, automotive-inspired timepiece with cool “roulette wheel” dial done up in black and white, a black-finished case, 50m of water resistance, a quartz movement and a black Nato strap. The watch generally retails for only $138, but right now, you can nab it for just $99 — Oren Hartov


P.F. Flyers Sneakers
Save up to 64%:Today P.F. Flyers has marked down nearly 20 styles in a last call sale. Sizes are limited, but given the broad range of options, there is a good chance you can find something to your liking to wear into spring.

Whether you’re partial to low or high-top lace-ups, slip-ons or even shoes with velcro closures (why not?), you can find something here. Mark-downs on sneakers from the classic Boston-based brand range from just $10 to $70, making the already reasonably priced canvas sneakers all the more attractive. This sale isn’t likely to go on for long though, so it’ll pay to act quickly. — John Zientek

Drake’s Ties
Save up to 39%:There’s no reason you shouldn’t have a range of well-made ties. Having a few great options will serve you well either at work (if your office has a professional dress code) or at upcoming summer weddings.

If you’re looking for a quality tie at a bargain price, head over to Todd Snyder: you can currently save up to 39 percent on some of the best ties available. Made in the U.K. by Drake’s, the ties are cut from wool, cashmere, linen and silk, and come in range of colors and textures. Act fast if you see something you like — a deal like this won’t last long. — John Zientek

Bose SoundTouch 300 Soundbar
Save $200: The Bose SoundTouch 300 is an excellent soundbar that will work well with any of the latest 4K TVs. It supports Alexa as well. When it was released in 2017, Bose was selling the SoundTouch 300 for $699 — but being two-years-old, Amazon has dropped its price to $499. It’s a pretty solid deal, especially considering the soundbar is very similar in price, size and capabilities to the Sonos Playbar ($699); actually, according to CNET‘s Ty Pendlebury, the SoundTouch 300 has the Playbar beat “in terms of both sound stage and ‘you are there’ detail.”

CAP Dumbbell Sale
Save 23%: CAP makes some of the best dumbbells available, and you can pick up a pair of 20- or 25-pounders for up to 23 percent off. Weights are requisite home gym gear and necessary for strength-based at-home workouts. And these durable CAP rubber coated dumbbell weights are ideal for a variety of exercises. While you can do most fitness moves with just your bodyweight, adding a pair of dumbbells ups the intensity level leading to the results you want.

The rubber ends mean they won’t rust, and the hex-shaped design makes it easy to hold a plank and row. Right now, you can pick up a couple of 25-pounders for $13 off or 20-pounders for $16.70 off. Buy a pair, then start pumping out overhead presses, dumbbells squats and AMRAP (as many reps as possible) bicep curls. — Meg Lappe

Some of the Best Workout Shorts Available Are on Sale
Save 30%: A crucial aspect of any workout is comfort, not just in how you feel but what you’re wearing. It’s a fact that makes an outwardly simple piece of clothing like a pair of shorts all-important, and mundane details like pocket placement and waistband material (not to mention the debate over built-in liners) introduce a significant level of variability into the span what’s available. Today, a dedicated group of brands is addressing workout shorts — for the gym, for running, for yoga and more — in creative (and comfortable) ways. Many of our favorite models, and those preferred by professional trainers, from Ten Thousand, Rhone, Wolaco and more are currently on sale at Huckberry for 30 percent off. — Tanner Bowden


Baratza Virtuoso Burr Coffee Grinder
Save $40: The best coffee grinders in the world are big, heavy and industrial, like the Mahlkonig EK43. But unless you’re ready to fork over a couple of Gs and half the real estate of your kitchen counter, you’re better off going with a Baratza Virtuoso — on sale today for the lowest price we’ve ever seen. — Jack Seemer

Lodge 12-Inch Cast Iron Skillet
Save $17: Good news: Lodge’s 12-inch skillet is marked down to just $25 at Amazon. Its 10 inches of cooking space (the 12-inch designation refers to a wall-to-wall measurement, not cooking space) is the ideal size for most stovetop burners — any bigger and heat distribution issues are exacerbated, any smaller and you can’t cook a whole lot. Plus, unlike Lodge’s behemoth 13- and 15-inch pans, the 12-inch will actually fit in a kitchen cabinet. — Will Price

Combat Blue Light Harm and Look Good in the Process

These Were the 10 Most Popular Products on Gear Patrol in March

Spring is finally here. Gear Patrol readers are taking notice by upgrading their outdoor gear, adding cast-iron cookware to their kitchen lineups, freshening up their warm-weather wardrobes and upgrading their coffee choices as well as the coffee makers they use to brew at home.

To round things out, we’ve put together a list of the 10 most popular products we covered in March. Read the full list below.

Bell Motorcycle Helmets

“The vintage-styled, dirt-focused MX-9 is currently 19 percent off. But the biggest savings are on the Bell Star line – you can look forward to saving $300 and still get a top-notch lid.” — Bryan Campbell

Urnex Dezcal Coffee Cleaner

“‘I’ve used [Urnex’s] food-safe cleaners in every shop I’ve ever worked in,” says Erika Vonie, Director of Coffee at Trade. “They don’t leave a residue or impart flavor when used correctly and leave your equipment factory-clean when all is said and done.’” — Will Price

Huckleberry Coffee

Huckleberry Roastery recently took home first place from the U.S. Roaster Championship. “Based in Denver, Colorado, Huckleberry Roasters has grown from a garage roaster to a global micro-farm sourcing powerhouse. Huckleberry offers plenty of single origins, blends and decaf options at varying roast levels — in other words, it doesn’t discriminate against your taste in coffee.” — Will Price

Lodge Cast-Iron Skillet Scraper

“Every person who has ever bought a cast-iron skillet, used it once, then stowed it under the countertop for the rest of time does so for one reason: it’s annoying as hell to maintain. You can’t scrape it up with metal utensils or paper towels, so what do you do? You buy Lodge’s stupid-simple $3 plastic scrapers.” — Will Price

Lodge 12″ Cast-Iron Skillet

“Good news: Lodge’s 12-inch skillet is marked down to just $25 at Amazon. More good news: the 12-inch is the perfect start to a new cast iron collection. As with all Lodge pans, the 12-inch comes pre-seasoned and ready to cook out of the box (we recommend starting with bacon).” — Will Price

Foehn Brise Pant

“We have a lot of nice things to say about Foehn. Whether it be their Brise pant or their hoodie we reviewed as a part of our best down jackets of 2019 rundown, our writers have been impressed with Foehn’s ability to balance style with functionality.” — J.D. DiGiovanni

Everlane Performance Chino

“Designing outside-of-the-gym clothing to perform like athletic apparel is far from a new idea. Instead, what makes these chinos from Everlane remarkable is that they don’t look like running tights masquerading as the kind of pants you’d wear to the office.” — J.D. DiGiovanni

Technivorm Moccamaster

“Launched in 1969, the Moccamaster became the first coffee maker ever approved by the Specialty Coffee Association’s rigorous home brewer program. It’s easy as hell to use and still has a sleek ’60s aesthetic.” — Will Price

Arc’teryx Atom SL Jacket

“Arc’teryx specializes in a high-performing and good-looking city to mountain gear — making it a favorite brand around the GP offices.” — Meg Lappe

Naglev Unico Hiker

“A pair of handmade hiking boots can cost as much as $750, but right now there’s a pair made by a small Italian brand called Naglev available for $173, which is 25 percent off its regular price of $230. Before you discount that as small change, know that the shoe, called the Unico Hiker, is unlike any other hiking shoe available (it’s also on our list of the best hiking boots available).” — Tanner Bowden

Today in Gear: Seiko’s Streetwear-Worthy New Prospex Watches, the Honda Talon 1000 SxS and More

Today in Gear is our daily roundup of all the latest product announcements, drops and deals. Comments or concerns? We’d love to hear from you at tig@gearpatrol.com.

Seiko’s Prospex Collection has evolved over the years beyond its roots as solely professional diving instruments but has stayed focused on durable everyday sport watches. The Prospex Steet Series released at the end of last year is no different, offering the signature Prospex toughness with a mix of bold color.

The monochrome blue, green, and gray color options stand out on the wrist while featuring the details of the Prospex line: matching silicone straps, solar-powered movements, bright luminescent on the dials, unidirectional rotating bezels, and 47mm lightweight cases that are water-resistant down to 200m. Utilizing the signature “Tuna Can” case style, the three Prospex Street Series timepieces take the fabled dive watch design to new places with a comfortable and eye-catching wear.

Wolf Viceroy Watch Winder
Save $319: While you don’t per se need a watch winder, its a nice accessory to have if you own multiple automatic watches. The problem is that even winders on the more affordable end of the spectrum can cost a surprisingly large amount of money, which is why it’s always nice to see a Wolf winder on sale. The winder’s MSRP is $499, but right now you can get it for just $180. — Zen Love


Reebok 50% Off Sale
Save 50%: Today, you can pick up a pair of Reebok’s best-selling CrossFit Nano 8 gym shoe and the Floatride Run — both on sale for over $70 off. Each sneaker is just a tad over $50, which is a steal for a sneaker that’s a winner in our Best Gym Sneakers guide. While the Nano sneakers are built for CrossFit, they make great gym sneakers, whether you prefer lifting weights and using machines over rope climbs and handstand pushups.

The best news of all is that Reebok’s massive spring sale doesn’t just include sneakers, it’s not just sneakers — you can take an additional 50 percent off all sale items including apparel and Classics. Be sure to use code EXTRA50 at checkout. — Meg Lappe

Mystery Ranch Backpacks
Save up to 39%: Mystery Ranch may be better known for the heavy-duty packs worn by members of the military and backcountry firefighters, but the lightweight In and Out, which is currently 18 percent off at Huckberry, meets our expectations of the company, if for different reasons.

The In and Out is collapsible, folding into itself to become the size of a small pillow (and you might use it as such on a long flight or bus ride). But, unlike many other minimalist travel backpacks, it remains full-featured with 100-denier Cordura fabric, an aerospace mesh back panel and pockets to accommodate everything from a water bottle to an ice axe. For these reasons, it’s our pick for the best minimalist daypack for hiking, but it’ll serve travelers who prefer city sidewalks to trails just as well.

Other great Mystery Ranch bags are also on sale at Huckberry, including the 21-liter Urban Assault everyday backpack and the travel-oriented Mission Duffel, both for 39 percent off. — Tanner Bowden

Repro Military Sneakers from Various Countries
Save 20%:If you’re looking for a new pair of sneakers for spring and don’t want the ubiquitous styles offered at big-box stores, consider picking up a military trainer. Japanese footwear brand Reproduction of Found specializes in reproduction military trainers from a range of different countries and for a limited time, they’re on sale at Need Supply Co. Pick up familiar silhouettes from countries like Canada and the U.S. or step out of the box with styles from Russia and China. No matter the option, you’ll get a well-made sneaker that will differentiate you from the crowd. — John Zientek

The Bold Seiko Every Streetwear Fan Should Have on Their Radar

Today in Gear: Leather Accessories from Bull & Stash, Affordable Pappy Van Winkle Alternatives & More

Today in Gear is our daily roundup of all the latest product announcements, drops and deals. Comments or concerns? We’d love to hear from you at tig@gearpatrol.com.

A well-built leather portfolio is a must-have for any professional on the go. Bull & Stash has devoted itself to creating better stationary accoutrements in a smart, innovative way. While anyone can make an ordinary leather portfolio, the Allison Slim Portfolio perfectly balances craftsmanship and superior design.

Bull & Stash utilizes the unique Expedition Leather that is tanned in León, Mexico. Unlike the orthodox European standards, León’s leather process is so distinct that Expedition Leather is unlike much else. It’s tumbled and infused with oils to give it a rich, creamy feel that only gets better over time — the leather’s color and finish burnish with wear to build character as it ages. Combined with details like stainless steel hardware, thick 105 GSM (grams per square meter) refillable paper and a magnetic closure, this portfolio is built for a lifetime of daily use.

Stutterheim Raincoats
Save 35%: If you don’t have a reliable raincoat, now’s the time to buy. With rainy spring weather already forecast, a lightweight, waterproof jacket is something of a necessity. And if you’re looking for a good option, head over to East Dane today. You can save 35 percent on a range of reliable raincoats from Stutterheim. The Swedish stalwart makes classic styles that now cost less than $150 — that means you won’t break the bank to stay dry this season. — John Zientek

Now’s a great time to stock up on Clif shots, energy bars, recovery mixes and our favorite for fueling mid-run, Clif Bloks. Each energy snack is measured to provide everything an athlete needs when working out: protein, sugars, carbs and salt. Each will help your body replenish the nutrients lost during exercise — and they taste good, too. — Meg Lappe

GSI Outdoors JavaPress
Save 20%: There’s something wonderful about enjoying a freshly-brewed cup of coffee in the wilderness. All of the pleasures that the beverage imparts when experienced in the comforts of home or at a favorite cafe are multiplied at a campsite, even when high-end barista machinery is unavailable.

Without a countertop appliance, coffee making becomes a modified and slightly more humble process. However, there is a range of lightweight and packable brewers available, from French press to pour over, but GSI’s JavaPress is our favorite for its ability to serve multiple cups in one batch and for its easy-to-clean construction. It’s currently 20 percent off at Backcountry when you enter the code TAKE20MARCH at checkout.

Note: Backcountry’s discount code applies to any one full-priced item, so if you’re more of a tea person, or want something like a new rain jacket or cooler, you can get 20 percent those things too. Remember, you can only use the discount once. — Tanner Bowden

Samsung QN65Q9FN 4K TV
Save Over $800: There are big TVs, and then there are big TVs — this 65-inch Samsung QN65Q9FN verges toward the latter. There’s also 4K screen resolution, smart interface, Dolby Digital Plus integrated audio and Samsung’s flagship quantum-dot QLED display technology, which claims more than a billion shades of color in addition to the best possible overall brightness and contrast.

On the average day, all that tech would cost you a lot — the TV sells for $2,800 on Samsung’s website. But thanks to an eBay sale, you can get the complete package, factory-sealed and delivered, for just $1,949. — Andy Frakes

Incase Made a Collection From Flight Nylon, And it Looks Seriously Good

Incase has been making durable, well-designed bags for tech for over two decades. Focusing on modern solutions for protection and mobility, its bags and accessories have become essential for anyone carrying a MacBook or other tech gear. In its latest collection, Incase has developed a tough yet stylish line with materials coming straight off the backs of pilots.

The Flight Nylon Collection is made from its namesake Flight Nylon, a tightly woven fabric originally used in flight jackets for warmth as well as weather and stretch-resistance. It’s a material well-regarded for high-tensile strength, a luxuriously soft feel and a distinctly crisp look — all ideal qualities to protect and transport a MacBook or any of your other precious tech. This lightweight textile resists water, mold, mildew, stains, stretching, tears and snags to keep whatever is stored inside protected and blemish-free.

Receive an exclusive Gear Patrol special 20 percent off sitewide from Incase by using the code INC-GP20. US site only. Coupon valid until June 30, 2019. Excluded SKUs apply (bundles, factory skus, etc).

Today in Gear: Urban Bike Commuter Gear from PEdALED, a Surprise Audio Release from Apple & More

Today in Gear is our daily roundup of all the latest product announcements, drops and deals. Comments or concerns? We’d love to hear from you at tig@gearpatrol.com.

For city-bound bike commuters there are specific logistical issues to solve, the biggest of which is quite possibly what to wear. Do you go fully kitted and change at work? Do you just sport what you’re going to wear at work (chancing sweat stains)? Or do you find something in between?

PEdALED has an answer to this quandary with its brand new Urban Collection, designed to perform on and off the bike. PEdALED was born out of a love for urban cycling through the streets of Tokyo, meaning its founders know exactly what stylish-yet-versatile cycling clothes demand. Pieces like the Yobi Shirt and Ikiru Pants use lightweight materials, waterproof fabrics and hidden pockets fused with technical and contemporary features to ensure a full range of motion, all while still looking put together.

MWC GG-W-113 Military Watch
Save 10%: The GG-W-113 is one of the classic American military field watches produced in large quantities for servicemen during the Vietnam War. These were small (by modern standards), hand-wound field watches made to a strict specification that evolved over time, and they have an instantly recognizable, no-nonsense aesthetic that has made them beloved by watch collectors and lovers of militaria. — Oren Hartov


Lucchese Grayson Chelsea Boots
Save 55%:Founded in 1883, Lucchese is one of America’s premier boot makers. Originally located in San Antonio, the company is now headquartered in El Paso. While it produces some entry-level level boots in Mexico, the brand still makes its flagship footwear in Texas. Styles include numerous cowboy boots, naturally, along with a few complimentary silhouettes.

Of the latter, the Grayson Chelsea boots are worth checking out. The boot features a black suede upper, a back heel loop, a leather outsole and side gore panels. Normally $745, the Grayson is now 55 percent off at Zappos and costs $335. If you’re looking for a versatile boot for everyday wear, check this style out before it’s gone. — John Zientek

Bodum Pour-Over Coffee Brewer
Save 50%: Though we hold drip coffee machines in high regard, any coffee diehard will tell you the purest, most flexible way to brew coffee is in a pour-over brewer. Pour-over brewing allows the brewer to adjust water temperature, volume, pouring pattern and even number of pours cup-to-cup. The rabbit hole is deep.

Today at Best Buy, Bodum’s standard pour-over brewer is marked down 50 percent — good for a modest $10 savings. If you go for it, we recommend picking up a scale and grinder, too. —Will Price

Under Armour Running Socks Sale
Save 25%: Under Armour’s run cushion socks are on sale right now for 25 percent off. These lightweight socks hold up after numerous wash cycles and maintain their cushion and don’t get pilly like some no-show socks tend to do. There’s added cushion under the toes and around the arch so feet are protected from your very first step. Whether you’re hitting the road for one mile, five or your last long run before the Boston marathon, these socks will handle the challenge. I’ve had a pair now for over four months, and they’re one of the first that I’ll reach for when I’m hopping on the treadmill or heading on a run (now that it’s finally warm out). Pick up a pair of the black, orange, white and blue colors for just $9.75 on Amazon today. — Meg Lappe


Osprey Travel Duffel
Save 20%: Luggage has always presented a kind of Catch 22. While it may help organize and carry both gear and clothing in transit, it becomes a bit of a pain to store when it’s not in use. Osprey’s UI Stuff Duffel solves that problem thanks to a special easy to stuff design — and today it is 20% off.

Made from a lightweight but sturdy 40D ripstop stitching, the duffel bag features 30L of storage and a padded shoulder sling for easy carrying. When you are done huffing around stuff for the day, the bag can be packed into itself and thrown in a drawer or glovebox. Whether you’re looking for a gym bag or something to travel with, this duffel is more than up to the challenge. — J.D. DiGiovanni

Today in Gear: Roark Revival’s Layover-Friendly Travel Pants, the New World Whiskey Champion & More

Today in Gear is our daily roundup of all the latest product announcements, drops and deals. Comments or concerns? We’d love to hear from you at tig@gearpatrol.com.

Both implement a drawstring closure waistband with a zipper fly so you don’t have to take off a belt at the airport. A front extended long zip pocket with an internal stash sleeve can accommodate all your travel documents.

Fresh Deals

Nike SaleSave up to 40%
Right now you can pick up a pair of Nike’s best running shoes, the Epic React Flyknit 2 and the Zoom Pegasus Turbo . Each pair is over 30 percent off in a few colors. Both are solid workhorse training shoes, weighing in at 8.4 ounces. For my last half marathon training block, I rotated running in both for speed workouts and long runs, and ran the entire 13.1 miles in the Pegasus Turbos. If you’re running a shorter distance, say 5K or 10K, the Epic React Flyknit 2 is a bouncy choice — you’ll feel like you’re flying through the miles.

Right now, on nike.com there’s a large number of sizes in a few colors for each shoe, but shop while you can as Nike’s gear tends to sell out quickly. If you don’t need a new pair of running shoes there are also a plethora of gym and everyday sneakers and apparel on sale for up to 40 percent off. — Meg Lappe

ELAC Debut 2.0 B6.2 Bookshelf Speakers
Save Over $100: The ELAC Debut 2.0 B6.2 is one of our favorite passive bookshelf speakers. Designed by famed loudspeaker designer Andrew Jones, who is known for his award-winning work at KEF, Pioneer and TAD, the Debut 2.0 B6.2 speakers are able to produce a strong and clear sound. They have a 6.5-inch Aramid fiber woofer and a 1-inch cloth dome tweeter, and because the bass port is on the front of the speaker, they can be placed against a wall and still sound great. We named the Debut 2.0 B6.2 as one of the “best bookshelf speakers under $300” in our recent bookshelf speaker buying guide. Normally just under $300, Amazon is selling the Debut 2.0 B6.2 for $197, which is the lowest we’ve seen these speakers going for. If you’re looking to get a great pair of Andrew Jones-designed passive speakers, here’s your chance.

Jabra Elite 65t True Wireless Earbuds
Save $40: The Jabra Elite 65t is one of the best true wireless earbuds you can buy right now. They sound great, fit snug, and, with a four-mic array, they’re better for taking calls than most alternative true wireless earbuds; for more information, you can read our full review of the Jabra Elite 65t, here. Best Buy is currently selling them for $150, but you can get the same earbuds, albeit manufacturer refurbished, on eBay for $110, which is still a good deal (despite not being nearly as good). You’re saving $40.

Breville Barista Express
Save $120: To the frustration of many would-be espresso nerds, getting into espresso is no easy task. And by no easy task, we mean it’s expensive as hell. At a bare minimum, you need a decent espresso maker, a scale and a high-end burr grinder. That’s why all-in-one espresso makers equipped with scales and grinders represent the best value in espresso makers. And one of those machines, Breville’s Barista Express, is on sale today.

The usually $600 machine looks confusing but isn’t — turn the power on, choose single or double, press the corresponding brew button (denoted by symbols of one and two cups of coffee) and espresso is made in under a minute. Plus, Breville’s steam wand makes lush, foamy milk without any requisite skill or know-how. Get one for $120 off today at Amazon. —Will Price

Extra Savings On Already-Discounted Items

And today, thanks to the Sale on Sale event at J.Crew, buyers can get the jacket for half the already steeply discounted price. —J.D. DiGiovanni

Mobius + Ruppert Pencil Sharpener

It’s a reminder that it’s possible to make a great thing for not a lot of money. The M+R sharpener is heavy — all brass and steel — and does not feel like it’s falling apart any time soon.

The original MSRP was $20, but in the resale market, these things go from $130 to $250. That doesn’t matter though, I’ll never sell it! — Hunter D. Kelley, Associate Designer
