Today’s Best Deals: Designer Sunglasses from Stepani Style, Discounted Camping Essentials & Much More

Welcome to Deals of Note, where Gear Patrol captures all the best deals of the day. You can also follow all our deal posts in the Deals section. Comments or concerns? We’d love to hear from you at deals@gearpatrol.com.

Memorial Day is the unofficial start of summer, which means it’s the time of year you dust off your old sunglasses and realize you probably need an upgrade. Stepani Style can help with that. Put that pair of beater shades in the back of the drawer and take a look at these Tom Ford specs. While aviator styles can be a bit more highway-patrol than summer hang-out, the Cedric, Cyrille, and Ronnie frames are all relaxed enough to party while being bold enough to stand out. And even if those are a bit out there for you, the more easy-going Snowdon’s are still far from pedestrian. Available through Stepani Style, you can grab these — or a whole lot of other shades, for that matter — for 70% off the usual retail price.

Gear Patrol readers can also get an extra 15% off of styles already discounted by 70% from Stepani Style with the code Gear15. Stepani Style offers free shipping on all orders along with hassle-free returns.

Oak Street Bootmakers
Save up to 40%: The old adage goes something like this: Invest in your shoes, your sheets and your car tires, because they come between you and the ground. And common wisdom will tell you if you’re not currently using one — shoes, sheets or tires — you’re almost certainly using another. When properly cared for, an excellent pair of shoes or boots can last for a very long time, making them all the more investment-worthy from a cost-per-wear standpoint.

Even with that in mind, spending hundreds of dollars up front on a pair of shoes can be a tough sell when there are inexpensive (or downright cheap) pairs beckoning from the bargain aisle. We get that. It’s why we’re all the more excited about a sale event from the premiere American footwear producers at Oak Street Bootmakers, where you can save 20, 30 or even 40% on boots, shoes, loafers and moccasins made to last. Check out the full sale here. — Andy Frakes

Huckberry Backpack Memorial Day Sale
Save 40%:Evergoods first two backpacks, the Civic Panel Loader and the Mountain Panel Loader — or CPL24 and MPL30 for short — are on sale at Huckberry for 40 percent off right now. There are two reasons why you should take note of this.

Firstly, Evergoods is the brand to watch right now when it comes to backpacks. The small company is lead by Jack Barley, one of the original co-founders of GORUCK, and Kevin Dee, a former product engineer at Patagonia. Their combined expertise produces backpacks that are truly multi-purpose; the CPL24 works as an ideal around-town pack but has features, like a hydration sleeve and ports, that make it suitable for hiking too. On the other side, the MPL30 has an integrated hipbelt and lightweight aluminum frame for supporting heavier loads on the trail but includes a sleeve that can accommodate a laptop around town.

Secondly, Evergoods is still small, and its backpacks can sell out. To find them on sale is rarer still. If you are considering one of these two bags, how you plan on using it will guide your choice. If you need a hiking bag, go with the MPL30. If it’s an everyday pack that you’re looking for the CPL24 is the one. We’ve spent a lot of time with this bag in particular, and consider it to be the best all-purpose backpack available. Period. “This bag is simple, durable and understated,” notes one of our editors. “It’s got GoRuck vibes without screaming mil-spec intensity.” Simply put, nobody else is making a backpack like this.
— Meg Lappe

Berucci A-2TR Vintage
Save 50%: This A-2TR Vintage model offers the same titanium case construction (here, 40mm) and Swiss quartz movement that make Bertucci field watches easy to recommend for the price, but it includes a rotating bezel that is useful for timing in a range of situations. Right now, the A-2TR is on sale at Drop for just $125, half-off its retail price of $250, on your choice of black or green straps. — Zen Love

6 Awesome Camping Essentials Are on Sale This Weekend
Save up to 50%: It’s too late to upgrade your camping setup for the holiday weekend, but it’s the perfect time to take advantage of sales for as much as 50 percent off at retailers like REI, Backcountry and Huckberry to ensure that you’re well prepared for summer. — Tanner Bowden


Audioengine A5+ Wireless Bookshelf Speakers
Save $50: The Audioengine A5+ Wireless are some of our favorite bookshelf speakers and, as part of World Wide Stereo’s special Memorial Day sale, you can save $50 of them right now — normally $499, the speakers cost $449 after you enter the promo code MEMDAY at checkout. |

Satisfy Memorial Day Sale
Save $80+:Satisfy makes some of the best running apparel in the world, but it also happens to be one of the most expensive, which is why we can’t believe that it’s on sale right now. The high-performance apparel company, founded by Brice Partouche, pulls heavily from his fashion background, and seamlessly blends technical features into every item. The minimalist and worn-in looks feature mostly black and white designs in a fabric that never chafes. Testers claim the gear is the best they’ve ever worn. The brand rarely has sales, so we’re shocked to find it up to 30 percent off. Sizes are limited, but shop while you can — these prices are likely never to be seen again. — Meg Lappe


Velomacchi Memorial Day Sale
Save up to 25%: A commute on two wheels can be the harshest part of your day, whether you cycle to and from work under your own power or sit over an internal combustion engine. The elements, the traffic, the exposure, it all takes a toll on you and the gear you use, so it makes sense to invest in durable equipment that lasts. Velomacchi uses designs, technology and construction fit for the National Gaurd and military Spec Ops, so it stands to reason something like the 28L Speedway Backpack can handle your nine-to-five rat race. Starting today and running until midnight on Memorial Day, Velomacchi is running a sale not just on its bags, but the entire site, where everything is 25 percent off. — Bryan Campbell

Today’s Best Deals: Stylish Essentials from Mott & Bow, Heavily Discounted Sonos Speakers & More

Welcome to Deals of Note, where Gear Patrol captures all the best deals of the day. You can also follow all our deal posts in the Deals section. Comments or concerns? We’d love to hear from you at deals@gearpatrol.com.

Mott & Bow started with the concept of getting premium jeans to people at a reasonable price. They accomplished this feat through precise denim science after years of experience within the denim industry. With jeans being one of the most classic staples a man needs, there was a natural progression that allowed Mott & Bow to take its denim philosophy and apply it to other classic items needed by the modern man.

Alongside the brand’s much-loved jeans, Mott & Bow company produces staple items like oxford shirts, t-shirts, sweaters and more with the same attention to detail, quality and comfort we’ve come to expect. You’re probably already looking to refresh your wardrobe for summer and everything that comes with it, making now the perfect time to update the classics you rely on day-in and day-out with stylish pieces you can rely on. At Mott & Bow, first-time purchasers can receive 15 percent off site-wide — all the more reason to start here.

Au Sabot L’Armor Mariner’s Knife
Save 40%: There’s a reason why knife blades come in various shapes — intended use is the primary one. Take Au Sabot’s L’Armor, a folding pocket knife with a somewhat blunted tip, for example. That shape is called a Sheepsfoot, not only because it resembles, in a way, an ovine hoof, but also because it’s a shape that has historically been used for farm work.

Au Sabot’s sheepsfoot knife references sailors though, not shepherds — specifically, 19th Century sailors embarking from England with a similar looking tool called The London. Characterized by a straight cutting edge and a spine that curves down to meet it at the point, sheepsfoot blades were ideal for seamen because the wide angle of the point helps prevent accidental puncture while, say, working on rigging while floating on an undulating ocean. The flat edge is ideal for slicing and straightforward cutting tasks. Sheepsfoot knives are practical by design, a fact that hasn’t changed in over two hundred years — today, the shape is often favored by emergency response teams.

Au Sabot’s L’Armor pocket knife still has that function at its heart, but it adds an appropriate amount of flair too. The four-inch blade is made of Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel, a well-rounded Swedish steel known for its hardness and toughness (it’s often used to make ice skate blades) and is available with handles made of palo santo, olive or horn. All three are currently available at Huckberry for 40 percent off (part of the discount applies after you drop it in your cart). — Tanner Bowden

Timex Expedition Scout Field Watch
Save 50%:
This particular iteration of the Timex Expedition Scout field watch features a modern 40mm brass case, a 20mm lug width for use with a variety of aftermarket straps, and INDIGLO lighting (push the crown in and the dial lights up). For $30, this is the perfect beater watch for hiking, climbing and more. — Oren Hartov


Everlane’s “Pay What You Want” Sale
Save up to 30%: Thanks to one of Everlane’s “pay what you want” sales, you can save 30 percent on a range of warm-weather essentials you’ll need as temperatures climb. The sale also includes a healthy selection of fall and winter necessities like fleeces, sweaters, parkas and jackets at reduced prices — perfect if you want to get ahead of the seasonal shopping curve. — Andy Frakes

Suunto Watches Memorial Day Sale
Save $60:If you’re looking for a tracker that will log your every step, lap and CrossFit move, look no further than the Suunto 3 Fitness, which is currently $60 off. I tested the watch last year and loved how it monitored my bike commuting minutes, running and hiking miles — even open mile swim. With over 70 sports to choose from, this tracker will log every single one.

If that’s not quite the right device for you, the newest model is the Suunto 5 ($329) with over 80 sport modes, adaptive training (that changes based on your past workouts) and stress tracking.

However, The Suunto 3 Fitness isn’t the only watch on sale today at Clever Training. A few other standouts include the Suunto 9 G1 Baro GPS (great for hiking and backcountry riding), the Suunto Spartan Trainer (ideal for triathletes). Shop the rest of the deal here. — Meg Lappe

Bulova Chronograph C
Save 62%: With an unbeatable style and colorful red-white-and-blue dial, this funky chronograph features Bulova’s High Performance Quartz movement and premium materials like domed sapphire crystal. It also hints at the brand’s roots as an American company that was prolific in the era from which this watch takes its inspiration (’60s-’70s). At 62% off its retail price of $750, it’s also a steal right now on Amazon for just $285. — Zen Love

Iron and Resin Sale
Save up to 75%: Born out of the need for more handmade goods to support the founders’ surf- and motorcycle-centric lifestyles, Iron and Resin apparel is made for and by people who embrace the worlds of the sea and the street. From the waxed canvas jackets, worker pants and riding gloves to the fleece hoodies and board shorts, there’s no mistaking Iron and Resin’s natural California style and timeless appeal. For today through to Memorial Day, select apparel is on sale up to 75% off, so now’s the time to stock up for the seasons ahead. — Bryan Campbell

Sonos Certified Refurbished Speakers, Soundbars and Sub
Save up to $150: If you’re in the market for a Sonos speaker, the company is having a big certified refurbished sale. You can get a pretty great deal on three speakers: the Play:1, Play:5 and One. Or you can save big on the Playbar (soundbar) and Sub (wireless subwoofer). The only Sonos speakers that you won’t be able to find a deal on are the Beam (smart soundbar) and Playbase (sound base).

Today’s Best Deals: Discounted Common Projects Sneakers, Nearly 50% Off a Seiko Dive Watch & More

Welcome to Deals of Note, where Gear Patrol captures all the best deals of the day. You can also follow all our deal posts in the Deals section. Comments or concerns? We’d love to hear from you at deals@gearpatrol.com.

Common Projects Sneakers
Save 30%:Since its inception in 2004, New York-based footwear brand Common Projects has become something of a cult favorite. The brand makes luxe versions of classic sneaker silhouettes, using premium materials and Italian craftsmanship. While the brand isn’t as hard to come by as it once was, it’s rare to find substantial markdowns on any of its styles.

But, today is one of those rare occasions. If you head over to Need Supply Co., you can save 30 percent on a few different pairs of shoes and boots from Common Projects. The understated styles are available in a range of sizes and prices start at $297 — that’s almost unheard of for this brand. — John Zientek

Waterproof Camo Clarks
Save 35%:These boots, a collaboration between End and Clarks, feature a modern pixelated camo leather upper and Vibram rubber outsole, with one pair available in the eye-catching “Earth Pixel” colorway and another pair in the more subdued “Gray Pixel.” Both pairs sport reflective 3M laces and branded pull tabs with military-style attachment loops along the heel. And thanks to a Gore-tex membrane built into the boot, you can stand in ankle-deep water without getting your socks wet.

While these boots are normally $235, End has a full-size run of each for just $155 today. — Andy Frakes

Seiko Prospex PADI Dive Watch
Save Almost 50%: Powered by the cal. V157 quartz movement, the PADI special edition features a 47mm case, Hardlex mineral crystal, date display, Lumibright-coated hands and markers and a unidirectional rotating dive bezel. It’s water-resitant to 200m and features a screw-down crown and case back. Once fully charged, the power reserve on the V157 movement lasts roughly 10 months.
If mechanical watches aren’t your thing, then this PADI special edition could be your water watch this summer.— Oren Hartov


Patagonia Black Hole Duffel
Save 25%: If you’ve never heard of Patagonia’s Black Hole duffel bags, you’ve likely spotted one in an airport, foreign train station or strapped to the roof of an overlander. Patagonia built the weather-resistant and sturdy bags to last decades with a rugged TPU-laminated ripstop nylon. They also include removable backpack straps that make carrying one a breeze, even when it’s fully loaded.

The 60-liter version is arguably the most versatile size; it’s big enough to pack everything you’ll need for a weekend or a week, and it still fits into the overhead bins on planes. We’ve put this bag through its paces on all kinds of adventures, from a ski weekend in Vermont to a month-long trip to Ecuador. It’s one of the best rugged duffel bags available, and right now it’s also 25 percent off at REI through May 27th. — Tanner Bowden

Arc’Teryx Bags
Save 25%:If you’re looking for a versatile bag for all your summer adventures, head over to East Dane today. Currently, you can save 25 percent on a range of packs from Arc’Teryx that will take you from the city to the mountain. Choose from backpacks, duffels, totes and more — prices start at $22. — John Zientek


Arc’Teryx Memorial Day Sale
Save 25%:Arc’Teryx is known for its minimalist aesthetic and its tendency to leave no detail unthought, and the Arc’Teryx Norvan LD represents that beautifully. We tested these breathable trail runners just outside of the city, near Storm King Mountain, as well as upstate near Lake Placid and were impressed by the comfortable fit and powerful grip on the Vibram sole. The Norvan LD GTX are on sale for 25 percent off dropping the price down to a reasonable $146.

Shop these trail runners and a plethora of other items, like jackets, vests, hats, bags and more, all for 25 percent off at Backcountry now through Memorial Day. — Meg Lappe

40% Off Site-Wide at Dockers
Save 40%: While a good pair of khakis is essential for a modern wardrobe, you shouldn’t feel limited by traditional boxier silhouettes. Dockers offers a pile of slim tapered styles, many made with two-percent elastane for comfort. They’re soft, flattering and easy to wear. Available in a wide variety of fits, colors and weights, Docker’s khakis are all 40 percent off today with the code SUMMERTIME. — Andy Frakes

Today’s Best Deals: Save $100 on HP’s New 2-in-1 Laptop, Take 45% Off The Perfect Summer Watch & More

Welcome to Deals of Note, where Gear Patrol captures all the best deals of the day. You can also follow all our deal posts in the Deals section. Comments or concerns? We’d love to hear from you at deals@gearpatrol.com.

HP’s New 2-In-1 Laptop Has the Quality You Want and the Tech You Need
Laptop design can feel a bit stale at times. Everything tends to skew sleek, thin and silver, with few if any makers breaking out of that mold. Considering this, HP’s Spectre Folio Laptop 13t is that much more impressive thanks to its inventive take on what a two-in-one laptop can look like.

The Spectre Folio is made with a magnesium frame that’s completely covered in a leather outer shell — save for the keyboard and screen — to give it an extremely distinct look. This essentially removes the need for placing the Spectre Folio in a traditional laptop sleeve. The hybrid hinge allows the touchscreen to fold into different modes for a versatile interface that handles whatever you need it to do. And thanks to the 8th Generation Intel Core i5 processor, it’s ideal for everyday use, from spreadsheets and presentations to surfing and streaming.

If you’re in the market for a hybrid laptop that features premium outside-the-box design and all the capability you need, now’s your time — you can acquire the Spectre Folio 13t for $100 off until June 1.

Seiko Recraft Series Chronograph
Save 45%: For under $200, the Recraft may be the perfect fun summer chronograph — it charges via ambient light and features fun 1970s looks, 100m of water resistance and a matching NATO strap. — Oren Hartov


Essential Summer Sneakers
Save 55%: If you’re looking to get some fresh new kicks before the summer months, head over to Zappos today. Right now, you can save up to 55 percent on a range of white sneakers from brands like Converse, PF Flyers and Superga. Most styles are well under $50, so if you see something you like, act fast — it won’t be around for long. — John Zientek


Everything at Levi’s
Save 30%: If the warmer spring weather has you dreaming of a new wardrobe, you’re in luck. Levi’s is offering 30 percent off everything on its website including clothing, shoes and accessories that are already discounted. So if you want to get a classic western shirt, a denim trucker jacket or even just a great pair of jeans, you won’t have to break the bank to do it. Just be sure to use the code FUNSUN at checkout to take advantage of the deal. — John Zientek


Persol Sunglasses
Save 71%: If you’ve been waiting to invest in an iconic pair of Persol sunglasses, Nordstrom Rack has a deal for you. Right now, you can save 71 percent on three different Italian-made Persols: the Aviator, the Sartoria and the Pilot models. Normally $350, these shades are now just $100 while supplies last. — John Zientek


Naglev Unico Hiker
Save 10%: 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 $208, which is 10 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).

Naglev is based in the Alps, where outdoor footwear was invented, and it created the Unico to function as a middle ground between a hiking boot and a trail running sneaker. It calls to mind approach shoes (sturdy, low-cut hiking shoes typically used by rock climbers who face long treks through technical terrain on the way to a climb) but it’s built much differently. The upper is made of one single piece of Kevlar fabric — yes, the same stuff used to make body armor — and its inside is lined with a with a sock-like wool liner. This construction creates a remarkably durable shoe that’s unexpectedly comfortable, and entirely unique. — Tanner Bowden

Bowers & Wilkins PX Noise-Canceling Headphones
Save $100: The Bowers & Wilkins PX are the company’s flagship noise-canceling headphones and they are $100 off on Amazon right now — it’s the cheapest they’ve ever been. The discounted headphones are available in both colors, space grey or gold. If you’re looking for high-end noise-canceling headphones that look beautiful and sound excellent (and cost less than the Bose QuietComfort 35 II and the Sony WH-1000XM3), these are great headphones to consider. — Tucker Bowe

Garmin Forerunner 935 Smartwatch
Save 19%: The Garmin Forerunner 935 is one of the best GPS smartwatches for serious runners, and today you can get it on Amazon for the cheapest it’s ever been. The normally $500 smartwatch is almost $100 off. — Tucker Bowe

Oxo Nonstick Frypans
Starting at $30: Cast-iron skillets are great for cooking steaks and bacon, but when it comes to eggs and all manner of fish, you’re better off reaching for a nonstick frying pan like those in Oxo’s pro line — they feature three layers of nonstick coating that prevent delicate foods from sticking but also make cleaning a breeze. There’s no plastic, either, so feel free to throw these suckers in the oven to finish off a chicken breast. The 8-inch, 10-inch and 12-inch sizes are all discounted on Amazon, starting at just $30. — Jack Seemer

REI, Janji and Biolite Memorial Day Sales
Save 50%: With Memorial Day Weekend just around the corner, the big sales are starting to crop up already. Brands try to get ahead of the rush with a week-long relay push until Monday. We’ve rounded up a few of the top sales that start right now, so you can make sure to stock your cart with all the good stuff. — Meg Lappe

Raen Remmy Polarized Sunglasses
Save 50%: Today at Nordstrom, you can save 50 percent on some excellent sunglasses from the California-based brand Raen. Typically these sturdy, high-quality shades would run you upwards of $140 per pair, but thanks to this sale you can grab some before beach season hits for much, much less.

Patagonia Black Hole Duffel Sale
Save 25%: If you’ve never heard of Patagonia’s Black Hole duffel bags, you’ve likely spotted one in an airport, foreign train station or strapped to the roof of an overlander. Patagonia built the weather-resistant and sturdy bags to last decades with a rugged TPU-laminated ripstop nylon.

Adidas Ultraboost Sale
Save 20%: Pick up a pair of Adidas’s feel-good running sneakers for just $144 today. The Adidas Ultraboost is normally $180 but is 20 percent off. Here at Gear Patrol, the Boost sneakers we’ve tested have been some of our favorites — including the Solarboost — one of our best new running shoes of 2019, that’s also 50 percent off today, too. The hype around the new Adidas Ultraboost 19 is real, which means the original Ultraboost has been on sale quite frequently this year, but who know how long that will last. It’s responsive, so each footfall is soft yet fast. You can’t go wrong with a Boost purchase. — Meg Lappe

Goal Zero Yeti 1000 Portable Power Station
Save 25%: Goal Zero’s Yeti 1000 is one of the best portable power stations you can buy and today you can score a pretty rare deal on one. The normally $1,100 battery is down to just $825 right now on REI’s website; plus shipping is free if you pick it up at your nearest brick-and-mortar REI store.

Simplehuman Rectangular Step Trash Can
Save $20: Simplehuman’s top-of-the-line Rectangular Step Trash Can is engineered to last 150,000 steps (about 20 years of normal use); it features patented technology that dampens the noise from opening and closing the lid; its internal hinge is designed in such a way that you can place it against the wall without scratching it; and, perhaps most importantly, it’s airtight and keeps foul odors at bay.

Apple AirPods (First Generation)
Save $30: Apple introduced its second-generation AirPods a few months ago and, in doing so, started to phase out its original AirPods. As for comparison, the new AirPods are a little better than the originals — they can pair quicker to your iPhone and you can just say “Hey Siri” to initiate the voice assistant (no double tap needed) — but they look and sound the same. The good news is that since the new models are here, you’re going to see more frequent deals on the original AirPods. For example, you can buy them for $129 on eBay right now, which saves you $30. Essentially, if you don’t want to pay the $159 premium for AirPods, you don’t absolutely have to.

— Andy Frakes

Cotopaxi Fuego LT Down jacket
Save 50%: It might seem imprudent, foolhardy or even irresponsible to buy a down jacket when we’re a mere month away from the summer solstice — your cash is better spent on a bathing suit or a new hiking pack, right? Most will agree here, and both brands and retailers respond with discounts to move their insulating layers off the shelves. Cotopaxi is doing just that; it’s lightweight Fuego Down Jacket is currently 50 percent off, along with other items like windbreakers and fleeces.

Cotopaxi made the jacket with premium 950-fill water-resistant down that provides excellent warmth but is still slim and packable. The designers also included a touch of Polartec’s breathable synthetic Alpha insulation underneath the arms, and it has two interior and two exterior pockets. As far as down jackets go its regular price of $230 makes it notably affordable, but at $115, it’s the cheapest you’re likely to see a coat of this quality. For those with an adequate balance of foresight and patience, this deal is one not to miss. Plus, there are plenty of uses for down jackets in the summer too: hikes to higher elevations, chilly mornings and evenings and trips to the Southern Hemisphere are just a few. — Tanner Bowden

Todd Snyder x Timex Military Watch
Save 25%: Another Todd Snyder x Timex collaboration, another home run. This watch (available in 3 colors) sports a slim profile, a highly-legible dial, a reliable quartz movement and 1970s military-inspired cues with just enough modern styling to take it over the top. It even comes with an extra NATO strap in the box, so you can change up the look without laying out more cash. If you’ve been looking for a go-anywhere, do-anything watch, now’s your chance — pick one of these up while they’re on sale! — Andy Frakes


Mophie Powerstation 6,000mAh
Save $45: Mophie’s 6,000mAh universal battery isn’t the fanciest smartphone accessory, but it’s a great portable battery for most people to carry. It can add two additional charges to most smartphones; it has two USB-A charging ports so it can charge two devices at once; and it’s small enough to fit in your pants’ pocket. Best of all, the normally $50 portable battery is only $5 right now on eBay. That’s half as expensive as a New York City lunch. Expect this deal to go fast.

Epic Bars Sale
Save 45%:Today, you can save up to 45 percent off a variety of Epic products from meat bars to bacon bits to bone broth. Whether you’re more of a chicken or a steak guy, the Epic meat bars are a savory and protein-packed snack to stock up on. Epic makes some of our favorite beef jerky, and we have to admit the bars are just as good. Stash a bar in your gym bag, climbing sack or hiking pack, then hit the road. Shop the sale on Thrive today. — Meg Lappe


Polarized Ray-Ban Wayfarers
Save 55%:In the world of sunglasses, it doesn’t get much more iconic than a pair of Ray-Ban Wayfarers. First released in 1956, the design has hardly changed in over half a century. If you’ve been wanting the style, but the list price is more than you want to spend, Nordstrom Rack has you covered; you can get a pair of $188 Wayfarers in either black or Havana for just $80. What’s more, these Italian-made shades also come with polarized lenses to protect your eyes all summer long — hard to beat that.. — John Zientek


Mountain Hardwear Ghost Whisperer Sleeping Bag
Save $136: Mountain Hardwear debuted the Ghost Whisperer in 2012. The ultralight down jacket that weighs 7.8 ounces was the product of a collaboration with Swiss mountaineer Ueli Steck, who was an advocate for the fast-and-light approach to mountaineering. Despite its lightness, the jacket is windproof, water-resistant and warm. These same characteristics are present in the Ghost Whisperer Sleeping Bag, which Mountain Hardwear released last year in 20- and 40-degree versions. The bags are stuffed with water-resistant Q.Shield 900-fill down and feature super-light Whisperer exterior fabric, cinching mummy-style hoods and specially-designed no-snag zippers.

The 40-degree Ghost Whisperer sleeping bag, which is currently available at Mountain Steals with a 27 percent discount — that’s $136 off — is the lighter of the two and the perfect sleeping bag for warm summer nights. — Tanner Bowden

Panasonic ER-GB80-S Trimmer
Save 40%: If you needed an excuse to get on top of your grooming routine, the looming onset of beach season might do the trick. And for trimming anything from your beard to your back hair, it helps to have the right tool for the job. Enter the Panasonic ER-GB80-S, an electric trimmer with a waterproof design (yes, that means you can run it under the tap to rinse it out). The trimmer boasts a whopping 50 minutes of run time plus 39 different trim settings, adjustable in half-millimeter increments from just 0.5mm up to 20mm. The trimmer typically goes for $100, but thanks to a special Amazon deal, you can get yours today for just $60.
— Andy Frakes

Acaia Pearl Coffee Scale
Save $49: The reason pour-over coffee is seen as the purest form of coffee brewing isn’t that it’s always the best, but because it’s really damn hard to do well. Every required step — heat water, weigh beans, grind beans, bloom grinds and pour — demands an array of micro-decisions that have a huge impact. What’s peak extraction temperature? How many pours is best? What’s the ideal grind size? It’s a balance of science and skill, and there are few tools better suited for it than Acaia’s Pearl scale.

The Pearl provides 20-millisecond response times and accuracy down to .1 grams. Because it shows both time and weight during the brew process, you’re able to adjust bloom time, water volume used and total brew duration more easily. And if you don’t like taking notes or can’t remember your exact recipe, the Pearl tracks all your brews — time, temperature and weight — via Bluetooth connection to your phone.

Today on Ebay, the Pearl is 24 percent off — good for a $49 savings. Don’t forget a kettle. — Will Price

Lodge Cast-Iron Camp Oven
Save $24: Lodge’s deep-set camp oven is 13 pounds of heat-insulating cast iron. Legs allow coals to heat it from the base, a handle makes for easier movement around the fire and a tight-fitting lid keeps the outdoors out of your meal. Unlike most modern cast-iron cookware, it is not a precious thing. Today on Amazon, pick up the 5-quart size — plenty big to serve stew for four to six people — at an all-time low price of $41. What should you cook in it? Here’s a good place to start. — Will Price

Anker Smartphone Charging Accessories
Save Up to 36%: Quite a few of Anker’s smartphone charging accessories are on sale on Amazon right now. There’s a little bit of everything — from wireless charging pads to charging cables, portable batteries to multi-port wall adapters — and it’s all up to 36-percent off. We’ve highlighted a few of our favorite on-sale gadgets below, but you can see the full list here.

Today’s Best Deals: $80 Off Bose QuietComfort 35 II, a Massive Sale on Motorcycle Helmets & More

Welcome to Deals of Note, where Gear Patrol captures all the best deals of the day. You can also follow all our deal posts in the Deals section. Comments or concerns? We’d love to hear from you at deals@gearpatrol.com.

Bose QuietComfort 35 II
Save $80: Bose’s QuietComfort 35 IIs are some of the best noise-canceling headphones you can buy. Even with stiff competition from the likes of Sony, Bowers & Wilkins and Sennheiser, the Bose QuietComfort 35 II stand out: they’re lighter and more comfortable than any other headphones in their class. The noise-canceling abilities are pretty damn good, too. And today, they’re $80 off.

The headphones are refurbished, but this is the best deal we’ve seen on the Bose QuietComfort 35 IIs in a long time. According to the eBay seller, the pair has “been tested and restored to full function, factory standard condition” and they come with free, 30-day returns. The discount only applies to black models. — Tucker Bowe

Seiko 5 SNK615k1
Save 77%: Who can argue with a $70 mechanical watch? You get a perfectly sized 38mm case, 30m of water resistance, a scratch-resistant Hardlex crystal and a beautiful blue dial with lumed hands and a combination of slim indices and Arabic hour markers. An automatic Seiko 7S26 movement gives you 40 hours of power reserve and a day-date complication, and you also get a matching steel bracelet.
— Oren Hartov


Red Wing Heritage Moc-Toe 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


Italian-Made Oliver Peoples Sunglasses
Save 30%: If you’ve been waiting for a great sale to invest in a new pair of quality sunglasses, this is your chance. East Dane is currently offering 30 percent off a range of Italian-made shades from Oliver Peoples. At the sale, you can pick up both acetate and metal framed styles from the cult-favorite LA brand for as little as $266 — but sizes are selling quickly. — John Zientek


Gerber Center-Drive Plus Multi-Tool
Save 21%: After months of testing and evaluation, we recently published an updated version of our guide to the best multi-tools available. Our list includes one significant change in that our new Editor’s Pick is Leatherman’s Free P2, which unseated Gerber’s Center-Drive. Both tools rank highly because they’re incredibly easy to use with one hand, making them practical for a wide variety of jobs and tasks, but the Free P2 edged out the Center-Drive because each one of its tools deploys with one hand, not just the pliers.

The newest iteration of the Center-Drive, the Center-Drive Plus, comes equipped with scissors and a premium leather sheath. It’s 21 percent off at The Drop right now, bringing its price down to $100. — Tanner Bowden

Costa Farms Houseplants
Save 25%+: Thanks to a host of enormous horticulture companies enrolling as sellers, buying live plants on Amazon has become commonplace. One of the largest live plant operations in the world, Costa Farms sells a rotating stock of its 1,500-plus varieties on Amazon — some of which are on sale today.

The lot includes the flowering peace lily, a classic queen fern, succulents or, if you’re up for taking care of it, a bonsai tree. It’s worth noting that neither Costa Farms or Amazon is guaranteeing a Mother’s Day delivery, so tread carefully. All are at least 25 percent off and come pre-potted. — Will Price

Yamaha TT-S303 Turntable
Save $70: The Yamaha TT-S303 is a manual belt-drive turntable that sells for $450, but you can nab it for $380 at World Wide Stereo using the code GEAR at checkout. Aside from its good looks, the TT-S303 is a solid turntable for both vinyl lovers and those just getting into analog audio. The turntable has a built-in phono preamp, meaning you can hook it up directly to some bookshelf speakers and play; or you can turn off the built-in preamp and hook the TT-S303 up to your own amp or receiver, which caters it to more serious listeners. The turntable also comes with a pre-mounted cartridge so there’s no complicated installation process.

Arai Moptorcycle Helmets
Save up to $520: There’s a massive sale on Arai Helmets going on over at Revzilla where you can save up to $520 on certain models and sizes. Whether you’re preferred style is full-face helmets, three-quarter shell, or you prefer dirt, there’s an opportunity to save hundreds of dollars with most of the helmets upwards of 40% off. If you haven’t picked up a new lid for the 2019 riding season, now would be a good time to think about taking a look. — Bryan Campbell

United By Blue Warehouse Sale
Save 80%: Today starting at noon, you can shop United by Blue’s Warehouse sale where everything is over 50 percent off. The responsible brand will pick up one pound of trash from waterways for each product sold. Beyond buying a product, you can join the team on cleanups year round. And in the meantime, you can shop tees, jackets, boardshorts, hoodies and more at a seriously discounted price today. — Meg Lappe

Today’s Best Deals: Up to 50% Off Hundreds of Great Sneakers, Discounted Garage Essentials & Much More

Welcome to Deals of Note, where Gear Patrol captures all the best deals of the day. You can also follow all our deal posts in the Deals section. Comments or concerns? We’d love to hear from you at deals@gearpatrol.com.

Orient Defender Watch
Save Over 50%:Right now, you can get an Orient Defender for just $140 on Drop. The Defender features a steel 42mm case with 100m of water resistance, a mineral crystal, the Orient 46B40 automatic movement with day-date display and 24-hour indicator and a matching bracelet. Best of all, the Defender is available in multiple dial colors and, if you prefer a strap to the bracelet, you can take ad additional $10 off. — Oren Hartov


Julbo Cham Aviator Sunglasses
Save $50: Originally released in 1972, Julbo’s Cham Sunglasses are the direct result of the exploits of a nearly unknown mountain climber. His name was Yannick Seigneur, and he was the first person to ascend Makalu, the fifth-tallest mountain in the world by its West Pillar Route, among other feats. He also helped Julbo, a decades-old leader in mountain eye protection, test and refine eyewear. The Cham Sunglasses are a direct result of that collaboration.

In recent years, Julbo revived the Cham from its archives. Leather eye shields and nose pieces aren’t used commonly on expeditions today, but they do lend themselves to nostalgic mountain style. Right now, they’re 30 percent off at The Drop. — Tanner Bowden

Discounted Sneakers
Save up to 50%: Thanks to a massive sale at SneakersnStuff, you can pick up a new pair of shoes today for up to 50 percent off list price. Nike, Adidas, Reebok and New Balance are just a few of the brands you’ll find in the complete sale, and depending on what size you wear, you might find the perfect new kicks for as little as $30.
— Andy Frakes

Victorinox Fibrox Kitchen Knives
Save 25%: Ultra-cheap kitchen knives are a crapshoot — some are great values, others aren’t worth considering. Generally speaking, it’s a category rife with Chromium-rich knives that are shiny, totally resistant to water damage but chip and dull easily. From our testing, the best of the lot is Victorinox’s collection of Fibrox-handled knives — all of which are on sale on Drop today.

Of the thirteen discounted knives, the chef’s knife gets the most press. Recommended by Cook’s Illustrated, it’s tough, comes with a less-cumbersome handle than other frugal options and takes well to honing steel. The knife usually runs about $45, but can be had for $32 on Drop. — Will Price

Jegs Performance Tools
Save up to 33%: Committing to the “at-home mechanic” lifestyle isn’t an all or nothing deal. You can take it in steps and phases. Are you sticking to basic maintenance? You probably won’t need more than a decent wrench and socket set. Are you looking to do an engine swap? Well, that requires some more heavy-duty appliances. But, no matter how deep into the automotive DIY life you’re looking to go, there’s a big sale on Jegs performance tools today that’ll have you covered in some capacity. — Bryan Campbell

Fitbit Sale
Save 20%: Right now, you can save up to 20 percent off a variety of Fitbit trackers ranging from the entry-level Fitbit Charge 3 to the stat-heavy Versa and Ionic. All three come in a variety of color options. All three make great last minute gifts for Mother’s Day — which is this Sunday. Whether you’re looking to start counting your steps or need a way to send text message alerts to your cheer squad during your next marathon, one of these Fitbits will work. — Meg Lappe

Leatherman Skeletool
Save 20%: Leatherman’s best-selling Wave is one helluva a multi-tool. It has spring-action scissors, two knives, a saw and a ruler … not to mention 13 other tools you can read about here. But let’s face it. Most people don’t need that level of hardware. And that’s precisely why Leatherman offers other minimalist multi-tools like Skeletool.

The Skeletool is small, light and it only features things you’ll actually use — like a bottle opener and needle-nose pliers. The real kicker? It’s on sale, and you can pick one up at its cheapest price ever.

Today’s Best Deals: 37% Off a Great Breville Espresso Machine, Seriously Discounted Boots & More

Welcome to Deals of Note, where Gear Patrol captures all the best deals of the day. You can also follow all our deal posts in the Deals section. Comments or concerns? We’d love to hear from you at deals@gearpatrol.com.

Clarks Desert Boots
Save 30%:Few shoes have the kind of pedigree assigned to the Clarks Desert Boot — a simple suede chukka inspired by the crepe-soled boots worn by British officers in World War II. Sold by Clarks since the early 50s, the boots later became a favorite of style icons like Steve McQueen and Bob Dylan. Today, it’s the brand’s best-selling shoe, beloved for its unique combination of comfort, durability and polish. And, right now, you can score a pair in taupe suede for 30 percent off the normal asking price ($40 savings). — Jack Seemer


Breville Barista Touch
Save 37%: Breville’s collection of espresso machines strives to offer a machine fit for every level of coffee nerd. Today on Amazon, its most frugal touchscreen model is at an all-time low price.

The Barista Touch, which usually runs $1,000 or more, is outfitted with a built-in grinder, automatic dose control, a milk frothing wand and a touchscreen that allows you to customize and save drink profiles. It also uses Breville’s ThermoJet heating system, which primes the machine for shot pulling in three seconds or less.

It is worth noting that this machine doesn’t have an auto-tamp function, a vital and often misunderstood step in the espresso making process (ChefSteps does a good job explaining how to tamp properly). — Will Price

Timex MkI Field Watch
Save 38%: The Timex MkI, modeled after a military reference from the Timex catalog, is light, inexpensive, handsome, and perfect for the outdoors. It features a 40mm anodized aluminum case, a 24-hour dial, an acrylic crystal, a quartz movement, Indiglo illumination and 30m of water resistance. Right now, you can grab this black version of the MkI for just $59, a 38% savings off the list price of $95. — Oren Hartov


Vasque Clarion ’88 Hiking Boot
Save 25%: It used to be that only self-proclaimed “outdoorsy folks” with a deep knowledge of vintage gear could spot the value in a battered pair of Bean Boots or a well-worn Patagonia fleece at thrift stores. Now it seems as though everyone is into retro outdoor gear, whether the aim is to wear it ironically in the field or make a style statement in the streets. Recently though, the brands have caught onto the nostalgia, and are now digging into product archives to make the old new again.

Some of it, like The North Face’s Rage ’92 collection, aims for style. Others products integrate decades of technical innovations into dated silhouettes to make items that work as well as they look. Vasque’s Clarion ’88 hiking boot is one such example; the boot first debuted over 30 years ago, but Vasque brought it back last year with a durable waterproof upper and Vibram rubber outsole that make it a reliable model for trail use to this day. It’s on sale at REI for 25 percent off right now, along with a full range of other models from brands like Merrel, Keen, Salomon and more. — Tanner Bowden

Raen Sunglasses
Save 50%: Today at Nordstrom, you can save 50 percent on some excellent sunglasses from the California-based brand Raen. Typically these sturdy, high-quality shades would run you upwards of $140 per pair, but thanks to this sale you can grab some before beach season hits for much, much less.
— Andy Frakes

5.11 Tactical Sale
Save 20%: If you’re always ready, the 5.11 Tactical sale is for you. Today through Sunday, May 12, everything is 20 percent off. The brand makes tactical vests, shirts and pants in addition to bags, boots and carry-alls. Since 2003, 5.11 Tactical has worked with public safety professionals to make sure the gear they make works for first responders, law enforcement and fire and EMS volunteers. Here are a few items to help get you started. — Meg Lappe

Today’s Best Deals: $20 Off Western Rise’s New Oxford Shirt, 65% Off Tom Ford Sunglasses & More

Welcome to Deals of Note, where Gear Patrol captures all the best deals of the day. You can also follow all our deal posts in the Deals section. Comments or concerns? We’d love to hear from you at deals@gearpatrol.com.

It’s no secret that Western Rise makes some of the best everyday pants out there. So the brand’s launch of a Kickstarter campaign for its new Limitless Merino Wool Oxford Shirt is something that caught our attention.

Western Rise has spent two years researching, developing and testing the Limitless Merino Wool Shirt to ensure it’s up to the highest standards. It blends style and comfort with the benefit of odor resistance, temperature regulation, wrinkle resistance, durability and breathability. That’s thanks to the high-grade Merino wool, which is sourced sustainably from Australian sheep farms and then blended with polyester for a knit fabric that exhibits the best properties of both materials. The result is a slim-yet-classic Oxford button-down that works perfectly in a business setting, but can also stand up to long layovers and airport sprints without batting an eye. To save $20 on the retail price of the Limitless Shirt on Kickstarter, pre-order yours between now and May 15.

Kryptonite Kryptolok Mini 7 Bike Lock Sale
Save 40%: Aptly named, the Kryptonite Kryptolok Mini-7 with Front WheelBoltz is down from $33 to $20 today. No matter what city or town you bike in, it’s necessary to make sure your bike is safe from anyone who wants to get at it and buy a proper bike lock. The sleek black and silver vinyl-coated u-lock allows you to bike anywhere and attach your bike to the nearest pole and head to work, a class or a coffee meeting. With two stainless-steel keys, we recommend you keep one on your key ring and another in a safe spot (like your desk drawer or lock box at home), so you keep them separate in case one goes missing. Pick up one of these locks today for 40 percent off. — Meg Lappe

Italian-Made Tom Ford Sunglasses
Save 65%: Tom Ford makes some of the most tasteful luxury clothing and accessories available. As you’d expect with a reputation like that, the price point on everything from his shirts to sweaters to suits is sky high. Unsurprisingly, the brand’s sunglasses are something of a cult favorite and feature elegant curves and distinctive hinge detailing. Right now at Nordstrom Rack, you can save up to 65 percent on a few different Italian-made styles. Normally priced at over $400, these frames won’t cost more than a pair of traditional Ray-Bans while supplies last. — John Zientek


Orient Ray II Diver
Save 60%: With the Mako II, you get the new and improved Orient F6922 automatic movement with hand-winding capability and hacking seconds, a precise 120-click bezel, a mineral crystal, a 41.5mm stainless steel case, a stainless steel bracelet and 200m of water resistance. Available in three variations, this is a ton of value in a $325 watch, but right now you cab nab the Mako II on Drop for the almost laughably low price of $130. — Oren Hartov


Patagonia Nine Trails Backpack
Save 55%: While some hiking backpacks cram as many functions into as few liters as possible, others opt for the opposite tack: achieve utility through minimalism. This was precisely what Patagonia strove for in its Nine Trails packs, which launched last spring, and the company (as usual) landed its mark.

Instead of multiple compartments and various access points, the Nine Trails backpack has one spacious main compartment that’s accessed through a large U-shaped zipper. On the exterior are multiple stretchy sleeve-style pockets for storing items that need to be accessed routinely on the trail, like extra layers, water bottles and snacks. That’s essentially it, and the backpack is a success because of that simplicity (it’s one of our favorite daypacks for hiking). The bag isn’t without a couple of extras though — there are small zippered stash pockets inside, on the top and on the hipbelt, and a hydration sleeve with a port for the hose.

Compared to other hiking bags in Patagonia’s line, the Nine Trails is still new, but as long as you don’t mind last season’s colors — Classic Red and Sprouted Green — you can find the bag on sale for up to 55 percent off at Backcountry in both 20- and 28-liter capacities. — Tanner Bowden

Today’s Best Deals: Discounted Outdoor Furniture, 40% Off Au Sabot Pocket Knives & More

Welcome to Deals of Note, where Gear Patrol captures all the best deals of the day. You can also follow all our deal posts in the Deals section. Comments or concerns? We’d love to hear from you at deals@gearpatrol.com.

Coway Mighty Air Purifier
Save $68: On the cusp of allergy season, a timely deal: the Coway Mighty air purifier is marked down $68 at Amazon.

Recommended by everyone from the Wirecutter to Home Air Guides, the Mighty boasts a four-stage filtration system, washable pre-filter and “eco mode.” It’s not ideal for big rooms — Coway recommends placing it in spaces no bigger than 361 square feet — but it’s the right choice for most bedrooms and city apartments. The Mighty is already significantly less expensive than the competition, and today its discounted below last year’s Prime Day price. — Will Price

Au Sabot Le Thiers Pocket Knife
Save 40%: France is the gravitational center of the culinary world, so it’s fitting that the country also produces some of the finest cutlery available. The focal point of that industry is Thiers, a town in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region that’s home to roughly one hundred knife making companies as well as a museum dedicated to the art and process. Thiers blades aren’t just for chefs though; knives of every kind are created there, including Au Sabot’s Le Thiers pocket knife, which is currently 40 percent off at Huckberry.

Au Sabot’s ode to Thiers is a handsome folding knife with a 3.5-inch blade made of carbon steel that’s available with handles made of hardwoods like rosewood and olive as well as more exotic materials like the horn of African buffalo. The knife’s form was developed by the Confrerie du Couteau Le Thiers, which means “Brotherhood of the Thiers Knife,” during the nineties to pay homage to the town’s 600-year history crafting blades. Fifteen local masters worked over months to design the Le Theirs. Au Sabot makes its version by hand in its factory there and includes a fold-out corkscrew in the handle, which, as the French might say, is quite à-propos. — Tanner Bowden

Cheap Outdoor Furniture
Save 25-75%: No one would blame you for prioritizing indoor furniture to outdoor furniture when filling out a home. But, with warmer months fast approaching (or already here for some states), now is the moment to get at least something on the patio, porch or balcony.

That’s where Houzz’s Mid-Season Sale comes in, with a few thousand products marked down anywhere from 25 to 75 percent off. And while there are deals in nearly every furniture category, the markdowns on outdoor dining sets and weatherproof sofas and couches are the most noteworthy. The Mid-Season Sale will run until May 12. — Will Price

Snow Peak Collapsible Umbrella
Save 40%: It’s easy to leave your umbrella at home when your only option is a three-foot-long behemoth that doesn’t fit in your work bag. But any time an afternoon thunderstorm rolls into town, you probably find yourself wishing you’d brought it — or had bought one to keep in your office as well.

That’s the real joy of a compact and lightweight umbrella: you can drop it into your briefcase, backpack or messenger bag and forget it’s even in there (until the next mid-day storm, anyway). This specific model from Snow Peak — one of our favorite brands — measures only nine inches folded, weighs just under five ounces and is designed to collapse during heavy wind gusts rather than breaking or ripping, meaning it’ll get you through the season and many more to come. Best of all, it’s on sale at Nordstrom for just $34 today — that’s savings of more than 30 percent.
— Andy Frakes

Fitbit Versa Smartwatch
Save $20: Fitbit’s entry-level smartwatch, the Versa, is $20 off at Best Buy right now. The normally $200 smartwatch is a great option for anybody who doesn’t want to spend big on an Apple Watch, but still wants an easy way to track steps, calories burned, sleep and heart rate. Other than its looks — the Versa has a slim and lightweight design — a big selling point of this Fitbit smartwatch is its battery life; it can last several days, even if you wear it to bed. On the downside, the Versa doesn’t have a built-in GPS, meaning it’s not quite as capable a fitness tracker as other smartwatches.

Traska Freediver Watch
Save $50: With a 40mm stainless steel case, Seiko NH38A automatic movement, Super LuiNova lume, a 120-click unidirectional dive bezel and a sapphire crystal, the Traska Freediver is the perfect watch for summer, and best of all, you don’t have to allocate a month’s rent toward buying one. Right now, you can grab a Freediver in steel with a black sapphire bezel or in DLC-coated steel with a sapphire DLC bezel for just $350, or in steel with a stainless steel bezel for $375. — Oren Hartov

Welcome to Deals of Note, where Gear Patrol captures all the best deals of the day. You can also follow all our deal posts in the Deals section. Comments or concerns? We’d love to hear from you at deals@gearpatrol.com.

Timex Expedition Scout Watch
Save 24%: The Expedition Scout features a quartz movement, quick-set date and 50m of water resistance. Right now you can take 24% one of two versions: a black dial with a green canvas strap or a tan-colored dial with a blue fabric strap. Both watches feature Indiglo backlight technology and an inner 24-hour track for a handsome, military-inspired aesthetic. — Oren Hartov


Oxo Burr Grinder
Save $20: Walk into a coffee shop and ask any person behind the counter what you can do to make better coffee at home, and we’re willing to bet the answer will be the same: grind your own beans.

The reason: ground beans go stale quickly. The second a bean is ground, the essential oils and trapped aromatics are released and begin to fade — thus, from the moment beans are chewed up in a grinder, a flavor loss clock begins ticking.

Today on Amazon, Oxo’s excellent entry-level electric burr grinder is on sale from $100 to $80, matching its all-time low price. The Oxo grinder features 15 separate grind level settings and stainless steel burrs. It can grind 12 cups worth of coffee in 30 seconds or less. — Will Price

EMPOWERD Luci Solar Lantern
Save 52%: An inflatable camping lantern comes across as a gimmick, but MPOWERD’s Luci is a practical way to add ambiance to base camp without weighing down your backpack. The Luci has 135-lumen LED bulb that sheds enough light to illuminate the inside of a tent or the surface of a picnic table. Best of all though is that it doesn’t need batteries because it comes equipped with a solar panel that charges up during the day when artificial light isn’t needed. The Luci Color, a version of the light that emits various hues, is on sale now for just $12 thanks to a 52 percent discount. — Tanner Bowden


Bose Solo 5 TV Sound System
Save $100: The Bose Solo 5 TV sound system is a soundbar that’s ideal for small rooms and apartments. Normally $200, eBay is selling it for half that. It’s relatively small and can be placed on top of media console or mounted to the wall. If you’re having trouble hearing the dialogue from your TV’s speakers, this soundbar is a surefire way to fix that. It also has built-in Bluetooth, so you can stream music to when the TV is not in use.

Aer Travel Bags
Save 30%:If you have travel plans on the books for summer or are just in the market for a new commuter bag, head over to East Dane today. Currently, you can save 30 percent on a range of functional travel bags from Aer. Made from ballistic nylon, they cost as little as $56, so if you see a style you like, don’t wait — they’re selling quickly. — John Zientek


Butter Pat Estee Cast-Iron Skillet
Save 15%: All Butter Pat Industries hand-cast-iron skillets are produced in small batches, take a lot of time to make and are apparently the choice pan of famed Southern chef, Sean Brock. They’re smooth as hell, light enough to toss veggies in, sports pour spots that are actually useful and are among our favorite cast iron out there. But they’re also far more expensive than your average pan.

Today, Butter Pat’s best-selling 8-inch Estee skillet is on sale from $145 to $119 with code MOTHERSDAY19. This size skillet is good for a single steak, breakfast for two, cornbread and various other desserts and baking recipes. — Will Price

Today’s Best Deals: Over 60% Off the Orient Ray II Diver, $50 Off the Apple Watch Series 4 & More

Welcome to Deals of Note, where Gear Patrol captures all the best deals of the day. You can also follow all our deal posts in the Deals section. Comments or concerns? We’d love to hear from you at deals@gearpatrol.com.

Orient Ray II Dive Watch
Save Over 60%: Japanese brand Orient offers some of the best value in mechanical watches. The Orient Ray II Automatic’s retail price of $335 is a pretty good value to begin with. But right now, you can get it on a bracelet with choices of dial colors for just $130. There are also options on a rubber strap for $5 less and a very cool all-black version for just $35 more. — Oren Hartov


Herman Miller Furniture
Save 15%: Michigan-based furniture maker Herman Miller may very well be the keepers of the most treasured furniture designs of the mid-century modern era. The brand houses original works by names long cemented in design history: Charles and Ray Eames, Isamu Noguchi, George Nelson and more. Starting today, almost all of it is on sale.

The Herman Miller Spring Sale is the largest markdown on the company’s archival and recent work — a cool 15 percent off. Everything from the Eameses Lounge chair to Nelson’s Bubble lamps to the brand new Cosm office chair are on sale and ship for free. Happy shopping. — Will Price

Clarks Wallabees
Save 40%: Right now, you can save 40 percent on a pair of the Clarks Wallabee, a moc-toe shoe with a suede upper and an easy-wearing crepe sole.

While the Wallabee is a staple of the Clarks portfolio, it’s also the darling of a number of style experts and streetwear brands. In recent years, collaborations that riff on the Wallabee silhouette include OVO (Drake’s collective), Concepts and Supreme. If you want to pick up this iconic shoe for a solid deal, don’t miss this sale. — John Zientek

Adidas Ultraboost 19 Sale
Save $55: The Adidas Ultraboost 19 is down from $180 to $126 at Jackrabbit today in the white and red color. Back in December, Adidas launched the updated model of the ever-popular Ultraboost. We reviewed the shoe here and loved it for long runs. If you’re in the market for a shoe with plush cushion and a flexible and breathable upper, this shoe is for you. While there are limited sizes available, this is the first time we’ve seen the re-designed Ultraboost 19 on sale. Pick up a pair today at Jackrabbit. — Meg Lappe

Apple Watch Series 4
Save $50: New Apple products rarely discounted, so when they do it’s exciting. Take the Apple Watch Series 4. It was released this past fall and the cheapest model on Apple’s website still costs $399 — see here. You can occasionally find the same Series 4 on Amazon for $384, but it’s selling for well below that right now. At $349, it’s the cheapest that Amazon has ever discounted the Apple Watch Series 4. (This deal only applies to the 40mm model with a black sports loop band.) |

Oliver Peoples Sunglasses
Save 30%:If you’ve been waiting for a great sale to invest in a new pair of quality sunglasses, this is your chance. East Dane is currently offering 30 percent off a range of Italian-made shades from Oliver Peoples. At the sale, you can pick up both acetate and metal framed styles from the cult-favorite LA brand for as little as $266 — but sizes are selling quickly. — John Zientek


Evergoods CPL 24 Backpack
Save $69: A good everyday backpack is simple, durable and understated, and you’ll find few better examples than the Evergoods Civic Panel Loader 24, which is currently $69 off at Huckberry (the best deal we’ve seen on this bag). Evergoods — a relatively young company started by an ex-Patagonia engineer and one of GORUCK’s original co-founders — makes its backpacks in small-batches at its headquarters in Bozeman, Montana.

Since the CPL 24’s debut in 2017, multiple Gear Patrol staff members have adopted it as their daily driver for getting to and from the office. That says a lot, given how many backpacks we test out for reviews and buying guides. But the CPL 24 stands out because it balances a minimal look with a full set of features; a 500D nylon shell fabric treated with a water-resistant coating, a curved back panel that’s both comfortable and breathable and a side-access laptop compartment that fits computers up to 15 inches are just a few. Plus, while the CPL 24 is the ideal around-town pack, it’s capable enough to handle an impromptu hike too (the backpack includes pass-throughs for hydration hoses on both shoulders). — Tanner Bowden

LG B8 55-Inch OLED TV (2018)
Save Over $500: The LG B8 is the company’s entry-level OLED TV, but its picture quality is just as good as the company’s higher-end model, like the LG C8. If you’re looking to get an OLED TV, this is one of the best deals we’ve seen. The deal is on a 55-inch model, which is rare because it’s a really popular-sized TV. (Most homes don’t need or can’t fit, a TV that’s larger than 55-inches.) And it’s going for a little over $1,000, which is a lot less expensive than what LG is currently selling its 55-inch LG B8 OLED TVs. |

Schuberth C4 Spark Helmet
Save 53%: Riding a motorcycle is a delight for the senses, but it can grow a little weary on the ears after a while. Between the roar of the wind rushing past and the drone of the engine, it doesn’t take long for the sounds of a ride to push into the irritation zone—or even encroach on causing hearing damage.
Of course, a good helmet can help offset those potentially-deafening noises. And right now, one of the quietest helmets on the market today—the Schuberth C4 Spark Helmet—is on sale for a massive 53 percent off at RevZilla.
This sleek, compact helmet’s Direct Fiber Processing construction (it’s like carbon fiber, but with glass) means it weighs in at just a little over four pounds, but thanks to its German engineering—a process that included hours and hours of testing and aerodynamic optimization—your ears will think they’re encased in far more mass. Should the silence grow too off-putting, the Schuberth C4 Spark also comes with a speaker, microphone, and integral cell phone antenna pre-installed, as well as everything needed to plug the company’s SC1 communication system—which brings mobile phone integration, intercom functionality, and FM radio reception to the table—into the helmet. If you’ve been thinking about grabbing a new lid now that riding season has picked back up and you’re a fan of this German helmet’s style, there’s no reason to wait.
— Will Sabel Courtney


Hamilton Watches
Save 25%: Hamilton is always easy to recommend for fun and high-quality, Swiss entry-level luxury watches at affordable prices. It’s even easier when we find them discounted, and right now Macy’s is offering 25% off a wide range of great watches from Hamilton with the promo code FRIEND at checkout. — Zen Love

Today’s Best Deals: Big Savings on R.M. Williams Boots, Refurbished Bose Headphones & More

Welcome to Deals of Note, where Gear Patrol captures all the best deals of the day. You can also follow all our deal posts in the Deals section. Comments or concerns? We’d love to hear from you at deals@gearpatrol.com.

Kershaw Natrix Knife Sale
Save 34%: Kershaw’s blacked out Natrix pocket knife is down to just $28 today on Amazon. The handle and blade are sleek, yet tactical-looking. The just over three-inch blade of 8Cr13MoV black-oxide coated steel performs in all conditions, yet is still affordable. Deploy the blade quickly thanks to a KVT ball-bearing opening or SpeedSafe assisted opening (early production models have the latter). It weighs in under 3-ounces so you can clip it to any pocket or belt loop without feeling a thing.

You can pick up the EDC on Amazon for 34 percent off.
— Meg Lappe

Filson Shirts
Save Up to 55%: Filson’s high-quality shirts are known to be expensive. They typically cost around $115 — a significant chunk of change — and are extremely well-made and durable. But thanks to this sale from Zappos, several great Filson shirts are up to 55 percent off. That means you’ll pay as little as $52 for a shirt that’s likely to outlast everything else in your closet. Deals like this don’t come around too often, so pick up one of these while you can. — Andy Frakes

Burrow Sofas
Save Up to 20%: Last week, Burrow, the company that makes our favorite internet sofa, released an updated take on its original couches. The Nomad Collection comes with a slew of neat updates and a new leather upholstery option.

You could hop on the company’s new couch train, or you could take advantage of its newly discounted old ones — all of Burrow’s first sofas, loveseats, chairs and chaise kings are marked down between 15 and 20 percent off. They’re modular, covered in stain-resistant fabric, have a built-in USB cord, come in a variety of colors and ship for free. Available while supplies last. — Will Price

R.M. Williams Chelsea Boots
Save 25%:In 1932, Reginal Murray Williams founded his eponymous brand in Adelaide, South Australia, offering saddles, riding boots and other leather goods for cattlemen. The boots, in particular, were a hit. Made from a single-piece leather upper, they had a clean silhouette, a simple pull-on style and superior durability. And over the past eight decades, the design hasn’t changed much.
In recent years, however, the brand received investment from L capital — a private-equity fund sponsored by LVMH (Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy) — along with IFM Investors and Hugh Jackman. The influx of resources and capital has allowed R.M. Williams to expand on a global scale, offering its iconic boots to a much wider audience. You can pick up a pair at East Dane, where the classic Chelsea boot style is now on sale.
Available in both full-grain leather and suede, it features elastic insets, branded pull-tabs and leather soles. The current sale offers 25 percent off — that’s savings up to $162. — John Zientek


Black Diamond Spot Headlamp
Save 37%: If there’s one camping accessory to buy heading into summer, it’s a headlamp, and Black Diamond’s Spot, which is currently only $25 at Amazon thanks to a 37 percent discount, is better than a safe bet. It’s simple, but don’t take that to mean that it’s basic. The Spot uses three AAA batteries, is fully waterproof, and features a main light with 300 lumens of brightness. According to Black Diamond, it can shoot a beam of light 80 meters (262 feet), but we’re more impressed by how easily you can swap between its various modes (beam, flood, strobe, red night vision) and how its brightness is adjustable as necessary.

Black Diamond recently updated the Spot — it’s smaller, brighter and has a second button — and the model that’s on sale is the older one. At $25, it’s still an excellent deal on an even better headlamp that we’ve considered to be the best for years, but if you have to have what’s new, it’s only $15 more (you can buy it here). — Tanner Bowden

Succulents on Amazon
Save 25%: If you are someone with a thing for succulents, you need to get to Amazon quickly.

Part of today’s lot of Amazon Deals of the Day, a whole mess of succulents (and bonsai trees, for what it’s worth) are discounted by 25 percent. The sale includes everything from packs of five to packs of twenty, all pre-potted with soil.

If you’re new to keeping plants alive, here’s the short of it: succulents don’t need water often, prefer long bouts of direct sunlight and take up very little space. Buy a pack of 20 and dole them out on Mother’s Day. — Will Price

Bose QuietComfort 35 II
Save $80: You can buy the normally $350 headphones on eBay for $270 — that’s $80 off. They are refurbished which might be a red flag for some, but this is still the best deal we’ve seen on the Bose QuietComfort 35 II in a long time. You can occasionally find them discounted on Amazon or Best Buy for $300, but it’s not that often. The discount only applies to black models.

Timex Watches
Save Up to 25%: Just a week ago, Timex ran a sale on some of our favorite field watches. This week, the brand is going even further, offering a discount of 15% off purchases of $49+ or 25% purchases of $99+ with the discount code “TREATYOURSELF.” Whether you need a watch for the beach or something with a 12-hour bezel for keeping track of a second time zone, Timex has a summer watch for you. — Oren Hartov


Helinox Chair One Camp Chair
Save $55: Unlike a tent and a sleeping bag, the camp chair is a piece of outdoor furniture that many of us are perfectly okay with leaving behind. For many, the most packable of them aren’t comfortable enough to warrant schlepping up the side of a mountain, and the most comfortable are too cumbersome for any campsite that’s too far from a vehicle. Enter Helinox’s Chair One: it weighs roughly two pounds and packs down smaller than many sleeping bags yet offers elevated seating (so your bum won’t freeze on the ground) and comfortable back support. Helinox achieved this by building the chair with folding aluminum DAC poles that come together just like the ones your tent uses. The seat is nylon and mesh.

With the Chair One, it doesn’t matter where you stand in regard to backcountry seating — if you hate camp chairs, this is the one to turn you; if you love them, here’s your upgrade. It’ll work for camping trips but can also handle outings to the neighborhood park and is perfect for outdoor concerts too. It’s also marked down by 44 percent — that’s $55 off — at Mountain Steals. In addition to the Chair One deal, Mountain Steals is offering discounts on more packable outdoor seating from Helinox; there’s a larger (and smaller) version of the Chair One, a rocking chair, a swivel chair and more. — Tanner Bowden

Wolverine Boots
Save 25%: Founded in 1883, Michigan-based Wolverine builds a range of rugged and dependable boots. The brand’s classic style, the 1000 Mile boot, is now on sale at East Dane. Available in two iterations — the original 1,000 Mile style and the Evans style — you can save at least $96 a pair. If you’ve been waiting to purchase a pair of American-made boots, this is a chance to score one of the best for a solid price.
— John Zientek


Jenson’s Road and Mountain Bike Sale
Save 45%: Jenson’s, an online bike shop, has its annual sale this week. You can save up to 45 percent on a variety of high-end road, mountain and commuter bikes. If you were waiting for the perfect time to buy a mountain bike (the season’s starting this month) consider this your green light. We’ve picked through a couple of highlights below, but you’ll have to pick through as there are limited sizes in each model. — Meg Lappe

Instant Pot Duo
Save Up to 40%: Today, the Instant Pot Duo, the best model for people who aren’t worried about looks, is one of Amazon’s Deals of the Day.

Starting at $48, the three-, six- and eight-quart models are all marked down to prices that match all-time lows on Amazon. The Duo does everything that made the Instant Pot famous in the first place: pressure cook, slow cook, steam, sautee and a whole pile of presets for specific foods (chili, yogurt, soup and so on). But unlike the newer and more premium Ultra and Max models, it doesn’t have an LCD display or a few more fringe preset cooking modes. If you’re cooking for more than one person, we recommend upgrading to the six-quart Duo. If you’re new to the Instant Pot landscape, let some of our favorite IP-specific recipes be your guide. — Will Price

Jomers Long Sleeve Polos
Save 40%: If you’ve been looking to update your warm-weather wardrobe, you should consider picking up a long sleeve polo shirt from Jomers. Made in Peru, the fabric for this shirt is woven into a pique from Oxford Pima yarn. Then the brand roasts the fabric in an oven, singeing the wispy Oxford fibers to produce an incredibly smooth texture. Available in five colors — sky blue, white, navy, dark blue and burgundy — Jomer’s slim-fit long sleeve polo shirts are now 40 percent off and cost just $18. Sizes are already selling out quickly, so if you want to pick up one (or several) of these for yourself, don’t wait.
— Andy Frakes

Breville Duo-Temp Pro Espresso Machine
Save $68: From the fully kitted Oracle Touch to the bare bones Duo-Temp Pro, there’s an espresso maker for everyone in Breville’s line of machines. Today on Jet, the latter is as cheap as you’ll find it.

The Duo-Temp Pro — which retails for $400, not Jet’s listed $699 — comes with Breville’s excellent milk wand, a 54mm tamper, PID temperature control and the option to use pressurized or non-pressurized gaskets. Basically, it pulls consistent, clean shots of espresso and can foam up some milk. It’s also significantly smaller than most of Breville’s espresso offerings. Make sure you have a grinder. — Will Price

Save 43%: Right now, you can save up to 43 percent off the only two kettlebells you’ll need to stock up your home gym. Both the 10- and 20-pound Yes4All cast iron kettlebell sets are on sale on Amazon. Each pair has a painted black finish that will help with grip when you’re pumping out that last thruster and making it easier to hold steady during Farmer Walks. The flat bottom is imperative for put-downs and pick-ups, and the wide handle offers enough space for single and double arm swings, deadlifts, skull crushers, bicep curls and overhead presses. If you’re looking for a way to increase the intensity on your body weight workouts, these two sets of weights are a great place to start. Shop both sales today on Amazon. — Meg Lappe |

And thanks to a Gore-tex membrane built into the boot, you can stand in ankle-deep water without getting your socks wet.

While these boots are normally $235, End has a full-size run of each for just $155 today.

Samsung Smartwatches
Up to $70 Off: To celebrate Mother’s Day, Samsung is discounting all its smartwatches. You can save $70 on the Gear S3 frontier (normally $300), which is a few years old but still the company’s most rugged smartwatch. You can save $50 on the Galaxy Watch (normally $300) that was announced last year. Most notably, you can save $20 on the company’s newest smartwatch, the Galaxy Watch Active (normally $200), which is the best option for athletes and fitness-focused individuals. The deals are valid through May 11.

Garmin Edge 920 Cycling Computer
Save $90: You don’t need a cycling computer; route planning and riding are done easily without one. But the mini handlebar dashboard has its advantages: not only the basics like speed, time and altitude but also detailed route information, specific feedback to help hit training goals and tracking for everyone else that you’re riding with. Garmin’s Edge 820 provides access to all of these features (and many more) with a touchscreen-equipped construction that’s easy to use and easy to read. Right now it’s on sale for 26 percent off — that’s $90 in savings. — Tanner Bowden


Saint Unbreakable
Save Up to 40%: Saint Unbreakable prides itself on finding the happy medium between functional and fashionable motorcycle apparel. While Saint Unbreakable clothing does carry a timeless vintage style, it also incorporates a liberal amount of Dyneema for abrasion resistance. The upside to the brand’s method and style is there’s no extra bulk so Saint’s riding jeans and jackets can be worn pretty much anywhere, off the bike. On the other hand, the single layer construction is just that and only acts as protection against slides, not hard knocks as there is no armor for impacts.

That’s not to say you should pass on what Saint Unbreakable has to offer. If you’re looking for more casual riding gear for around town, chances are Saint Unbreakable has what you’re looking for. It is more of a lifestyle brand so prices will be on the higher side, but luckily, today, you can save up to 40% on a whole bunch of Saint Unbreakable apparel, from jeans and jackets to shirts and hats. — Bryan Campbell
