Welcome to Deals of the Week, where Gear Patrol captures all the best deals that are still going strong. 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.

MONDAY, MARCH 25



Nike Sale
Save 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.

And since each pair fits your foot, it’s easy to swap heavy hiking boots to lightweight open-toed sandals when your vacation week consists of sunning and relaxing with some active moments in between. To scoop up these deals (and many more), you’ll have to become an REI member, which is an annual cost of just $20.

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
Save 46% Today J.Crew has marked down its classic striped anorak by 46 percent, making the already attractive casual spring layer that much harder to pass up.

The cotton layer features button cuffs, a zippered neck, and front pocket as well as drawstrings at the hood and waist. All of this comes together to make the loose-wearing casual layer an ideal pick for the slow but steady transition from winter to spring. 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


TUESDAY, MARCH 26



Patagonia Micro Puff Sale
Save 20%: Last year, we awarded the Patagonia Micro Puff jacket our editor’s choice award for best synthetic down jacket. We were impressed by the weight, water-repellent nylon shell and use of a unique baffling construction that prevents insulation from bunching. The PlumaFill insulation ensures warmth during some of the coldest days. Right now, you can pick up this jacket and save over $50. Just use the code TAKE20MARCH to get 20-percent off the Micro Puff at Backcountry. The code is applicable to one full-priced item, so if the Micro Puff isn’t for you, there are plenty of other awesome jackets to choose from.
— Meg Lappe


Persol PO9714 Foldable Sunglasses
Save 80%: If you want a screaming deal on a pair of iconic Italian sunglasses, don’t sleep on this deal. Right now at Massdrop, you can save 80 percent on the classic PO9714 folding sunglasses from Persol. The style comes in three colors — red tortoise, yellow tortoise and madreterra — and costs just $85 (the shades will ship on April 16).

The PO9714 is a modern take on the brand’s famous 9649 style (made famous by Steve McQueen) and features a handmade acetate frame with signature arrow hinges and a keyhole bridge. Made in Italy, the style folds for easy storage and comes with a carrying case. If you’ve been waiting to buy a great pair of shades, don’t wait — this deal ends in a couple of days. — John Zientek



REI Camping Bundle Sale
Save $75: Right now, you can pick up a three-season tent, the REI Co-op Passage 2-person tent with a Stratus insulated air pad and Trail Pod 30 sleeping bag all together for just $200. If you’re looking to start camping this spring, this set has everything you need. Pick a spot, book it and take those vacation days.

The tent weighs just over five pounds and comfortably sleeps two. The floor is water-resistant for those dew-covered mornings, and thanks to the sleeping bag, you’ll stay warm in case the temperatures drop down to 30F.

You’ll save $75 on the bundle when you buy the tent, pad and sleeping bag together, plus if you’re an REI member, you’ll get 10 percent back that you can spend in April.

Tons of Grills
Save Up to $200: Today, for reasons unknown, the internet is riddled with deals on grills. Not deals on just any grills, but grills we genuinely like. And not just deals on grills we like, but grills in almost every category of grilling. We’re talking Weber’s well-reviewed entry-level gas grill, a stowable, cast-aluminum charcoal grill, a wood pellet grill-smoker combo and more. We’ve picked our favorite of the lot below. —Will Price

Kershaw Shuffle Folding Knife
Save Over 50%: Kershaw is a manufacturer well known by people who rely on their blades to get a job done, and the brand’s Shuffle folding knife offers more than just a clean cut. A bottle opener is built into the back of the knife handle; the butt of the knife is shaped to double as a flathead screwdriver, and can also be used as a lanyard or keychain attachment. The small size and ergonomically-shaped grip make this a pocketable piece of gear that can work for anybody’s EDC kit, and today you can get two for the price of one thanks to this Massdrop deal.

Get yours before they’re gone — after all, the stock’s going to sell out twice as fast. — Andy Frakes


WEDNESDAY, MARCH 27



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


THURSDAY, MARCH 28



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


Clif Bar Shots, Hydration Mixes and Energy Snacks
Save up to 30%: Clif Bar, which makes some of our favorite pre, during and post-workout snacks are currently on sale at The Feed. 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


FRIDAY, MARCH 29



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

Today’s Best Deals: Paleo-Approved Snacks from CHOMPS, 50% Off Reebok Sneakers & 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 not that snacking is inherently bad for you, it’s just that most quick bites bring as many fillers and weird ingredients like mechanically separated chicken as they do nutrition. Then there are CHOMPS meat sticks, which are free of substitute ingredients like added sugar, artificial preservatives, fillers or MSG — the kind of stuff you’ll find in a lot of low-quality meat snacks. That’s not to say CHOMPS is average though with its 9-10 grams of grass-fed free range protein in each stick. Choose from nine different flavors, from simple Salt & Pepper Venison to Hoppin’ Jalapeño Beef. And they’re certified Paleo and Keto-friendly, too. Use the code GEARPATROL19 at checkout for 20 percent off and free shipping on your next order.

When used as a fountain pen, it features the Schmidt FH 241 fine point nib and comes with nine refillable ink cartridges; it also has the ability to switch to a 0.5 PRS ballpoint head.

Get yours before they’re gone — after all, the stock’s going to sell out twice as fast. — Andy Frakes

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.



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
Save 46% Today J.Crew has marked down its classic striped anorak by 46 percent, making the already attractive casual spring layer that much harder to pass up.

The cotton layer features button cuffs, a zippered neck, and front pocket as well as drawstrings at the hood and waist. All of this comes together to make the loose-wearing casual layer an ideal pick for the slow but steady transition from winter to spring. 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

Today’s Best Deals: Discounts on Some of Nike’s Best Running Shoes, 20% Off an Award-Winning Coffee Brewer & 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 Leek Sale
Save 54%: Kershaw’s Leek pocket knife is unremarkable at first glance. It’s slim, with a three-inch, drop-point blade and a thumb stud for opening, like many everyday task-oriented blades. But not all knives are flash and flourish, and the unsuspecting Leek is innovative, iconic even, for the mechanism inside of it.

That small bit of machinery is called SpeedSafe, and it was developed by Ken Onion, a former US Marine and an industry-renowned knife designer who has created more than 30 patents for blade technologies. SpeedSafe was his remedy for restrictive laws against switchblades; it’s a fast and smooth mechanism that springs to life partway through the action of opening the blade (think of it as semi-automatic). If this sounds familiar, that’s because even though Onion designed the tech for Kershaw, many other companies have since adopted similar variations.

The Leek is great because it’s so simple, and if you’re in need of a solidly-reliable pocket knife for everyday use it’s a good option. Right now you can get a Leek with carbon fiber handles for 54 percent off at Massdrop.
— Tanner Bowden



Wilfa Coffee Brewer
Save $30: Norwegian designed Wilfa coffee makers are quick to brew, heat with precision and come with a few smart, convenient features. They’re also just gorgeous.

Released in 2017, the WSP-1A features simple flow control, a hot plate, detachable water reservoir (something that should be standard in every coffee maker) and owns both a Red Dot Design Award and iF World Design Guide award. Today, the brewer is marked down to $140 on Ebay — the lowest price we’ve seen for this model, and a far cry from the $400 retail price it launched with a couple of years back. —Will Price



Peet Original Boot Dryer
Save 20%: If you want your boots to last for years, proper care and maintenance are crucial. Along with keeping them clean and oiled, you should make a point to fully dry them if they’re worn in damp conditions. While you could let them dry at room temperature, it’s actually better and faster to use a Peet dryer.

“If your boots are wet, we recommend using a boot dryer like a Peet shoe dryer or let them dry a room temperature,” said Eric Kinney, the vice president of operations at White’s Boots in Spokane, Washington. “We don’t recommend putting your boots on a heater vent. When leather starts to crack there is not much you can do except get it rebuilt.”

The Peet Original Boot Dryer silently dries and deodorizes footwear in three to eight hours and works effectively with a range of materials. The dryer channels slightly-warmed air through two chambers while using less electricity than a standard light bulb. What’s more, it has a staggering 25-year warranty.

Normally $50, this essential piece of gear is now 20 percent off at Amazon and costs just $40. So if you care about keeping your boots in prime condition, pick one of these up today. — John Zientek



Nike Sale
Save 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.

5 Discounted AV Receivers
Save Up to $100: An audio/video (AV) receiver is an essential part of any home theater. It connects your beloved passive speakers to your TV and enables you to build out a surround system (if you have more speakers). Right now Amazon is selling several of these newer AV receivers at discounted rates – save up to $100. It’s a great time to invest in one, especially with all the March Madness gamings coming down the pipeline. — Tucker Bowe

Today’s Best Deals: Discounts On Jöttnar’s Premium Technical Outerwear, $180 Off an Excellent 4K TV & 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.

Founded in 2013 by two former Royal Marine commandos, Jöttnar is a small British brand that produces ultra-high quality technical outerwear for climbing and skiing. Every item in its concise line — hardshell and down jackets, mid layer fleeces, hardshell pants, baselayers and hats — is made with the finest materials and manufacturing techniques to endure the harshest conditions. Many of the garments are waterproof, windproof, breathable and warm enough to survive where only Royal Marine commandos would venture. And Jöttnar is currently running a spring sale with 20 percent off sitewide with the discount code SPRING20. There’s no better time to upgrade to some of the world’s top-performing outerwear.




Au Sabot L’Armor Pocket Knife
Save 25%: 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 25 percent off. — Tanner Bowden


Blunt XL Umbrella
Save 40%: We love a good rain jacket but admit that they leave something to be wanted. They’re visibly technical in appearance, sweaty in warm weather and most won’t stop your thighs from getting wet. In towns and cities, we often prefer an umbrella, and our favorites are those made by a New Zealand-based company called Blunt. That’s because it uses a radial tensioning system to keep the fabric taught and blunted spokes that are easy on the eyes (in more than one way).

We like them so much that we stock them in the Gear Patrol Store, but right now, Blunt’s XL-sized umbrella, which the company tested in 72mph winds and weighs under two pounds, is 40% off at Massdrop. If you’d rather save your technical rain jacket for the trail, a sturdy umbrella is your best alternative. — Tanner Bowden



TCL 6 Series 4K TV (2018, 65-inch)
Save $180: March Madness is around the corner and if you’re looking for a 65-inch 4K TV to binge watch all the games, TCL’s 6-Series (2018) is a great one to consider. Not only is it a great 4K TV that supports both HDR10 and Dolby Vision, but it’s also one of the few new-ish 65-inch 4K TVs that are under $1,000. In a recent review, CNET‘s David Katzmaier wrote “TCL’s 6 series is the best TV value we’ve ever reviewed.” Amazon just dropped the price of TCL’s 65-inch 6 Series to its lowest price ever. The $1,000 TV is on sale right now for $820 — that’s $180 off. If you’re at all interested in buying a 65-inch 4K TV without having to break the bank, this is as great as ever an opportunity to do just that.

Today’s Best Deals: 31% Off SOG’s CrossCut Multi-Tool, Over $100 Off Technivorm’s Moccamaster & 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.



Moccamaster CDG Coffee Maker
Save $110: Launched in 1969, the original Moccamaster was the first coffee maker ever approved by the Specialty Coffee Association’s rigorous home brewer program, is easy as hell to use and it’s never lost its sleek ’60s aesthetic. Altogether, it’s got serious claims on being the best coffee maker money can buy. Today, the grail coffee pot is marked down a healthy $110 on Massdrop.

Who shouldn’t get a Moccamaster? If you value programmability or scheduling brew times in advance, look toward Oxo’s Barista Brain or Breville’s Precision Brewer. Don’t forget the filters. —Will Price



American Trench Socks
Save an Extra 30%: For many, the sock drawer is one of the more neglected wardrobe nooks. Though socks get repeated wear and laundering, they’re often not replaced as soon as they should be. If your sock drawer is in need of a refresh, head over to American Trench today where you can save an additional 30 percent on all sale socks. Choose from recycled cotton and wool blends in a range of colors — there’s something for everyone. — John Zientek


SOG CrossCut Multi-tool
Save 31%: Most butterfly-style multi-tools build on a base of pliers, with knives, screwdrivers and bottle openers folding out of the handles, but not the SOG CrossCut, which is currently on sale at REI for 31 percent off. Instead, SOG put a pair of spring-loaded scissors front and center, with a knife, bottle opener, two screwdrivers, nail file, ruler, toothpick and tweezers available in its handles. It’s a setup that’s more practical for general users who don’t find a daily need for pliers or more specialized tools like awls and wire cutters, and with a 2.5-inch length when closed it’ll fit neatly on the keychain you already carry. — Tanner Bowden


Kamado Joe XL Grill
Save 21%: The Kamado Joe is a heavy, ceramic, heat-retaining, outdoor grill, smoker and oven that’s backed by a lifetime warranty. In some ways, it’s a Big Green Egg that you can buy online (Eggs are only sold by certified retailers on location). But it comes with features the Big Green Egg doesn’t — a “Divide & Conquer cooking” system, ash drawer and a much better-fitting lid. The former is a cooking system that allows grates to slide up or down in certain sections to grill different foods at different temperatures and the latter two are just really nice convenience bonuses.

Today on Ebay, the 24-inch Kamado Joe — the brand’s largest model — is more than $500 off. Don’t forget the charcoal. —Will Price



Uniqlo Rain Jackets Sale
Save $50:
Right now you can pick up a Uniqlo rain jacket for under $100. With spring right around the corner, you’re going to need a proper rain jacket to handle commutes, travel and more. There are five different styles available, each under $100. Pick from a deep brown, navy or forest green, all in a boxy fit with vintage accents. Tomorrow is the official start to spring, so now’s the best time to stock up and save over $50 on a new style. — Meg Lappe


Ultimate Ears Boom 3 Speaker
Save $30: Like its predecessors, the Ultimate Ears Boom 3 speaker boasts 360-degree stereo audio output and holds a reputation for go-anywhere ruggedness. It also packs some noteworthy upgrades like wireless charging (dock sold separately) and Ultimate Ears’s new “Magic Button” control interface.

While you could always go for a similar speaker from Bose or Sony, the Boom 3 offers a lot of durability and plenty of sound in a well-designed package. A good value at its MRSP of $150, you can pick up the Boom 3 today for just $120. — Andy Frakes

Today’s Best Deals: 20% Off Aluminum Suitcases from Tumi, 51% Off Herman Miller’s Aeron Chair & 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.



Tumi 19 Degree Aluminum Suitcases
Save 20%:Aluminum luggage is both incredibly durable and very striking. Unlike suitcases made with poly shells, aluminum carry-ons will protect your belongings from crush-related damage. And due to the nature of the material, they’ll also develop wear-patterns based on your travel, a jet-setter’s patina.

Though many aluminum suitcases are prohibitively expensive, you can currently save 20 percent on a couple solid options from Tumi. Both the International and Continental Carry Ons are now reduced at East Dane. Featuring four rolling wheels, TSA-integrated combination locks, interior zip pockets and a retractable handle, they’re well worth the small investment they command. — John Zientek




Seiko Watches
Save 45%: Seiko consistently offers some of the best value for money in watches, even before the sales start. That being said, we all relish the opportunity to save even more, and right now Macy’s is offering deep discounts on tons of popular models, from the Presage dress watch line to the professional Prospex diver models. With such variety on offer, there’s truly something for everybody. Use the code “VIP” at checkout to nab the extra 25% off. — Oren Hartov


Weston Backcountry Splitboards
Save up to $180: You don’t have to ride chairlifts to snowboard. Actually, the best snow and most interesting terrain are far from resort boundary ropes; you just have to walk to get to it. You’ll want a splitboard, a snowboard that separates into two skis for climbing with skins. Weston Backcountry makes some of the best available, and four of its models are on sale at REI right now for 20 percent off, a savings of nearly $200.
?
In many places, winter is already on its way out, and ski resorts will be closing in a matter of weeks (except in California; Mammoth recently announced that it would stay open through the Fourth of July). This is good news for splitboarders — it means that you’ll have resorts to yourself all spring until the last flake melts. — Tanner Bowden


Bellroy Backpacks Sale
Save 20%: Save up to 20 percent off two sleek backpack styles from Bellroy. The Campus Backpack and Shift Backpack come in a handful of neutral colors, and both have plenty of space for your laptop, a change of clothes, keys, watch, a camera and whatever else you like to carry to and from work every day. Both bags are water-resistant meaning they’ll hold up during a rainy or sunny commute. As you start to think about warmer weather and the possibility of biking to work, a sturdy and spacious backpack should be top of mind. These two packs have just the right amount of space, plus look good whether you’re meeting a client for coffee or dinner or are going from the gym directly to the office. — Meg Lappe|

Bose Home Speaker 500
Save $50: Released this past summer, the Bose Home 500 is the company’s first Alexa-enabled smart speaker. You can think of it as being very similar to a Sonos One – you can ask Alexa to change songs, turn up the volume, or control your smart home devices – but the Home 500 can play with other Bose speakers instead of Sonos speakers in a multi-room setup.

If you want an Alexa-enabled smart speaker that sounds great on its own or can be paired with other Bose speakers, the Home 500 is a great and safe bet. Normally $400, you can get it for $50 less on Amazon today. — Andy Frakes



Herman Miller Aeron
Save 51%: By virtually any measure, Herman Miller’s Aeron task chair is one of, if not the, greatest desk chair of all-time. Bill Stumpf and Don Chadwick’s design features supreme adjustability: seat height, arm height, lumbar support, reclining tension and forward and rear tilt locks. It was the first successful integration of airy mesh into task chair design. Shoot, it even earned a spot in the Museum of Modern Art’s permanent collection. Fair or not, any company that releases a high-end office chair today must bear comparison to the Aeron.

Today, the Aeron is 51 percent off on Ebay. These specific products are open-box models, which means they’re somewhere between new and used — so it’s fair to approach with caution (it may be worth contacting the seller before dropping close to $500). That said, this is about as affordable as an Aeron will go for. —Will Price

Today’s Best Deals: Stanton Watches’ Hand-Crafted Timepieces, $45 Off an Heirloom-Worthy Skillet & 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.

Mike Stanton was introduced to watches at a young age and quickly became enamored with the art of a mechanical timepiece. After years of collecting watches, he decided to teach himself the intricacies of mechanical movements by assembling them on his own. After a few years, he took it a step further and began building one-off custom watches for friends and family as a hobby. In 2011, after gaining a reputation for high-quality mechanical timepieces with traditional style and meticulous attention to detail, he decided to launch The Stanton Watch Co.

Each watch is made from many precision parts that Mike Stanton personally assembles to create a sophisticated and finely tuned timepiece. A Stanton Watch is constructed with exactitude, patience, passion and a lifetime of love for mechanical movements.

Get $75 off all Stanton Watches by using the code GP75 at checkout.




Jackrabbit Fitness Shirts and Running Shorts SaleSave 50%
Fitness shirts and running shorts are up to 50 percent off at Jackrabbit today, meaning all shirts are $30 and shorts are $35. You’ll recognize big name brands like Nike, Adidas, Brooks, Rhone and more. But hurry, the deal only lasts until the end of the day today, so stock up while you can.

You’ll find award-winners from our Best Gym Shorts of 2018 like Rhone’s Bullitt Shorts and Adidas Supernova shorts, as well as one of the top running shirts, New Balance’s Q Speed Short Sleeve. It’s hard to find deals this big on brand-name gym shorts and shirts, so we recommend you move quickly. — Meg Lappe



Gucci Tinted Aviators
Save 62%:Many sunglasses available today tout loads of features: polarized lenses, titanium frames, photochromic tints, hydrophobic and oleophobic coatings. While all these are certainly valuable, sometimes it’s nice to have a pair of sunglasses that just look good. For example, Gucci makes a simple tinted aviator designed for everyday wear.

While it doesn’t have loads of performance features, the classic metal-frame silhouette comes with various tinted lenses that will compliment a variety of aesthetics. And now at Nordstrom Rack, these Italian-made shades are 62 percent off and cost just $150. So if you’re in the market for a great pair of stylish sunglasses, check these out before they’re gone. — John Zientek



Butter Pat Industries 12-Inch Cast-Iron Skillet
Save $45 Butter Pat Industries makes skillets you could rightly call modern heirlooms. The cooking surfaces are buttery smooth, they come without machining marks and weigh less than skillets of the same size from other companies. The rounded pour spouts are probably the most effective of any skillet we’ve tested.

Today, the company’s 12-inch skillet is marked down a modest $45. Butter Pat pans don’t go on sale often, so jump now if you want a skillet that can be in your family forever.
Will Price



Nikwax Hiking Boot Care Bundle
Save 25%: It’s nearly that time of year when your ski boots will trade places in the depths of your closet with the leather hiking boots that you laid down there months ago. After so long a time, those boots might be neglected; maybe they’re a bit dry, perhaps they’re still caked in some late autumn mud. This light mistreatment can have consequences over time — the leather might become stiff, cracked or unwearable — but is easily remedied with Nikwax boot treatment solutions, a twin-pack of which is all of $12 right now at Backcountry.

Caring for leather hiking boots is remarkably easy. All you need to do is wash them, condition the leather and bolster its waterproof coating (read our in-depth guide on how to do this here). This bundle includes Nikwax’s Footwear Cleaning Gel, which you should use to take care of that first step, as well as its Fabric and Leather Proof solution, which will revitalize water repellency not just in leather boots but those made of canvas or synthetic materials also. — Tanner Bowden



Coway Mighty Air Purifier
Save $50 On the cusp of allergy season, a timely deal: the Coway Mighty air purifier is marked down $50 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

Today’s Best Deals: Big Savings On the Apple Watch Series 3, Discounted Bose Speakers & 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.



Urnex Descaling Coffee Machine Cleaner
Save 33%: Professional baristas and cafés think of only one name when it comes to coffee machine cleaning: Urnex.

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

Today, a four-pack of those cleaners is all of $6 — down a few bucks from its usual $9. If you don’t think you need to clean your coffee machine all that often, you’re lying to yourself. Read more here. —Will Price



Apple Watch Series 3 Sale
Save 21%:
If you’ve been debating picking up an Apple watch, now’s a great time to shop the previous model for 21 percent off. The Apple Watch Series 3 with GPS and Cellular is down from $379 to $299. There are rarely sales on Apple products like this. A 38-mm face is a natural entry point size-wise for a smartwatch, or you can size up to the 42-mm for $329. If you’re already in the Apple universe (with an iPhone and laptop or iPad), getting used to the interface is a breeze. Apple launched the Series 4 in the fall of 2018, but the Series 3 has many of the same great features and is still the smartwatch to buy.

Whether you’re looking for a GPS running watch or something that tracks your steps, calories and exercise minutes, the Apple Watch Series 3 is for you. I’ve had an Apple watch since 2015 and am a bit obsessed. Putting my watch on is the first thing I do every morning, and I enjoy that the watch nudges me (buzzes on my wrist) every hour to stand up, encourages me to get moving at night if I neglected to work out in the morning and logs every step of my commute in addition to tracking my meditation minutes. Yes, you do have to charge it every night, so sleep tracking is not possible, but as a runner I appreciate that I can check my miles at the end of every day. — Meg Lappe



Au Sabot L’Amor Pocket Knife
Save 25%: There’s a reason why knife blades come in various shapes, with intended use primary among them. 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 L’Armor 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 25 percent off.— Tanner Bowden

Bose SoundLink Revolve & Revolve+
Save Up to $60: The SoundLink Revolve speaker, marked down to $160 today, boasts 12 hours of continuous playback with a 30-foot Bluetooth range. Thanks to the 360-degree speaker construction, it’s better for creating an immersive listening experience than a standard speaker, offering room-filling sound from something that’s barely bigger than your favorite travel mug. It also links with your phone to access Google Now or Siri.

For a slight upgrade, check out the SoundLink Revolve+, which is currently $60 cheaper than its regular price. In addition to a longer battery life (16 hours rather than 12), it’s a slightly larger and more powerful version of the regular SoundLink Revolve. For bigger rooms, bigger parties and bigger sound, the Revolve+ makes a great go-to. — Andy Frakes

Calvin Klein 205W38NYC Denim Shirts by Raf Simons
Save 50%: In August 2016, legendary Belgian designer Raf Simons was appointed as Chief Creative Officer of Calvin Klein. Simons oversaw creative strategy over all aspects of design, marketing and communications for the brand and infused his distinct design language into the brand’s luxury 205W39NYC collection. His first collection with the brand debuted for the Fall2017 season, but by December 2018, Simons and Calvin Klein parted ways (nine months before his contract would have expired).

Simons-designed menswear pieces are already very collectible on the secondhand market. Garments from his eponymous brand and tenure at Dior sell for premium prices on sites like Grailed. So if you’re looking to invest in something from Simons’s time at Calvin Klein, now would be a good time.

Case in point: today at Nordstrom, you can save 50 percent on two denim shirts from the Raf Simons-designed Calvin Klein 205W39NYC collection. Simons short tenure at the brand makes these wardrobe staples instant collector’s items. They’re still expensive, but they’ll hold their value over time — hard to say that about many other pieces of clothing. — John Zientek

Today’s Best Deals: Discounted All-Clad Cookware, 41% Off an Adventure-Ready Suunto Smartwatch & 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.



Converse Jack Purcell Sneakers
Save 20%:Canadian badminton ace Jack Purcell designed his eponymous canvas sneaker back in the 1930s. Over the past eight decades, the style has gone essentially unchanged. It features a lightweight canvas upper, a rubber outsole with a signature ‘smile’ across the toe and medial eyelets for breathability. In the crispy white colorway, it’s an essential spring sneaker: breathable, lightweight, casual. Normally $65, the style is 20 percent off at East Dane and now costs just $52. A range of sizes are still available but act fast because they’re selling quickly.
— John Zientek


Glerups Sale
The conception you have about slippers — that they’re fluffy, indoors-only shoes — it’s wrong. Not entirely, (most slippers likely fit that description), but some examples refute it, elevating the slipper to something that’s not only cozy but practical too.

Glerups is perhaps the best example. They’re made in Denmark with a mix of soft white wool from New Zealand and Gotland wool that’s felted, so it has a hardier texture that’s plush without looking like it. They’re warm too, and the family that came up with them was thoughtful enough to make a version with a rubber sole that can handle grass, dirt and snow should you want to wear them beyond the limits of the front door (my pair has become my après ski shoe of choice).

Rubber-soled Glerups slippers are currently on sale at Huckberry in various colors and in shoe and ankle boot heights.
— Tanner Bowden



All-Clad Stainless Steel Cookware
Save Up to 70% All-Clad’s covetable cookware has been the option for high-end stainless steel since the brand literally invented bonded cookware in 1971. The only knock against them? That price tag.

Today, however, is a mammoth exception — the All-Clad factory seconds sale is live.

If there were ever a time to invest in a few pieces of peerless cookware, this is it — these are the lowest prices you’ll find on unused All-Clad outside of visiting the company’s in-person seconds sale at the factory. Congratulations on your new pans. —Will Price



Orient Ray II Automatic Watch
Save 60%: Japanese brand Orient offers some of the best value in mechanical watches, of which the Ray II Automatic is a perfect example. Legible, water-resistant to 200m, topped with a mineral crystal, and packing an automatic movement with 40 hours of power reserve, this is a handsome and highly wearable diver with a 41.5mm case. — Zen Love


Mystery Ranch Urban Assault Backpack
Save 28%: In 1985 the founder of Mystery Ranch, Dana Gleason, invented a revolutionary internal frame design called ArcFlex that permanently changed how pack makers think about load bearing. But Gleason and co-founder Renee Sippel-Baker hit their stride when Navy SEALs approached them in search of custom packs. Now they craft bags for the military, backcountry firefighters and the US Forest Service, but they haven’t forgotten the everyday outdoorsman.

The Urban Assault pack, which is currently 28 percent off at Massdrop in lots of colors, utilizes the same technical design features that make Mystery Ranch bags suitable for the most rigorous users but it includes features that make it ideal for the urban inhabitant. It’s made with 500-denier Cordura nylon and has a unique three-zipper opening system, two internal accessory pockets, a laptop sleeve and a quick-access lid pouch. It also employs a fixed-harness frame system, which allows the commuter-friendly pack to perform like a high-end expedition backpack. — Tanner Bowden



Suunto Core Military Smartwatch
Save 41%:

I do not have any plans to go on a backpacking or camping trip anytime soon, but if I did, I think I’d spring for this Suunto Core watch. And that’s not just because it is marked down by 41% (although that helps).

Other than just looking cool with its all-black case, strap and face, the watch features a handful of genuinely useful features. An altimeter tracks how many feet you climb on any given hike while a compass helps guide you along your path. Just useful as those features are the barometer, weather trend graph and storm alarm system. The trio works together to read the atmosphere, predict changing conditions and let you know in advance if things are going to get hairy. Oh yeah, and it tells time. These are all things I would’ve liked to have had on my last camping trip.

— J.D. DiGiovanni



Marshall Acton Wireless Speaker
Save Over 50% With its classic Marshall styling and analog output controls, the Acton wireless speaker looks just like what you’d plug into for your best Angus Young impersonation. But unlike the massive multi-tier audio systems Marshall made its name with, this home speaker makes the most of smaller spaces and modern wireless tech.

This small-but-powerful unit boasts up to 50 watts of audio output, plus classic analog-style controls for bass, treble and volume, and it manages to pack some serious sound into a package that’s less than 11 inches wide. For a portable tabletop speaker it offers an awful lot, with Bluetooth connectivity to boot — and best of all, it’s hugely discounted on eBay right now. — Andy Frakes

It’s available in three size options and fits a variety of refills.

Get 25 percent off Inventery’s Bolt Action Pen with the code GP25.




Timex x Todd Snyder 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! — Oren Hartov


Tanner Goods Record Rack
Save 40% This vinyl rack, made of powder-coated stainless steel wire and shaped into a simple, straightforward design, can showcase all the records that you’ve let languish in a crate under your bed. It’s a must-have accessory for your at-home vinyl setup or even the perfect gift for your favorite hi-fi lover. Best yet: it’s 40 percent off at Huckberry. — Andy Frakes


Drake’s Knit Hats
Save 35%:While the worst winter storms may be over for some part of North America, that doesn’t mean cool weather is a thing of the past. If you’re looking for a nice hat to weather out the last weeks of winter, head over to Todd Snyder today. You can save 35 percent on some timeless knit hats from Drake’s. The British accessories brand offers the Scottish-made style in three colors — olive, turquoise and yellow — for just $49. And while you may not get the most wear out of it this season, this hat is never going out of style and you’ll be able to wear it in years to come. — John Zientek


Lodge 12-Inch Cast-Iron Skillet
Save $15 Good news: today, the 12-inch skillet is marked down somewhere other than Amazon — get it for just $15 at Sierra Trading Post.
Its 10 inches of cooking space (the 12-inch designation refers to a wall-to-wall measurement, which includes the slope of the walls) is the ideal size for most people’s stovetop burners — any bigger and heat distribution issues will be 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. 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


Couples Sleeping Bags Are a Thing and These 3 Are on Sale
Save up to $120: Sleeping bags are solitary by design, but not these ones, all of which are on sale for up to 36 percent off. — Tanner Bowden

Today’s Best Deals: Up to 40% Off Patagonia Essentials, Discounted Mid-Century Furniture & 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.



Timex X Todd Snyder Blackjack Watch
Save 30%: 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. 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


Taylor Stitch Winslow Parka
Save 35%:Halley Stevensons knows a thing or two about waxed canvas fabric. The UK-based brand has been manufacturing textiles since 1864 and was awarded a patent in 1910 for “cleaning and water-proofing textiles.” Along with holding the domain name waxedcotton.com, it continues to produce some of the best breathable weather-resistant fabrics on the market. So when San Francisco clothing brand Taylor Stitch decided to make a waxed canvas jacket, it’s no surprise they went to Halley Stevensons for the fabric.

Made in the UK, this jacket normally costs $298, but is available for $199 on sale while supplies. Considering the versatile design and quality materials, that’s a steal for jacket that will stand up to whatever spring weather comes your way. — John Zientek



A Pair of Entry-Level Gas Grills
Save Up To $179 It is mid-March and, for many of us, the temperature has officially risen to levels that don’t induce pain upon exiting a building. What does this mean? Fewer parkas, fewer gloves and more grills.

Today, a pair of trusty, entry-level gas grills are on sale — Weber’s Spirit II grill and the more affordable Char-Broil four-burner. The former comes with raves from websites with names like Amazing Ribs and Smoked BBQ Source, citing its heavy construction, enameled cast-iron grates and a whopping 10-year warranty. The Char-Broil grill also sports enameled iron grates, is slightly bigger and significantly more affordable. —Will Price

Patagonia Jackets and Bag Sale
Save 40%Three Patagonia items that’ll make your life infinitely easier on hiking trips are up to 40 percent off right now. While the idea of winter camping is sometimes too involved for us, thanks to the Daylight Savings time change, the possibility of spring camping is seemingly right around the corner.Stock up with the lightweight Synchilla Snap-T fleece pullovers, a Patagonia Nano-Air Jacket and a Black Hole Pack — all of which are on sale today.

You’ll have to cull through sizes and colors, but the soft layers and pack streamline any packing you have to do for upcoming mountain (or lake) adventures. In addition to keeping you warm, both jackets double as pillows and seamlessly fit in the 26-liter ripstop backpack. While these three items are some of our favorites for hiking and camping, there are a handful of other Patagonia items on sale at Huckberry, Backcountry and Patagonia today, too. — Meg Lappe

Bowers & Wilkins PX Headphones
Save $75 The Bowers & Wilkins PX headphones are excellent and offer a more expansive sound than just about anything else on the market. They also score points for form — nothing against Bose or Sony but the PX headphones are simply stunning.

When it comes to performance, the PXs offer some attractive perks like EQ tweaking on the companion app. The 22-hour battery life and top-notch active noise cancellation don’t hurt, either. The real selling point, however, is that they’ve never been cheaper — right now, they’re listed at Amazon for $25 cheaper than they were on Cyber Monday. — Andy Frakes



DWR Semi-Annual Sale
Save 15% Design Within Reach is as much a furniture design retailer as it is a museum of furniture design. The company deals only in licensed, original works from some of the world’s foremost craftspeople — George Nelson, Hans Wegner, Richard Neutra, Milo Baughman and more. During DWR’s Semi-Annual Sale, works from all of these names (and a lot more) are discounted a modest 15 percent.
Choice pickups include Wegner’s famous Wishbone chair, the Nelson Ball Clock and a load of gear from Hay. The sale runs until the end of March. —Will Price


Salomon Sense Ride Trail Running Shoe
Save 30%: When I first laced my feet into Salomon’s Sense Ride trail running shoe, it was in the French Alps, the day before I was to run roughly 10 miles along the ridge opposite Mont Blanc, the tallest mountain in the range. Despite never having run that far in my life at the time, the day was a success, and while that might’ve been due to the postcard or the pre-run cheese and pastries, it was undoubtedly due to the shoes.

Right now, the Sense Ride is also 30 percent off at Backcountry, with a price that’s down from $120 to $84. If you aren’t looking for a discount though, Salomon recently revealed the Sense Ride 2, which builds on its predecessor with a more flexible and comfortable upper. — Tanner Bowden

Today’s Best Deals: 59% Off a Seiko 5 Watch, Half Off the Popular Adidas Adizero 3 Trainers & 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.



Seiko 5 SNK795
Save 59%: Seiko 5s are mechanical, they’re affordable, they’re plentiful, they’re (often) colorful and they’re fun. Oh, and they’re inexpensive. Did we mention that they’re inexpensive? The SNK795 encompasses most of these traits: it’s got a 37mm stainless steel case with matching steel bracelet and exhibition case back; an automatic movement with day-date display; a matte black dial with silver baton hands and matching indices, and best of all, it’s only $79, a nearly 60% savings off the list price of $195. — Oren Hartov


Faherty Overshirts
Save 50%:When planning a wardrobe around shoulder-season weather, focusing on layering. And, on days where a light jacket is too heavy, reach for an overshirt instead. It’ll keep you warm through brisk mornings and chilly evenings, but won’t be too much during a sunny afternoon.

If you’re in need of a new overshirt, NYC-based Faherty makes a few great options, each utilizing a unique custom-designed fabric. Now at Huckberry, you can save 50 percent on a number of these styles. Available in sizes S to XL, they’ll be the perfect light layer for spring weather and, what’s more, they all cost under $100. — John Zientek



Philips Sonicare Electric Toothbrush
Save $100 Last year, I bought a toothbrush for $100. It was the best $100 I spent all year.

The Philips Sonicare Diamond Clean is a weighty, loud brush that uses vibration and water movement to shake plaque and other gross substances off your teeth and gums. The electric brush operates in five modes which act as different power levels — clean, white, sensitive, gum care and deep clean — and charges via conduction in a small glass cup that comes with it.

Today on Amazon, the $200 Diamond Clean is $100 — matching its lowest ever from Prime Day last summer. It’s worth every penny. —Will Price



Anova Culinary Precision Cooker
Save $30 The sous vide tool is not deserving of its present condition. Confined for most of its life to high-end restaraunts, the sous vide circulator is sometimes labeled as a tool with too few uses to justify the price. This isn’t really true.
For one, great, easy-to-use sous vide circulators exist — just look at Anova Culinary’s sous vide tool tool, a circulator with a robust and intuitive cooking app. But there’s also the matter of what the everyday, utility-first home cook can get out of it. Here are three ways to use them every day. —Will Price


Adidas Adizero 3 Sale
Save 50%In five short weeks, over 30,000 runners will gather in Hopkinton, Massachusetts to run 26.2 miles into the heart of Boston, and many of them will be wearing the Adidas Adizero 3. Today, it’s on sale for up to 50 percent off. The neutral runner has Adidas’s popular Boost technology in the midsole to help lower the road impact and keep your energy levels high for all those miles. It’s a lightweight sneaker built for fast race days — and all the runs that lead up to that.

Typically, the Adizero Adios 3 shoes are $140, but the all-black version is 50 percent off and down to $70. There are very limited sizes, but the white version is also 25 percent off and down to $105.
— Meg Lappe



Vizio P-Series 65” 4K UHD TV with HDR
Save $200 Since a lot of tech brands have recently launched their latest and greatest models in time for CES, great TVs from the last year or two are being discounted. And because 2017 and 2018 models still have so much to offer, that’s a very good thing for anyone currently looking to buy. In this case it means you can take $200 off one of the best models in Vizio’s well-reviewed line of TVs.

Even better, all Vizio SmartCast TVs are primed to receive software updates later in 2019, updates that will include support for AirPlay 2 and HomeKit. That’s a big deal. Vizio won’t be offering native iTunes support, meaning Apple fiends can’t play iTunes movies or music without bringing Apple TV into the mix, but just about anywhere you look, native iTunes support is going to cost you extra. If you don’t need it, you don’t need it. — Andy Frakes



Spyderco Efficient Pocket Knife
Save 35%: Spyderco knives are easily recognized, even for EDC initiates. It’s that circular hole in the blade that takes the place of a thumb stud or nail nick — a solution that the company’s founder, Sal Glesser, created while searching for a new one-handed opening method back in the early 1980s. It’s been modified and imitated by plenty of other makers because it’s simple, and it works. Every Spyderco blade features the cutout, including the new all-black version of the Efficient, which you can already purchase with a 35 percent discount at Massdrop.

Spyderco built the Efficient to be an everyday pocket knife. Its drop-point blade is just shy of three inches long and is available with a plain or partially serrated edge. The handle scales are textured G10 fiberglass, and the mechanism locks open with a stainless steel liner lock. None of these features are brand new — they were present in the original release of the Efficient — but now they’re all finished with a matte black oxide coating, which gives the knife a look that’s both sleek and modern. — Tanner Bowden

The Best Deals of the Week: March 4-8, 2019

Welcome to Deals of the Week, where Gear Patrol captures all the best deals that are still going strong. 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.

MONDAY, March 4



Blackyak Modicana Jacket
Save $114: When we first saw Blackyak’s Modicana jacket, we were impressed. The coat is part of the South Korea-based apparel brand’s Midshell collection, which combines properties from mid-layers with those of outer layers to produce versatile pieces that can be worn as either. Blackyak exhibits this idea in the Modicana with a soft, stretchy shell that’s also waterproof yet impressively breathable. The interior is lined with merino wool for warmth and wicking; the cuffs, hem and hood include a form-fitting sticky elastic that promotes movement.

All of these details — it’s clear just by looking at it how much the designers thought about its construction — make the Modicana the type of jacket that can be worn as functionally with other pieces as it can go it alone. Right now, as part of Backcountry’s winter clearance sale, it’s 30 percent off, which amounts to a savings of over $100. The great thing is that while the Modicana is an excellent jacket for winter, it isn’t strictly a winter jacket. — Tanner Bowden




Target Threshold Percale Sheets
Save Up to 25% When you think of buying cheap, you think of tradeoffs — what am I willing to put up with in the name of saving some cash? Target’s Threshold-branded percale sheets are very cheap and make you forget tradeoffs altogether.

Marked down up to 25 percent, these sets don’t show the obvious tells of other cheap sheets — poor stitching, chemical smells, lack of crispness and so on. They’re airy and crisp out of the box. They also don’t flub thread count numbers like many other options in this category, a problem that’s stemmed from the belief that larger thread count numbers equal more comfort. “The [thread count] numbers are often lies to begin with. A higher thread count doesn’t equate to better quality. Stay within the 200- to 300-range and you’ll be good,” co-founder of Authenticity 50, Jimmy McDonald said.

At a solid 300 thread count, they’re also easily the best cheap sheets we’ve ever tested. Search your mattress size and pick from a variety of colors and patterns — they’re all on sale. —Will Price



Japanese Jackets
Save up to 50%:Founded in 2006, denim-retailer Self Edge is revered by style aficionados. The store’s mix of premium Japanese brands is second-to-none, a unique curation of world-class garments and accessories that are unusually hard to come by. That said, these aspirational products are priced accordingly.

But, for those looking to save a few bucks, Self Edge’s Warehouse Sale currently has a range of detail-oriented Japanese jackets for up to 50 percent off. Pick from brands like Strike Gold, Stevenson Overall Co., Iron Heart and more, but don’t wait — stock is limited. — John Zientek



Dyson V7 & V8 Vacuums
Save Up To $150: Today at Amazon, you can find two great Dyson vacuums for some of the lowest prices we’ve seen — and they’re not refurbished, they’re brand-spanking-new.

The smaller of the pair, the V7, boasts a max suction power of 100 air watts (Dyson claims it’s the strongest of any handheld vacs) and can run for up to 30 minutes on a single charge. The V7 also comes with a special motorized head attachment for pet hair and loose debris, and the suction hose attachment will help you reach narrow spaces.

As for the larger vacuum, the V8 Absolute Cordless, you’re getting a more powerful (115 air watts) and longer-running (40 minutes) cordless machine. This model was made to deep-clean carpets and with the included motorized cleaning head, you get eight straight minutes of serious carpet-cleaning action. Yes, there are plenty of great corded vacuums out there, and yes, many of them cost less than the V8. But Dyson has a hardcore following, and this machine is part of the reason why. — Andy Frakes

TUESDAY, March 5



TRX Sale
Save $95: When arranged thoughtfully and outfitted appropriately, a home gym can be an entirely capable alternative to a pricey gym membership. It doesn’t have to call for heavy and bulky (not to mention expensive) equipment, either. TRX’s original suspension trainer was created with this type of functional minimalism in mind — it was invented by a Navy SEAL squadron commander named Randy Hetrick who was searching for a way to stay fit during deployment.

Like an as-seen-on-TV contraption, it can be adapted to various workouts and targeted exercises. Unlike that hulking machine, it can be bought in fewer than 12 installments, especially now that it’s $95 off. — Tanner Bowden



Bulova Lunar Chronograph Moon Watch
Save 54%: While the Omega Speedmaster is considered the preeminent moon watch, there have been many timepieces that have ventured into space, including a Bulova chronograph worn by Commander David Scott on the Apollo 15 mission in 1971. The reissue retails relatively cheap, at $675 on the bracelet, but right now, Amazon is offering the watch with a 54 percent markdown, making this already-affordable tribute to space exploration even more accessible. — Zen Love


WEDNESDAY, March 6



Orient Mako XL Dive Watch
Save $190: Japanese brands continuously offer great value for money with respect to watches. Take the Orient Mako XL Automatic dive watch as a case in point: you get an in-house, 21-jewel automatic movement with 40 hours of power reserve, a stainless steel 44.5mm case, a mineral crystal, steel bracelet, day-date display, unidirectional rotating bezel, 200m of water resistance, and the choice of 4 dial colors: black with black bezel, black with green bezel, vaguely-yellowish-greenish-mintish with black bezel and black with orange bezel. And all this for $130 right now on Massdrop.— Oren Hartov


Breville Barista Express Espresso Machine
Save $120: Making a decent espresso at home requires a lot. You need a scale to weigh out a proper shot, you need a burr grinder to ensure you’re using fresh grounds and you need an espresso maker to pull everything together. The alternative is getting an espresso maker with all that built-in, and then some. That’s what Breville’s Barista Express is.

Among Breville’s line of espresso makers, the Barista Express stands out — it’s got all the additive performance features its higher-priced sibling have, but it’s the only all-in-one maker that’s not $1,000 or more. It’s got a built-in grinder and dose control, plus it’s operable in automatic and manual modes. The machine also features a really, really impressive milk wand and comes with all the ancillary parts needed to make it all go (tamper, milk jug, razor trim and so on).

Today on Ebay, Breville’s Barista Express is available for $120 off its retail price. —Will Price



New Balance 990v4 Sneakers
Save 20%: As the weather in North America transitions from winter snowstorms to balmy spring days, consider investing in a new pair of sneaker for the warmer months. If you’re looking for a domestic option that won’t break the bank, head over to Need Supply Co. today. The retailer is currently offering 20 percent off the American-made New Balance 990v4.

Available in two tonal colorways, the style features a pigskin nubuck upper, an Encap midsole and a rubber outsole. Either is a solid option for any casual wardrobe, so if you’ve been prepping for sunny days, don’t sleep on these. — John Zientek



Ski Goggles Sale
Save up to 65%: If you only ski a few times a year, now’s the best time to buy a pair of goggles. Right now, there are steep discounts on a variety of styles at Backcountry that are ideal for any type of snow day. Like a quality pair of sunglasses, ski goggles present an opportunity to make a style statement up on the mountain. They allow skiers and snowboarders to see the minute details of the slope — even during a blizzard — and protect the eyes from dangerous UV rays as they bounce off the reflective white snow surface.

Unfortunately, decent goggles are often overlooked as unnecessary or simply too expensive (and no, the $40 pair at the ski shop won’t cut it). Renting them is out of the question, but if you hit the slopes a handful of times each year, the discounts on these five high-quality pairs from Backcountry make each pair worth it.
— Tanner Bowden



Yamazaki Organization Gear
Save 15%: Japan’s lesser-known Yamazaki is far less expensive and far more, well, useful than the world-famous whisky. In operation for more than 100 years, Yamazaki beat Marie Kondo to the tidying up punch by a century. The company’s housewares are all unobtrusive, sturdy, simple and bent toward organizing your place. They’re also incredibly affordable.

Its nifty rolling storage cart ($85) is slim and made of steel and real wood — not particle board and plastic screws. Its all-steel wall hanger ($69) is heavy enough to stay put when you hang a dozen coats over it. They even made a trashcan ($43) that does its job and doesn’t look goofy.

These pieces and more of Yamazaki’s thrifty organization gear is marked down 15 percent off on Huckberry today. —Will Price



Sonos Connect:Amp
Save $100+: Last fall, Sonos introduced its new Amp, which is an all-around better version of the Connect:Amp. The new Amp is twice as powerful and has an HDMI ARC port, so you can also hook it directly to your TV and play your TV’s audio throughout your house. The new Sonos Amp just went on sale in early 2019. Sonos still sells the Connect:Amp for $499, and for anybody who doesn’t need to power really expensive speakers or hook up their speakers to their TV (the Amp essentially works as an AV receiver), it’s probably still the better option; it’s most definitely cheaper. Amazon was selling the Connect:Amp for the lowest its ever been – $384 – but it appears that that deal is dead. You can still find discounted Connect:Amp models on eBay and B&H for around $370, although they are refurbished. |

Nike 20% Off Sale
Save 20%: Three of Nike’s best-selling running shoes of 2018 are currently on sale for an even deeper discount. Enter code SAVE20 at checkout to get an additional 20 percent off all sale styles, meaning there are a ton of gym and running shoes available, all under $100. We picked out a few of our favorites below — all of which we heavily tested last year, as well as awarded in our Best New Running Shoes of 2018 and GP100. If you’re training for any spring or summer races, now is a good time to stock up on shoes that you can rotate through (one for long, easy and speed runs) so your shoes stay fresher for longer — your legs and feet will thank you. — Meg Lappe


LG UK6300
Save $200+: The LG UK6300 is an entry-level 4K TV that was released in 2018, and it’s a solid option for anybody looking to make the upgrade from their old HDTV. It supports HDR10 and can be set up to work with Google Assistant or Alexa. Also, it’s pretty affordable right now. LG just dropped the price of the UK6300 by several hundred dollars; on its website, LG is selling 55-inch models for $499, which is $200 off the original MSRP. You can pick up the same TV for a little bit less on either eBay or Amazon, too. |


THURSDAY, March 7



Weight Rack and Weights Sale
Save $300: Right now, Weider weight rack and five sets of dumbbells are $300 off. While weight racks and dumbbells are typically pricey, having more than one pair is imperative for your home gym. If you’re looking to hit your goals this year, this deal is too good to pass up. For $300 you get a set of 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30, plus a rack, so that you can tuck the five sets in a corner out of the way. It’s an easy (and cost-effective) way to upgrade your home gym.

A good weight rack can last through a lifetime of burpees, overhead presses, squats, lunges and rows. These weights are ergonomic with hexagonal ends so that easily do push-ups on them, without them sliding out from under you. Plus, when you drop them, they won’t roll away from you. Each set is made with chrome and rubber, so they’ll survive a powerlifting session or a quickie post-HIIT workout — sweat won’t cause them to slip out of your hands. — Meg Lappe



Seiko 5 “Baby Monster” Watch
Save Over 50%: Right now, you can nab a Seiko 5 SRP48X “Baby Monster” for just $140, which is over half-off an MSRP of $320. The Baby Monster, which is available in both white and orange dials, features now-iconic thick lumed indices and hands, a stainless steel 43mm case with 100m of water resistance, a mineral crystal, a notched unidirectional dive bezel and Seiko’s 4R36 automatic movement with day-date complication, which is viewable via an exhibition case back. — Oren Hartov


Naglev Unico Hiker
Save 25%: 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).

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



Red Wing Round Toe Suede boot
Save 46%: It’s no surprise that Red Wing boots are an American classic. Since 1872, the brand has made no-nonsense footwear, designed to stand up to years of hard use. The Minnesota-based maker utilizes leather from the S.B. Foot Tanning Company, also located in the city of Red Wing, and produces nearly 1 million pairs of boots every year from its large mid-century factory.

If you’ve been waiting for a sale to purchase your own pair of Red Wing boots, head over to Nordstrom Rack. Currently, you can save 46 percent on a pair of rugged suede lace-up boots. This classic American-made round toe style now costs just $150 and comes in sizes 7 to 13. But with a deal this good, sizes are bound to sell quickly, so act fast. — John Zientek


FRIDAY, March 8



Lucchese Jonah Boots
Save 37%:Founded in San Antonio in 1883, Lucchese offers some of the best Western boots of the market. Along with its more traditional styles, it offers some modern silhouettes that are appropriate for a range of settings. For example, its Jonah boot blends the heel and toe of a traditional roper with a narrow side-zip shaft. The Lucchese site says it’s equestrian-inspired, but apart from the zipper and slim profile, the style doesn’t scream horseman. It’s a slim boot that pairs well with modern pants, a style both versatile and rooted in tradition. 

Handmade in Texas, the boot features a black suede upper, a 7-inch shaft with a Riri zipper and a leather outsole. If you’re looking to pick up a pair, head over to Zappos where the style is currently 37 percent off. Though pricey at $500, it’s a versatile, well-made boot that will serve you for years to come. — John Zientek



Nemo Losi 3-Person Tent
Save $195: Tentmakers employ their most advanced manufacturing processes and innovative materials to make shelters as packable and lightweight as possible. Backpackers are the primary demographic in mind here, but more casual adventurers — the type who head out for one or two nights rather than seven, or regularly make camp next to their car — form a more substantial proportion of those enjoying wilderness. Nemo’s Losi tent is for these folks, and right now it’s 40 percent off (a savings of $195) at Mountain Steals.

The Losi isn’t like the big-enough-to-stand-up-in tents you can find at Walmart, but neither is it an ounce-counting ultralight trekker’s dream shelter. Instead, it’s somewhere in the middle; small and light enough to carry in a backpack when weight isn’t paramount yet roomy enough — thanks to a unique pole configuration — to enjoy hanging out in. It’s perfect for casual campers and those who want to balance their experiences at camp and on the trail, and nearly $200 in savings isn’t a discount to ignore. — Tanner Bowden



Sony SRS-XB41 Portable Bluetooth Speaker
$170: The SRS-XB41 is the largest Bluetooth speaker in Sony’s Extra Bass line, comparable in size and sound quality to the Bose SoundLink Revolve Plus ($239) or an Ultimate Ears Boom 3 ($150). It normally sells for $250 — which is what Best Buy is selling it for right now – but you can currently buy a SRS-XB41 on eBay for just $80. Granted, the models that eBay is selling are manufacturer refurbished, but this still feels like a pretty phenomenal deal.

Save 32%: If you’re looking for an updated version of a classic American military watch with more modern case proportions, you should definitely check out the Hack watch from Bulova, currently available on Macy’s for 32% off ($186, down from $275). The Hack watch uses a three-hand quartz movement housed in a 38mm steel case, comes with a black leather strap and is water-resistant down to 30 meters. It also comes with a 3-year limited warranty. — Oren Hartov


Bose Home Theater Systems
Save Up to $150: Bose released two new soundbars, Soundbar 500 and the Soundbar 700, at the tail end of 2018. You can buy the Bose Soundbar 500 for $550 or the Bose Soundbar 700 for $800. But if you want to build a home theater system around either of these soundbars, say you want to add a bass module and/or surround speakers, you can – and you can get a pretty good deal while doing so. World Wide Stereo is selling Bose’s home theater systems for up to $150 off.

Weight Rack and Weights Sale

Today’s Best Deals: Save $100+ on an Espresso Machine, Organization Gear & 20% Off On Nike Sneakers

Orient Mako XL Dive Watch
Save $190: Japanese brands continuously offer great value for money with respect to watches. Take the Orient Mako XL Automatic dive watch as a case in point: you get an in-house, 21-jewel automatic movement with 40 hours of power reserve, a stainless steel 44.5mm case, a mineral crystal, steel bracelet, day-date display, unidirectional rotating bezel, 200m of water resistance, and the choice of 4 dial colors: black with black bezel, black with green bezel, vaguely-yellowish-greenish-mintish with black bezel and black with orange bezel. And all this for $130 right now on Massdrop.— Oren Hartov


Breville Barista Express Espresso Machine
Save $120: Making a decent espresso at home requires a lot. You need a scale to weigh out a proper shot, you need a burr grinder to ensure you’re using fresh grounds and you need an espresso maker to pull everything together. The alternative is getting an espresso maker with all that built-in, and then some. That’s what Breville’s Barista Express is.

Among Breville’s line of espresso makers, the Barista Express stands out — it’s got all the additive performance features its higher-priced sibling have, but it’s the only all-in-one maker that’s not $1,000 or more. It’s got a built-in grinder and dose control, plus it’s operable in automatic and manual modes. The machine also features a really, really impressive milk wand and comes with all the ancillary parts needed to make it all go (tamper, milk jug, razor trim and so on).

Today on Ebay, Breville’s Barista Express is available for $120 off its retail price. —Will Price



New Balance 990v4 Sneakers
Save 20%: As the weather in North America transitions from winter snowstorms to balmy spring days, consider investing in a new pair of sneaker for the warmer months. If you’re looking for a domestic option that won’t break the bank, head over to Need Supply Co. today. The retailer is currently offering 20 percent off the American-made New Balance 990v4.

Available in two tonal colorways, the style features a pigskin nubuck upper, an Encap midsole and a rubber outsole. Either is a solid option for any casual wardrobe, so if you’ve been prepping for sunny days, don’t sleep on these. — John Zientek



Ski Goggles Sale
Save up to 65%: If you only ski a few times a year, now’s the best time to buy a pair of goggles. Right now, there are steep discounts on a variety of styles at Backcountry that are ideal for any type of snow day. Like a quality pair of sunglasses, ski goggles present an opportunity to make a style statement up on the mountain. They allow skiers and snowboarders to see the minute details of the slope — even during a blizzard — and protect the eyes from dangerous UV rays as they bounce off the reflective white snow surface.

Unfortunately, decent goggles are often overlooked as unnecessary or simply too expensive (and no, the $40 pair at the ski shop won’t cut it). Renting them is out of the question, but if you hit the slopes a handful of times each year, the discounts on these five high-quality pairs from Backcountry make each pair worth it.
— Tanner Bowden



Yamazaki Organization Gear
Save 15%: Japan’s lesser-known Yamazaki is far less expensive and far more, well, useful than the world-famous whisky. In operation for more than 100 years, Yamazaki beat Marie Kondo to the tidying up punch by a century. The company’s housewares are all unobtrusive, sturdy, simple and bent toward organizing your place. They’re also incredibly affordable.

Its nifty rolling storage cart ($85) is slim and made of steel and real wood — not particle board and plastic screws. Its all-steel wall hanger ($69) is heavy enough to stay put when you hang a dozen coats over it. They even made a trashcan ($43) that does its job and doesn’t look goofy.

These pieces and more of Yamazaki’s thrifty organization gear is marked down 15 percent off on Huckberry today. —Will Price



Sonos Connect:Amp
Save $100+: Last fall, Sonos introduced its new Amp, which is an all-around better version of the Connect:Amp. The new Amp is twice as powerful and has an HDMI ARC port, so you can also hook it directly to your TV and play your TV’s audio throughout your house. The new Sonos Amp just went on sale in early 2019. Sonos still sells the Connect:Amp for $499, and for anybody who doesn’t need to power really expensive speakers or hook up their speakers to their TV (the Amp essentially works as an AV receiver), it’s probably still the better option; it’s most definitely cheaper. Amazon was selling the Connect:Amp for the lowest its ever been – $384 – but it appears that that deal is dead. You can still find discounted Connect:Amp models on eBay and B&H for around $370, although they are refurbished. |

Nike 20% Off Sale
Save 20%: Three of Nike’s best-selling running shoes of 2018 are currently on sale for an even deeper discount. Enter code SAVE20 at checkout to get an additional 20 percent off all sale styles, meaning there are a ton of gym and running shoes available, all under $100. We picked out a few of our favorites below — all of which we heavily tested last year, as well as awarded in our Best New Running Shoes of 2018 and GP100. If you’re training for any spring or summer races, now is a good time to stock up on shoes that you can rotate through (one for long, easy and speed runs) so your shoes stay fresher for longer — your legs and feet will thank you. — Meg Lappe


LG UK6300
Save $200+: The LG UK6300 is an entry-level 4K TV that was released in 2018, and it’s a solid option for anybody looking to make the upgrade from their old HDTV. It supports HDR10 and can be set up to work with Google Assistant or Alexa. Also, it’s pretty affordable right now. LG just dropped the price of the UK6300 by several hundred dollars; on its website, LG is selling 55-inch models for $499, which is $200 off the original MSRP. You can pick up the same TV for a little bit less on either eBay or Amazon, too. |
