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.

Tekto Gear makes a wide array of commendable knives. Its automatic blades are some of the sturdiest and best-looking around. One of the newest additions to its automatic category is the Torp. It has a 3.4-inch chrome steel blade that pairs with a splendid forest green aviation-grade aluminum handle for a prominent look. The Torp also features a tungsten glass breaker for added utility. The distinct Torp is certainly a welcome addition to the Tekto Gear offering.

Use the discount code GP20 for 20-percent off.

Note: Owning and carrying an automatic knife isn’t legal in every state due to the Federal Switchblade Act. You can check how the law works in your state here.

Nelson Rigg CL-1060-BP Commuter Sport Backpack
Save 50%: Very few backpacks can say they “have it all” when it comes to space, utility and durability.
If the Nelson Rigg CL-1060-BP Commuter Sport Backpack can’t make that claim then no one can. Equipped with a 16-liter capacity, integrated helmet holder, hydration pack compartment, separate camera pouch, a tablet and laptop sleeve, dedicated media player or smartphone pocket and lockable zippers. Almost everything you need for your commute and the day ahead has a space in the Nelson Rigg Commuter Sport. — Bryan Campbell

Belstaff’s Private Sale
Save 40%: If you’re in need of a sharp new coat for fall, don’t miss Belstaff’s Private Sale. Right now, you can save 40 percent on leather coats, waxed cotton jackets and quilted layers that will keep you warm until winter’s worst calls for the heaviest layers in your closet. — Justin Fenner


Opinel Slim Line No. 10 Bubinga Pocket Knife
Save 40%: Time and time again, pocket knives from Opinel continue to impress. Between landing on our Best EDC Folding Knives list and just generally being a knife some of us can’t live without, the Opinel Slimline is undoubtedly a benchmark in utility and minimalist, straightforward design. Do yourself a favor and pick up the No. 10 Bubinga for 20% off, today and see what we’re all raving about. — Bryan Campbell


Revolutionary New Gear for Winter Is on Sale Right Now
Save 20%: Moosejaw is offering 20 percent off some of the best new winter products that just became available only weeks ago, from Salomon’s new ski binding to Patagonia’s lightest synthetic insulation jacket. — Tanner Bowden


LG 4K OLED TV
Save $1,097: Whether you’re interested in an OLED TV or you just want a good and affordable TV – this checks both those boxes. B&H is offering a 55-inch C8PUA for just $1,400 when you enter the code LGDAY at checkout. The 55-inch C8PUA was originally going for $2,497, but the price was dropped to $1,697 in the last month or so. However, now that you can get another ~$300 off at B&H with that code, this OLED is almost the same price as LG’s still-really-nice LCD TVs. And that’s pretty ridiculous.

Note: LG notoriously makes the best OLED TVs and the C8PUA is one of its best – both CNET and Rtings.com gave it glowing reviews.

Casio AE1200WH World-Multifunction
Save 40%: I was on the hunt for an affordable watch I could beat the shit out of, still depend on it to tell me the time and not get heartbroken if it bit the dust. In my search, I came across the Casio AE1200WH World Multifunction. It’s above and beyond what I was looking for, but it’s exactly what I need. And for $15, how do you turn it down? — Bryan Campbell

Bonobos Is Giving Us a Little Extra
Save an additional 30% on final sale items If you’re still shopping for fall essentials, don’t miss Bonobos’ current sale. The menswear retailer is currently offering 30 percent off some of its most desirable sale pieces, like warm flannel shirts, cotton-cashmere quarter zips, jeans and leather accessories. All you have to do to take advantage of the sale is enter the code SUPERSALE when you check out.— Justin Fenner


ThermoWorks ChefAlarm
Save 20% The ChefAlarm has an extra-long cable (47 inches), a 6-inch probe and does not have the typical weak points we’ve seen in other probe thermometers. Its got magnets on the back to stay put on your oven door, adjustable volume settings (because it was designed for professional kitchen use, it gets very loud), screen brightness dampers and is the only probe thermometer we’ve tested that can be calibrated. More importantly, it’s also the most consistently accurate temperature reader we’ve tried.

Using it is pretty simple: input a desired internal temperature, insert the probe deep into the turkey breast or thigh and close oven on the cable with ChefAlarm’s body on the countertop. When the bird is nearing your desired temperature, it’ll alert you, and alert you again once it’s reached peak doneness. Probe thermometers (ones that you leave in the meat during cooking) are essential for cooking larger meats, as ovens can drop 50 to 75 degrees with a single opening of the oven door.

The ThermoWorks ChefAlarm is a modest $13 off today, and if ordered today should arrive by Turkey Day.

Champion Reverse Weave Classic Hoodie
Save 30%:Since the early 1900s, New York athletic brand Champion has been making some of the best basics on the market. But like many great 20th century brands, it began producing cheaper versions of its iconic sweats overseas in the last decades of the century. Instead of discarding its rich heritage, Champion revived its signature reverse weave fabric for a range of well-made hoodies. The design features a loopback interior, a drawstring hood and a front kangaroo pocket — just the essentials. So if you’re willing to spend a bit more for a better hoodie, head over to End today. This classic style is now 30 percent off and costs just under $70. — John Zientek

The Best Deals of the Day: November 14, 2018

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.

The Everlasting Rose from Rosephoria
A fresh bouquet of flowers is a thing of beauty. But it can also be extremely wasteful, considering fresh roses last a week (if you’re lucky). A preserved or everlasting rose is an eco-friendly alternative that can bring much more than just a week of happiness.

The Everlasting Rose from Rosephoria is that smart option that cuts down on waste. It lasts up to a year, and it is also a cost-effective alternative to constant bouquets of flowers: a 9-inch stem costs $150, while the 11-inch costs $190. It doesn’t hurt that they look rather enchanting under a crystal glass dome, which comes with every order.

Use discount code Gear10 for 10 percent off the Rosephoria Everlasting Rose.

Barbour Quilted Jacket
Save 33 Percent Their quality, construction and highly considered details make Barbour products great value at full price, so when they go on sale it’s worth getting excited about. Right now, Nordstrom is offering 33 percent off Barbour’s Bowden quilted jacket, which is cut from a microfiber tech jacket that can move with you — and help you stay warm in some of late fall’s worst inclement weather.— Justin Fenner


Arai Quantum-X Box Helmet
Save 40%: The ‘X’ range of helmets by Arai is one of the brand’s most versatile line. If you’re on the market for an everyday helmet, there’s a good chance the Quantum-X fits the bill. On a regular day, you can expect the Arai Quantum-X Box Helmet to go for over $800, but today it’s on sale at 40 percent off at $500. — Bryan Campbell


Asics GT 2000 6 Sale
Save $40+ Asics is known for its stability prowess. The shoes got me through my first half marathon and half IRONMAN thanks to the support and durability each pair provided. With stability comes some heft, which is why the GT-2000 6 is exciting. The 10.5 ounces is half an ounce than its predecessor, thanks to a loss of some upper fabric and the plastic heel counter. Another bold change in the GT-2000 is the FlightFoam midsole, Asics’ proprietary foam that provides a firm push off which can be helpful on your daily runs. Since the GT 2000 7 arrived earlier this month, version six is now $47 off. Snag a pair today and give your winter runs an added kick. — Meg Lappe


Dyson A10 Humidifier
Save 30% or $150: It’s getting to the time of year where we’re inside most of the time, with the heat piping, and you basically need a humidifier or risk drying out. Enter the Dyson AM10 Humidifier ($499 $350). It pulls double duty as both a humidifier and fan, comes in three color options, and looks as futuristic as Dyson’s much-lauded heating and cooling systems. If we’re being honest, however, as cool as this Dyson humidifier is – it’s also overkill. Dyson overengineered the crap out of this thing, designing it to work ultrasonically, meaning its fan is powerful enough to blow out mist through its oval design without you even noticing. The A10 also cleans the air using Dyson’s Ultraviolet Cleanse technology; the company claims it kills 99.9-percent of bacteria before the hydrated air is blown into the room.

Red Wing Shoes and Boots
Save 63%:It’s a rare occurrence when you can find discounted footwear from Red Wing Heritage. But every so often, Nordstrom Rack offers a range of shoes and boots from the brand at highly-reduced prices. Often, the styles are European or Japanese market styles or factory seconds, and the savings are usually at least half off. Currently, you can save up to 63 percent on shoes and boots from Red Wing Heritage. For the widest range of sizes, check out the derby shoes and engineer boots — they’re all less than $200. — John Zientek

The Best Deals of the Day: November 13, 2018

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 sneakers are classics for a reason: they go with just about anything and anyone can pull them off. That also makes them ripe for adding your own style to them, which you can do through Converse’s customization site.

From the classic Chuck Taylor All Star High to the One Star, you can make just about any Converse sneaker your own. You can start with canvas, leather or suede and the options are aplenty from there. Or you can start with an inspiration from other Converse sneakers and add your own touch. The best part? From Nov. 12-15 ALL custom Converse sneakers are 25 percent off when you use the code CUSTOMCON at checkout.

Lodge Pre-Seasoned Cast-Iron Dutch Ovens
Save Up to $40: Beyond a chef’s knife, and maybe your trusty cast-iron skillet, a Dutch oven is the most important (read: versatile) tool in the kitchen. It’s great for soups, stews or even frying up some chicken wings. And a good one will last a lifetime if properly cared for. Any chef worth their salt will recommend one of two French brands — Staub or Le Creuset — but examples from either come with the same caveat: they cost hundreds of dollars.

Lodge, on the other hand, offers a couple of budget-friendly alternatives that, today, start at just $19; the 2-, 5- and 7-quart variants are all discounted on Amazon. They may not look as pretty on your stovetop. But they’ll cook chili just fine.

Rev’It Pilot Jacket
Save 36%: It’s no coincidence bomber jackets look just as good today as they did in the ’40s. Whether it’s snug in a P-51 Mustang Cockpit at 400mph or cruising down the open road at 40mph, the jacket’s timeless style knows no bounds. Finding a bomber jacket at a good price can be a bit tricky though — Style, quality and durability don’t come cheap. Luckily, Rev’It’s Pilot Jacket is on sale, today at 36 percent off.

Abrasion-resistant waxed buffalo leather, a detachable thermal liner, fleece collar and Knox Lite CE protection at shoulders and elbows translates to a motorcycle jacket that gives you high-fashion paired genuine protection. If you do find yourself on the open road, the fleece collar can be flipped up and locked too, because when you don’t have the benefit of a glass canopy and a metal fuselage, every bit of protection from the wind helps.
— Bryan Campbell

Miir 64oz Insulated Beer Growler
Save 50%: For beer aficionados, craft breweries are pilgrimage-worthy destinations. Not only can you see how the liquid is made (and potentially enjoy a pour with the head brewer), but it’s often the only place that you can find limited batches of recipes that never get distributed to bars or bottle shops. These beers are sold in one-off can runs or, more commonly, straight from the tap and served in a growler.

But, if you are one of the determined who had to drive hours to find that Holy Grail, glass isn’t the best way to get it back home. There are a variety of insulated versions of the big bottle available from brands that are best known for making thermoses and water bottles. Miir is included in that lot — it makes its growler with double-wall vacuum insulation and medical-grade stainless steel to keep beverages cold for more than 24 hours. With a vessel that steadfast you could, hypothetically, transport your favorite beer around the world. Right now, it’s on sale at Amazon for 50 percent off. — Tanner Bowden

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 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. Get 20 percent off one item at Backcountry when you enter code TAKE20NOVEMBER. If the micro puff isn’t for you, there are a plethora of other apparel items you can test out and use the code to save.— Meg Lappe


Fellow Stagg EKG Coffee Kettles
Save 15% Originally only available in all-black, the kettles were designed with pour-over coffee brewing in mind. Hyper-accurate water temperature control, fast heating, a built-in timer (pivotal to those serious about their pour-over recipes) and a gooseneck spout that keeps water flow slow and consistent.

The only real problem with the Stagg EKG and the EKG+ (the latter can be controlled via a handy Bluetooth app) is the price — the former retailing at $149, the latter at $199.

Today on Huckberry, that’s less of a problem, as both kettles (along with the rest of Fellow’s products on the site) are on sale for 15 percent off and up.

Woolrich John Rich and Bros. Parkas
Save 20%:In the last week, many parts of the northern United States got a first dusting of snow. Though it may have melted relatively quickly, it’s a heads-up for what’s coming. Take it as a notice to make sure your winter wardrobe is ready to go. And if you find yourself in need of a solid coat for winter’s worst, head over to East Dane today. A couple parkas from Woolrich John Rich and Bros. are currently 20 percent off. The understated design features a mid-length silhouette, a duck down fill and a fur-trimmed hood. Originally designed in the early ‘70s for Alaskan oil pipeline workers, this parka hasn’t changed that much in the past decades and is sure to keep you warm when the first blizzard hits. — John Zientek

Travel Bags from Packs Projects
With emerging travel brands popping up every day, finding a quality piece of luggage is possible. The hard part is finding one that offers premium style at an affordable price and takes care in making a quality product while creating an opportunity to make the world better. Packs Project has accomplished all that with quality hardware and an elevated look with the added benefit of supporting a great cause.

Packs Project makes luxury travel backpacks, bags, weekenders, duffles and more that aim to help improve educational opportunities in underdeveloped countries — 10-percent of all Packs Project sales go straight to this vital initiative. Nearly one in six people around the world cannot read or write. And by making premium bags that support that cause, Packs Project hopes to give more people access to a better life.

Use the discount code GPVET30 on Veteran’s Day for a special 30-percent discount site-wide. After that, use GEARPATROL20 for a 20-percent discount off full priced items.

Backcountry Sale
Save 20% We’re big fans of Mountain Hardwear’s insulation — the company is constantly innovating to push the limits on windproof and water-resistant down. The StretchDown Hooded jacket is one of our favorite picks from the brand. It’s filled with Q.Shield insulation, a 750-fill water-resistant down. The active fit coat stops at your hips, so there’s plenty of movement if you want to take it skiing, hiking, climbing, snowboarding or another winter activity.

Enter code TAKE20NOVEMBER at check out to get 20 percent off one full-price item. Whether you need a new winter coat, a ski jacket, snow pants or more, the possibilities are pretty endless. — Meg Lappe

LL Bean Boots
Save 25%: The Bean Boot is a classic for a reason — it prevents that wet feet feeling thanks to an impressive rubber bottom and an instantly recognizable leather upper. Over the years, not much has changed besides the variety of colored leather options (dark or light, and sometimes grey), and the interior lining of Thinsulate. Pick from a boat shoe, 6-inch, 8-inch, or something a bit more Chelsea-boot inspired. The L.L. Bean Boot world is your oyster.

Enter code FALL25 at checkout to save up to 25 percent. — Meg Lappe

Staub Ceramic 2-Piece Nested Oval Baking Set
Save $35:Since it burst onto the scene in the early 1970s, Staub has become known as one of the premier cookware manufacturers in the world, perhaps most famous for its enameled cast-iron Dutch ovens (which we reviewed here). But the French brand makes a bunch of other great cookware, too — such as these ceramic casserole dishes, which are pretty perfect for everything from mac and cheese to baked ziti. Normally retailing for $84, the Ceramic 2-Piece Nested Oval Baking Set is currently discounted to just $49 at Food52.

LL Bean Packaway down jacket
Save $85: If you haven’t committed to the Nano Puff just yet, and price is the primary factor holding you back, there’s another option: L.L.Bean’s Primaloft Packaway Jacket, which is on sale today for just $75 when you use code FALL25 at checkout from L.L. Bean’s site. I know what you’re thinking — it’s not Patagonia — and I get that. The Patagonia brand has a particular magnetism to it. But, like Patagonia, L.L.Bean is also a heritage outdoor brand that is, objectively, iconic. — Tanner Bowden

Technological innovation comes with great benefits. No surprise there. But it also has side-effects: plastic packaging, the overuse of raw materials and creation of electronic waste. Nimble wants to change that.

Nimble focuses on minimizing environmental impact by bolstering e-waste recycling, using eco-friendly packaging and utilizing better materials in all its devices. The Wireless Pad is a prime example of this philosophy come to life. Compatible with any wireless-charging devices, the Wireless Pad can charge multiple devices at once. It’s covered in a fabric made from organic hemp and recycled plastic bottles; it’s also built with plant-based bioplastics derived from corn and sugarcane. It’s refreshing to see an innovative product that can do better for the environment, too.

Enter code GP25 for 25 percent off all Nimble products sitewide.

Need Supply Co. Singles Day Sale
Save 11% We are big fans of Herschel Supply Co.’s backpacks. The fun patterns and simple designs work as a gym and work bag making them easy to spot on your subway commute or bike ride into the office. Recently, Herschel Supply Co. launched outerwear — and it’s just as minimalist and fantastic as the bags. The quilted vest and jackets are cut from water-resistant polyester and come in a variety of colors. Need Supply Co. is celebrating National Singles Day where you get 11 percent off sitewide when you use code SELFLOVE at checkout. Since no one else will keep you warm, this outerwear will do just the trick. Happy Single’s Day and happy shopping. — Meg Lappe |
Boots That Live Up to Their Name
Save up to 52% on Thorogood Right now, a handful of Thorogod’s classic boots are on sale for up to 52 percent off at Nordstrom Rack — which is a great deal for footwear you’ll likely have for the rest of your life.
— Justin Fenner


Goruck Veterans Day Sale
Save $60+ The founder of Goruck spent years as a Green Beret fine-tuning precisely what he needed in his go ruck. From there the brand expanded to create military-inspired gear, apparel and footwear. The original tactical backpack GR1 started the trend, and now each bag produced by Goruck has a set purpose. The Bullet Ruck offers a way to streamline your morning — it’s a simple pack that is just as durable and tough as the original. The Rucker was built for the Goruck challenge (an intense race) and has Expert Ruck Plates, which won’t break, meaning your laptop is safe from practically everything. Both are rainproof with silent zipper pulls, feature multiple pockets and molle attachments, so you can attach what you need to the pack. — Meg Lappe |

Coleman Indoor-Outdoor Air Mattress
Save 50% There are few things more satisfying than a good and timely deal. Today, on Amazon Coleman’s well-reviewed indoor-outdoor air mattress is half off on Amazon today.

The SupportRest is taller than most air mattresses, which makes it easier to get in and out of bed (and at a more familiar height in general). Smartly, the outside ring of the mattress is slightly elevated from the rest of the mattress — this makes rolling off the mattress a lesser likelihood.

This queen-sized mattress, which Coleman suggests for either indoor or outdoor use, does not come with a pump, but one can be added to your order for $17 (look right above the “Add to Cart” button). You could also use a pump you’ve got in the closet from air mattresses past, too.

Frye Lace-up Boots
Save up to 54%:If your go-to boots are worse for wear, this is an ideal time to invest in a new pair. Though the majority of the U.S. is experiencing a relatively mild, snow-free fall, winter is just around the corner. A rugged pair of boots is a necessity when the weather turns and heritage American brand Frye offers a range of styles appropriate for the cooler months. If you head over to Nordstrom Rack today, you can save up to 54 percent on a few well-made lace-up styles. Normally priced well over $300, these boots now cost as little as $165 — that’s a preseason sale worth taking advantage of. — John Zientek

BOLDR Watches
A field watch should be ready for whatever you can throw at it. And while many watches claim to be field watches, few are truly rugged enough to handle any environment. The Venture Field Watch from BOLDR with its titanium case, however, is a true adventurer’s companion.

Made out of solid aerospace-grade titanium, the slim 38mm case is incredibly strong and extremely light. Water-resistant up to 330 feet, the Venture also sports a Nato strap with a titanium keeper and buckle. And with BOLDR’s lifetime warranty, you certainly won’t have to worry about the watch should something ever happen to it. Sleek and stylish, BOLDR’s Venture Field Watch can go anywhere you want it to and will look good along the way.

Two Great Coffee Makers
Save 20% There are hundreds of drip coffee makers in the world, but only 14 have earned the Specialty Coffee Association’s stamp of approval. The Certified Home Brewer Program is the most rigorous third-party coffee maker certification there is.

Today, two coffee makers from some of coffee’s biggest names — OXO and Breville — are on sale on Amazon, and both are SCA-certified. .

The Breville Precision Brewer ($240) and the OXO Barista Brain ($160) both produce excellent cups of coffee. For the prospective buyer, the Breville machine comes with more brew options and a bit more in the way of customizing your brew, and is a good bit faster to brew (this is thanks to a unique water heating system). The OXO brewer is a bit more compact (measure the space between your counter and cabinets before purchasing either) and straightforward, though, and is likely the better choice for the person who wants the easiest route to great coffee.

Both are at or near the lowest price we’ve ever seen them on Amazon today.

All-Clad Roasting Pan
Save 50% All-Clad, widely regarded as producers of the best stainless steel cookware money can buy, make a roasting pan and rack combo that typically runs $260. Today, it’s half that. All-Clad’s roaster pack is made with the same 18/10 stainless steel as its skillets and saute pans, and therefore is safe to put on the stove to make gravy from the turkey drippings. The rack itself is coated in a non-stick material, a helpful touch intended to keep meat from latching onto the rack.

Two of Patagonia’s Best Lifestyle Jackets Are on Sale Today
Save 50%: Patagonia is offering 50-percent off some of its best pieces in the Web Specials section of its website. Two highlights from the sale are the Tough Puff Shirt and the Nano Puff Bivy Pullover. Both are currently available in near-full size runs. — Gear Patrol

Levis Holiday Sale
Save 30% The 501 Original Fit jeans from Levi’s are a classic for a reason. Generations before us have worn the slim fit and durable denim. Right now you can pick up a pair of your favorite style of jeans for 30 percent off. Stock up on fall staples like jean jackets, tees and pants all before the holidays. Enter code HOL30 at checkout. Here are a few of our picks. — Meg Lappe

The Very Warm offers some incredibly unique clothing. The art-focused designer brand works directly with artists and dedicates each garment to celebrating art and the artists that have inspired the pieces.

The Very Warm’s outerwear collection, in particular, is full of timeless items that subtly intertwine art. The Hyde — a mixed fabric bomber in a stylish pattern — features Gil Goren’s “Fresh Love” print as a lining inside the jacket. In navy plaid, it’s an instant classic. And if you use the discount code GEAR20 at checkout, you can get 20 percent off this jacket, and all outwear from The Very Warm.

Backcountry Access Tracker 2 Avalanche Package
Save $91: Backcountry skiing has blown up in recent years, and in response, the equipment that helps skiers and snowboarders do it — from backpacks and jackets to skis and boots — has become lighter and more versatile than ever. But for anyone just beginning to explore beyond ski resort boundaries these items should be secondary purchases. There are three that you need first: a shovel, a probe and a beacon.

It isn’t the most glorious collection of items; unlike a new pair of skis, the hope is that you’ll never have to use these things. They’re safety tools designed to mitigate the risk of the backcountry’s primary danger: avalanches. To wander into avalanche terrain without them is to gamble one’s life, along with those of any other riders who might also be exploring the area. Backcountry Access is one of the most well-recognized names in avalanche safety equipment, and it offers all three tools in one convenient bundle. Right now it’s on sale for 25 percent off for a savings of $91. Pick one up, and then go sign up for an avalanche safety course. — Tanner Bowden

Flylow Mittens and Gloves
Save 20%: Maybe you’ve noticed this at ski hills: the lift operators, instructors, groomers and bartenders — in other words, the locals — can often be seen wearing tan-colored leather gloves with quilted backs. They’re called Kincos, and they cost less than $20 (compared to high-end ski gloves that can run in the hundreds). Skiers and snowboarders wear them until they’re ragged and then head to the hardware store or gas station to pick up another pair.

Kinco gloves will suffice for many, but others who want more durability and more warmth without the price can look to Flylow, a company that used the cheap work glove as a platform and refined it for the mountain. Flylow uses pigskin leather baked with SnoSeal beeswax for waterproofing and a layer of synthetic insulation for additional warmth. Beyond that, its gloves and mittens remain simple, and they aren’t expensive either — right now you can get a pair for just $40. — Tanner Bowden

Dyson Multifloor 2 Vacuum
Save $150 Dyson’s upright vacuums may have gone by the wayside with this year’s release of the wireless V10, but that doesn’t mean they’re not any good. On the contrary, Dyson’s uprights are what made the brand famous in the first place, and one of the best uprights ever made — the Ball Multifloor 2 — just dropped its price significantly.

The Multifloor 2 was already one of the best value buys in Dyson’s lineup before this drop, as it’s significantly easier to maneuver than previous uprights, adjusts the suction head height to accommodate shifting surfaces, is a bit more compact than the original Multifloor and comes HEPA-certified (this is important to your health).

Frye Boots
Save 65%:You’ll get a lot of mileage out of a low-profile ankle boot. The versatile style pairs just as well with slacks and blazer as it does with ripped jeans and a hoodie. So, if you’re looking to pick up a pair that won’t break the bank, head over to Nordstrom Rack. Right now you can save 65 percent on two suede ankle boots from Frye: a Chelsea boot and a harness boot. So for less than what you’d spend on many sneakers, you can pick up a pair of sleek, versatile boots — not bad for a mid-week sale. — John Zientek


Dainese Freccia72 Leather Jacket
Save 40%: Dainese’s racing heritage stretches back decades, so when it goes looking for inspiration for styling new vintage jackets, the well is never dry. Earlier this year Dianese introduced its 72 collection as top-of-the-line vintage pulling designs from the first jackets raced in, back in the ’70s. There’s no shortage of style or protection — there’s removable soft Pro-armor in the shoulders and elbows. And now, you can get the Freccia72 Leather Jacket for nearly half off and save $240. — Bryan Campbell


Reebok CrossFit Nano 7 Sale
Save 60% If you watch the CrossFit Games (basically the Olympics of CrossFit) you’ll see a lot of Reebok Nanos. The sneaker is one of Reebok’s top performing shoes for weightlifting and WODs (workout of the day). Now on its seventh iteration, the Reebok CrossFit Nano currently features a NanoWeave mesh upper to keep feet cool and breezy, even while you’re deadlifting or sprinting across a hot track. An external heel counter helps supported from the ground up, and the high abrasion rubber outsole enables you to keep a tight grip during rope climbs.

And instead of a regular old air freshener that eventually gets thrown out, you get an elevated aromatherapy experience in your vehicle leaving your car smelling good and looking good, too. Gear Patrol readers can receive 35 percent off when you use the code GP35 at checkout.

The brand’s shoes are a hit in our NYC office and on any given day you’ll find multiple colorways on employees’ feet.

So find your nearest polling place, read up on local initiatives and exercise your right to vote today — and after the polls close, you can pick up a quality pair of shoes. — John Zientek

Diefendorff Cornelius Collection Watches
Save $50: Diefendorff is a new American boutique watch brand with an interesting backstory. Founder James Reeves’s ancestor, Captain Henry Diefendorff, fought and was killed in the American Revolutionary War, and Reeves fashioned his brand and its aesthetics as an homage to this man, who died 200 years before his birth.

His first watches, called the Cornelius Collection, are available in blue, green, brown and woven carbon fiber dials and feature the Swiss-made Sellita SW200 automatic movement, a 42mm stainless steel case with a unique bezel design, sapphire crystal and case back, 100 meters of water resistance, a date wheel at 3 o’clock, lumed hands and markers and 7 different leather strap options (extra strap options are available separately, including a mesh bracelet). While the retail price on the blue, green and brown dials is normally $899 and that of the carbon fiber dial $949, Reeves is offering a special discount of $50 to GP readers by using the code GP50 at checkout. — Oren Hartov

Save $40 If you’re traveling for the holidays, this is the duffel you need. Whether you’re heading home for Thanksgiving or crashing with a friend or S.O., you’ll want space to bring a variety of impressing outfits, your new shoes for a turkey trot and possibly, your laundry. The Patagonia Black Hole 90-liter duffel is impressive. Beyond your standard packing list, the bag will carry everything you need to go hiking, mountain biking, slalom skiing or ice climbing. The ripstop fabric holds up to airport carousels, and the internal pockets help you keep everything organized.

Right now, you can pick one up for just $105 in a variety of colors. — Meg Lappe


Mammut Trovat Guide High GTX Boot Sale
Save $70+ While not entirely ice, Iceland is one of those countries where you need a reliable pair of boots. Whether you’re driving Ring Road or just checking out Skógafoss waterfalls, keeping your feet warm and dry throughout your journey is essential. The Mammut Trovat Guide High GTX boot made the trip to Iceland with one of our photographers to shoot an adventure with Luminox. Not only did the shoes keep his feet dry throughout boating and off-roading quad adventures, but they even received compliments. From the beginning, there were no hot spots, which is quite rare with thick boots like these. The leather upper comes with a Gore-Tex performance comfort membrane, so no water seems in. The Vibram sole keeps your feet locked in place while you’re walking around everything from ice to volcanic rock. You can save up to $70 today when you buy a pair of these — and then plan your next Icelandic adventure. — Meg Lappe

The Best Deals of the Day: November 5, 2018

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.

The United States Army has a high standard for the gear it supplies to its soldiers, hence “military-grade” being commonly used to describe goods of the highest durability. While most standard-issue goods are incredible for their durability, they don’t always have the best functionality or aesthetic, which is why US Army veteran Chris Elfering created BOND Travel Gear to meet a higher level of aesthetics. “My friends and I wanted gear that was organized, functional and would last forever,” says Elfering.

BOND Travel Gear uses military-grade materials and construction to create modern day carry goods that come with a lifetime guarantee. Pieces like the Attache 13 and the Escapade Pouch are made with rugged nylon to stand up to any travel demands. And the Venture Pouch is a versatile bag that can handle just about anything. What’s more, use the code GEARPATROL at checkout for 10-percent off all items until the end of November.

Why Wait?
Save 40% on Fall Staples at J.Crew If your wardrobe is in need of a fall refresh, head to J.Crew. Right now, the uniquely American brand is offering 40 percent off the kinds of clothes this season calls for. All you have to do to take advantage of the deal is use code WHYWAIT at checkout.— Justin Fenner


Patagonia Nano Puff Sale
Save 30% We’re not shy about our love for Patagonia jackets — and for a good reason. The coats are warm, well-ventilated and work for just about everything from backcountry skiing to bar hopping. The Nano Puff is ultralightweight, stuffs into its own pocket and protected with ripstop fabric. The Primaloft Gold Eco insulation stays warm, even when wet and the majority of the jacket is made with recycled materials and insulation. Today you can pick up one of the hooded jackets for just $175, a solid $70 off its original price. The toughest decision you’ll make is what color to get: there are six different options. — Meg Lappe


Seiko Watch Sale
Save 40%: 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.
— Oren Hartov


JBL Everest 100 Elite
Save $170: The JBL Everest 100 Elite ($200 $30) are noise-canceling in-ear headphones that were released in 2016. JBL appears to be phasing out them in favor of the newer JBL Everest 150NC ($200), however, so you really can’t buy “brand new” Everest 100 Elite headphones anywhere. You can, although, get a pair for wicked cheap if you shop refurbished. Both eBay and JBL are selling refurbished models of the Everest 100 Elite headphones for just $30. That’s $170 off what they were going less than two years ago. (Full disclosure – I haven’t tested the Everest 100 Elite headphones, so I can’t speak to exactly how they perform. Judging by other sites, however, the Everest 100 Elite have gotten mixed reviews. Morgan Despot of Major Hi-Fi wrote highly of the JBL Everest 100 Elite: “This sounds like a JBL Everest headphone, they all have similar sonic footprints. For being an in-ear active noise-canceling headphone JBL has engineered a pretty decent piece of technology. With the market also being pretty slim in this area I wouldn’t be surprised to see this being one of the better selling models out there in time.” Also, the average review score on JBL’s product page is 3/5 stars.) |

Chef’s Choice Trizon XV Knife Sharpener
Save 62% It’s pretty much agreed upon that Chef’sChoice knife sharpeners are the best electric sharpeners you can buy for a dollar amount that isn’t physically painful. This consensus is reached from the likes of Cook’s Illustrated,
Wirecutter and a hundred other kitchen gear review sites. The most recommended option — the electric Trizon XV — is deeply discounted on Woot today.

Normally $210, the Trizon XV is more than 60 percent off today — that’s cheaper than it’s ever been on Amazon.

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 Pocket Knife
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

Rev’It Millburn Jacket
Save 42%: There are those who choose to winterize their motorcycles and store them until Spring, which is perfectly normal and fine. Then there are those of us who can’t go that long without riding, layer up and soldier through the colder months. When the latter is the case, getting the right gear is mandatory, but sacrificing style doesn’t have to be. The Rev’It Millburn Jacket is a subtle call back to military-style jackets of old and it’s also entirely ready for some of the worst winter has to throw at you.

The outer shell is a polyester and cotton twill with a Hydratex G-liner for waterproofing and a thermal liner to help keep you extra toasty. You also get decent on-road protection with Seesmart CE-level 1 armor at shoulders and elbows. It’s another stylish motorcycle from Rev’It that packs legitimate impact protection, and today it’s 42% off. — Bryan Campbell

Monoprice Strata Home
Save $27 The Strata Home doesn’t boast the absolute precision and speed-heating of Anova’s option, or the app control of the Joule, but it is more than half the cost of either right now. The Strata Home, which usually retails around $70, is $43 on Monoprice’s site — that’s $20 cheaper than it is on Amazon. Pro tip: you can use ordinary ziplock bags, you don’t actually need a vacuum sealer.

Levi’s Made and Crafted Sweatshirts
Save 30%:In early November, citizens in North America undergo a bombardment of holiday ads. The post-Halloween-pre-Black-Friday weeks are a time for brands and retailers to make forthright pitches for your hard-earned money, and while you may not want to think about the hectic aspects of the holidays quite yet, you can always prepare for the relaxed times. Now at East Dane, you can save 30 percent on the perfect sweatshirts for holiday lounging from Levi’s Made and Crafted. Available in both crew neck and hoodie and zip-up styles, they’re sure to keep you comfy this season, no matter the state of family celebrations. — John Zientek

L.L. Bean Fleece Pullover Sale
Save 25% Beyond the Bean boot and the iconic Wicked Good Moccasins, L.L. Bean is the mothership for all things outdoor related. While some don’t have the instant name recognition that other items have, the brand creates a plethora of solid apparel, like the Sweater Fleece Pullover. The rugged knit is an easy basic to keep on hand for any number of activities and comes in eight colors. Need an extra layer on a hike? Throw this in your pack. Is the top of the mountain just too chilly? Add this under your coat. Trying to avoid using heat in your home? This heritage-inspired piece will help you cut costs. Right now, you can use code BIG25 to save 25 percent at checkout. The classic black color is down to $52.49 with the sale, while every other color is still under $60 with the discount. — Meg Lappe


Nelson Rigg CL-2020 GPS Tank Bag
Save 14%: Some tank bags merely hold a wallet, smartphone and various sundries. Then there’s the Nelson Rigg CL-2020 GPS Tank Bag which expands to 27-liters, has a multi-position GPS holder, can double as a backpack when you’re not on the bike and is hydration pack friendly. It’s a genuine multi-tool as far as motorcycle accouterments go and it’s on sale at $120. — Bryan Campbell


The Orient Bambino
Save $190: The Orient Bambino is a stalwart low-cost favorite amongst many watch enthusiasts for pairing an automatic, hacking and hand winding-capable movement with a clean, vintage-inspired design. You also get a domed dial and crystal, and a date at 3 o’clock, all at a relatively low price.

How low? Well, normally, the watch retails for around $300, but you can usually find the Bambino for sale online at a decent price cut. Huckberry, for instance, has 14 different versions of the Bambino on sale for between $110 and $125, including the 40.5mm Versions 1-3 and the 42mm version 4. — Oren Hartov

Wolverine Eckins Boot
Save 46%:For the fall and winter months, you need a well-made pair of go-anywhere boots. If you don’t already have some, head over to Nordstrom Rack and pick up the Wolverine Eckins boots. This Chelsea boot style features a brown leather upper, a heel pull-tab and a rubber lug sole. Made in the USA, it’s comfortable, durable and good-looking — it’s also just $100. — John Zientek


The North Face Ventrix Jacket
Save $76: Last year, when The North Face revealed Ventrix, its first take on active insulation, we were skeptical. Active insulation, a form of synthetic insulation that’s meant to be worn during activity and is highly breathable, isn’t new — if anything, The North Face was quite late to the game. But Ventrix is different; its fluffy structure is perforated with tiny holes that close and expand as the body moves, allowing for dynamic temperature regulation.

It’s an awesome concept, but again, when we first heard about it, we weren’t sold. But then we tried Ventrix — on hikes and ski tours and just around town — and it worked. It worked really well actually, so we included it on our list of Best Synthetic Down Jackets of 2018. We continue to stand by that choice even more so now that The North Face has expanded the scope of Ventrix into a variety of jackets (and a pair of wild-looking shorts) for 2019.

It’s still the most innovative iteration of active insulation we’ve seen, and right now you can even snag the original jacket in last season’s colors for $76 off. — Tanner Bowden

Wolf Blake Valet Tray with Cuff
Save $25: Dumping your wallet, keys, watch and cell phone on the dresser at the end of the day is one option, but if you prefer a classier setup, you really need a valet tray. The Blake Valet Tray with Cuff from Wolf, makers of watch winders, cases and jewelry boxes, is made from leather with an Ultrasuede interior and is only $60 right now on Massdrop. It features five compartments, a watch cuff to display several watches, two watch guards, and a removable tray with an outlet for a USB cord, and comes in brown or black pebble.

If you don’t need quite as much watch storage, for $50 you can opt for the Blake Valet Tray without the cuff, which features four storage compartments and comes in grey as well as brown or black pebble. — Oren Hartov

Hunter Rain Boots
Save 20%:With unpredictable fall weather in the forecast, you’d be well-advised to pick up a pair of waterproof boots if you haven’t done so already. While there are many options on the market, few have the cachet of UK-based Hunter, which has been making functional rubber boots for over 150 years. Founded in 1856 as the North British Rubber Company, Hunter was the go-to for foul-weather footwear for British soldiers during the World Wars and became a civilian staple in the post-war decades. Now at East Dane, you can pick from a range of waterproof boots from the brand for 20 percent off. The styles feature gusseted welting, quick-dry lining, padded insoles and grippy outsoles. The best part? The classic waterproof styles look good with a range of clothing and are appropriate for daily wear both in and out of the city.

Thermoball Vest Sale
Save $50+ This Thermoball vest from The North Face is everything we want in a layer. Wear it over a sweater for an outdoor soiree, under a jacket for an added piece of warmth or on its own during trekking adventures. The Thermoball technology stays warm even when you get caught in a rainstorm, packs down into its pocket and is built with 15 denier nylon ripstop fabric. Right now you can pick up a vest in eight different colors for over $50 off. — Meg Lappe[


Billy Reid Bond Peacoat
Save 29%:In a scene from the 2012 Bond film Skyfall, leading man Daniel Craig stalks an assassin through a high-rise in Shanghai. In the action-packed sequence, Craig wears a dark tailored peacoat, deviating from Bond’s iconic black-tie attire. The peacoat, it turns out, was made by Alabama-based designer Billy Reid and was a personal favorite of Craig’s long before the movie was produced. “Daniel was a customer and had purchased the peacoat, a couple of years before he started filming the movie,” Reid told GQ a few years ago. “And he just loved the coat. And when they started filming, he said, ‘I want to wear this coat in the movie.’”
After Skyfall hit theaters, Billy Reid saw the style surge in popularity, and now, six years later, the wool-blend coat is still a staple of the brand’s outerwear collection. Made in Italy, the double-breasted coat features a tailored fit, horn buttons, a single vent and leather detailing under the collar. Normally $695, the Bond Peacoat is on sale now at East Dane and costs just $487. For a quality coat that’s good enough for the silver screen’s top spy, that’s quite the deal. — John Zientek


All the Travel Accessories You Didn’t Know You Needed Are on Sale
Save More Than 20%: Packing cubes, stuff sacks, a lightweight duffel: these are the nonessential travel accessories that you need, and they’re over 20 percent off. — Tanner Bowden


Crock-Pot 7-Quart Slow Cooker
Save 20%: The weather is turning, the leaves are changing and home cooks everywhere are dusting off their Crock-Pots. If you’re not one them, slash 20 percent off the suggested retail price of this 7-quart slow cooker from the most trusted name in the business. It features a simple variable heat setting and a stoneware insert that’s dishwasher- and microwave-safe. We also hear it makes one helluva pot roast. — Jack Seemer

Laco Pilot’s Watches
Save $41: The flieger (or pilot’s watch) of WWII origins is a classic horological design, and it remains popular today. Laco, established in 1925, was one of the original manufacturers selected by the German government to produce flieger watches for pilots during the War, and they’re still producing the classic design today, designing and assembling them in Pforzeim, Germany.

Huckberry currently carries three models of Laco flieger watch, two of which, the Augsburg 42 and the Aachen 42, are currently on sale for $369, a $41 savings off the list price of $410. Both feature 42mm matte-finished stainless steel cases with 50m of water resistance, 20mm lug widths, Miyota 821 A automatic movements, scratch and impact-resistant sapphire crystals, transparent case backs, oversized knurled crowns, riveted calf leather straps and lume-filled dials and sword hands.

The differences between the two models is largely in the dials: the Augsburg 42 is an “A-type” dial, which includes a lumed minute track with larger hash marks at the hours, plus Arabic numerals and a triangle with two dots at the 12 o’clock position. The Aachen features a “B-type” dial, which has a minute track with larger hash marks at the hours, but rather than Arabic numerals corresponding to each hour, instead has numerals ascending in 5-minute intervals, plus an inner 12-hour track. — Oren Hartov

Faherty Button-up Shirts
Save 49%:When Mike Faherty started his namesake clothing brand a little over five years ago, his focus was on fabric. After spending nearly seven years at Ralph Lauren, Faherty was well-versed in both the process of making great garments and the importance of telling a story through materials. His own brand — cofounded with his brother — was rooted in the East Coast beach lifestyle, so the fabrics he designed for shirts reflected that. They had a great worn-in handfeel and a sun-kissed color. “When you saw our stuff, it was always going to have that little patina on it, whatever the fabrication may be,” Faherty told us in 2017.

The brand’s shirts are deceptively simple. On the rack, they look like basic plaid button-ups, but once you put them on, they immediately reveal the thought and effort behind the fabric. They’re substantial but soft, like a favorite shirt you’ve worn and washed for years.

If you’re in the market for a new button-up shirt, head over to Nordstorm Rack now. You can currently save 49 percent on button-up shirts from Faherty. Featuring a range of custom-developed fabrics and timeless designs, they’re well worth the price. — John Zientek

The Tekto Krawler
Tekto Gear’s knives are some of the most reliable, highly-functional blades out there. And the Krawler fits right into that mold.

Discrete and easy to use, this automatic knife features a chrome steel blade that’s as striking as it is sharp. The blade length measures 3.4 inches and is paired with an aviation aluminum alloy/sandpaper peel handle that is transparent on one side. This allows for an internal view into the automatic mechanism in action. It also sports a tungsten glass breaker, should you ever find yourself in need of one. And with the discount code GP20, you can snag the Krawler for 20 percent off.

Note: Owning and carrying an automatic knife isn’t legal in every state due to the Federal Switchblade Act. You can check how the law works in your state here.

Zwilling Kitchen Knives
Save Up to 65% These knives, for the most part, are ugly. That is to say they’ve been marked as “visually imperfect” and thus sold way below the SRP. Zwilling assures that this won’t be a problem: “Product may have minor visual imperfections or a damaged box. Though this will not affect the product’s performance.” A whole host of blade sizes and styles are available in the clearance area, and we’ve picked some of the best below.

Italian-Made Clarks Desert Boots
Save 58%:Like many shoe brands, UK-based brand Clarks moved its manufacturing overseas in the mid-aughts. For over a decade, the brand’s iconic Desert Boots were made in countries including Vietnam and India, but recently the brand has focused on bringing production back to Europe. While Clarks is now manufacturing again in the UK, it is also building high-end versions of a few styles in Italy. You can pick up a pair of these Italian-made Desert Boots right now at Nordstrom Rack for only $80. That’s 58 percent lower than list price and $50 less than the brand’s entry-level Desert Boots — hard to argue with that. — John Zientek

Jack Mason’s 42mm Diver Automatic
Classics are timeless because they transcend fads and stick to what works. Jack Mason’s 42mm Diver Automatic, for instance, is a nod to diver heritage with its rubber strap and unidirectional rotating bezel. Super-Luminova indices give its black dial and ceramic bezel high visibility underwater, while its 300-meter depth rating ensures that it will survive far beneath the waves.

The stainless steel case back also features an etching of a diver’s helmet, further elevating the tribute to the historical place of the dive watch. Get 25-percent off this dive watch using the code GP25.

Breville Barista Touch
Save $600 There are more details to get into — milk texture and temperature adjustments, ways to fiddle with water pressure and temperature, grind level and so on. But what’s most important to know is this: it cranks out impressive espresso from your kitchen countertop, it’s normally close to $2,000 and today it’s $600 off.


Gerber Knives Sale
Save 33% Whether it’s time to invest in a new EDC or you’re looking to upgrade from a previous model, a variety of Gerber knives are on sale today. Thanks to Amazon’s deals of the day, you can save up to 33 percent on mini knives, game folders, tactical knives — even a Bear Grylls ultimate knife. The deals are only around for a brief 24-hours so grab one while you can right now.

Sonos One (Bundle of Two)
Save $57: Sonos One speakers are great. I have two in my house, paired with another Play:1 speaker, and the three speakers combine in a seamless multiroom system that I control with my voice. Sonos normally sells its Sonos One speaker for $199 a pop, but it also sells bundle packs of two Sonos One speakers for $379, so you can save $20 if you know you want to buy two. If two Sonos One speakers interest you, eBay is currently discounting the bundle even further – if you use the code PICKUPTEN at checkout, you can get the bundle down to $341. That’ll save you another $37.

Also: If you want to add to your home’s Sonos system, but you don’t need to talk to Alexa, Sonos is still selling refurbished models of its Play:1 speaker for just $119 – that’s $30 off the normal $149 price.

John Varvatos Fingerless Gloves
Save 78%:For the cool autumn months, fingerless knit gloves are something of a necessity. When the temperature dips and the wind picks up, they’ll keep your hands warm, but still easily allow for smartphone use. New York designer John Varvatos offers a classic iteration of the style that is now heavily discounted at Nordstrom Rack. You can pick up a pair in either gray or black for just $15 — that’s savings of 78 percent. — John Zientek


Ami Desert Boots
Save 30%:Parisian brand Ami offers a range of understated wardrobe staples for everyday wear. Designer Alexandre Mattiussi founded the brand in 2011 after working for Dior, Givenchy and Marc Jacobs, and as such, the clothes he creates for Ami are a reaction to the trend-driven garments made by his former high-fashion employers. A great example of the brand’s style is its Desert Boot, a classic three-eye style made from rich brown suede. Featuring a black crepe sole, the boot is both comfortable and versatile. And now at East Dane, it’s 30 percent off and costs $340. While definitely an investment, it’s sure to go with just about everything in your wardrobe. — John Zientek

The main ingredient is Hypochlorous (HOCl), which is naturally produced by white blood cells to kill bacteria, reduce inflammation and help speed healing.

Streamlight ProTac 2L-X Flashlight Sale
Save $48: Finding the perfect EDC flashlight requires some research, a little patience and a knowledge of exactly what you want. Whether you’re looking for something to use in the field or at home, the technical expectations change slightly. If you can’t make up your mind or want something that’s guaranteed to handle a variety of tasks, the Streamlight ProTac 2L-X is an excellent place to start. A crowd-pleaser that’s also easy to carry makes this one of our award-winning everyday carry flashlights. A 500 lumen light isn’t the brightest out there but will do the trick in any condition. The removable pocket clip means it’s a breeze to throw in a back or side pocket. Right now, the light is down to just $37 from its original price of $85 but shop quickly since the deal is up at the end of today (as of publishing). — Meg Lappe[

Red Wing Heritage Pecos Boots
Save 47%: Though many people associate Red Wing with building work boots for farmers and factory employees in the Upper Midwest, the company also had an office in Dallas that opened in the early 1920s. To serve the Texas market where men preferred pull-on riding boots, Red Wing developed its own pull-on boot in the ‘30s. By the ‘50s, it had refined the style and given it the name of a small Texan town. And while the Pecos boot was developed in the rugged West, it quickly became a favorite across the country due to its simple silhouette, comfortable fit and durability.

If that sounds like a boot for you, head over to Nordstrom Rack for a very rare deal. You can save 47 percent on a pair of Pecos boots made with Black Skagway leather from the S.B. Foot Tanning Company in Minnesota. Currently, the style is available in sizes 7 to 10.5 (E width is standard for the Pecos silhouette) and it costs just $160. Pull them on, wear them hard, use them for years — they look equally at home on the ranch and in the city. — John Zientek
