The Best Deals of the Day: August 27, 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.

Rosephoria Everlasting Rose
Save 15%: If you’re a good partner, you should get your significant other flowers at least once a month — just as a nice gesture. If you’re lucky, those corner deli flowers might last a week. Toss in premium bouquets for birthdays and anniversaries, and you’re spending a few hundred dollars on flowers that ultimately don’t last that long every year.

Which is where Rosephoria’s Everlasting Rose comes in. It’s a much more practical option: each rose is eco-friendly because it cuts down on waste, lasts up to a year and are a cost-effective alternative to buckets of flowers (the Everlasting rose costs $150 for a 9-inch stem and $190 for an 11-inch). Plus, they look enchanting under the included luxury crystal glass dome. If you fancy yourself a practical (lazy) romantic, consider buying one luxury flower that will be there for days to come.

Use discount code Gear10 for 10% off a Rosephoria Everlasting Rose.

Shade on Sale
Save 30% on Sunglasses at East Dane If, at some point during all the fun you’ve had this summer, you happen to have misplaced a pair of sunglasses, fret not. Right now, East Dane is offering 30% off great pairs from trusted brands like Illesteva, Raen, and Le Specs. It’s a great way to save a little bit on a wardrobe essential that you should have around all year long. Just try to hold onto these pairs — deals like this don’t come around often— Justin Fenner

This Is the Arc’teryx Sale You’ve Been Waiting For
Save 30%: Arc’teryx is known for technical quality, not low prices. Right now though you can save 30 percent on one full-priced item from the Vancouver brand at Backcountry. — Tanner Bowden

Some of the Year’s Best Outdoor Products Are on Sale Now
Save up to 50%: Patagonia’s lightest synthetic insulation jacket, one of our favorite new pairs of hiking boots and so much more. — Tanner Bowden

Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box
Save up to $157: Utilizing the open real estate on the roof of your car for cargo is a decades-old method of saving on interior space. However, now that modern cars, trucks and SUVs can easily hit 65mph where aerodynamics become a concern means you have to be smarter about how stack gear on your roof. The Thule XT Motion is designed for such a problem. Pack a weekend’s worth of stuff in either the 16-, 18- or 22-cubic foot cargo box and losing MPGs or your duffel bag to highway winds becomes a thing of the past. Today on Amazon you can save up top $157 on a Motion Xt in black or titan grey. — Bryan Campbell

Mophie Wireless Charging Pad
Save $18: If you still haven’t bought a wireless charging pad for your iPhone X, and you know a friend who’s in the same boat, well it’s both your lucky days. That’s because Amazon is selling two Mophie wireless charging pads for pretty cheap. You can get two for just over $60, while Apple is currently selling one for $40. Basically, it’s good to buy in bulk.

Orient Bambino and Mako II
Save up to $155: Right now on Massdrop, you can get a great deal on two of Orient’s most popular timepieces: the dressy, old-school Bambino and the Mako II diver. The former features a slim 40mm case, a domed crystal and a ton of different dial options. The later, meanwhile, boasts a chunky case with a unidirectional rotating bezel and a 200-meter depth rating. Both can be had at exceptionally low prices right now, just $160 for the Bambino (marked down from a $300 MSRP) and $170 for the Mako II (which has a $325 MSRP). — Andrew Connor

Osprey Stratos 24 Daypack
Save 25%: The Osprey Stratos is outfitted with all the pockets, compression straps and access points you’d expect from a backpack company — especially one with a golden reputation among long-distance thru-hikers — but the standout for me has been its mesh back panel. It’s raised and tensioned away from the pack’s main vestibule, which provides a comfy trampoline-like feel and allows lots of air to flow between my back and the bag, which minimizes the sweaty back issue I had used to view as unavoidable. The mesh also integrates into the hip belt, wrapping its arms around my lower torso like a well-studied dance partner for a fit that’s more comfortable than any I’ve known before.

Right now Amazon is offering discounts on all types of Osprey backpacks, and the Stratos is currently 25 percent off. It’s perfect timing for a deal — just in time for fall hiking season. — Tanner Bowden

The Best Deals of the Day: August 24, 2018

Levi’s 501 Original-Fit Jeans
Save up to 33%: Some things just don’t go out of style, one of them being the classic American pair of jeans. Right now, Amazon is running a sale of up to 33%-off on Levi’s 501 Original-Fits in a plethora of washes and colors (everything from every conceivable shade of blue to black, white and khaki), so if you’re looking for a button-fly, straight-leg, 5-pocket jean for everyday wear, we recommend stocking up now. — Oren Hartov

Hamilton Khaki Field Automatic
Save up to $275: Hamilton’s Khaki lineup has always provided watch enthusiasts with handsome, military-inspired timepieces at reasonable prices, but now a campaign at Massdrop has two versions of the Khaki Automatic available at a big discount. Choose between the reference H70515137 ($380), which features a black dial and bracelet, or the H70595593 ($420) with a 24-hour dial display and a leather strap. Both are water-resistant to 100 meters and feature Hamilton’s H-10 movement, an automatic featuring the time and date and an impressive 80-hour power reserve. — Andrew Connor

Dyson V10 Cordless Vacuum
Save $50+Dyson’s mighty V10 cordless vacuum released just a few months ago. It’s impressive enough for the brand to shut down R&D on corded vacuums for good upon its launch. To date, it’s the most powerful cordless vacuum ever made.

These things combined make today’s discount on all three types of V10 all the more rare. The Absolute, Animal and Motorhead models are 14, 17 and 10 percent off, respectively. The only difference between each is the number of extra, task-specific vacuum heads that comes with your order (a breakdown of which heads come with which can be found here). This is the first time the entire line has been on sale. — Will Price

CamelBak Arete 18 on Sale
Save $17 Staying hydrated on a summer hike or run is imperative to your performance. And the sun can take more out of you than you think. An easy way to keep water at the ready is to wear a hydration pack. The CamelBak Arete 18 holds up to 50-ounces of gear in addition to 1.5-liters of water. An ultralight pack has a removable sternum strap so you can tackle any level of hike and feel like the bag is moving with you, not against you. It folds up to comfortably fit in a suitcase, and when you flip it inside out, it works as an insulated reservoir sleeve, so that you can use it in a larger pack as well. Pick one up today for just $48.
— Meg Lappe

Now Is the Best Time to Get a Discounted Down Jacket
Save More Than 50%: The end of August is no time for speculations on the changing of the seasons. It’s easy to declare summer’s end, but given recent trends, it may not be true — chances are the warm weather will continue for another month before fall begins to show its face. Cold weather will come though, and despite reluctance to admit to that, it can’t hurt to think ahead.

That’s especially true now, given Backcountry’s current sale on insulating jackets. The outdoor retailer has been running deep discounts on all types of gear and apparel through August, but for this weekend only it’s offering an additional 20 percent off insulation in particular. Given that the down jacket — or synthetic down jacket — is the keystone of lightweight winter warmth, (and that they’re usually pretty pricey), it’s a smart time to consider the winds and flurries yet to come. The extra discount brings quality pieces like Patagonia’s Nano-Air down from $299 to $144, or Black Diamond’s First Light from $229 to $119. — Tanner Bowden

Bose QC30 Noise-Canceling Earphones
Save $50: Whether you prefer in-ear or over-ear noise-canceling headphones, Bose arguably makes the best models of both. Its QC35 IIs are the most comfortable over-ear models that I’ve ever tried. And it’s QC30s are definitely the best in-ear ANC headphones you can buy. Now, Amazon is selling both Bose headphones at $50 off. The QC35 IIs cost $299, down from their normal $349. And the QC30s cost $249, down from their normal $299.

The Best Deals of the Day: August 23, 2018

Montage Towels
Save 15%: Drying off with a sopping wet towel is not how anyone should start their morning. Made from 100 percent long-stapled cotton, Montage bath towels are woven with a curved weave, meaning they’re lightweight, breathable and dry more quickly than the average bath towel. This not only results in a better overall feel, one that’s both soft and absorbent, it reduces the chances that your daily towel grows mold or microscopic bacteria. Unless, of course, you like that sort of thing.

Use discount code GP15 for 15% off your entire Montage order.
— Gear Patrol Studios

Now on Sale: Non-essential Gear That Makes Camping More Fun
Save up to 25%: It’s the non-essential gear that makes camping enjoyable — things like hatchets and lanterns and hammocks. Right now, these things are on sale for up to 25 percent off at Huckberry. — Tanner Bowden

Junghans Max Bill Mechanical Watch
Save $160: The Junghans Max Bill is a delightful timepiece that refuses to change. The watch’s Bauhaus aesthetic has barely evolved since its legendary Swiss designer Max Bill first penned the dial design in the 1950s. This model here is powered by a Swiss-made ETA 2801-2 hand-winding movement that’s packed up in a sleek, 34mm case. Yes, that’s fairly small, but it’s in line with the watch sizes of the era in which the Junghans was originally designed (the thin bezel and large dial also make it wear a bit larger than it really is, too). The Max Bill also happens to be very affordably priced, with an MSRP of $690, but you can get it even cheaper from Massdrop right now for just $530. — Oren Hartov

Aether End of Season Sale
Save up to 60%: Aether rarely has sales, whether its lifestyle clothing and accessories or motorcycle gear. So when select items across the site are on sale up to 60% off, it naturally demands attention. — Bryan Campbell

DeLonghi Nespresso Maker
Save 50%>The beauty of Nespresso machines is not the quality of the final product. Frankly, most machines make espressos that are virtually indistinguishable from one another. If you’ve never used one, they’re basically espresso versions of Keurig machines — easy, efficient producers of OK-tasting beverages. Hence why this deal on DeLonghi’s slightly sturdier, less plasticky Nespresso maker is worth pulling the trigger on. Though most of the items in its product description (the ones in caps) are either inconsequential or dubious (“Barista Grade”…), it does hold a lot more water than most, and is operated with a single button. — Will Price

Kershaw Scallion Pocket Knife
Save up to 69%: What makes a good everyday knife? Small blades have proven time and again that it isn’t always size. Kershaw’s Scallion is a testament to this idea. Created as a little brother to the company’s ever-classic Leek, the Scallion is a pocketable flipper with a 2.25-inch drop-point blade. The Scallion is built with the Ken Onion-designed SpeedSafe system, an assisted opening mechanism that helps the blade pop out rapidly but that doesn’t fall under the classification of a switchblade. Inside, the Scallion has a liner lock to keep its blade safely in place, and there’s a sliding Tip-Lock for additional assurance when the knife is closed.

Kershaw has dressed up the Scallion in various colors and with different handles over the years, and right now a handful of these different styles are on sale at Amazon for as much as 69% off. — Tanner Bowden

The Best Deals of the Day: August 22, 2018

Herschel Backpacks on Sale
Save 25% With kids all over the country going back to school, there’s no shortage of parents and other caretakers looking for great deals on solid backpacks. And our friends at Nordstrom aren’t disappointing: right now, they’re offering a number of options from Herschel Supply Co. at 25 percent off. It’s a solid deal on a set of backpacks that are perfect for the semester ahead — and the years beyond.— Justin Fenner

Frye Will Lace-Up and Rainer Chelsea Boots
Save 49%: More often than not, when you hear ‘Italian leather’ the assumption is it’s too delicate to be worn or used every day. To prove that stigma completely wrong are the Will Lace-Up and Rainer Chelsea boots by Frye — two opposite style boots, both with timeless style and the same deal of 49% off. — Bryan Campbell

Adidas, Asics and Brooks Running Sneakers on Sale
Save 50% With fall racing season right around the corner, now is a good time to start thinking about a new pair of shoes. Whether you’ve run all summer and need to up your mileage, or you’re looking for a fresh dose of motivation, new kicks are always a good idea. Right now, JackRabbit is offering up to 50 percent off on a variety of running sneakers from Adidas, Altra, Asics, Brooks, Nike and more. Plus, if you have a favorite style, it’s worth checking out the sale to see if you can stock up on the glass slipper. Here are a few top-notch running shoes to check out — whether you’re training for a marathon or a 5K. — Meg Lappe

Edgecraft Trizor Electric Knife Sharpener
Save $120: The knife is perhaps the most essential tool for any chef, novice or expert. It’s no good if it’s not sharp though (actually, a dull knife can become dangerous in the kitchen). Having a trustworthy sharpener on-hand quickly becomes crucial. Edgecraft’s Trizor Electric Knife Sharpener is pro-grade, and uses a three-phase, spring-controlled system that works on both plain and serrated edges of any thickness and can bring the standard 20-degree edge down to a finer (read: sharper) 15-degree cutting plane.

It doesn’t matter what your cooking tastes like, if you’re serious about the process, you need a sharp knife, period. Right now Edgecraft’s sharpener is $120 (that’s 57 percent) less than its regular full price. — Tanner Bowden

Rancourt & Co. Sneakers
Save up to 30%: Rancourt & Co. is an American shoe company, keeping the dream of Maine-made footwear alive with its operations in Lewiston, Maine. While the brand is probably best known for its boots, dress shoes and loafers, the brand dabbles in classy-looking, high-end sneakers. Right now you can get a few pairs up to 30 percent off at Huckberry, including pairs made from canvas, as well as Chromexcel leather uppers. — Andrew Connor

Nisolo Handmade Boots and Shoes
Save up to 80%: With mega factories cranking out shoes one after another, the artisan shoemaker has all but vanished. Those that are left are a special and skilled group of individuals, and the footwear they craft is unique and often expensive. In celebration of Summer’s end, Nisolo, a footwear brand that works with an accomplished group of shoemakers based in Peru’s third-largest city, Trujillo, is offering up a selection of its handmade footwear for up to 80 percent off. The brand’s Chelsea boots, loafers and even sneakers — all made by hand — have never been more affordable.

Use the code BONUS20 at checkout for the full discount. — Tanner Bowden

Roomba Vacuums
Save Up to 25%>Roomba has dominated the robot vacuum market so thoroughly it’s become a generic trademark. Ask a group of people what the best robo-vacuum is and they’d probably scratch their heads, but they almost certainly know what a Roomba is. This all said, iRobot’s (the company that makes Roombas) prized floor cleaner does not come cheap. Luckily, three of its models — the budget-conscious 690, the multi-floor cleaning 960 and the all-powerful 980 — are discounted up to 25 percent off today. — Will Price

Bodum Cold Brew Coffee System
Save 83%>As we’ve harped on before, making cold brew coffee is remarkably forgiving, easy and cheap. The process, abridged: add water to coffee grounds (freshly ground and roasted, preferably), allow mixture to rest at room temperature for 12 to 24 hours, filter grounds and put concentrate in fridge (it’s good up to two weeks).

This all said, having a dedicated spot to make your cold brew is ideal, and you won’t find a better or cheaper option than Bodum’s 1.5-liter cold brew press, which is more than 80 percent off right now. It holds enough cold brew concentrate (you should dilute the concentrate with milk or water before drinking) to last you a week to a week and a half, depending on rate of consumption, and you don’t have to worry about replacing or cleaning filters like you would with most popular cold brew systems. The only difference in the brew process for Bodum’s cold brew press and typical cold brew is pressing the plunger down once the proper amount of time has elapsed.

The Bodum Bean Cold Brew Coffee Maker, which retails for $58, is just $10 right now. — Will Price

Nemo Equipment on Sale
Save 25% There’s not much better than waking up in the outdoors, unzipping your tent window and stepping outside to enjoy the sunrise. Getting outdoors can be a welcome respite from your day to day grind — as long as you have the right gear to enjoy it properly. Nemo Equipment makes lightweight and easy-to-pack backpacking gear that’s great for all camping levels. Whether it’s your third time in the woods, or hundredth, these tents, sleeping bags and pillows are worth adding to everyone’s camping kit. — Meg Lappe

Everything You Ever Wanted from The North Face Is on Sale
Save up to 40%: The North Face is celebrating Labor Day early this year with a massive sale on casual and technical apparel. Save up to 40 percent. — Tanner Bowden

Lightweight Boots from Grenson x Todd Snyder
Save 67 percent Grenson’s well-made, long-lasting boots are worth paying full price for, so it’s kinda hard not to get excited when they go on sale. This pair, made in collaboration with Todd Snyder, is marked down to just $199 from their original price of $620. — Justin Fenner

Old Skool, New Price
Save 50 percent The great thing about a lot of sneakers from Vans is that they’re affordable at full price. Case in point: the Old Skool usually goes for around $60. But right now you can get a pair for just $30 if you head over to Urban Outfitters’ website. The retailer is offering a selection of men’s clothes and shoes for 50 percent off at checkout, including three brightly colored pairs of Old Skools.— Justin Fenner

Slim Card Cases on Sale
Save 20% or More Considering how little paper most guys actually need to have on them these days, it makes sense that a card case has become the something of a new standard for the EDC. And right now at East Dane, there are a handful of them on sale, from brands like Hugo Boss, Tumi, Shinola and more. — Justin Fenner

Apple 13-Inch MacBook Pro with Touch Bar (mid-2017)
Save $400:If you’re looking for a MacBook Pro with Touch Bar, there are several models to choose from. You can still find some late-2016 models floating around sites like Amazon and eBay, but Apple doesn’t sell those anymore; that’s because, in summer 2017, Apple released upgraded models with newer Kaby Lake chipsets, newer graphics cards and faster SSD storage. Then there are the new MacBook Pros (w/ Touch Bar) ever in July 2018, which are super powerful and significantly more expensive. For most people, the “mid-2017” models with Touch Bar will be more sufficient, right now you can get a really good deal on one: B&H is selling a 13-inch MacBook Pro with Touch Bar (mid-2017) for $1,399, which is $400 off its normal price.

ELAC Debut 2.0 B5.2 Bookshelf Speakers
Save $50: For anybody building out a home vinyl setup or home theater system, and they’re on a budget, they’re going to want a solid pair of entry-level bookshelf speakers. Enter the ELAC Debut 2.0 B5.2 bookshelf speakers. They sound accurate, with smooth and crisp highs, yet they still have punchy bass, thanks to each speaker’s 1-inch silk dome tweeter and 5.25-inch aramid-fiber woofer; Crutchfield says they’re “both easy on the wallet and a pleasure to listen to.” The speakers normally go for $250, but Amazon slashed $50 off of that today — it’s the lowest price that we’ve seen on these particular speakers.

J.Crew’s Flash Sale
Save 25% With just a hint of a reprieve from summer’s sweltering heat and humidity in the air today, we here at GPHQ are thinking about what we’re going to wear this fall. And the good people at J.Crew must be thinking about the season ahead, too. Today and tomorrow, they’re offering a flash sale on select new arrivals for fall that will let shoppers take 25 percent off their latest styles.— Justin Fenner

Buy Now, Wear Later
Save 25% on fall staples from Levi’s Fall is right around the corner, and with a new season’s weather comes the need for different clothes. Which is why we’re so grateful for Levi’s current 25 percent off deal on fall essentials, like the brand’s jeans, long-sleeved shirts, and some jackets. Just be sure to add the code FALL25 when you checkout.— Justin Fenner

Bulova Lunar Pilot Chronograph
Save $30:Plenty of watches that aren’t the Omega Speedy have been worn into space — we’ve even written a cool roundup of our favorites. And one of the coolest space watches of all was the Bulova chronograph that served as a backup when Dave Scott’s NASA-issued Speedy broke during the Apollo 15 mission in 1971. The Bulova kept perfect time throughout that mission and lived on to fetch over $1.6 million at auction in 2015. The brand’s Accutron technology, memorialized in one of my favorite Mad Men scenes of all time, was also used in the instrument panels of spacecraft flown through the 1960s and 70s. Needless to say, the Accutron tech has proved its worth.

This iteration of the watch is sold straight from Bulova for $650, with the steel bracelet option going for $695, making the $295 Amazon price tag a truly over-the-moon value. — Andy Frakes

Winter Jacket, Summer Price
Save 50% Winter, as the kids say, is coming. And strangely enough, one of the best times to buy a winter-weight jacket is right at the tail end of summer. Right now, Uniqlo is discounting its amazing Ultra Light Down parka to $39.90 from an original price of $79.90 — that’s savings of 50 percent. The jackets are warm, lightweight and packable, making them easy to stow away until you’re actually ready to wear them. But act fast. A deal like this won’t last long.— Justin Fenner

Mühle Glashütte Terrasport IV GMT Automatic Watch
Save 42%: Mühle Glashütte makes some badass watches for badass professionals, like the German Navy Sea Battalion — their timepieces are all business, and combine military and tool watch-inspired ruggedness with sleek German design. Their Terrasport IV GMT is a 42mm watch that utilizes the Swiss Sellita SW330-1 automatic GMT movement and an uncluttered black dial to allow you to track a second time zone, and right now on Massdrop you can nab one for $1400, a full $1000 off the MSRP of $2400. Hurry, though — there are only 12 of these available at this price. — Andy Frakes

Design Within Reach Living Room Sale
Save 15%>Design Within Reach has as much in common with a museum as it does a furniture outlet, its collection of game-changing home goods is that tightly curated. So when it carves 15 percent off the asking price for more than 200 bonafide classics, as has happened with DWR’s Living Room Sale, it’s worth paying attention. It may seem expensive, but this is the furniture design that all contemporary furniture is derived from. Some of our favorites below — the sale runs through the weekend. — Will Price

Patagonia Apparel and Equipment
Save 30%: August has turned out to be the month of the Patagonia sale. Not only has the brand itself launched discounts on a massive selection of apparel and equipment, but online retailers including Backcountry and Mountain Steels have also marked down their collections of gear from the California company. Huckberry is the latest to join that list, offering items like the classic Baggies shorts to the travel-ready Black Hole backpack for 30 percent off. — Tanner Bowden
|

Lodge Cast-Iron Skillet
Save 45%>Lodge’s American-made cast-iron cookware is reliable, plenty effective and, best of all, incredibly affordable. Its been turning out skillets, fryers, dutch ovens and grill pans from its South Pittsburg, Tennessee factory for more than 120 years, and it’s the defacto entry-level cast iron. The 8-inch skillet is sized perfectly for the bachelor (cooking for one), and fits a large steak, plenty of fried eggs or a decent helping of cornbread. It’s also lighter (just over 3 pounds), takes up less cabinet space and is almost half off right now. Just saying. — Will Price

Burton Family Tree Cheetah Snowboard
Save $200+: Burton makes some of the top-performing snowboards out there. Athletes like Kimmy Fasani, Shaun White and Chloe Kim are just a few names on the roster. The Burton Family Tree Cheetah Snowboard is part of the experimental line that it creates for its professional athletes, that are also available to the public. Today, you can pick up one of the most coveted snowboards of 2018 for $200 off. Thanks to Paragon’s summer sale, the Cheetah board is down from $750 to just $525. — Meg Lappe

Vortix Eye Massager V2.0
Screens are unavoidable these days — you’re even reading this off a screen right now. With the constant strain on your eyes, it’s become increasingly important to give your eyes rest. If you suffer from headaches and irritated eyes, a wearable eye pillow might be the solution you’re looking for.

The Vortix Eye Massager v2.0 uses a gentle air pressure system combined with heated massaging technology to relax the ciliary muscles of the eyes and soothe fatigue with a therapeutic experience. Designed by a team of software and hardware engineers who certainly know the effects of screen usage, the device also addresses insomnia, dry eyes and sinus pressure. With added benefits like playing relaxing nature sounds during use and being foldable for travel, this eye massager has your peepers in mind.

Use the code GP30 for 30 percent off the Vortix Eye Massager v2.0.

450+ Outerknown Basics
Save Up to 60%>A quick glance over Outerknown’s wares and its values are pretty apparent — unfussy, sustainably-made clothes that are easy to fit into your wardrobe. They also happen to be reasonably affordable — which is why when they go on sale, the moment is to be seized. Going on right now, Outerknown’s Sunset Sale has t-shirts, sweaters, button downs, pants, shorts and plenty in-between discounted up to 60 percent (I found a few items up to 70 percent, too, like this denim shirt). Mainline colors and sizes are mostly still in stock as of publishing. — Will Price

Arc’teryx Beta LT Jacket
Save 30%: The Beta LT sets the bar for all other technical wet-weather shells, and at a list price of $525, one would certainly hope so. But there are loads of expensive jackets out there, many of them featuring Gore-Tex fabrics and sophisticated construction.

So why choose this one? The fit, for one, is a cut above the competition; a slightly-extended rear hem fits comfortably under a climbing harness, the hood is cut with enough room to wrap over a skiing or climbing helmet and the trim fit through the body keeps the all-important interior layers closer to your skin. All these elements come together to help make the best use of the carefully-chosen fabrics and sealed seam placements.

All in all, you’re getting a Gore-Tex Pro shell with the great styling and attention to detail that Arc’teryx is known for, making for an outer layer that can keep you dry and comfortable season after season. Best of all, today you can knock $157 off the list price — making one of the best rain jackets available just within reach. — Andy Frakes

Simplehuman 38-Liter Trash Bin
Save $30: We’ve tried to tell you before about the virtues of Simplehuman’s sleek and sturdy garbage bins — and how when they go on sale, the value jumps from “good” to “excellent.”

So why pay upwards of $100 for a place to put your trash? It might be hard to believe, but Simplehuman’s bins actually are that much better than the average plastic or steel bin you might already have in your kitchen. These over-engineered bins are practically a home-improvement investment, because you’re unlikely to ever need a new one. The lid-lift pedals on every Simplehuman model are built to withstand 150,000+ actuations, the soft-close lids are damn near airtight (odors in, bugs and curious pets out), and every unit comes with a 10-year warranty. Take more than 20% off the list price, and pick up one of these today — you won’t be sorry. — Andy Frakes

Bonobos Clothing
Save an Extra 40% Off: All around the country, campuses are gearing up for classes and office workers are squeezing in pre-Labor Day getaways. As summer comes to an end, take a moment to spruce up your current wardrobe. It doesn’t have to be a paycheck-draining endeavor, and if you shop at Bonobos, you can save an extra 40 percent on already reduced merchandise. Just use the code DOPE at checkout to take advantage of the substantial discount on trousers, shirts, suits and more. Check out a few of our favorite garments below — they’re available in practically every size. — John Zientek

Adventure Medical Kits Sportsman Series
Save 20%: Packing for a trip, especially one out into the wilderness, can be stressful. There’s almost always something that doesn’t end up in the bag — those bars you’d been saving, that extra layer, sunglasses. Sometimes a first aid kit doesn’t even make the list in the first place though, and that’s an oversight.

Adventure Medical Kits makes a collection of pre-arranged packable kits geared to specific uses. Like the Whitetail, which is currently 20 percent off, and is designed for hunting and fishing trips. It weighs under a pound and includes bandages, wound care essentials, blister and burn care items, a CPR face shield, common medications, and essential tools like shears and tape. It’s the type of thing you can put in your bag and leave it there, so there’s never a chance of forgetting it at home.

The Bighorn Kit, which is designed for larger groups, is also available at a discount for Prime members — just apply the coupon using the button near the price listing. — Tanner Bowden

The Perfect Early Fall Jacket
Save 50% We get that in a lot of different parts of the country, it’s still too hot to even think about wearing a jacket. But winter, as they say, is coming, and before it gets here, temperatures are going to cool off enough to warrant a lightweight layer. To get ready for that inevitability, we propose Todd Snyder’s excellent take on the classic four-pocket jacket.— Justin Fenner

Moleskine Travel Notebooks
Save Over 30%: Moleskine makes some of the most popular travel notebooks on the planet. Despite one of my former colleagues going a bit overboard — calling the notebooks “a Starbucks trope” — I love them and always seem to have one in my bag. They’re simple, bespoke and just plain-old useful. If you’re in the same boat on this as me, you should also know that Amazon slashed the prices of these notebooks today. — Tucker Bowe

Bodum 3-Cup French Press
Save 33%>There are many coffee brewing styles, all with very different difficult levels and technique requirements. You could teach yourself proper pour-over technique or the finer points of making a cup in an Aeropress, or you could use a French press. The best part? French presses are nearly always cheaper than every other brew method — especially today.

Bodum’s presses are lauded for their simple, straightforward and cheap approach to pressing coffee through a mesh filter, and its most affordable option is marked down to a whopping $10 on Wayfair right now. This 3-cup press is dishwasher-safe, hard to break and, naturally, doesn’t require the stocking and re-stocking of paper filters. — Will Price

— Justin Fenner

Bose QC30 Noise-Canceling In-Ear Headphones
Save $50:
Whether you prefer in-ear or over-ear noise-canceling headphones, Bose arguably makes the best models of both. Its QC35 IIs are the most comfortable over-ear models that I’ve ever tried. And it’s QC30s are definitely the best in-ear ANC headphones you can buy. Now, Amazon is selling both Bose headphones at $50 off. The QC35 IIs cost $299, down from their normal $349. And the QC30s cost $249, down from their normal $299.

Adidas, Nike, Reebok and More EBay Sale
Save 70%: There’s never a time like the present to stock up on workout gear. There’s a massive sale on eBay with brand new Adidas, Nike, Reebok and Under Armour all for 70 percent off. Pick up a new pair of sweats, gym shorts or a long sleeve tech tee, and you’ll be all set for the next season of fitness.

There’s really no reason for why you wouldn’t go all in. Here are a few items we found to help you get started. — Meg Lappe

Alpina Alpiner Automatic
Save 65%: Alpina is a Swiss watch brand with a penchant for making accessibly priced, vintage style tool watches, but a campaign on Massdrop has one of the brand’s most basic watches, the Alpiner Automatic, at a massive discount: about 65 percent off. So, for just $500, you can get a well-rounded watch that features an automatic movement (basically a Sellita SW200), a handsome dial and a stainless steel bracelet. If you’ve been looking for a simple, reasonably-priced piece to dip your toes into mechanical watches, you can’t do much better than this. — Andrew Connor

Lawn Mowers, Hedge Trimmers and Leaf Blowers
Save Up to 80%>For those of us lucky enough to have a yard, today’s eBay sale is for you.

Markdowns up to 80 percent off established, trusted yardwork brands like Husqvarna, Dewalt and Makita are all over the place (as are the “Almost gone!” stickers). Take an 18-volt cordless chainsaw for $480 cheaper than retail, or a manual push mower for more than 80 percent off. Save an additional 15 percent on any one item with code POPULAR at checkout. — Will Price

Lodge Square 10.5-Inch Skillet
Save 58%>Lodge’s cast-iron skillets are the benchmark for American-made cookware that’s affordable and doesn’t completely suck, and one of its best products is half-off today.

The 10-and-a-half-inch squared cast-iron skillet isn’t as iconic as the traditional circle, but it’s every bit as functional — particularly at cooking more pieces of bacon and pork belly. There’s one key difference to keep in mind with the squared version — season it upside down. All bare cast iron needs to be regularly seasoned, of course, but the squared version has corners, corners that act as little hangout spots for oil to coagulate and pool — resulting in uneven, ugly and ineffectual seasoning.

Apart from that, the only thing you need to know about this skillet is that it usually sells for twice the price it is today. — Will Price

The Best Deals of the Day: August 13, 2018

Grid Wallet
Ever see the Seinfeld episode where George’s behemoth bi-fold wallet is so overstuffed it hurts his back? The wallet ultimately explodes, throwing his receipts all over the streets of Manhattan in typical George Costanza fashion. The latest minimalist wallet from GRID Wallet is essentially the exact opposite of George’s, which is a wonderful thing.

Forged from carbon fiber, its machined plates also offer RFID theft protection for the 12 cards it can house. It also features a money clip on the outside for cash and a thumb slot for straightforward removal of any card you need in a snap. As is always good advice in life, don’t be like George Costanza.

The 6mm thin GRID Wallet Forged Carbon is currently available for pre-order at a special price of $75, with shipping scheduled for August 25th.

AGV AX-8 DS EVO Grunge Helmet
Save $180: Showing off the fact a motorcycle helmet is made from carbon fiber with a clear coat of paint is nothing new. It’s a state of the art material, lightweight and generally expensive — it makes sense people would want to brag about it. Where the AGV AX-8 DS EVO Grunge Helmet is it’s made from a carbon, Kevlar and fiberglass composite, which sports tones of red,yellow and a purple hue. It’s not as glamorous as carbon fiber, but then again, it does channel ’90s grunge, so why would it be?— Bryan Campbell

Allen Edmonds Clearance Sale
Save Up to 50% Whether you pound the pavement in them every day or only have to suit up once in a while, a great pair of dress shoes is a worthy investment — and one that every man should make. And right now, Allen Edmonds is offering an additional 20 percent off a selection of footwear that’s already discounted.— Justin Fenner

J.Crew’s Back to Campus Sale
Take 30% off new products Even if you’re not going back to school this fall, you can still take advantage of the annual retail holiday’s deals. Case in point: Right now, our friends at J.Crew are offering 30 percent off a wide variety of their full-priced wares, including recently released products. Whatever you add to your cart, be sure to enter the code FRESHSTART at checkout to make sure you get this deal.— Justin Fenner

This Bundle Includes My Favorite New Wallet
Save 21%: There’s something about a wallet that makes us hang onto it. It can be overly drawn-out — sometimes we outgrow our billfolds (there is a point when Velcro doesn’t pass), and sometimes we outlive them (excessive rips and tears don’t count as patina).

I recently came up against a point of transition with my wallet. It was a leather bifold that I’ve carried since high school (I bought it from Brooks Brothers using store credit earned after exchanging some less-flattering sweaters given to me by my grandmother), and it was well-worn but still in good shape. My issue with it was that it had become cumbersome, and removing even a single business card would throw the tension of its sleeves out of whack, causing the rest of the contents to fall out too. It was time to start over.

If I was going to abandon my old standby along with the shine, flexibility and soft feel earned over years of use, I was going to do two things — one, buy a worthy replacement made with quality materials and two, slim it down. It forced me to reevaluate all the random mementos I uselessly carried every day: stickers, membership cards, receipts. I was reluctant to approach this task, so I decided to pick the wallet first and let its capacity dictate what to keep and what to go without.

I landed on Bellroy’s Slim Sleeve wallet. I’ll spoil the end of the story by admitting that I’m obsessed with the damn thing and wish that I had discovered it years ago. It’s nearly a third of the size of my old wallet and easily holds everything (license, credit cards, Metrocard) that I use frequently, and still some that I don’t. I don’t have to fight my jeans to remove it from a pocket, and no chiropractor will diagnose any future back issues I may encounter as a result of it being on my person. I’m confident that when mine wears out, I’ll pick up another.

If your wallet is tattered, or just too large, give the Slim Sleeve your consideration. It’s currently on sale at Huckberry in a bundle with an equally-slim key organizer for 21 percent off. — Tanner Bowden

Definitive Technology Sound Bar
Save 40%:Definitive Technology’s W Studio Micro is a terrific soundbar-and-subwoofer combo. It works with virtually any TV out there. It sounds great, featuring three 1-inch aluminum dome tweeters and four 1- by 3-inch mid-range drivers. And its wireless subwoofer adds the extra bass you’d want while watching a Christopher McQuarrie flick. All told, you’re getting the kind of sound you’d expect from high-end speakers in a package that’s compact enough to virtually disappear beneath your TV.

Usually sold for $899, the W Studio Micro is currently backordered on Definitive Technology’s website, but you can find the 3.1 system on Amazon for just $499. If you’re in the market for a great home theater system, this one is on the cheap. — Andy Frakes

Bose QuietComfort 35 II Noise-Canceling Headphones
Save $50: The Bose QuietComfort 35 IIs are some of the best wireless, noise-canceling headphones you can buy. If you’d like to learn more about them, you can read our review — here – but there’s a good chance that you already know all about them. If that’s the case, here’s a tidbit that you didn’t know: you can buy the QC35 IIs on Amazon, in black or silver models, for $299 — that’s $50 off the regular $349 MSRP.

Anker Quick Charge 3.0 Dual USB Wall Charger
Save 74%: Amazon just drastically dropped the price of one of my favorite gadgets: Anker’s little dual-port wall charger. Normally $70, it’s now just $18. I have one of these in my apartment and it’s just super convenient – it allows me to charge my iPhone and iPad (or Nintendo Switch) at the same time, and I don’t waste an outlet on a second wall adapter. If you have multiple devices and find that you also have to decide which of the two you’d rather have charged, this wall adapter simply eliminates that dilemma. Plus it supports Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 technology, so it’s going to charge your smaller devices (smartphone, tablet, etc.) as fast as possible.

Vault by Vans Italian Leather Sneakers
Save 50%: Vault by Vans takes your favorite styles from the brand and reimagines them with premium materials and unique collaborations. Recently, the sub-brand gave the Old Skool and Sk8-Hi sneakers an upgrade with Italian leather uppers in a range of colors. The silhouettes are the same and the iconic waffle soles are the same, but the canvas upper is swapped for a more luxurious component. Now at Need Supply, you can save 50 percent on this limited-edition release. The classic styles are a serious upgrade to their canvas counterparts and cost just over $60, putting them just at, or under, the price of their canvas counterparts. — John Zientek

Benchmade Mini Griptilian Pocket Knife
Save 20%: You’ve probably come into contact with Benchmade’s Griptilian before, even if you haven’t been aware of it. Benchmade is easily one of the best-respected knife manufacturers in operation, and its simple drop-point folder is one of its most established blades. Originally designed by custom maker Mel Pardue, the Griptilian has since expanded into a family of practical pocket knives that can be configured with various blade shapes, finishes, types of steels, handle materials and colors.

The Mini Griptilian is the more pocket-friendly version of Pardue and Benchmade’s classic. It’s modified drop-point blade features two thumb studs for assisted opening and is just under three inches in length. It features Benchmade’s AXIS locking mechanism and a pocket clip that can be realigned for left or right carry. It’s a slightly smaller version that stands up to the reputation of the original, and it’s currently on sale for 20 percent off at Backcountry — use the code CAMPCLIMB20 at checkout. — Tanner Bowden

S’well Water Bottle Sale
Save 20%: S’well makes some of the most beautifully designed water bottles in the marketplace. A high grade 18/8 stainless steel exterior is decorated in a variety of styles sure to please every single person in your family — and convince them to stop using plastic water bottles. The triple insulated ThermaSwell insulation keeps water cold for up to 24 hours and coffee hot for up to 12 hours, all without breaking a sweat. Just in time for a September refresh (or back to school if the kids are gearing up for that), 13 different patterns and styles are on sale for 20 percent off. Pick up a 17-ounce bottle for just $28 in a cool marble, marine blue or a woodgrain contrast with a solid blue color. It’s the perfect time to upgrade to one of these top-performing water bottles. — Meg Lappe

J Brand Jeans
Save up to 55%: Temperatures in Death Valley are the hottest ever recorded on Earth, and other parts of the country aren’t faring much better. With temperatures like these, cool weather clothing is probably the last thing on your mind, but the extreme weather will take a turn the other direction in coming months. To prepare for a drop into cooler weather, invest in a versatile fall staple like denim. If you’re in need of a new pair of jeans, you can save up to 55 percent on American-made jeans from J Brand at East Dane. Available in a range of sizes and both black and blue colorways, they’re a smart addition to any wardrobe and won’t break the bank at $89. — John Zientek

J. Crew Factory Clearance Sale
Save Up to 80%>There are clothing outlets that retail products at reasonable price points up front, there are clothing outlets that you should almost certainly wait for a sale on and there are clothing outlets like J. Crew Factory, at which you should wait for a sale piled on top of another sale. Today, one of these double sales is here — using code PARTY in the promo code box at checkout slices an extra 60 percent off anything on the site’s clearance page. As of posting, loads of t-shirts, button downs, swim trunks and much more are still available in most colors and sizes. — Will Price

The Best Deals of the Week: August 7-10

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.

Grayers Eastvale 3 Button Blazer
Save 21%: An unstructured cotton blazer is one of the more versatile garments for a business casual wardrobe. The relaxed silhouette and easy-wearing fabric give it everyday appeal that more formal options lack. Grayers makes a great example cut from pin dot cotton featuring a classic three-button design and informal patch pockets. Now at Huckberry, the Eastvale blazer is available in sizes S through XL and costs just $139 — that’s 21 percent off MSRP. — John Zientek

Hamilton Khaki Field Automatic
Save 15%: Hamilton watches are a great way to get into mechanical timekeeping, its Khaki Field watches especially. They feature authentic vintage style and quality mechanical movements from ETA well under the $1,000 mark. The Field Khaki Automatic is an especially lovely option: it comes in a handsome 42mm case, features (in this iteration) a slate blue dial and boasts automatic winding. Best of all you can get it at a 15 percent discount at Nordstrom, right now. That might not seem like a lot, but that’s over $100 off MSRP. — Andrew Connor

Levi’s Made and Crafted Jeans
Save 50%: Is your go-to pair of jeans on its last legs? If you’re looking to pick up some new denim, it’s worth checking out the offerings from Levi’s Made and Crafted. The sub-brand combines high-quality fabrics with refined silhouettes, Japanese denim and tapered slim-fit styles. Now at Nordstrom, you can save 50 percent on three jeans from the brand. Available in a range of washes, these jeans are a step-up from your traditional Levi’s and are now nearly the same price-point. — John Zientek

Cheap Patio Furniture
Save Up to 75%>Is it possible to vouch for the quality of this super affordable patio furniture? No, not really. Is (up to) 75 percent off that already-affordable patio furniture a really nice thing to take advantage of? Probably, yes.

Going on now and until Wednesday, Houzz has screens upon screens of outdoor furniture on deep discount. Fake wood, wood, aluminum, fake aluminum, wicker and more, if you need to trick out your backyard for the fall, this isn’t a bad time to do it. Checkout out a few solid pickups below, and check out similar deals on rugs to go under a new dining area and umbrellas to shade it. — Will Price

TCL 32-Inch Roku TV (2017)
Save $70: This little Roku TV won’t blow you away with specs. It’s 32-inches, which is tiny. And it lacks 4K resolution, only producing a 720p picture. However, if you’re looking to connect your old cable box or retro gaming console, this is a fine TV to consider. It has several HDMI ports, which is rare for a TV so small, and Wirecutter named it as the best LCD/LED TV for small rooms. Normally $200, you can get this TCL smart TV for $130 on Amazon today. That’s 35-percent off.

Sony WH-1000XM2 Wireless Noise-Canceling Headphones
Save $52: When they launched in September, the Sony WH-1000XM2 headphones replaced the popular MDR-1000X in Sony’s wireless noise-canceling lineup. They look almost identical but the WH-1000XM2s boast a slightly grippier texture and come with a few extra features, including Sony’s Quick Attention — it allows users to lower the volume of music by putting their hand over the right earcup. Though the WH-1000XM2 headphones normally retail for $350, they’re currently 15% off on Amazon for a $52 discount.

Tom Ford Sunglasses
Save up to 75%: Tom Ford makes some of the most tasteful luxury clothing and accessories available. As you’d expect with a reputation like that, the price point on everything from shirts to sweaters to suits is sky high. Unsurprisingly, the brand’s sunglasses are something of a cult favorite with elegant curves and distinctive hinge detailing. And now at Nordstrom Rack, you can save up to 75 percent on a few different Italian-made styles. Normally over $400, these frames don’t cost more than a pair of traditional Ray-Bans while supplies last. — John Zientek

Duxtop Induction Cooktop
Save 50%>This well-reviewed Duxtop model, which is half off its usual price today, is the savior of your dorm, apartment or otherwise tiny living space that doesn’t have a range or stove. What does induction mean? Plug it into the wall, set a temperature (100 to 460 degrees) and cook. It’s all of 14 inches wide and 11 inches deep.

Induction cooktops, for the uninitiated, operate via electrifying a coil inside the device, which in turn generates a magnetic field. The cooktop does not provide heat on its own — only when you place a pan (stainless steel or cast-iron, copper an aluminum don’t work) on the “burner” is heat generated by way of the magnetic field charging currents through the pan. What does that actually mean? The pan can heat and change temperature very quickly, per your input on the cooktop. Induction cooktops will bring water to a boil faster, be ready to sear faster and anything else that relies on the heating of a pan in cooking.

The Duxtop induction cooktop is marked down from $150 to $75 for today only. — Will Price

This Sale Is Your Chance to Snag a Weird Pocket Knife
Save up to 45%: Massdrop is currently offering a small collection of unconventional and slightly weird pocket knives for up to 45 percent off. — Tanner Bowden

Heimplanet Transit Bags
Heimplanet first made its mark in 2011 when it launched The Cave, an inflatable tent based on the crystalline structure of a diamond. The brand’s latest endeavor is born out of the fluidity of life between travel, work and play, aiming to create a line of bags that can transition between all three facets.

The Transit Line is made up of three bags: the Sling Pocket, the Rolltop Messenger and the Travel Pack. The outer shell of each bag is made from ultra-durable DYECO, a sustainable material Heimplanet developed specifically for this line that uses two different dope-dyed yarns intertwined into an irregular ballistic weave. The result is a line of bags focused on organization that doesn’t sacrifice on style and will fit your lifestyle — whether you need a large travel bag for weekend getaways, a rolltop messenger bag for daily carry in the city or a minimalist bag to carry nothing but the essentials.

Pre-order through the Transit Line Kickstarter campaign and get up to 35-percent off.

5 of My Favorite Camping Items, on Sale Now
Save 20%: Backcountry is offering 20 percent off one full-priced item. Here five of my favorite pieces of gear from its vast selection. — Tanner Bowden

Ralph Lauren Wardrobe Staples
Save an Additional 40%: Summer sales may be one of the best opportunities to refresh your wardrobe staples. To ready themselves for shipments of new fall inventory, brands are offloading older merchandise at great prices. One of the best sales right now is at Ralph Lauren where you can save an additional 40 percent on already reduced sale items. That means you can get wardrobe staples like polos, sweaters, jeans and more for surprisingly affordable prices. Check out of a few of our favorites garments below. — John Zientek

LifeStraw Personal Water Filter
Save $10: Essential to campers and hikers, a dependable water filter should really accompany any trip to someplace where potable water might be an issue. The LifeStraw Personal Water Filter — recommended by The New York Times‘ Frugal Traveler, Lucas Peterson — filters up to 1000 liters of contaminated water without chemicals like chlorine or iodine. It also functions without batteries or moving parts. Today, you can score one on Amazon for just $15 — that’s 40 percent off the normal retail price of $25. — Jack Seemer

Timex Watches
Save at least 20%: Timex makes some fantastic timepieces we’d consider to be dirt-cheap to begin with, and now a big selection of its watches are getting even cheaper. For its end of season sale, the brand is offering an extra 20 percent off its clearance items. That covers most things from its simple Weekender and Easy Reader analogs to its chunky digital Iron Man watches. — Andrew Connor

L.L. Bean Packaway Jacket
Save $125: In the wake of So you’ve developed a lust for Patagonia’s Nano Puff jacket; I don’t blame you. A few months ago I wrote my love letter to the puffy coat — how it accompanied me everywhere from the Tetons to the Andes and now lives dutifully by my side in Manhattan, far from any mountains. I recommitted to my vows by buying the anorak pullover version, too.
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 SAVE25 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.
Both the Nano Puff and the Packaway possess a 100% recycled polyester, water-repellent shell cut with two hand pockets and another interior chest pocket. The Packaway has an additional exterior chest pocket as well. Both have drawcord-equipped hems. The jackets are nearly identical. And while love and loyalty keep me true to the Nano Puff, I will admit that the addition of Cross Core insulation does give the Packaway one-up over Patagonia’s jacket.
And the Packaway has another advantage to it as well: it’s only $75 today, which is a full $125 cheaper than the Nano Puff, which costs $199. If you aren’t drawn to one brand over the other, or a specific color, the choice is an easy one to make. — Tanner Bowden

Vintage Turkish Rugs
Save 15%>When Revival Rugs launched it had a single, hopeful goal in mind — to sell exceptional, old-school Turkish rugs at prices that don’t physically repel a normal person. It’s done that and then some, selling a myriad of style and pile rugs to people since opening shop last year. The premise — selling vintage handwoven rugs made with handspun wool for reasonable prices — typically doesn’t allow much room for sales. That’s what makes today’s deals a decent grab.

Thirteen different style, size and pile rugs are 15 percent off right now on Huckberry (five others are already out of stock). — Will Price

Levi’s Short Sleeve Shirts
Save up to 35%: The summer is far from over and some of the hottest days are still ahead. If you’re looking for a new wardrobe addition fit for the sweltering heat, Nordstrom has you covered. Currently you can save up to 35 percent on short sleeve shirts from Levi’s. Available in a few different styles, these indigo shirts will keep you looking good and staying cool through the dog days. — John Zientek

Dyson V7 Car+Boat
Save $50: In the wake of Dyson’s latest and greatest, the V10, a cordless power monster that spells the end of Dyson’s foray into corded uprights, you may wonder what the point of a small handheld is — especially if it lacks a longer stick for day-to-day cleaning.

No matter how you spin it, though, the V7 Car+Boat is an excellent vacuum. It’s lightweight, perfect for quick jobs and well worth the money… just not at full price. Today, Dyson’s selling the V7 for $190. That’s $50 off retail and the lowest price ever for the brand’s most powerful handheld to date. — Jack Seemer

Dainese HF D1 Perforated Leather Jacket
Save Up to $200: It’s hard to tell whether we’re in the middle of a hellishly long heatwave or if this is just how hot summers are going to be from now on. Either way, you’ll still need protection when you go out for a ride and if you’re not a fan of the tactical textile look, leather the next logical option. Except, in this type of heat, leather is torturous unless you’re trying to shed a few pounds of water weight before you get to your point B. There’s a way around looking like you just jumped in a pool of your own sweat and still hold on to some vintage style in the process — perforation. — Bryan Campbell

Soma 6-Cup Water Filter & Carafe
Save 40%:No matter how “good” you think your tap water is, chances are it could be a lot better. And you could buy cases of bottled water, sure, and feel good about recycling all that plastic. But why would you want to schlep heavy cases of H2O up the stairs every week when you’ve got a damn faucet — which literally only exists for giving you water — right in front of you?

In case you haven’t heard of Soma yet, it’s the answer to your tap water woes. The simple water filtration system is ubiquitous in millennial homes everywhere because it’s simple and very good at what it does. And, in at least my opinion, it’s worth every cent of its $50 MSRP. But thanks to a special deal from our friends at Sierra Trading Post, this little beauty drops to $30 (and into your shopping cart) faster than you can say “I’m thirsty.”

That’s 40% off the list price, and at least 40% more clean, taste-free tap water that you can gulp down during this hellish heat wave. — Andy Frakes

Orient Sentinel
Save $220: The Bambino gets all the attention when it comes to Orient’s handsome, accessibly-priced automatics, but the Sentinel is a bit of a sleeper in the lineup. The Sentinel has less of an emphasis on retro style and attempts to blur the line between sporty and dressy, and the result is a watch you can wear for all occasions. Coming in at 40.5mm in diameter and 11.5mm thick, it’s relatively compact for such an accessibly-priced automatic, and with a 50-meter water-resistance rating it won’t mind getting a little wet, either. Right now, Massdrop is offering the watch for $95, both in black and blue dial colors. That’s a massive drop from the watch’s $315 MSRP, though, more realistically, the watch consistently sells elsewhere online for around $130. Still, that makes it a temptingly cheap buy. — Andrew Connor

RX Bar Sale
Save 15%: RX Bars are genuinely some of the tastiest and good-for-you bars around. We’re pretty obsessed with the Nut Butters but will always go back to our roots and house a protein bar. Depending on who you ask, the peanut butter or chocolate sea salt are top picks, but I stockpile the blueberry and mixed berry in my office drawers. No matter your taste preference, each bar has clean and simple ingredients with an easy-to-read label, unlike many other bars we’ve tried. Protein is the focus in each bar, and there’s no gluten, dairy, soy or preservatives. Order a variety pack of 24-bars from Amazon today and save an additional 15 percent on the total price. And you can try all the flavors: chocolate sea salt, blueberry, peanut butter, mixed berry and peanut butter chocolate.

Otterbox iPhone Cases
Save 20%: The celebrate the end of summer and the coming of the new school year, Otterbox is having a 20%-off sale on a number of its rugged smartphone cases. If you have an iPhone X, you can choose from the company’s Symmetry Series, featuring cases with neat graphics and artistic designs. Or if you have an iPhone 8 Plus or 7 Plus, the prices have been slashed on Otterbox’s famed Defender Series (in a variety of colors), too.

Patagonia Lightweight Synchilla Snap-T Pullover
Save $56: Patagonia practically invented the fleece — oh wait, it did invent the fleece, back in 1981 through a collaboration with materials manufacturer Malden Mills, now known as Polartec. That’s 37 years of fleece knowledge and experience, so it makes sense that Patagonia’s Synchilla has become an icon beyond the community of climbers and campers who embraced it in the first place. They favored it for its lightness and its ability to provide warmth, even when wet. These things, along with comfort and a particularly casual outdoorsy style, have helped the fleece establish itself firmly in the mainstream.

Patagonia’s fleece hasn’t’ changed all that much since the original beyond some tweaks for additional durability and increased sourcing of recycled material — it’s as great as it always has been. Right now at Mountain Steals the Lightweight Synchilla Snap-T Pullover can be had for 46% off its typical price, bringing it from $119 down to $63, just in time for the cooler temperatures of fall. — Tanner Bowden

Frye Leather Travel Bags
Save 50%: It’s worth spending a little more on well-made luggage. By paying more upfront, you’ll get a bag that’s designed to be used for decades. But now at Nordstrom Rack, you don’t have to spend quite so much and can get half off on leather travel bags from Frye. The Adam Overnight Leather Bag and Dylan Leather Duffle Bag now cost $300 each and are available in a range of different leathers. While $300 isn’t necessarily inexpensive, it’s a fair price to pay for a bag you’ll use the rest of your life. — John Zientek

Staub 7-Quart Cocotte
Save $150:Beyond the chef’s knife, and maybe a cast-iron skillet, a Dutch oven is the most important (read: versatile) tool in your kitchen. It’s great for soups, stews or even frying up a chicken. Right now, you can save $150 on an enameled, seven-quart version of Staub’s round cocotte, which we named the superior cooking vessel to Le Creuset’s famously striking Dutch oven. Read the full review here. — Jack Seemer

AGV Helmet Sale

The rest of the helmets on sale will save you around $200 each, like AGV’s AX-8 adventure line and the GT Veloce street-oriented models all closing in on 50% off. — Bryan Campbell

Nike Summer Sale
Save 20%: No news flash here, but it’s hot outside. Getting outdoors to run or train can be pretty brutal this time of year, but not as bad if you have the right gear. Right now you can stock up on a variety of Nike tops, shorts and sneakers to help ease the heat while upping your cool factor. We’ve hand-selected a few of our favorite items that we’re currently coveting or already wearing all over town to help you out — But there are lots options online. Enter code HOT20 at checkout for an extra 20 percent off. — Meg Lappe

TCL 32-Inch Roku Smart TV (2017)
Save $70 (35%): This little Roku TV won’t blow you away with specs. It’s 32-inches, which is tiny. And it lacks 4K resolution, only producing a 720p picture. However, if you’re looking to connect your old cable box or retro gaming console, this is a fine TV to consider. It has several HDMI ports, which is rare for a TV so small, and Wirecutter named it as the best LCD/LED TV for small rooms. — Tucker Bowe

Armor-Luxe Breton Shirt
Save Nearly 50%: Even if you don’t recognize it by name, you’re likely familiar with the Breton shirt – blue horizontal stripes against a white background that instantly calls to mind sailing and the sea. Celebrities such as Jeames Dean, Pablo Picasso, Andy Warhol and Audrey Hepburn all wore the Breton shirt, and the style is timeless and elegant.
Armor-Lux is a French brand that has been producing the Breton shirt in Quimper, France since 1938 and has even outfitted the French military (though numerous clones of the style have been made over the years, the Armor-Lux is the original). Right now you can pick up the t-shirt version in two different styles for $29 on Huckbery, a full $26 off the MSRP of $55. You know the drill – when a style staple goes on sale, stock up and your wallet will thank you later. — Oren Hartov

Hamilton Shirts
Save up to 69%: Hamilton Shirt Co. is an American institution. For over 135 years, the fourth-generation family-run business has crafted some of the best shirts money can buy.

Currently at Todd Snyder, you can save up to 69 percent on a range of dress shirts from Hamilton Shirt Co. and Todd Snyder. Available in a range of fabrics, the shirts cost as little as $89 if you use the code HANGTEN at checkout. While you definitely shouldn’t skimp on quality dress shirts, this sale lets you get top-quality for bargain prices. — John Zientek

Bosch PS31-2A Power Drill
Save 39%: The Bosch PS31-2A is quite possibly the best drill you can get. It’s The Wirecutter’s top pick not just for providing exceptional power and battery life but for doing so in a relatively compact and lightweight package. It also does so at a fairly low price: just $129. But right now, Amazon is offering the PS31-2A (along with two batteries) at a 39 percent discount, meaning you can get it at just under $80 right now, its lowest price ever. If you don’t have a power drill (or desperately need an upgrade) now’s the time to pounce. — Andrew Connor

Grayers Eastvale 3 Button Blazer
Save 21%: An unstructured cotton blazer is one of the more versatile garments for a business casual wardrobe. The relaxed silhouette and easy-wearing fabric give it everyday appeal that more formal options lack. Grayers makes a great example cut from pin dot cotton featuring a classic three-button design and informal patch pockets. Now at Huckberry, the Eastvale blazer is available in sizes S through XL and costs just $139 — that’s 21 percent off MSRP. — John Zientek

Hamilton Khaki Field Automatic
Save 15%: Hamilton watches are a great way to get into mechanical timekeeping, its Khaki Field watches especially. They feature authentic vintage style and quality mechanical movements from ETA well under the $1,000 mark. The Field Khaki Automatic is an especially lovely option: it comes in a handsome 42mm case, features (in this iteration) a slate blue dial and boasts automatic winding. Best of all you can get it at a 15 percent discount at Nordstrom, right now. That might not seem like a lot, but that’s over $100 off MSRP. — Andrew Connor

Levi’s Made and Crafted Jeans
Save 50%: Is your go-to pair of jeans on its last legs? If you’re looking to pick up some new denim, it’s worth checking out the offerings from Levi’s Made and Crafted. The sub-brand combines high-quality fabrics with refined silhouettes, Japanese denim and tapered slim-fit styles. Now at Nordstrom, you can save 50 percent on three jeans from the brand. Available in a range of washes, these jeans are a step-up from your traditional Levi’s and are now nearly the same price-point. — John Zientek

That’s 40% off the list price, and at least 40% more clean, taste-free tap water that you can gulp down during this hellish heat wave. — Andy Frakes

Eddie Bauer EverTherm Down Jacket
Save $120: Last year, Eddie Bauer released its EverTherm Down Jacket and changed our perception of what down can look like. Rather than a horde of tiny feathers stuffed into horizontal baffles, EverTherm’s insulation is arranged in fabric-like sheets called Thindown. The construction prevents the need for that quilted look but also eliminates cold spots created by stitching, producing more warmth for less weight.

The EverTherm’s innovation was undeniable on paper, and when we put the jacket to the test last fall and winter, we found that it wasn’t all marketing jargon. The coat is impressive, and it’s certainly worthy of use in the mountains and around town too (the lack of baffles makes it look less technical than most down jackets, which could be a boon to city-dwellers). For these reasons, we named it one of the best of the year included it in our guide to the Best Down Jackets.

The EverTherm is only in its second season, but with Eddie Bauer’s current weekend sale you can snag it for 40 percent — that’s $120 — less than full price. If you need a down jacket for the inevitable cold of late fall and winter, the EverTherm is a great option to consider. And if you like the baffled look, check out Eddie Bauer’s MicroTherm jacket ($149 with the discount).

To activate the discount, enter the code STINE at checkout. — Tanner Bowden

Bose QC35 (Series I) Wireless ANC Headphones
Save $50: The Bose QC35 IIs are the company’s flagship wireless ANC headphones. They’re comfortable. They sound superb. And they offer arguably the best noise-canceling of any ANC headphones on the market. They’re also almost virtually identical to the company’s previous wireless ANC headphones, the Bose QC35 (Series I). The only real difference is the older QC35 headphones lack the QC 35’s “action” button, which is located on its left ear cup and used to initiate Google Assistant. If you can survive without this, and I’m guessing most people can, you can save $50 on the Bose QC35 (Series I). It’s discounted on both Amazon’s and Best Buy’s websites, but only in the silver model. — Tucker Bowe |

High-End Lighting
Save Up to 70%>YLighting is a website you’d typically go to for drool-worthy lighting fixtures, lamps and pendants. The webstore stocks lighting from legendary lightmakers like Anglepoise, George Nelson, FLOS and Tom Dixon, and as such places its wares at mostly unattainable price points. Its warehouse sale, going on right now, may be the cheapest you’ll ever see these brands.

The sale sees 1,200 high-end lights marked down up to 60 percent, all with additional 10 percent off thanks to code 10MORE (and free shipping). The catch? The products are all open box returns and the sales are final. The items are new quality but were sent back to the company. The sale is going on through the weekend and stocks are very limited. — Will Price

Brooks Brothers Sale
Save an Additional 25%: The dog days of summer are one of the best times to shop clothing sales as many brands use the time to offload extra inventory. If you’re looking to upgrade your professional wardrobe for less, Brooks Brothers has a sale worth shopping. Currently, you can save an additional 25 percent on sale items including suits, trousers, belts, shoes and more. The reputable brand has been offering tasteful clothing for two centuries, so you can trust that you’ll get a quality, timeless product. — John Zientek

Seiko Divers Marked Way, Way Down
Save up to $220: The Seiko 5 is the quintessential beginner watch thanks to a mechanical movement and reliable build quality that are offered at an incredibly low price. And right now you can get two of them, both divers, at a great price on Massdrop. The first is SRPB3X, dubbed the “Baby Monster” as it takes the overall look of the SKX-series “Monster” but puts it in a smaller, more affordable package. The other is the SRPC6X which has a rounder case and thinner bezel that echo the look of the iconic “Tuna.” Both watches use the trusty 4R36 automatic movement and are water-resistant to 100 meters. — Andrew Connor

This Sale Is Your Best Chance to Get an Awesome Knife for Less
Save up to 60%: Included in Backcountry’s Semi Annual sale is a collection of awesome knives. Some of them are more than 60 percent off. — Tanner Bowden

Tumi Briefcases
Save 30%: Summer sales offer a great chance to invest in big-ticket items that are normally unobtainable. More often than not, bags and briefcases geared towards urban professionals are more expensive than their casual counterparts, due in part to the use of more expensive materials and more complicated designs. If you’re looking to pick up an office-ready bag for a good deal, East Dane is currently offering 30 percent off a few tasteful options from Tumi. Even with the discount the prices aren’t cheap, but that’s to be expected from a reputable brand like Tumi. — John Zientek

Apple AirPods
Save $14: The price of Apple’s AirPods has stayed at $159 since they were released roughly two years ago. You can find certified refurbished models for a little less, at either Best Buy or eBay, but that’s about it. Now, with rumblings of a new AirPod case set to be announced (with an LED light to indicate battery life), it seems the price of AirPods is finally dropping — but again, by just a little. Right now you can buy brand new AirPods on Amazon for $145 — $14 off what they’re going for on Apple’s website. — Tucker Bowe

Coach’s Big Sale
Take 50% off great fall outerwear Most guys haven’t even started thinking about buying a jacket for fall yet. But maybe that’s because most guys don’t yet know about Coach’s awesome 50% off sale, which is discounting everything from leather jackets to sharp M65s.— Justin Fenner

Boot Up for Fall
Take 50% off Sorel’s sharp boots Sorel’s sharp boots are half off their original prices, thanks to a great sale from Nordstrom Rack. We love the look of its waterproof leather boots, which are a durable option for rainy fall days. And — in a pinch, with the right pair of socks — they can carry you well into winter, too.— Justin Fenner

Mophie Wireless Charging Base
Save $20: You just bought an iPhone X — or iPhone 8/8 Plus — and you’re looking for jump on the new wave of wireless charging. Using your iPhone’s Lightning port is so dated, after all. One of the best wireless chargers is Mophie’s Wireless Charging Base. It supports 7.5-watt fast-charging speeds and comes with wall adapter in the box (not all do). Apple even trusts the wireless charger enough to sell it, but on Apple.com they’re going for $50 a pop. If you’re looking for a better deal, you can find the same one on Amazon for just under $40.

All the Outdoor Gear You Could Ever Want Is on Sale Now
Save up to 50%: Summer is coming to its slow close, but thanks to Backcountry’s Semi Annual Sale there isn’t a better time to get outside with new gear. — Tanner Bowden

Dyson Animal Ball Vacuum
Save $75:With its latest cordless vacuum, Dyson declared itself done with vacuums of the corded variety. Other than the obvious fact that the brand sees cordless vacuums as the way into the future, it also means cheaper corded vacuums. Cheaper corded vacuums like this four-year-old Animal Ball vacuum, that’s at its lowest price ever.

The Ball vacuum is corded, it’s heavier than the wireless vacuums (just over 15 pounds) and it’s more difficult to store in most situations as well. But, functionally, it’s on-par with any wireless vacuum they’ve made. It’s got a wider head, won’t need charging (the V10 requires multiple hours to fully charge) and sports enough suction to pull hair, grime, dirt and coins from virtually any surface. This model is a manufacturer refurbished piece, meaning it was sent back to Dyson and they ran performance tests to ensure it still performs up to standard. Today this beast of a vacuum is $200, $75 off its usual price. — Will Price

Birdwell x Todd Snyder
Save up to 33% Unlike other swimming trunks, Birdwell Beach Britches are made with longevity in mind. Which is why it’s worth getting excited about a bunch of them going on sale. The brand’s exclusive collaboration with Todd Snyder is finally on sale. Act fast. — Justin Fenner

Timex Marlin
Save $30: For most of the time since it came out late last year, the Time Marlin — the brand’s first hand-winding mechanical watch in years — has spent the majority of the time either full-price or sold out (and thus marked up on the second-hand market). For the last couple of months, though, Timex seems to have put the handsome vintage-inspired piece back in stock for the long haul. Better still, it appears the watch has gotten its first markdown (that we know of) on Huckberry. At a 15 percent drop in price, it’s not exactly a fire sale, but it’s nothing to sneeze at either, and it makes the already-affordable mechanical piece even more accessible. At just $169 there’s no doubt you’re getting a ton of bang for your buck. — Andrew Connor

A.P.C. Surplus Sale
Save 50%>A.P.C.’s Surplus Sale has just begun and it’s basically a very big web page full of great gear from past seasons.

Though you might expect a French fashion brand born in the ’80s to be a bit more, well, loud, A.P.C. is decidedly quiet. Its founder, Jean Touitou, once told Business of Fashion “There are too many fashion shows, too much loss of quality, too many parties.” Basically, his company is in the business of making classics, as cliché as that sounds. This begs the question why it should matter if the goods available at or around 50 percent off during this sale are a year or two years old — if you aim to make timeless goods, shouldn’t 2017’s jeans be pretty similar to 2018’s?

A lot is packed into this sale, so we’ve picked a few of our favorite items below (including one of the best basic white t-shirts you can buy). As of publishing, plenty of sizing and color options were available. — Will Price

Mismo Bags
Save 30%: In 2003, Rikke Overgaard and Adam Alexander Bach founded the understated bag brand Mismo. What started as a line of elegant everyday bags to counter the ubiquitous nylon bags of the early aughts has grown into a full-fledged collection including backpacks, weekenders and tote bags. The Danish brand’s tenets are rooted in simplicity, functionality and durability, and as such, the clean designs utilize Italian fabrics and are crafted in Turkey. If you’re in need of a well-made bag and aren’t interested in American waxed-canvas offerings, check out these tasteful Scandinavian bags at Need Supply — they’re 30 percent for a limited time. — John Zientek

Chaco Hiking Sandals Sale
Save $20+: Hiking while the weather is warm is one of life’s greatest pleasures. Walking through the trails in heavy boots under direct sun with no breeze, however, is pretty miserable. Slap some hiking sandals on your feet and enjoy the breathing room they provide. Outdoor sandals are quite intense and complete with grippy Vibram soles and molded arches. Best of all, they’re all easy to slide on and hang on your backpack when you’re done for the day. Chaco creates strappy and durable hiking sandals — many of which are on sale today for up to $20 off. One of our top picks in 2018, the Z2 Classic is currently $21 off. Enjoy the rest of summer’s heat and soak up the sun starting with your toes. — Meg Lappe

A Clever Sale From Bonobos
Save 25% Right now, you can take 25 percent off the brand’s sharp polo shirts, including the pique versions made from Pima cotton. All you have to do is use the code MARCO at checkout. (We told you it was clever.) — Justin Fenner

Arc’Teryx Veilance Products
Save 40%: Now at East Dane, there is a rare chance to save 40 percent on Arc’Teryx Veilance goods. The first Veilance collection was released in 2009 with little fanfare, but the urban-focused sub-brand of the legendary Canadian adventure brand has gained a loyal following in the past nine years. But, that’s no surprise. The brand offers understated outerwear and bags in a range of muted colors, featuring the top technical fabrics pioneered by its parent company. Its high-end technical wear comes with a luxury price tag, and for many, is inaccessible at MSRP. If you’ve been yearning for a more technical garment designed for the city dweller, this is your chance to invest in the best. While the Veilance goods are still pricey, you can pick something up without completely depleting your paycheck. — John Zientek

Garmin Forerunner 735XT
Save $100: Ask a runner if they track a workout, and you’re likely to get a strange look. Who doesn’t log every single mile? The easiest way to do it is to invest in a smartwatch with GPS, like Garmin’s Forerunner series. The Forerunner 735XT alerts you to calls and texts from your phone, monitors wrist-based heart rate and works on runs, bikes, swims, hikes and anything else you do. It also comes standard with the Strava Live Suffer Score Connect IQTM app to tell you how hard you’re working — or not working. If you buy one today, you can save $100 off the original price of $450. — Meg Lappe

Cuisinart Programmable Coffee Maker
Save 65%>Cuisinart’s 14-cup programmable coffee maker is not for the person that stressed about pre-infusion, water minerality or deciding between a coarse and medium-coarse grind. No, it is for the person who wants hot coffee, and a lot of it. And today it’s way, way cheaper than normal.

The product is programmable on 24-hour cycles, meaning you can set it up to initiate the brew process at whatever times of the day you prefer. I can’t vouch for its claims of brewing with “State of the Art” technology that allows for a hotter cup without sacrificing taste, as we know raising brew temperatures can lead to overextracted coffee, which leads to a lot of bitterness. But, again, if you’re after volume and hot cups of coffee, this isn’t a problem. There’s no coffee shaming here.

The Cuisinart programmable model makes up to 14 cups of coffee at a time, cleans itself and is 65 percent off today. — Will Price

Harman Kardon AVR 1610S
Save $225: Even though it’s several years old, the Harman Kardon AVR 1610S is still a solid, entry-level AV receiver for anybody looking to build out a home theater system. It’s a 425-watt receiver that can support up to 5.1 channels. It has a number USB ports, so you can directly connect an external hard drive, set-top cable box or smartphone. It has built-in Bluetooth and supports Spotify Connect, making it easy to stream music, too. It’s available on the company’s website for $400 (here), however you can get it for $249 on Amazon (here). Today on eBay you can get an extra chunk of change off — the Harman Kardon AVR 1610S (new!) is going for just $175 (here). — Tucker Bowe

The North Face Allproof Stretch Rain Jacket
Save 46%: Regarding rain jackets, 2018 was the year of stretch. It seemed as if every outdoor company integrated elasticity into that crucial weather layer that’s typically not known for its range of motion. The best jacket to do this, in our opinion, is The North Face’s Allproof Stretch. The Allproof provides about as much pliancy as a balloon — and its interior feels similar to that material — but is still fully waterproof, and lightweight enough for hiking and backpacking. Two exterior hand pockets, an adjustable hood and underarm zips for venting fill out the Allproof’s features, making it ideal for everyday and technical use. We liked it so much that we named it one of the best of the year (check out the rest of our list here).

Right now, the Allproof is a staggering 46 percent off at Mountain Steals, dropping from its regular price of $149 to just $81. — Tanner Bowden
