Big Agnes Sale
Save Up to 50%: I don’t want to jinx it, but it looks like the weather is finally turning for the better. That means weekend adventures up to mountains or out to the lake are a lot more enticing, now that the air isn’t so cold. Another excuse to start planning weekend trips into the wilderness is the big Big Agnes sale at Backcountry. Get a four-person tent up to 50% off, save $25 on a sleeping pad or take advantage of all the other discounted camping gear you’ll need for the fresh new season. — Bryan Campbell

Right now, ceramic versions of the V60 (which help retain heat) are marked down on Amazon, making it a tempting buy for those interested in the nerdy realm of pour-over but have yet to take the plunge. — Andrew Connor

The Best Deals of the Day: April 10, 2018

Brooks Brothers Shirts
Save 46%: It’s easy to get into a rut with your professional wardrobe. You have shirts and slacks that work, and you simply rotate through them. If you’re feeling like your office garb has gotten a little static, consider investing in a couple new shirts from Brooks Brothers. They’ve got a classic fit and design that will pair well with your existing wardrobe, and they come in a range of colors and patterns. Now at Nordstrom Rack, they’re 46 percent off and cost just $50 per shirt. — John Zientek

Aero 48-Inch Media Center
Save $575: The art of putting together the small apartment is finding slightly smaller versions of full-size furniture you love. Point being, you can’t really go for a full wall, four-feet deep media center with a paltry 600 square-feet to work with. However, this Aero 48-inch media center fits that bill perfectly and, for now, won’t break the bank. Designed by Gabriel Tan to blend Shaker-style furniture with modern lines and color, the Aero is made of hand-painted American Ashwood and a protective lacquered finish. The media console, which typically retails at $1150, is 50 percent off on Design Within Reach now. — Will Price

Sony WH-1000XM2
Save $143: Frankly, the Sony WH-1000XM2 and the Bose QC35 II ($350) are the two best wireless active noise-canceling headphones you can buy in 2018. And the Sony WH-1000XM2 are going for $205 on eBay right now — which is almost $150 less than its normal $348 MSRP. This is one of the lowest prices we’ve seen the Sony WH-1000XM2 going for. It’s also important to point out that these headphones are “manufacturer-refurbished.” If you’re worried about them not meeting your expectations, remember that each pair comes with a warranty and a 30-day return policy.

Glycine Combat Sub
Save 75%: The Glycine Combat Sub is an excellent example of a usable tool that has some vintage panache. It’s powered by a movement based on the venerable ETA 2824 automatic and features a unidirectional timing bezel and a 42mm case good for a 200-meter depth rating. The Combat Sub’s MSRP is around $1,500, but usually, you can find them at online retailers closer to $600. Still, Massdrop is offering even bigger savings with a campaign that’s marked down the watch’s price to just $380. — Andrew Connor

Patagonia Sale
Save 30%: Patagonia’s arsenal of clothing runs the gamut of everything you could need, year round. Right now, Backcountry is having a massive Patagonia sale where everything from shirts, pullovers, pants, down jackets and so much more are all at least 30% off. It’s a gigantic catalog of clothing, so we picked out a few of the pieces that caught our eye to get you started. — Bryan Campbell

Onia Calder Swim Trunks
Save 58%: If you’ve been daydreaming about warmer months, the latest Onia sale at Nordstrom Rack gives you something to act on. You can get a pair of the brand’s Calder swim trunks for 58 percent off. The mid-rise short is a versatile enough to be worn both in and out of the water. It features a zip fly, a mesh brief lining, two front slash pocket and a back patch pocket. Though the weather may not be beach-appropriate yet, that doesn’t mean you can’t be prepared. — John Zientek

Mystery Ranch Backpacks and Bags
Save 45%: Mystery Ranch is known for creating some of the toughest backpacks on earth, so it’s no surprise the brand has worked with the Navy SEALS, backcountry firefighters and the US Forest Service. Now you can save up to 45% off some of the backpacks, wheelies and duffels, making this lifetime purchase every sweeter. — Meg Lappe

Persol Pilot Sunglasses
Save 71%: It’s hard to fault the classic styling of Persol’s PO7359S sunglasses. Made in Italy, the pilot style features metal frames, tasteful hinge accents and light brown flash lenses. If you’re looking to invest in some new eyewear before the sunnier months, now’s the time. This pair is 71 percent off at Nordstrom Rack and costs just $100. — John Zientek

Nike Tanks and Shorts
Save 70%: Nike knows how to make running gear — every tank, short and legging it produces is breathable, has the right amount of stretch and never chafes. Find remarkable shorts and tanks for up to 70 percent off now. Whether you’re a 5-, 7- or 9-inch inseam, there’s a variety of colors and styles on sale now. — Meg Lappe

Vitamix Vita-Prep 2.3 HP Blender
Save $500: There comes a time in every person’s life when a blender with actual horsepower is on the shopping list. If you’re that person, and that time is now, you’re in luck.

Vitamix’s all-powerful Vita-Prep blender is slashed big time right now — from north of $800 to $358. The Vita-Prep is the original all-in-one appliance, and it does it without wi-fi connectivity and LED screens and programmability overload. Its aerospace-grade, laser cut steel blades are powered by a 2.3 HP motor which, together with a simple speed-changing knob, make a blender that can dice whole vegetables, make ice cream, cook soup, whip cream, liquify nuts and make the smoothest of smoothies. It generates so much suction it actually sucks air bubbles back into the blades and limits over-frothy end products.

Don’t look at Vitamix’s Vita-Prep as a blender — look at it as the original Instant Pot. Save $500 on the professional grade model today — Will Price

Adventure Duffels
Save $88: Travel duffels need to be dependable, durable and simple. Waterproof materials and zippers and padded backpack straps are the highest forms of technological advances we see in this field, and that’s okay with us. Five of the ten award-winning adventure duffels are on sale today. Now’s a great time to buy one for life, and simultaneously book your next epic trip — after all, these duffels can handle anything you throw at them. — Meg Lappe

Riedel Vinum Extreme Cabernet Glasses
Save $20: In 1986 Master Austrian glassmakers Riedel changed the glassware game by introducing the first line of machine-made pieces tailored to different wine types — this was the Vinum collection, which has held as the standard for affordable, varietal-specific glasses since. The Vinum collection, which features a glass for cabernets to rosés, is made with dishwasher-safe crystal glass and also comes in an “extreme” model, providing an upgraded glass size. Right now, a set of two Riedel Vinum Cabernet Sauvignon (Merlot and Bordeaux, too) Extreme series glasses is $39, $20 off its usual price. — Will Price

This Dog Tag Should Be Standard Issue for the Military
Save Over $85: Spyderco’s Dog Tag Folding Knife is the result of a collaboration with Ukranian knifemaker Serge Panchenko, and is nearly the same dimensions as the current mil-spec dog tag. Its 1.22-inch sheepsfoot blade is made from high-quality CPM S30V stainless steel, while its handle is a combination titanium and aluminum. The knife is a slip joint design, which means that it doesn’t lock open. If you live somewhere like New York City with stringent knife laws, that’s good news. Spyderco doesn’t provide ball chain with the Dog Tag folder, so you’ll need to pick one up separately.

The knife is currently available on Massdrop for $45, down from its retail price of $130, and ships April 24. But if you don’t want to wait that long, you can also pick one up from Amazon (Prime eligable) for $56. — AJ Powell

Bonita BV1901TS
Save $50: Bonavita’s drip coffee makers are praised both for their ability to make a cup of Joe on par with manual pour-over methods (sans fuss) and their relatively affordable price (they’re a hell of a lot cheaper than a comparable Technivorm, that’s for sure). The BV1901TS, for example, has a pre-infusion mode for freshly-ground coffee and consistently heats water to the ideal brewing range. Thanks to a campaign on Massdrop, its been discounted to just $110, though only 100 coffee makers are available. — Andrew Connor

The Best Deals of the Day: April 6, 2018

OXO Bag Cinches
Save 66%: Listen, brightly-colored plastic bag cinches may not be the sexiest Friday pick-up, but they are dependable and useful and everything else your Friday self is not. This set of three are made by the discerning cook and kitchenware makers at OXO, practitioners of simple products that do their jobs without fuss. The bag cinches are chip, rice, cereal, nut and bread-savers and feature a rubbery no-slip grip and colors that literally can’t be glossed over if dropped or lost. Normally selling for $9 for a set of three, now they’re $3. — Will Price

Recently, he launched a more affordable sub-brand, Michael Bastian Grey Label, that delivers the same styles for a better price point. The current sale means you can update your professional wardrobe for just $25 a shirt — hard to argue with that. — John Zientek

Peak Design Slide
Save 20%: Peak Design’s Slide camera strap features a seat belt-like construction that’s both comfortable and supportive and is easily adjustable thanks to a set of slide buckles. The quick-release anchor links that attach the strap to your camera are a considered addition, too. Naturally, this doesn’t come cheap, and while the Slide’s $50 asking price isn’t exactly astronomical, in the grand scheme of things it’s a big ask for a strip of nylon webbing. It’s fortunate, then, that you can pick it up for $40 right now from Massdrop.
— Andrew Connor

Converse Chuck Taylor All Star ’70 Low Top
Save 70%: Menswear retailer Gentry is going out of business, and that means you can pick up a pair of Converse Chuck Taylor All Star ’70 low top sneakers for just $24. The style features a thicker canvas and higher foxing than traditional Chucks, but the same iconic silhouette. The off-white ‘Parchment’ colorway is perfect for the warmer months, but don’t wait — with a price like this, they won’t be around long. — John Zientek

Ray-Ban Aviator
Save 30%: Next to the Wayfrer, the Aviator is Ray-Ban’s signature style sunglasses.

Sony WH-1000XM2
Save $143: Frankly, the Sony WH-1000XM2 and the Bose QC35 II ($350) are the two best wireless active noise-canceling headphones you can buy in 2018. And the Sony WH-1000XM2 are going for $205 on eBay right now — which is almost $150 less than its normal $348 MSRP. This is one of the lowest prices we’ve seen the Sony WH-1000XM2 going for. It’s also important to point out that these headphones are “manufacturer-refurbished.” If you’re worried about them not meeting your expectations, remember that each pair comes with a warranty and a 30-day return policy.

Altra Running Shoes
Save $50: The brand that made zero drop running sneakers with a wide toebox commonplace to see on the road and trail is having a big sale. Altra’s Torin 3.0, Instinct 4.0 and Olympus 2.5 sneakers are all up to $60 off original prices. Now’s a good time to stock up on sneakers for a great price. — Meg Lappe

Canon PowerShot G7X Mark II
Save $150: The Canon PowerShot G7X Mark II was released in 2016 as a follow up to the PowerShot G7X, which was the company’s first camera with a 1-inch sensor. The Mark II came with the same sensor-and-lens combo as its predecessor (4x optical zoom lens, aperture range of f/1.8-f/2.8.), but it also had a few modest upgrades, like as better battery life and a tilting touchscreen. The big improvement, however, was that the Mark II had a significantly better image processor (DIGIC 7), allowing it to be a faster burst shooter and have better focus tracking capabilities.

Today, the PowerShot G7X Mark II is still an excellent travel camera that’s particularly great in low-light situations. And it’s usually affordable, coming in at $699, but today it’s extra affordable — get it for $549 on Massdrop today.
— Tucker Bowe

Chippewa General Utility Boot
Save 70%: Chippewa’s General Utility Boot was built to take abused. This boot from the century-old American company features a tough Vibram Heritage Christy outsole and a cushy-but-supportive Texon Poron maple leather insole. A Goodyear Welt construction combines with a steel shank to provide support and long-lasting durability, and minimal design flourish and branding mean they’re wearable to work or in the field.
The Chippewa General Utility Boot typically retails north of $400, today the Cognac model is at the absurd price of $114. Sizes seven to eleven available as of posting. — Will Price

BAD Bags No. 3 Duffel Backpack Hybrid
Save 30%: BAD stands for “Best American Duffel,” and you don’t give a product a name like that without making sure it can stand up to some serious abuse. BAD makes its bags with 1,000-denier Ballistic CORDURA nylon fabric that’s urethane-coated for additional weather resistance. Seams are taped, stitches are doubled and hardware is nickel-plated and rust-resistant. The Duffel No. 3 is also wrapped with a length of two-inch, 6,000-pound break-strength seat-belt webbing to ensure durability over time and help with weight distribution when fully-loaded. It isn’t just a tank though; BAD equipped the No. 3 with pack-away backpack straps and ensured that it’s carry-on compliant, making it the last travel duffel you’ll ever have to buy.
Right now the BAD No. 3 Duffel is available at Huckberry in an exclusive tan and black colorway for almost 30 percent off. — Tanner Bowden

The Best Deals of the Day: April 4, 2018

Seiko Prospex Samurai
Save $139: This Seiko Samurai has all the makings of a perfect summer watch. It’s water resistant to 200 meters, has a fun (yet reserved) color scheme and, most importantly, it’s affordable. Right now, Macy’s has it marked down from its $495 MSRP to $356, so this is one of the most accessibly-priced mechanical dive watches you can get right now, making it the perfect buy for when summer rolls around. — Andrew Connor

RavPower 26800 PD Portable Charger
Save $120: Amazon is currently selling the RavPower 26800 PD Portable Charger for $80 — that’s $120 less than the high-capacity charger was going for last year when it was released. At 26,800 mAH, or 100 watt-hours, it’s the largest capacity power bank that TSA allows. It has fast charge technology so it can quickly charge your new iPhone X or Samsung Galaxy S9. And it has a USB-C with power delivery technology (PD), meaning it can charge your laptop. Also, since it has multiple ports (micro USB, USB-C and two USB Type-A) so it can simultaneously charge two devices. If you’re looking for a high-capacity charger for all your devices, including your MacBook Pro, here is your solution. — Tucker Bowe

Google Home
Save 30%: Google periodically drops the price of its Google Home smart speaker, which is normally $129, but this isn’t one of those times. However, you can go over to NewEgg and find the smart speaker for $80, which cuts almost $50 off (or 30-percent off). The deal runs until the Saturday, so if you need more time to contemplate, you have it. — Tucker Bowe

The case is a perfect 38 mm diameter and is just 10 mm thick. If you’re looking for a watch that you can dress up or down, look no further.

The Best Deals of the Day: April 3, 2018

Ray-Ban Wayfarer Sunglasses
Save 50%: Manufactured since 1956, the Ray-Ban Wayfarer is something of a gold standard for acetate sunglasses. It is exceedingly popular and looks good on a wide variety of face shapes. The frame silhouette is bold, but not over-the-top, and it can compliment almost any style of dressing. Now at Nordstrom Rack, you can save 50 percent on a pair of these iconic Italian-made sunglasses — you’ll only spend $72. — John Zientek

Alpina Seastrong Automatic
Save $995: Alpina is probably best known for its pilot’s watches and chronographs, but the brand knows its way around a diver. The Seastrong Automatic, for example, pairs an edgy case design with a super clean dial and an automatic movement. It’s also rated water resistant to 300 meters. Normally the watch retails for $1,495 (not exactly cheap) but thanks to a successful campaign on Massdrop, you can get it right now for just $500. You’ll just have to hurry, seeing as this deal will only last for two more days. — Andrew Connor

Clarks Desert Boot
Save 40%: The enduring popularity of Clarks Desert Boots is well-founded. The casual style is incredibly versatile, making it ideal for everyday wear. It pairs well with jeans or chinos, and it’s appropriate for a range of weather conditions. Desert Boots have a simple construction featuring a leather upper, a crepe sole and an EVA footbed — they’re lightweight, comfortable and easily packable. Now at Zappos, you can save 40 percent on a pair in dark gray suede. That means this casual footwear style will only run you $84. — John Zientek

Darn Tough Steely Sock Two-Pack
Save 29%: Darn Tough prides itself on making the most durable socks, ever. It’s so confident in that fact that it guarantees every pair unconditionally, for life — no questions, asked, no conditions (you have to pay to ship them to the company’s Vermont headquarters). Darn Tough makes socks for running, cycling, mountain biking, skiing, hiking, mountaineering, wearing around town and more. All are equally tough and constructed with a range of materials, including ethically-sourced merino wool. A Darn Tough classic, the Steely Sock, is currently on sale as a two-pack on Massdrop. The Steely is a sock designed with extra cushion for long days spent working in boots outdoors. It’s available in a crew length with extra padding in the toes (great for steel-toed boots) or as a taller boot-length model with that cushion throughout.

The two-pack is down from $42 to $30, which may seem like a lot until you consider that with Darn Tough’s lifetime guarantee, you’re making a lifetime investment. — Tanner Bowden

Oak Street Bootmaker’s End of Season Sale
Save Up to 60%: Few and far between are American shoemakers working with decent leather and with the methods of shoemaking that made the Americana look what it is today. Out of Chicago, Oak Street Bootmakers is one of those makers and, seeing as their End of Season Sale has just begun, it’s high time to consider a pair.

Hand-crafted with Horween Chromexcel leather and in classic styles like the trench boot, camp boot, and chukka, Oak Street’s work is entirely unburdened by excess threading and non-essential design elements. The boots are made today by George Vlagos and his team in the same fashion as they were by Vlagos’s master cobbler father decades before. Due to the quality of the leather used, pay keen attention to the sizing section on each product, as some recommend true-to-size fits and other going down a half-size due to the shoe conforming to your foot. — Will Price

Astorflex Bitflex Chelsea Boots
Save $80: Made popular in 1960s England by the likes of John Lennon and Mick Jagger, Chelsea boots have become ubiquitous due to their sheer versatility. They’re a style hack really; a lack of laces imparts a clean and minimal look that pairs well with any outfit while making them casually comfortable at the same time. Astorflex’s dark khaki Bitflex provides a model example of what a Chelsea boot can be: it’s handmade in Italy in an eco-friendly process using premium leather and a natural rubber sole. It sounds like a hippie-fodder, but it’s handsome enough to pull off at sophisticated summer gatherings. Right now, they’re on sale for $80 less than their full price. — Tanner Bowden

Mophie powerStation 5X
Save: Mophie’s powerStation 5X is a super slim portable charger that can, with two USB-A ports, charge two smartphones simultaneously. It’s not the newest or the most powerful portable charger, so it doesn’t have fast charge technology nor can it output enough charge your laptop. However, it’s an extremely portable — plus its silver finish looks nice! — and it has 10,000 mAh, so it can charge a smartphone several times over. And now it’s extremely affordable. The powerStation 5X is still going for $130 on Mophie’s website, but you can get a refurbished model for just $12 on Daily Steals right now. It should be noted that you can buy a brand new powerStation 5X on Amazon for $42 and on Walmart for $40, so the deal isn’t as drastic. But $12 on a super slim and good-looking power bank? And it’s made by one of the best-regarded companies in portable power? That’s a heck of a deal. — Tucker Bowe

The Best Deals of the Day: April 2, 2018

Blundstone Super 550 Boot
Save 54%: It’s worth investing in an understated everyday boot that is both comfortable and durable. Blundstone’s Super 550 boot is a prime example that is surprisingly affordable. The Chelsea boot features a brown leather upper, a leather lining, a slip-resistant TPU outsole and a removable comfort footbed with XRD technology for comfort. Now at Nordstrom Rack, the style is 54 percent off and costs just $85 — that’s less than a lot of sneakers. — John Zientek

Todd Snyder + Rocky Mountain Featherbed Liner Down Jacket
Save 40%: Rocky Mountain Featherbed produced a range of hard-wearing outerwear for cowboys and ranchers in Wyoming. Active from the late ‘60s to the ‘80s, the brand then disappeared for nearly two decades until a Japanese collector revived the label in 2005. Utilizing archival designs, the brand expanded in Japan and is now offered at a range of American men’s retailers like Mr Porter and Todd Snyder. A great garment is the Liner Down Jacket, a collaboration with Todd Snyder, which features classic styling with a nylon shell, down insulation and a double zip with snap buttons. Now 40 percent off, you can pick this jacket up for less than $300. Not only is it a cool piece of outerwear, it’s also got a great backstory. — John Zientek

Snow Peak Ti Mini Solo Combo
Save $23: Packing for a big camp trip calls for a lot of prep, and when planning for meals, it can be easy to defer to dehydrated meals, especially if you’re trying to go ultra-light. But if you have space and don’t mind carrying a little extra weight, we highly recommend you add backcountry cookware to your pack. This combo from Snow Peak is on sale today — a pot, cup and lid all crafted with corrosion-resistant titanium. Hurry, the deal through Massdrop only lasts through the early hours of tomorrow morning, so get it while you can. — Meg Lappe

Chrome Industries Soma Commuter Backpack
Save $50: A commuter bag must do three things: carry your things, keep them safe while doing so and be comfortable. Chrome Industries’s Soma commuter backpack fulfills each of these prerequisites and then some. Modeled after their popular Soma Sling Messenger, the Soma Backpack, which is $50 off its usual $120 price tag right now (olive only), is made with a 1050d nylon shell, also known as what the vests of a fighter pilot’s flak jacket was made from during WWII. It’s tear, abrasion and water-resistant and sports a carrying capacity of 22 liters. A laptop sleeve accommodates up to a 15-inch MacBook Pro and a flexible harness in tandem with an EVA foam back cushion rounds out the bag’s measurables.

Chrome Industries’s commuter backpack is just above 40 percent off today, a $50 savings. –Will Price

Boker Plus Gnome Pocket Knife
Save 35%: It’s no secret that even the smallest pocket knife can function well enough to make for a reliable everyday companion. Most mini blades maximize length with folding action, but Boker Plus’ Gnome is a fixed blade that’s less than four inches. Ignore its length, and the Gnome reads like other quality fixed blade knives — it’s made with a full tang construction using 440C stainless steel in a sheepsfoot shape and an olive wood handle and comes with an equally-miniature leather sheath. If you’re at all intrigued by little knives that aren’t keychain folders, the Gnome is a good place to start, especially now that it’s 35 percent off. — Tanner Bowden

Adidas AdiZero Boston 6
Save $36: In honor of the Boston Marathon, which is just two weeks away, Adidas released its annual sneaker, the AdiZero Boston 6. If you’re looking for a fast shoe to race in, this might be your pick. Originally $120, the white version is now just $84 — a pretty good price for a pair of shoes to log 300 to 400 miles. — Meg Lappe

Your EDC Is Missing a Flashlight. Fill the Gap for as Little as $37.
Save up to 40%: Flashlights are an often-overlooked accessory in the periphery of your EDC. Knives, wallets and multitools get all of the attention, but a solid, pocket-sized flashlight can be just as important. Sure, everyone has a “flashlight” in their smartphone these days, but the photo flash-turned flashlights are weak in comparison to the LED lumen power of a dedicated EDC flashlight — and they don’t look nearly as good either. — AJ Powell

Orbitkey Organizers
Save 20%: I’m not a huge EDC guy. I don’t have a valet tray of knicks and knacks by my bed or anywhere in my house for that matter. My messenger bag isn’t stuffed to the brim with things I could use should I find myself lost in the wilderness on my commute to Manhattan and back. Orbitkey’s clever little key organizers, however, is an exception to my EDC-less lifestyle. Put simply, it holds your keys (up to seven) in a way that inhibits the keys from the evil deeds they commit when you sit down, shift slightly or god forbid put your phone in your pocket with them. A simple loop is fastened by a single, adjustable screw and that is literally it. There are extra bits you can purchase (like the mini-multitool I use), but this hyper-simple, hyper-smart product fixes an issue that needed fixing. The three black options — rubber, canvas and, my favorite, leather — are on Massdrop now for roughly 20 percent off their usual price. — Will Price

Levi’s Barstow Western Shirt
Save 31%: The Western shirt is a quintessential American garment. The snap-front style was first introduced by Jack Weil’s Denver-based brand Rockmount Ranch Wear in 1946. After that, numerous other brands iterated on the style — a slim-fit design with yokes that cover the shoulders, snap-button cuffs, a snap-button placket and unique chest pockets (e.g. sawtooth pockets, smile pockets). One of the enduring versions is made by Levi’s. A logical success for the brand that popularized denim, Levi’s offered the Western shirt in its recognizable fabric. The California brand now makes a few different styles of the shirt, and its most accessible model is on sale at Zappos for 31 percent off. That means you can get an iconic American shirt for just $41. — John Zientek

UE Blast
Save $50: The Blast and Megablast are Ultimate Ears’ first portable and rugged Bluetooth speakers that work with Alexa. When at home and connected to wi-fi, you can ask Alexa to play/pause to the song, tell you the weather or set alarms. And when you take the speakers outside, they work like traditional Bluetooth speakers. They’re essentially better-sounding versions of Amazon’s Echo Tap ($99). If there was a drawback the UE Blast, the smaller of the two speakers, it was the price. However now it seems like the UE Blast just dropped from $230 to $180 — that’s $50 off and the lowest we’ve seen it fall to ever. You can get it on Amazon, Target or Best Buy for $180, now. — Tucker Bowe

Yeti Coolers and More
Save 20%: Yeti products are known for a particular set of qualities: they’re super-tough, and they come with a big, multi-digit price tag. They also rarely, if ever, go on sale. — Tanner Bowden

Frank and Oak Spring Sale
Save 25%: Frank And Oak is not a place for the fad-chasing hypebeasts of the world — it’s a no bullshit brand who makes no bullshit clothes. The five-year-old company aims to make clothes you’ll be able to wear for more than just a few seasons and do so at prices that aren’t eye-watering. This goal is tended to be a focus on modern cuts of bonafide classics like the Oxford button-down and slim (but not skinny) stretch jeans. Ethically-sourced material and a commitment to total sustainability (they recently released denim that wastes 80 percent less water than traditional manufacturing techniques) by the end of the year is the icing on the cake. Stocked with pocket tees, joggers, blazers and underwear, Frank And Oak offers a simple, no-hassle alternative to scraping the entire internet for decent pick-ups — and from March 29 through April 3, those pick-ups are getting even more affordable.

Get 15 percent off when you spend over $100 with the code SPRING15

Beoplay H8 Wireless ANC Headphones
Save $200: The Beoplay H8 are Bang & Olufsen’s lavish and wireless active noise-canceling headphones. Released in 2015, the on-ear headphones are made of metal and leather and they sound like you’d expect from a Bang & Olufsen pair of headphones — excellent. However, the company recently released the next-gen version of the Beoplay H8, the Beoplay H8i, which come with a few new features and USB-C charging, and they’ve taken the place of the Beoplay H8 in the Bang & Olufsen lineup. All this means is that you can now find some pretty great deals on the Beoplay H8. Originally $500, you can now snag them on Amazon for as low as $299, depending on the color.

Incase Travel Essentials
Save at Least 50%: Incase makes a range of well-designed, functional packing essentials for the modern traveler. Now at Nordstrom Rack, a good selection of its products are at least 50 percent off. Choose from cases for your electronics, backpacks and luggage, among other things. With prices starting at $9, these products won’t be around long, so act fast if you see something you need. — John Zientek

Cole Haan Sale
Save 50%: Cole Haan keeps re-working the menswear shoe world to make everyday and dress shoes more flexible and lightweight. These suede chukkas are a prime example. The casual yet elegant shoes come in three colors — black, brown and navy — and are now over 50% off. While you’re shopping, check out the variety of other sneakers, wingtips and loafers that are all up to 70% off. — Meg Lappe

Hamilton Jazzmaster Maestro
Save $340: Hamilton’s Jazzmaster lineup is full of great, Americana-infused dress watches. Take this Maestro model, for example, which blends rose-gold, old-school Arabic numerals with a classy, brushed dial. The sculpted lugs and small seconds sub-dial also look like they were ripped from a ’50s dress watch. The 40mm case ensconces an ETA 2895-based automatic movement inside. Thanks to some solid markdowns from Macy’s, you can get all this mid-century magnificence for well under a grand. — Andrew Connor

Pendleton Board Shirt
Save 33%: Before neoprene wetsuits were available, surfers in California would slather themselves in petroleum jelly and wear a wool shirt from Pendleton to fight off the Pacific’s cold. The technique was so popular that the Beach Boys, originally called the Pendletones, can be seen wearing the shirt on the cover of Surfin’ Safari, their 1962 debut album.

Though a lot has changed in wetsuit technology in the past half-century, Pendleton’s design remains unchanged. No longer a necessity for battling cold-water, the Board Shirt is now Pendleton’s best selling shirt. Cut from machine-washable wool from Umatilla County, Oregon, the shirt has two chest flap pockets, a button closure and straight back yoke with side pleats. If this classic American shirt resonates with you, Zappos is now offering 33 percent off of the Blue Beach Boys Plaid colorway. — John Zientek

Timex Weekender With Horween Strap
Save 50%: If you want to buy a watch strap made from Horween leather, be prepared to put down, at least, around $50. For the same amount of money, you could go out and buy a Timex Weekender, a simple (but handsome) vintage-style analog wristwatch. Or you can take advantage of this fifty-percent markdown from Huckberry and get both a Form•Function•Form Horween leather strap and a Timex Weekender in the same package for the same amount of money. Whether or not you want to look at like you’re getting the strap or the watch for free, there’s no doubting that’s an incredible amount of wrist candy for the money. — Andrew Connor

Common Projects Achilles Low-Tops
Save 30%: The forefather of the low-profile, minimalist sneaker movement, a pair of Common Projects’s Achilles — sporting the trademark gold-lettered serial number and size — remain at the top of the list for most-wanted luxury kicks. A spring and summer staple, a limited size run of Achilles Lows in white, black, beige, rose and taupe are 30 percent off at Wrong Weather — cutting more than $100 off the usual price. The Italian-made sneakers also feature a rubber sole, padded tongue and a 100 percent Italian leather upper. — Will Price

A.P.C. Black Petit Standard Jeans
Save 70%: A.P.C.’s Petit Standard jeans are the standard by which all slim-fit jeans are measured against. They have a classic five pocket design, a zipper fly and fabric with two percent stretch for added comfort. Now at East Dane, you can save 70 percent on a pair cut from black denim. It’s hard to argue with savings of $154. — John Zientek

Cole Haan Leather Duffel
Save 64%: Now at Nordstrom Rack, you can save 64 percent on a tasteful leather duffel bag from Cole Haan. Available in both black and brown, the bag features dual rolled-top handles, a zip closure and interior organizing pockets. It’s not overly complicated, nor should it be.

Miir Backpacks
Save 40%: If you’ve been toying with biking to work, now’s the time to take that step. A sleek bag with water repellent finish and an easy-access zip top is a necessity. All bags and bikes at MiiR, a Seattle-based brand, is 40% off. — Meg Lappe

Orient Bambino V3
Save 50%: The Orient Bambino is a stalwart low-cost favorite amongst many watch enthusiasts for pairing an automatic movement with a clean, vintage-inspired design (cinched by a domed dial and crystal) 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 the blue dial V3 version for sale right now for just $121. — Andrew Connor

Mountain Hardwear Backpack
Save $45: The only real reason to continue using a drawstring bag is if you’re bagging up your dirty clothes from the gym or vacation, and even then it’s going into a carry-on or backpack. Besides from just being uncomfortable on the trail, drawstring bags never have enough pockets to hold all our stuff. One bag that’s an easy swap: This SingleTrack Backpack from Mountain Hardwear. Now through the end of the day, it’s on sale for just $45, down from $90. — Meg Lappe

Isaora Jackets and Coats
Save up to 75%: Up to 75% off some of the best workout gear, rain jackets and down jackets money can buy. — Will Price

Sony 1000XM2 ANC Headphones and Bluetooth Speaker
Save $100: The Sony 1000XM2 is one of the best active noise-canceling headphones you buy — it arguably boasts a better sound-and-ANC combo than the Bose QuietComfort 35 IIs — and they normally go for $348. However, eBay is selling the headphones and Sony’s Bluetooth speaker for $348. You’re essentially buying the headphones straight up, and getting a $100 rugged and wireless speaker for free. — Tucker Bowe

Nike Apparel Sale
Save 30%: Nike’s minimalist style and performance fabrics make it an easy addition to all gym apparel. This week only, JackRabbit has a host of Nike gear on sale including half-zips, tights, tanks, shorts, and more. Here are a few of our top picks to help you get started. — Meg Lappe

Hunter Boots Original Chelsea Rain Boot
Save 20%: Right now, Backcountry is running a rare sort of sale: 20 percent off one full-priced item when you use the code TAKEOFF20 at checkout. The only catch? You have to subscribe to Backcountry’s email newsletter. Easy. (There are some additional exclusions.)

Yesterday we revealed an incoming collaboration between the British outerwear company Hunter and Target that’s going to produce a stylish and remarkably cheap rain boot. But if you can’t wait until April 14, or want to pick up the boot that inspired the collaboration in the first place, you can do so now at Backcountry. Hunter Boots’ Original Chelsea Rain Boot is constructed with natural vulcanized rubber, a polyester lining and a grippy rubber outsole. Best of all, they barely look like rain boots. — Tanner Bowden

Panasonic Rechargeable AA-Batteries
Save $15: Rechargeable batteries are one of those office necessities you don’t talk about. Because if you’re talking about them, then there’s probably a problem. I’m not going to glorify these particular rechargeable batteries too much, but we use them in our office. In our wireless mice and keyboards. And they just work. Right now, Amazon is having a special deal on Panasonic’s rechargeable AA-batteries. You can buy a 12-pack for $25, which is $13 off. The charging dock isn’t included, granted, but you can pick that up for $18 (here). If you need a lot of rechargeable batteries, like in an office setting, I recommend jumping on these.

Brooks Brothers Slim-Fit Dress Shirts
Save $107:
As lofty as it sounds, you could make a very strong case that Brooks Brothers, the historic fashion house that suited everyone from Abraham Lincoln to Cary Grant, basically invented the modern dress shirt. And today, you can take advantage of its Wardrobe Event and pick up three for $169 — just in time for wedding season. — Jack Seemer

Brooks Brothers Long Wingtips
Save 48%: Pebble-grain leather adds a distinct texture to dress shoes. A type of corrected-grain leather, it is produced at a tannery by either embossing with a pressing plate or roller under high pressure. This process hides slight imperfections such as stretch marks or blemishes, ensuring more of the hide can be used. Considered less formal than smooth calfskin, the additional texture needs slightly different care than traditional leathers (use a light polish to prevent wax buildup in the leather grooves). If you’d like to introduce this unique appearance into your footwear rotation, consider a pair of Long Wingtips from Brooks Brothers. Made in the USA, they feature Goodyear welt construction and traditional broguing. They’re also 48 percent off and will only run you $224. — John Zientek

Vitamix 5200 Blender
Save $80: More often than not there’s some debate within a market as to which product reigns supreme. Not the case in the blender world.

The Vitamix 5200 is a superlative blender — aircraft-grade steel blades break down virtually any substance, hard or soft, and the variable speed gauge can spin fast enough to create a frictional heat that aids in ingredient breakdown and is able to bring cold frozen items to piping hot in 6 minutes. The chamber holds up to 64 ounces safely, meaning it’s meant for making more than smoothies on the weekend (though it can do that plenty well, too). Toss the ingredients for a soup in, turn the switch for 10 or so minutes and you’ll have a hot, perfectly pureed soup without ever turning on a stove. It can make non-dairy milks, nut butter, knead dough, batters and grinds even small ingredients like seeds down to a fine, uniform form. It’s also exceedingly well-reviewed for a premium product on Amazon (4.5/5 stars), a place prone to crushing reviews on pricier goods, is built in the USA and backed by a solid 7-year warranty program.

The Vitamix 5200 is on sale for $80 under its typical price, nearly an all-time low. — Will Price

Lumintop Tool Copper AAA
Save $20: The Lumintop Tool Copper AAA Flashlight runs on just one AAA battery and shines at three brightnesses — 5, 32, and 110 lumens — and weighs only 1.6oz. Offered in two models, the CREE XP-G2 R5 LED or the Nichia 219 LED, each 3.2-inch pocket-size light is about as long as a deck of cards. Originally retailed for $50, save $20 today on Massdrop when you sign up with email. — Meg Lappe

Therm-a-Rest NeoAir XTherm Camping Mattress
Save $60: The difference between three-season camping gear and four-season camping gear is often, unfortunately, a lot of extra ounces. Sleeping bags, pads and tents that handle spring, summer and fall with ease suddenly flounder when permanent snow and below-freezing temperatures are thrown into the mix. Get a four-season product though, and it’s often too hot and too heavy for use in July.

Therm-a-Rest’s NeoAir XTherm is an exception to that broad brush stroke. Every pad in the NeoAir series is remarkably light — yes, there are even less weighty summer pads than this one — but at just 15 ounces (in the regular length size), the XTherm is a four-season pad that requires no concessions. Fully-inflated, the XTherm is 2.5 inches thick, providing more than enough cush for even the rockiest and rootiest campsites. Its fourth-season warmth comes from Therm-a-Rest’s Thermacapture technology, which traps radiant heat within the pad with reflective foil and an internal triangular baffling system. All this tech makes the XTherm capable of providing comfort in temperatures well below zero degrees Fahrenheit, but despite that, it still packs up to the size of a Nalgene, and in fact, has the best warmth-per-ounce of any sleeping pad available. — Tanner Bowden

Belstaff Roadmaster Jacket
Save 30%: Belstaff’s water-resistant motorcycle jackets have a reputation for classic style and durability. Since 1924, the brand has focused on producing quality water-resistant outerwear. The Roadmaster jacket is prime example cut from water-resistant cambric waxed-cotton sourced from a British mill. It features four front pockets, a waist buckle, a stand collar and a check lining. Now at East Dane, it’s 30 percent off — if you invest now you’ll get some good wear out of it before the weather warms up. — John Zientek

Wolverine 1883 Marco Suede Chukka Boots
Save 31%: Investing in a pair of suede chukka boots is a surefire way to elevate any casual outfit. The timeless silhouette is incredibly versatile and pairs well with jeans, chinos or slacks. Suede gives a subtle element of texture to your outfit without being ostentatious.

Be sure to check out the discounts on jackets, vests, gym shirts and more. — Meg Lappe

Bonavita Electric Kettle
Save 40%+: It’s easy to get bogged down in the hoopla of coffee gadgetry. There’s a great many shiny toys out there that take coffee-making to new levels, but for those who just want an ideal cup of pour-over without the sequins of smart-touch-LCD-wifi-enabled devices there’s Bonavita’s 1 Liter Electric Water Kettle which, today, is at an all-time low price. The brushed stainless steel kettle is charmingly uncomplicated — it uses a 1000 watt heater to bring water to temperature quickly, a spare gooseneck spout to pour water slowly and it turns on with a button press (and shuts off automatically). Bonavita prides themselves on this simplicity, an approach that’s allowed two of their home coffee brewers (the BV1900TD and BV1900TS) to be among the mere 13 brewers approved by the Specialty Coffee Association.
The Bonavita Electric Kettle, which typically retails for $60, is on sale for $35 now. — Will Price

Woolrich Footwear Fleece-Lined Sued Slippers
Save 50%: If there’s anyone who knows fleece, it’s Woolrich — they’ve been doing it for over 180 years. So when Woolrich puts its woolen know-how into suede slippers, you know it’s going to be good, and your feet will thank you for cocooning them in such incredible coziness. Woolrich Footwear Fleece-Lined Slippers are, on a regular day, ridiculously affordable at $50, but today, on Huckberry you can get them half off.— Bryan Campbell

Leatherman Multi-Tool Sale
Save 20%: Leatherman multi-tools last for life. They’ll help you survive everything from camping trips to adventures to your day-to-day.

You won’t see the discount until the item is in the cart. — Meg Lappe

Brooks Brothers Dress Shoes
Save 48%: Now at Brooks Brothers, you can save 48 percent on three classic dress shoes: the Leather Captoe, Leather Wingtip and Long Wingtip. Depending on your taste, there’s a shoe for you. The Leather Captoe is simple and refined, the Leather Wingtip is embellished and elegant, the Long Wingtip is elaborate and substantial. John Zientek

UE Wonderboom
Save $40: Ultimate Ears released the Wonderboom — a little waterproof Bluetooth speaker that pumps out 360-degree sound and can float — in early 2017. Originally $99, the Wonderboom is now going for just $60, which is the lowest we’ve seen it drop to. If you’re in the market for a little for a portable rugged Bluetooth speaker now that the weather is (hopefully) getting warmer, check out Amazon now. It’s available in 10 different colors. — Tucker Bowe

Patagonia Micro Puff Jacket
Save $60: The Micro Puff is Patagonia’s lightest synthetic jacket ever. Announced last fall, it has never been on sale — until now. Learn how to save $60 on the Micro Puff here. — Tanner Bowden

Uniqlo Ultra Light Down Compact Bomber Jacket
Save 33%: Uniqlo’s Ultra Light Down Compact Bomber Jacket is essentially a dead ringer for a military bomber liner. Lined with down, this jacket features a nylon shell, three front pockets and a snap-front closure. Use it as a layering piece for cooler days or as an outer layer as the season warms. The olive colorway pairs well with a range of different outfits and the price is hard to beat — it’s just $40. — John Zientek

Field Skillet
Save 20%: Perhaps the most beautiful thing about buying a cast-iron skillet is the knowledge that you, or whomever you entrust it to, may very well be cooking with it in 100 years. That’s why we get pretty excited when our absolute favorite cast-iron for every day (and outdoor) use is 20 percent off for the whole week.

The Field Skillet is not a newfangled design and it’s not going to be a showpiece like other more artful pieces, but that’s the whole point. At about the weight of a MacBook Pro (4.5 pounds), the Field Skillet is cast very light for a skillet of its size, and it’s easy-gripping handle doubly ensures your off-hand is always free. Its surface is a pre-seasoned, smoothly sheened, near-perfect non-stick surface that’s fried egg-ready out-of-the-box. After testing the skillet thoroughly, the regular price is surprising enough — other new age skillet makers are regularly selling their goods for north of $150 and well into the low $300s. For the remainder of this week, you can pick up a Field for $80 and use it for the rest of your life. Discount applied at checkout. — Will Price

J.Crew Nylon M-65 Jacket
Save 72%: First introduced in 1965, the M-65 field jacket is one of the most iconic pieces of military outerwear. The incredibly versatile silhouette is ideal for civilians, too, and is a solid casual option for cooler days. Now at J.Crew you can save 72 percent on the brand’s updated version of the M-65. Cut from nylon as opposed to cotton, this jacket features a hidden zipper with snap closure, four chest patch pockets and a soft lining. Instead of pawing around your local army surplus store, check out this jacket — with a sale this good, it won’t be around long. — John Zientek

Under Armour Spring Sale
Save 25%: Under Armour’s HeatGear was standard issue for all team practices — and while we’re no longer clamoring to buy some of that, UA still makes high-performing fitness apparel. The great news is that all spring workout gear is 25% off, and there are lots of options. Here are a few of our apparel and sneaker picks to get you started. — Meg Lappe

Glerups Slippers
Save up to 40%: As of last Tuesday, it’s officially spring, although depending on where you are, it may not feel like it. That means swapping beanies for caps and down parkas for rain jackets. It also might mean stashing your favorite winter slippers in the closet — it shouldn’t. Slippers are a year-round thing, especially when they’re as versatile and well-rounded as Glerups.

Glerups are family-made in Denmark with a mix of merino and Gotland wool that’s felted and stitched to either a calfskin or rubber sole. The resulting slipper is clean, modern, and fit for any occasion, and any season. Imagine: an early summer morning, freshly-brewed coffee, dew glittering in the grass. It’s a picture best enjoyed outside, in slippers that can handle the chill, preferably rubber-bottomed so they won’t get trashed. Even when such idyllic scenery isn’t on hand, Glerups make excellent around-the-house footwear, even in warmer temperatures.

Huckberry still has plenty of Glerups in stock in both slip-on and ankle boot profiles, most of which are currently 40 percent off, bringing them down to the lowest prices we’ve ever seen them. — Tanner Bowden

Huckberry Camp Sale
Save 20%: It’s never too early to start preparing for spring weather camping — after all, those days are right around the corner. Some of the necessities (tents, sleeping bags, blankets) are on sale for the next few days. Whether you’re looking to update your gear, or finally committing to something new, this sale is the place to start. Here are a few picks we’re excited about. — Meg Lappe

Fujiwara Kanefusa Kitchen Knives
Save 50%: The path to giving yourself better knives generally begins with a dull knife edge slipping, maybe on a bit of particularly slimy onion skin, into your fingertip. Once the realization that the knife set you were given ages ago isn’t cutting it anymore hits, new knives are in order. Do your finger a favor and skip the first step.

Japanese knifemaker Fujiwara Kanefusa weaves an 800-year old history of blade-making into affordable, gateway-level kitchen knives that are tough and, surprisingly, ergonomic. The Fujiwara Kanefusa FKM Series, which is on Massdrop for nearly half its usual cost, opts to employ a Western-style handle with an elevated back grip — this is a small but useful addition, as Japanese kitchen knives’ handles generally provide very little in the way of grip guidance, which can create a learning curve for those new to them. It’s made out of black pakkawood, a hardwearing material typical of knives meant for daily use. The blade’s Rockwell rating (a scale that measures hardness) of 55-58 is also a few degrees tougher than the Victorinox Fibrox, another immensely popular entry-level knife, and on the same level as what you’d expect from a survival knife. As someone whose sliced, diced, chopped out three years worth of meals with the Santoku model, I can fully attest to its durability.

The deal has five days left and will ship mid-to-late April. It includes the Petty ($36), Santoku ($46) and Gyuto-style ($51) knives (choose your preference at checkout). — Will Price

PolyScience x Breville The Smoking Gun Pro
Save $40: The product of a collaboration between kitchenware giant Breville and kitchenware innovator PolyScience, the Smoking Gun Pro is a Swiss Army knife of flavor. You can load the device with virtually any material that produces unharmful, flavorful smoke — dried flowers, wood chips, teas, herbs, small fruits, etc. — and squeeze it into recipes. The handheld tool features a temperature-adjusting dial, easy self-standing and a one piece smoke chamber that’s exceedingly simple to clean.
The Smoking Gun Pro, which normally retails for $150, is on sale for $113 on Amazon right now. — Will Price

Samsung Gear S3
Save $115: Samsung still doesn’t make a better, bigger and more rugged smartwatch than the Gear S3. Released in 2016, the Gear S3 has a wonderful rotating bezel, an IP68 waterproof rating, and a built-in heart-rate monitor and GPS tracker. Plus, with built-in LTE, you can completely ditch your phone and still answer calls and texts. Obviously, you shouldn’t buy the Gear S3 is you have an iPhone, but for Android users — and especially those with Samsung’s newer smartphones — the Gear S3 is a fantastic smartwatch. And now you can get it get a great deal on it.

You can save up to 65 percent on styles from Canada Goose, Rocky Mountain Featherbed, Nigel Cabourn and more. You might not get much wear out of it this season, but you’ll be prepared for whatever next year has in store. — John Zientek

LG C7P OLED TV
Save $300: The C7P is LG’s flagship OLED TV. It has the same stunning 4K picture quality as the brand’s high-end W7 OLED, just without the wallpaper-thin design and extremely high price tag. We also selected it as one of the best OLED TVs in 2017. It’s an excellent TV to consider if you’re looking to make the jump to OLED, and eBay is currently offering a 55-inch C7P for $1,399 — that’s $300 less than what it’s going for on Best Buy. If you’re looking for a bigger TV, you can buy the 65-inch C7P on eBay for $2,099, which is also significantly less than what it’s going for on Best Buy ($2,600) and Amazon ($2,597).

Save $167: Made of weather-resistant Japanese ripstop nylon and assembled in North America, Coldsmoke’s Alpha Lite pullover is filled with insulation “originally developed for U.S. Special Forces.” It’s a slimmer-fitting (sizing up is recommended) shirt that’ll work as a mid- or outer layer. I’ve been eyeing this guy for awhile, and now that it’s dipped well below half its original price, it may be time to act. I’m especially partial to the colorway — the dark navy, black and cream combo is unique enough to catch my eye every time. — Nick Caruso

Complete outfits are available for rent (depending on the occasion), and the brand offers a free two-day home try-on program along with free replacements if your order doesn’t fit perfectly. Now with the code GP20, you can save $20 on your rental until April 22. It’s never too early to start planning for spring graduations or summer weddings, so before settling on a polyester get-up from the big-box store, check out the refined options from the Black Tux. — Gear Patrol

Filson Quilted Mile Marker Jacket
Save 30%: Seattle-based Filson has set the bar for no-B.S. outdoor garments for over 120 years. Its outerwear pairs functional designs with durable materials made to stand up to years of constant use. As the weather transitions and temperatures are too warm for the brand’s Double Mackinaw Cruiser, consider wearing the Quilted Mile Marker jacket. The jacket is lightweight, water-repellent and abrasion-resistant, and features three front pockets, a nylon lining and a moleskin-lined collar. It’s made in the USA, and now for a limited time, it’s 30 percent off. — John Zientek

Smartwool Socks
Save 50%: Whether you hike, bike, ski or run, you need a sturdy pair of socks to make every outdoor experience enjoyable. No one likes cold toes. These Smartwool socks, made from merino wool are virtually indestructible meaning they’ll last for years. All socks are 20 to 50% off, so you’ll get a great deal and a superb sock. — Meg Lappe

Columbia River Knife and Tool 5500 K.I.S.S.
Save 20%: There’s not much more you can do to a folder to make it more simple. The basic architecture is a handle, blade and clip — what more is there to do? Well, if Columbia River Knife and Tool went any further with the K.I.S.S., they wouldn’t have a knife at all. The blade folds down, sealing the cutting edge against the one piece handle. Like most other folding blades, a thumb stud is used for a one-handed open action and stopping the blade is an integrated frame lock. At this point, the clip almost feels like an excess. Keeping with the theme of ‘less is more,’ you can now get the CRKT K.I.S.S. at 20% off. — Bryan Campbell

Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Waxed Trucker Jacket
Save $55: Waxed canvas predates GORE-TEX as one of the original waterproof materials. The discovery of the material’s rough weather potential came when sailors noticed that wet sails caught wind better than dry sails, and decided to preemptively apply oil to their canvas to make it less permeable. Soon they began cutting sheets from these oiled sails and sewed them into jackets, which, while not perfect, provided an ideal layer against rain and ocean spray.

Now, manufacturers create waxed canvas garments through a process that impregnates cotton with paraffin wax, which yields better water resistance and less color fading. The waxed canvas jacket, once standard attire for sailors, soldiers and outdoorsmen, has mostly been replaced with lighter synthetic materials, but it still maintains its place as a workwear staple and weatherproof style piece.

Flint and Tinder’s Waxed Trucker Jacket stays true to the original style of waxed canvas jackets. It’s made with Martexin seven-ounce sailcloth that’s cut to waist length, in keeping with traditional trucker jacket style. It also contains hand pockets, a chest pocket and metal buttons. The Waxed Trucker goes beyond the typical canvas design with a flannel-lined interior, which makes it the perfect outer layer for the variable weather that accompanies the onset of Spring. Right now, it’s also 25 percent off, which is its lowest price yet. — Tanner Bowden

Staub Braise and Grill Pan
Save 50%: If you’re not familiar with Staub perhaps the quickest indicator of their quality is they are Le Creuset’s largest direct competitor in the world of premium enameled cast-iron. Simpler clean-up and a wider array of cooking options, enameled cast-iron is ideal if you’re looking for cookware that will last and won’t demand extra attention (you don’t need to season enameled cast-iron). The grill pan itself acts as a fitted lid in this instance, and is easily removed when necessary. Prized for heavy-duty durability, Staub’s cookware is cast and twice enameled-coated, and is more resistant to chips and cracking because of it. The Braise and Grill typically retails for a whopping $400 — it’s 50 percent off on Sierra Trading Post right now. — Will Price

Alpinestars Quick Seal Out Two-Piece Rain Suit
Save 20%:Having a rain suit that fits over your riding gear will be a crucial asset in the coming months. Luckily, the Alpinestars Quick Seal Out Two-Piece Rain Suit is on sale just in time. We just got hammered with another nor’easter, but if forecasts are to be believed, it looks like real spring weather is just a week or two away. What that means, though, is you can expect the snow to turn to slush and as soon as that’s gone, sporadic rain showers will be the next annoyance. — Bryan Campbell

Defy Bags
Save 15%: A brand based in Chicago, Defy, makes some of the toughest bags available, but you might not know it from first glance. The all-black bags have a minimalist-look, yet stand up to serious endeavors. Each is hand-made with the same material that the troops use today — waterproof 22 oz. M35 military truck tarpaulin. Today, the Bucktown Backpack, Ultimate Overnighter, and R&R Weekender are all 15% off. — Meg Lappe

Save 25%: Huckberry’s house brand Myles Apparel has given the sweatpant a much-needed refresh.

Now at Zappos, you can save 30 percent on the Sutton style which features a leather shaft, suede foot and understated decorative stitching. The boots are lined with smooth leather, include a cushioned leather insole and have a leather outsole with a rubber heel cap. If you want quality Texan-made boots for a good price, don’t pass these up. — John Zientek

Eddie Bauer Performance Fleece
Save 50%: Winter, at least on the East Coast, is having a revival of sorts. Performance fleece is the jacket you need to stay warm. Today all clearance items are an extra 50% off with code RAINIER. Here are a few picks to get you started. — Meg Lappe

Patagonia Torrentshell Rain Jacket
Save up to 25%: Spring’s arrival signals a change in daylight hours and precipitation and with that transition comes a requisite adjustment of wardrobe: you’re going to need a rain jacket. And if you’re still wearing a heavy plastic rain slicker that causes you to overheat and sweat as soon as your heart begins to beat then take the opportunity of a new year and a new season to upgrade.

Lightweight, breathable water protection is within reach thanks to a deal that’s running right now on Patagonia’s Torrentshell Rain Jacket. The Torrentshell has been Patagonia’s staple rain shell for years and has garnered numerous awards, even earning the top spot on The Wirecutter’s list of “The Best Everyday Rain Jacket.” Patagonia constructed the Torrentshell with its proprietary H2No waterproof membrane and a 50-denier ripstop polyester face fabric to create a jacket with a final weight of 12 ounces. The Torrentshell is also equipped with hand pockets, a deep hood, and zippered underarm vents in case things get toasty.

If you’re looking to save 25% on the Torrentshell, head to Backcountry and select from the colors marked “past season.” Then again, if you’re in dire need of a rain shell and the older styles don’t pique your interest, the Torrentshell is definitely a coat worthy of its full price. — Tanner Bowden

Levi’s Heavy Cotton Canvas Trucker
Save 50%: The Levi’s Trucker is a classic jacket silhouette that’s perfect for transitional weather. If you’re looking for a denim alternative, the brand offers a version cut from durable cotton canvas. It features button-flap chest pockets, welt hand pocket and a zipper closure. It’s a hard-wearing jacket that will last you for years, and now at Zappos, it’s 50 percent off. — John Zientek

G&L Limited Edition Tribute ASAT Classic Guitar
Save 20%: In 1979, legendary electric guitar designer Leo Fender started G&L with two former Fender executives. With his new brand, Fender improved upon his iconic designs with better pickups, bridges and construction. More recently, the brand established its Tribute series, offering affordable takes on the upgraded instruments. Now at Musician’s Friend, you can get the $500 G&L Limited Edition Tribute ASAT guitar for just $400. This Tele-style guitar features an ash body, G&L-designed alnico pickups, individual brass saddles and a maple neck. If you’ve been wanting the bright, crisp sound of a Telecaster, this reasonably-priced option should be at the top of your list. — John Zientek

Alchemy Equipment Top Load Daypack
Save 40%: New Zealand is one of those Goldilocks-zone places where one might ski, surf or hike in the morning and still make it to the office in time for a mid-afternoon meeting. The city to mountain trend is real because of places like New Zealand, where gear transitions between urban and backcountry environments every and perhaps multiple times per day. It’s no wonder that Alchemy Equipment, based in the largest city on the country’s South Island, has managed to create a backpack that truly adapts to any backdrop.

Alchemy Equipment’s 35-liter Top Load Daypack is built like a hiking pack with a sturdy hipbelt and shoulder straps, a lid-style top, side compression straps and heavy-duty ripstop Kodra fabric. The Daypack’s urban-oriented features include a laptop sleeve and seat belt-style straps. But the way in which Alchemy has stylized these components gives the bag a subtle, decidedly non-outdoor look (a lot of black helps, too).

Right now the Daypack can be had on Backcountry for $168, which is 40 percent less than it’s full price. — Tanner Bowden

Grenson Declan Chelsea Boot
Save 25%: For warm weather, suede Chelsea boots are one of the most versatile options for your wardrobe. The slim silhouette can be dressed up with slacks and blazer or dressed down with faded jeans and a T-shirt. Suede adds an element of texture to your outfit and, like other leather, ages gracefully. The British-made Declan Chelsea boots from Grenson feature a snuff suede upper and a leather sole. Now at Todd Snyder, they’re available in half-sizes from 8 to 12 and are 25 percent off. — John Zientek

Huawei Mate 10 Pro
Save $100: The Huawei Mate 10 Pro is an excellent smartphone. It has a huge and beautiful screen, fast processor and a Leica-branded, dual-camera system. In fact, Android Authority named it the “Best Android of 2017,” beating out the Galaxy Note 8 — and now you can get a great deal on it. The Huawei Mate 10 Pro is available on Amazon and Best Buy for $700 — that’s $100 off. The deal lasts through March 24. — Tucker Bowe

Tumi McCoy Gym Bag
Save $99: Tumi’s McCoy gym bag is pricey, but it’s the last one you’ll ever need. Made from a durable ballistic nylon weave, the bag features a waterproof shoe compartment, exterior zip pockets and interior patch pockets.

Save $90: April showers are just around the corner, which means it’s time to bring out rain jackets and waterproof everything. These rugged nylon duffel bags from Mountain Hardwear protect from rain, snow and any inclement weather. — Meg Lappe

Xbox One X
Save $80: Like the Nintendo Switch, it’s been nearly impossible to find a good deal on the Xbox One X since it’s such a new console. However, if you go on Monoprice right now you can get an Xbox One X for just $420. That’s $80 less than everywhere else you’re going to look. This is one of the first times we’ve seen a deal on the Xbox One X. — Tucker Bowe

MSR Hubba NX Tents
Save $110: If any tent could be considered a modern classic, it might just be the Hubba Hubba. MSR’s experience designing tents goes way back — its first shelter debuted in 1973. It built the Hubba Hubba for lightweight backpacking but constructed it with enough space to keep even the once-in-a-while camper will be comfortable. That’s largely a result of an innovative single-unit pole design that stretches the interior walls wide and lifts the tent ceiling at the same time. The result being that the two-person Hubba Hubba is 43 cubic feet in volume, weighs just under four pounds and packs down smaller than most sleeping bags. That makes the tent light enough for multi-day treks and spacious enough for a weekend music festival.
The two-person Hubba Hubba NX is currently marked down by $110 on Massdrop, along with its one-, three- and four-person counterparts. Massdrop is even giving the discount to those interested in the even lighter Fast and Light versions of the Hubba series, which are lighter and smaller than the already-proven classic. — Tanner Bowden

DeWalt 118 Piece Mechanics Tool Set
Save 40%: The hardest part of any home mechanic or DIY project is actually starting the damn thing. Having the right tools for the job before you set out is also a pretty good idea. If you want a good jumping off point, DeWalt 118 piece Mechanics Tool Set is a good place to start. Not only do you get 118 sockets, wrenches and Allen keys, but you’ll also be saving 40% in the process. — Bryan Campbell

Allen Edmonds Leather Dopp Kit
Save 43%: If you’re in need of a quality Dopp kit, Allen Edmonds has you covered. Made in the USA, it is cut from full-grain leather, includes a YKK zipper and is lined with water repellant, stain resistant nylon. It’s the ideal size for travel and now on the brand’s site, it’s 43 percent off. — John Zientek

Hanwag Hiking Boots
Save up to 50%: Hanwag’s expertise in bootmaking goes all the way back to 1919 when Hans Wagner learned how to double stitch boots in Munich, Germany. Two years later he opened a shoemaking workshop in the Bavarian town of Vierkirchen, where Hanwag continues to make some of the finest and most durable hiking boots available. Even now that machines have come to aid the gnarled hands in producing each pair of Hanwag boots, the quality remains.
That quality comes at a price — a price that can climb as high as $500 — but right now there’s a fair selection of discounted Hanwags available for 50 percent off at Mountain Steals. Stand-outs in the offering are the Lhasa, a yak leather trekking boot with a Vibram sole, and the Patoja, which Hanwag built with nubuck for year-round wear. — Tanner Bowden

PF Flyers Center Lo
Save $10: It’s hard to beat the casual versatility of canvas sneakers for warm weather. As winter transitions into spring, it’s worth investing in a fresh new pair to break in before the dog days of summer. If Cons or Vans aren’t your style, check out this blacked-out pair from PF Flyers. They feature a rugged canvas upper, vulcanized rubber outsole and detailing unique to the brand. For a limited time at Zappos, they’re $10 off. — John Zientek

Hamilton Intra-Matic
Save 36%: Hamilton’s retro-inspired Intra-Matic is a throwback to a thin dress watch the brand made back in the 1960s and one of our favorite mechanical timepieces under a grand. While this new version is on the large side of things at 42mm, it’s a spot-on reproduction of the original watch, thanks to a slim case, thin automatic movement and a handsome, brushed steel dial. Normally the Intra-Matic retails for $945 but Macy’s has it marked down to $803. What’s more, when you use the code VIP at checkout, you’ll save an addition 25 percent and score this handsome mechanical dress watch for just $602. — Andrew Connor

Incase City Compact Backpack
Save $35: Carrying a briefcase has become an antiquated practice, especially with the other options out there, namely backpacks. A work backpack is pretty useless unless it’s durable with an easy-to-access laptop pocket and comfortable to wear. Incase City Compact Backpack fits the bill and the gunmetal grey color is on sale now for 35% off. — Meg Lappe

KEF Q100 Bookshelf Speakers
Save $250: The KEF Q100s are some the best bookshelf speakers you can find. Their excellent clarity and soundstage push way beyond their normally $550 asking price — and now that price has been nearly halved. You can find the Q100s for $300 on Best Buy and Amazon. If you’re looking for some passive bookshelf speakers to hook up to your home’s stereo system, consider these an audiophile-grade option that’s actually affordable. — Tucker Bowe, Staff Writer

Sinkevich Carbon Fiber KVT by Zero Tolerance Knives
Save 25%: When it comes to EDC, being compact, durable and lightweight are key features. Most pocket knives, buy design already check those boxes, but the Sinkevich Carbon Fiber KVT by Zero Tolerance Knives goes above and beyond. While the blade is S35VN steel with a matte black finish, the handle is a combination of carbon fiber and titanium, making the Sinkevich supremely lightweight. Today on Huckberry, not only can you save some weight with a new EDC knife, but you can also save some cash because the Sinkevich Carbon Fiber KVT by Zero Tolerance Knives is 25% off for a total savings of $45. — Bryan Campbell

Victorinox Fibrox 8-Inch Chef’s Knife
Save 33%: The Victorinox Fibrox 8-inch Chef’s Knife is a low-maintenance, do-it-all kitchen knife that you can buy for the price of two movie tickets. The knife’s popularity is earned from its usage by professional line cooks looking for an affordable, effective blade that won’t cause moping if ruined (if that even happens — mine is going strong through two years of unruly abuse). The ever-so-slightly curved Fibrox handle works well for handle-grippers and thumb-grippers alike, and it’s entirely dishwasher safe. The Victorinox is the internet’s favorite knife — and for $30, about $10 cheaper than its average Amazon price, you’re getting a time-tested kitchen tool that will do what you need it to. –Will Price

Rare Japanese Whiskies
Save 20%: A gift for your boss’s birthday? Early Father’s Day shopping? An extra-long week ahead of you? Whatever your reason or justification, taking the form of 20 percent off their entire collection of rare bottles, the Japanese whisky sellers at Dekanta have provided the perfect diving board into East Asia’s buzzing brown spirit market. Their entire collection includes more than 800 different whiskies running from as low as the cost of a pair of sunglasses ($100) to as high a decent used car ($7,200). Sale standouts include an 18-year distilled in the shadow of Mount Fuji, a popular but decidedly old-school blend and a bottle whose origin is so mysterious no one even knows where or for how long it was distilled. — Will Price

My All-Time Favorite Leather Mitten Is On Sale Today
Save 25%: I remember the first time I pulled on Hestra’s Fall Line Mitten. It was at Keystone two years ago, and the minute I felt the puppy-soft loft leather, I was hooked. They’ve been my go-to mitten ever since, and have kept my hands toasty warm from the streets of New York City to mountain summits in Colorado. If you’re unfamiliar with Hestra, the Swedish brand has been making leather gloves since 1936, and continues to make the finest leather gloves for outdoor pursuits on the market. Today, you can score Hestra’s Fall Line mitten for 25% off its retail price in the Flame Red colorway. — AJ Powell

Nike Metcon DSX Flyknit
Save $40: The Nike Metcons are classic because they work well and look cool in gyms, boxes and studios. Grab a pair of Nike Metcon DSX Flyknit Training shoes for $40 off the original $160 price. They’re built to help you lift heavier, balance better and grip longer throughout any workout. — Meg Lappe

Breville Fast Slow Pro
Save $30: The confusingly named Breville Fast Slow Pro can do what Instant Pots do, just better. Beyond the all-in-one cooking appliance feature you expect — sear, pressure cook, slow cook, sautee, steam, reduce and so on — the Breville device beats out its competitors by virtue of a dual-sensor temperature gauging system. The sensors are placed at the top and bottom of the machine and source temperature data from both to more accurately record cooking temperatures, and is able to alter its cooking course based on that. An easy-reading LCD display and the backing of a home cooking staple like Breville doesn’t hurt either. — Will Price

Interested in Titanium Folding Knives? Here’s the Perfect One to Start Your Collection.
Save 66%: When it comes to folding knives, titanium is about as quality a handle material as you can get. It’s light, strong and develops a beautiful patina over time. If you’ve never used one, there couldn’t be a better time to start. Right now on Massdrop, you can pick up Kizer’s Ki4497 Wakulla titanium liner lock knife for just $90. That’s roughly 66% off its retail price. The Ki4497 is a collaboration with Florida-based knifemaker Steve Jernigan, features a 3.5-inch blade and weighs in at 3.8 ounces. For an entry into titanium folding knives, it couldn’t be more perfect. — AJ Powell

LG C7P 4K OLED TV (65-inch)
Save $2,900: Right now you can buy a brand new 65-inch C7P, which is LG’s flagship OLED TV, on eBay for just $2,099. When it just was announced in February 2017, that same 65-inch C7P TV would have cost $4,999. Yes, the TV is a year old, but it’s also incredible. We selected it as one of the best OLED TVs in 2017 because it has the same 4K picture quality as the brand’s high-end W7 OLED, just without the wallpaper-thin design and even more ludicrous price. — Tucker Bowe

Olympus E-M5 Mark II
Save $440: Even though the Olympus E-M5 Mark II has been around for a few years — since 2015 — it’s still an excellent compact camera. It has a 16-megapixel Micro Four-Thirds sensor, electronic viewfinder and excellent built-in optical image stabilization, all while being packed in a body with retro charm. The main downside is that it can’t shoot 4K video. Usually, the E-M5 Mark II goes for $1,100 (body only), but right now on Mass Drop you can get it for $660 — that’s $440 off. If you go on Amazon, the same camera is $799. — Tucker Bowe

Seiko Presage Cocktail Time
Save 25%: The “Cocktail Time” has been a cult-favorite amongst Seiko enthusiasts since it first launched in 2010 thanks to its brilliant guilloche dial, mechanical movement and low price tag. Though the watch was initially only intended for the Japanese market, the brand refreshed the watch last year and made it available worldwide. Right now Macy’s is offering the revised Cocktail Time at a 25 percent discount, putting your cost of entry to this already well-priced dress watch at only $319.

Victorinox Swiss Army Spartan PS Pocket Knife
Save $40: Boost your EDC with this Victorinox Swiss Army Spartan PS pocket knife complete with a wire stripper and corkscrew. A Polispectral finish on the stainless steel construction gives the multitool a mirror-smooth finish, which looks cool, and the 12 functions are an upgrade to the seven on the original. It’s about an ounce and a half heavier, but your back pocket should be able to handle it. Get one today for $40 off. — Meg Lappe

Amazon Fire TV Stick and 4k Fire TV Stick
Save Up To $25: Amazon is offering both of their streaming media-player USB sticks at significant savings right now, so long as you’re a Prime Member. The standard HD Fire TV Stick is down to $24.99 (from $39.99) and the 4K Ultra HD Fire TV stick can be had for $44.99 (normally $69.99). Basically, if you ever stream anything on your TV, these things are a great buy. They work perfectly and seamlessly, and if you don’t own a smart TV already, you’ll feel like some sort of futuristic sci-fi space captain in an instant. My recommendation: don’t wait — make it so. — Nick Caruso
