Today’s Best Deals: Savings on a Device for Less Distracted Sleep, a Big Motorcycle Helmet Sale & More

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

A lot of us have issues staying asleep, tossing and turning all through the night, but a good night sleep is crucial for our health and well-being. When in fitful sleep, it can be easy to grab your phone or check the time to see if you should just get up and start the day. That is why Mark Zuckerberg came up with a concept to help his wife’s sleep and shared his idea in a Facebook post — of course. Based on his idea, Zucklight was created — a sleep box designed to help you sleep through the night without distractions. The concept is simple, a small sleep box emits a faint light during specific periods of the night — all set through an intuitive smartphone app — to notify whether you can try to get some more shut-eye or it’s time to wake up. So if you happen to wake up in the middle of the night, you can return to sleep without having to check the time. You can grab the Zucklight in three different models that include a wireless charging station, environmental sensors and even a sound system, so it can perfectly fit your needs. Right now, you can get up to 50% off if you pre-order through Zucklight’s Kickstarter campaign.

Orient Mako XL Dive Watch
Save 55%: Japanese brands continuously offer great value for money with respect to watches. Take the Orient Mako XL Automatic dive watch as a case in point: you get an in-house, 21-jewel automatic movement with 40 hours of power reserve, a stainless steel 44.5mm case, a mineral crystal, steel bracelet, day-date display, unidirectional rotating bezel, 200m of water resistance, and the choice of 5 dial colors: black with black bezel, black with green bezel, blue with blue bezel, black with orange bezel and vaguely-yellowish-greenish-mintish with black bezel (+$15). And all this for $145 right now on Drop. — Oren Hartov

Tumi Luggage
Save 33%: Good luggage is worth investing in. Not only will it keep your possessions safe and secure, but it will also reduce stress while traveling (read: no more struggling with awkward bags). Take the Tumi V3 International Carry-On: It has an incredibly lightweight design with 360-degree swiveling wheels and an impact-resistant X-Brace 45 telescoping handle. Featuring an interior U-zip pocket and a hanger bracket, this suitcase is water-resistant and has a two-way zip closure with an integrated TSA lock. Normally $595, you can pick it up for 33 percent off today at Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale — that means it’s just $398. And, if you’d rather have a bag with a cloth shell, the sale also features two great options from the Alpha 3 collection starting at $502. — John Zientek

Seiko “Samurai” SRPC07
Save 50%: A distinctive angular case and legible dial have made the Samurai is one of Seiko’s most popular watch families. This version has a popping dial in a bright orange to brighten up your wrist, and it’s capable enough for even the roughest or wettest activities this summer with 200 meters of water-resistance. A strong value at its normal retail price of $525, the Seiko “Samurai” SRPC07 is currently going for half that on Amazon. You won’t find it for much less. — Oren Hartov

Stasher Reusable Snack Bag
Save 20%: Since their debut in 2016, Stasher’s self-sealing platinum silicone bags have garnered widespread recognition, including Red Dot and Global Innovation awards. The airtight bags are microwave-, freezer- and dishwasher-safe, and they’re suitable (if not ideal) for use during sous-vide cooking. Right now, save 20 percent on the snack-sized bags — perfect for half-used lemons, overnight marinades and all the healthy snacks you wish you brought to work today. — Gear Patrol

Incredible High-End Motorcycle Helmet Sale
Save Up to 53%: Your motorcycle gear isn’t something to take for granted. What you wear when you ride can literally save your skin, so it’s worth investing a little extra money to make sure you’re protected as well as possible.
However, while the motorcycle lifestyle can have a tantalizingly low cost of entry compared to owning a car, buying the necessary protective clothing — pants, jackets and especially helmets — can quickly run up a steep tab, making the cheaper, lesser options more attractive, even if they may not be quite as good.

Right now, however, is the time to upgrade your head protection if there ever was one. Right now over at Revzilla, there’s an insane sale on top-of-the-line motorcycle helmets. You can save up to $700 on select top-tier motorcycle helmets from brands like AGV, Schuberth and Bell. If you’ve always wanted the performance and protection from one of the best motorcycle helmets available today (and really, why wouldn’t you want that?), now’s your chance to save a few hundred dollars and upgrade your lid game at the same time. — Bryan Campbell

Classic Adidas Sneakers
Save up to 35%: If you’re a fan of classic Adidas sneakers, head over to End today. Currently, you can save up to 35 percent on the Stan Smith, the Trimm Trab and the Handball Spezial, among others. There are plenty of sizes still in stock, but don’t wait — with prices starting at $59, these will be gone soon. — John Zientek

Outerknown Tees
Save up to 70%: It’s never a bad time to pick up a new t-shirt. And now during Outerknown’s Summer Sale, you can save up to 70 percent on some essential options. Choose from a range of colors and styles — prices start at $15. — John Zientek

Marmot Rain Jacket Sale
Save 35%: Marmot’s PreCip jacket is one of the best rain jackets available for less than $100. And now, you can pick one up today for 35 percent off. The fully seam-sealed jacket packs up into its own pocket so you can easily toss in a hiking bag or weekender to fend off any future storms. A NanoPro membrane is Marmot’s environmentally-friendly alternative to DWR that’s still breathable. If you need a lightweight and easy to store rain jacket, now’s the best time to buy one that you’ll have for years to come. — Meg Lappe

Foehn Brise Short
Save 20%: Foehn may describe itself as a rock climbing apparel company, and it may have come together when its designer-founder, Anthony Boronowski, sought a pair of pants that skillfully combined style and function. But Foehn’s products have always been for much more than scaling granite walls — its Nelson pant is stylish enough for city wear, and its Robson Down Hoody is perfect for winter commuting. The same is true for the company’s newest product, the Brise Short.

The Brise Short channels the same design philosophies that Boronowski demanded of his first pants: that they be as functional as possible while sacrificing nothing in terms of style. So he made the shorts using a four-way stretch fabric, a comfortable waistband, laser-cut, bonded hems. That taped zipper pocket on the thigh is accessible while wearing a climbing harness but also serves as a handy place to stash anything you don’t need at your side. I’ve been wearing these shorts all summer and have yet to rope up in them. Instead, I lounge in them, run in them, travel in them and wear them to work. They’ve also become my go-to for hiking. — Tanner Bowden

Today’s Best Deals: Outerknown’s Big Summer Sale Continues, a Pocket Knife Clearance & More

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

Seiko Samurai Dive Watch
Save 25%: Many watch enthusiasts cut their teeth on mechanical Seiko dive watches because they are some of the best values in the watch industry. Take, for example, this Prospex SRPB55 “Samurai.” It’s has a full 200-meter depth rating (meeting ISO’s standard for divers), an in-house automatic movement, a waffle-textured dial and a case with a black ion finish. Yet you can get all of this for just $525 — except right now on Amazon, the watch is selling at a 25 percent discount, meaning you can get this hard-hitting diver for only $394. — Oren Hartov

4 Beautiful Pocket Knives Are on Sale
Save up to $59: There’s no shame in buying a knife just because it’s good-looking. Luckily, these ones are also practical, and significantly discounted. — Tanner Bowden



Wardrobe Essentials from Outerknown
Save up to 60%: California-based clothing brand Outerknown makes some of our favorite wardrobe staples. Its laid back threads are easy to integrate into your daily wardrobe and will quickly become the first things you reach for in the morning. Now during the brand’s Summer Sale, you can save up to 60 percent on a huge selection of clothing. Pick from shirts, pants, shorts and more — deals start at just $9. — John Zientek


G&L Limited Edition Tribute ASAT Electric Guitar
Save 40%: In 1979, legendary electric guitar designer Leo Fender started a new brand called G&L with two former Fender executives. His goal was to improve upon Fender’s iconic designs with better pickups, bridges and construction. More recently, the brand established its Tribute series, offering affordable takes on the upgraded instruments.

Today at Guitar Center, you can pick up a G&L Limited Edition Tribute ASAT Classic Ash Body guitar for 40 percent off at Guitar Center, this $500 guitar costs just $300. It’s practically a steal, so act fast — the deal will be gone before you know it. — John Zientek

Dainese Misano D-Air Perforated Jacket
Save 48%: In case you hadn’t figured it out yet, motorcycles aren’t as safe as cars. No matter how much defensive and proactive riding we do, life on two wheels out on the open road is inherently more dangerous than driving. The best thing motorcycle riders can do to keep themselves safe, then, is wearing the right gear — an armored jacket, pants, boots and gloves — to stave off possible injury. Dainese took a giant leap forward with its top-of-the-line riding gear incorporating the D-Air system. And right now, you can get the Misano D-Air Perforated Jacket for $700 less than it normally costs.

Using a wireless airbag system, microprocessor, internal sensors and a GPS system, a D-Air equipped jacket can determine if an accident is imminent and deploy extra protection in less than 15 milliseconds to protect the riders shoulders, collarbone and body. The inflated airbags will also mitigate helmet roll in an accident, keeping your lid from making direct contact with the collarbone. It’s a technology only top-level MotoGP riders and racers had access to until recently, but now it’s available for street riding…and right now, it’s 41% off. — Bryan Campbell

Hydro Flask Journey Series Hydration Backpack
Save $60: When Hydro Flask, the maker of some of our favorite water bottles, revealed its first hydration backpack, we were impressed. We weren’t surprised though — it’s no shocker that a company focused on providing the best ways to carry water would do a pack justice. The Journey Series Hydration Pack uses a reflective neoprene sleeve to keep a full bladder cold for hours. Hydro Flask made the bag with a tough waterproof fabric, and it’s suspended with a comfortable mesh back panel that provides lots of airflow (to help your back from getting too sweaty). The pack is brand new this year, but as part of Huckberry’s summer clearance sale, you can pick one up for 30 percent off. — Tanner Bowden


Finex 12-Inch Cast-Iron Skillet
Save $66: Finex’s quirky, octagonal cast-iron skillets have earned the brand a larger following than any of its boutique cast-iron cookware competition. Beyond the famous eight corners, the pans are known for a perfectly smooth cooking surface, steel coil handle and above-average weight. The biggest knock against it? Steep retail prices. Today on Drop, get the 12-inch skillet (with a lid) for $66 less than its normal $275. — Will Price

Today’s Best Deals: Shinola’s First Headphones Are Silly Cheap, Great Kitchen Knives on Sale & More

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

Shinola Canfield Watch
Save 33%: If you like the look of a blacked out timepiece but aren’t necessarily into the whole “tactical” thing, then boy, do we have the watch for you. This PVD version of the Shinola Canfield features a 43mm case, Argonite 715 quartz movement, sapphire crystal, date window, coin-edge bezel, handsome grey dial and an American-made leather strap. Best of all, you can nab one for 33% off right now on Nordstrom.com, for a price of $469. — Oren Hartov

Arai Helmets
Save Up to $88: The world of legendary high-end racing apparel isn’t cheap, for plenty of good reasons. But for a limited time, buying an Arai helmet can be a bit more affordable: Right now, Triumph Brooklyn is now offering some of their lineup of Arai helmets at sale pricing.

According to the company’s own website, in 1976, Mitch Arai decided to take his family’s helmet company from an average gear maker into, in his words, “the number one helmet manufacturer in the world.” Arai was passionate about developing the safest helmet possible for racers, because the Arai family also raced. They set out to meet this goal by dedicating development to creating consistent shell strength and shape, as well as focusing on interior lining materials and stitching to better soak up any impending impact. All of this time and dedication to quality and racing culture has cemented Arai in the annals of motorsport over the last 40 years. And now, you can cement one of the company’s DT-X, XD-4 or Signet-X helmets on your head and save up to $88 in the process. — Peter Corn

Timex x Todd Snyder Blackjack Watch
Save Almost 30%: We were enthusiastic about the “Blackjack” watch when it first debuted, but in case you need a refresher, this is a sleek, automotive-inspired timepiece with cool “roulette wheel” dial done up in black and white, a black-finished case, 50m of water resistance, a quartz movement and a black Nato strap. The watch generally retails for only $138, but right now, you can nab it for just $99. — Oren Hartov

Goruck MACV-1 Boots
Save 20%: Goruck, a company founded by former US Special Forces soldier Jason McCarthy, is best known for its military-inspired everyday backpacks (its GR1 is our top pick in the category). Last fall, it released its first piece of footwear: the MACV-1, a boot inspired by those worn army operatives during the Vietnam War, updated for modern everyday and travel use.

Goruck designed the MACV-1 to be lightweight and durable with materials like premium full-grain leather, 1000-denier Cordura and a robust footbed. McCarthy enlisted Paul Litchfield, the inventor of the Reebok Pump, and Richard Rice, a Special Forces veteran, to get the boot to the middle ground between modern and military footwear. The boot is currently on sale — for the first time that we’ve seen — for 20 percent off. — Tanner Bowden

Laid-Back Onia Shorts
Save 85%: If you’ve been looking for some laid-back shorts to pull-on after work or wear on weekend mornings, head over to Nordstrom Rack today. Currently, some very comfy options from Onia are 85 percent off. Choose from a range of colors, but act fast — these $110 are just $17. — John Zientek

Ray-Ban Wayfarer Sunglasses
Save $98: In the world of sunglasses, it doesn’t get much more iconic than a pair of Ray-Ban Wayfarers. First released in 1956, the design has hardly changed in over half a century. If you’ve been wanting the style, but the list price is more than you want to spend, Nordstrom Rack has you covered; you can get a pair of $178 Wayfarers in either black or Havana for just $80. What’s more, these Italian-made shades also come with polarized lenses to protect your eyes all summer long — hard to beat that. — John Zientek

Shinola Canfield Over-Ear Headphones
Save a Helluva Lot: When Shinola released its first-ever headphones, the Canfield Over-Ear Headphones, in 2017, they were priced at a hefty $595. Since then, Shinola has gotten out of the headphone market and the only way to find its headphones is through third-party sites — and right now you can get them for pretty cheap. For instance, on Nordstrom Rack they are selling for just $85. That’s a hell of a discount. — Tucker Bowe

Patagonia Nano Puff Water Resistant Jacket
Save 25%: Sure, it’s hot out now, but fall will be here before we know it. So now’s the time to pick up a premium Patagonia jacket at a discount, courtesy of Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale, running through August 4th. A ton of quality items are marked down, but we are most stoked about this Nano Puff Water Resistant Jacket, available at a full 25 percent off. The lightweight, quilted garment boasts a weather-resistant ripstop shell, durable water-repellent finish and a nod to sustainability, thanks to recycled fabric and partially recycled PrimaLoft insulation. It warm and super compressible, making it the perfect travel piece once temps start to drop. — Steve Mazzucchi

Global G-2 Chef’s Knife
Save $36: Today on Drop, a whole lot of Global knives are on sale, including the G-2, its best all-around knife, which is marked down well below its usual price on Amazon. To access, click the “Buy” button and choose G-2 Chef’s Knife from the dropdown list. — Will Price

11-inch iPad Pro with LTE (Latest Model)
Save $200: Amazon is selling the latest 11-inch iPad Pro with cellular and 256GB of storage at its lowest price ever — it costs $1,099 on Apple’s website right now, but Amazon is discounting the same model by $200. The interesting thing is that Amazon is selling the same iPad Pro without cellular for the same price ($899), while Apple is currently selling that model for $50 more. Basically, if you’re thinking about getting an iPad Pro with cellular and you’re cool with the smaller model, now’s your time to shine. — Tucker Bowe

Seiko 5 SRPBX Watches
Save 62%: The Seiko 5 SRPBX series is being offered on Drop in 3 styles for $149, or 62% off its MSRP of $395. The SRPB features a countdown bezel, stainless steel 42mm case with 100m of water resistance, the automatic Seiko 4R36 movement with 41-hour power reserve, a date window at 4:30, a Hardlex crystal and a matching steel bracelet with fold-over clasp.

Tumi V3 International Carry-On Suitcase
Save 33%: Good luggage is worth investing in. Not only will it keep your possessions safe and secure, but it will also reduce stress while traveling (read: no more struggling with awkward bags). Take the Tumi V3 International Carry-On: It has an incredibly lightweight design with 360-degree swiveling wheels and an impact-resistant X-Brace 45 telescoping handle. Featuring an interior U-zip pocket and a hanger bracket, this suitcase is water-resistant and has a two-way zip closure with an integrated TSA lock. Normally $595, you can pick it up for 33 percent off today at Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale — that means it’s just $398. — John Zientek



Red Wing Engineer Boots
Save up to 49%: Minnesota-based bootmaker Red Wing has been making hardwearing footwear since 1905. The range of styles it produces are distinctly American: Moc-toe work boots with non-marking outsoles for factory workers, hefty oxfords designed for the postal service, pull-on roper boots appropriate for the ranch. It also makes a range of engineer boots which are now primarily sold in the Japanese and European markets.

Originally, engineer boots were designed to protect the feet of men who fed coals into steam engines. While engineer boots aren’t as prominent today as they once were, they’re no less rugged or functional. If you want to pick up a pair for yourself, head over to Nordstrom Rack, where a bunch of Red Wing engineer boots are half off right now. That means for as little as $170, you can add this well-worn style to your own wardrobe. — John Zientek

The North Face Anorak Sale
Save 24%: The virtues of a good anorak are often forgotten, but as soon as you slip into one that performs flawlessly, you can never go back to that flimsy full-zip. The North Face Fanorak Windbreaker is wind- and water-resistant, packable and lightweight. This jacket has kept me warm and dry through hiking trips to the White Mountains in New Hampshire, and exploring San Francisco in the summer. Right now, all colors of 90s-inspired Fanorak are 24 percent off at Backcountry. Some sizes are up to 41 percent off in limited colors, too. — Meg Lappe

Bose QuietComfort 35 (Series I)
Save $150: The Bose QC35 IIs are the company’s flagship wireless ANC headphones. They’re comfortable, sound superb and 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, you can save $150 by buying the first-generation headphones — the Bose QC35 (Series I) — on eBay. They’re refurbished models, granted, but eBay has a pretty lenient return policy. Also, great noise-canceling headphones for under $200 is a rare deal. — Tucker Bowe

rOtring 800 Retractable Mechanical Pencil
Save $7: This thoroughly over-built mechanical writing implement that will likely outlast whatever life-ending apocalypse finally destroys humankind. Our robot overlords will be drawing razor-sharp graphite lines and jotting notes well into the next epoch. Meantime, allow yourself a modest splurge and enjoy the rOtring 800 Retractable Mechanical Pencil for $7 off to normal asking price. — Nick Caruso

Arc’teryx Atom LT Hooded Insulated Jacket
Save $90: Arc’teryx specializes in high-performing and good-looking city to mountain gear, making it a favorite brand around the GP offices. Today you can save up to 40 percent on some award-winning jackets. One of the best synthetic down jackets of 2019, the Arc’teryx Atom LT, is currently on sale at Backcountry in addition to a plethora of other technical winter coats. Stock up now and stay warm come winter. — Meg Lappe

Picky Oats Oatmeal Sale
Save 20%: Fueling up for the day can be tough. Riders and runners know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, which is why many athletes reach for oatmeal. Everyone from Tour de France Riders to ultrarunners to climbers to kayakers love oatmeal — and Picky Oats Performance Oatmeal is a top pick. The combination of fiber, protein and fat makes for a meal that’s slow to digest, meaning you stay fuller for longer — and more energized. Today, you can save 20 percent off Picky Oats tasty oatmeal on The Feed.

All three flavors: Game, Set, Matcha, How ‘Bout Dem Apples and Can’t Beet Chocolate are all on sale today in honor of the Tour de France.

Whether you’re gearing up to bike 100 miles this weekend or just trying to get through the day, Picky Oats is a satisfying and filling way to start. — Meg Lappe

Seiko “Samurai” SRPC07 Dive Watch
Save 50%: A distinctive angular case and legible dial have made the Samurai is one of Seiko’s most popular watch families.

Gerber Jukebox Pocket Knife
Save 23%: Of all the reasons to buy a knife — size, steel quality, price and the rest — looks, beauty, often rises to the top. And it should. It’s okay to be vain when purchasing a tool that you plan to carry daily, to match it to your watch or wallet or to go in the opposite direction with something bizarre and unconventional. Gerber’s folding Jukebox might fit into either of those categories, and despite that it just came out this summer, it’s already on sale for 23 percent off.

The Jukebox’s 2.7-inch blade, which Gerber designed as an homage to the straight razors used by barbers, is accompanied by a distinct acrylic resin handle that comes in either tortoiseshell or marble. It has an extended flipper tab that creates a unique opening action and an integrated liner lock to hold it closed. These features, along with its sheepsfoot blade, ensure that it remains highly functional despite its overt showiness. The Jukebox doesn’t just go with the keys in your pocket; pair it with a bottle of Old Forester, vintage Ray-Bans, a custom Fender guitar or an Indian motorcycle. — Tanner Bowden

Orient Bambino Automatic Dress Watch
Save 53%: The Orient Bambino is a stalwart low-cost favorite amongst many watch enthusiasts for pairing an automatic, hacking and hand winding-capable movement with a clean, vintage-inspired design. You also get a nicely domed dial and crystal, and a date at 3 o’clock, all at a relatively low price. Drop currently has 5 different versions of the Bambino on sale starting at $139 with a couple of gold-toned iterations for just $10 more. — Oren Hartov

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

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

And, if you need something even easier to carry than a backpack strap-equipped duffel, Patagonia thought to use its Black Hole construction to make a wheeled suitcase. It comes with a 70-liter capacity that you can pack to the brim without worrying whether you’ll be able to get all your gear from A to B. This bag is also 25 percent off. — Tanner Bowden

It’s water-resistant to 200m and features a screw-down crown and case back. Once fully charged, the power reserve on the V157 movement lasts roughly 10 months. If mechanical watches aren’t your thing, then this PADI special edition could be your water watch this summer. — Oren Hartov

Fender Custom Shop Black Moon Telecaster
Save $2,000: The Fender Custom Shop Black Moon Telecaster features a 5a quilted maple top that’s carved to a 50-inch radius. The instrument — finished with transparent black nitrocellulose lacquer — features a 2-piece ash body with a carved neck heel, a quartersawn 22-fret maple neck with a modern C profile and a compound-radius ebony fingerboard with sterling silver “hollow dot” position inlays. Unlike traditional Teles, this guitar has two EVH Wolfgang humbuckers (the neck pickup has a push/pull coil split), a vintage-style Strat hardtail bridge and Schaller NOS tuners.

Originally listed for $8,000, this one-of-a-kind guitar is now 25 percent off and costs $6,000. If you’re looking for a truly unique Tele from a world-class builder, this is definitely worth considering — and if you’re in New York City and are contemplating the purchase, you can stop by Guitar Center and play it yourself. — John Zientek

The style features a Climacool Primeknit upper with Missoni’s iconic space-dying pattern, a sock-like collar and a co-branded tongue tag. And for additional visual interest, it has a mismatched 3-Stripes medial cage.

Function doesn’t suffer and the style has a knit heel cup, Torsion System, Boost midsole and Continental rubber outsole. Available in sizes 7 to 12, the silhouette comes in three colors and is now $100 cheaper than list price. So if you’re in the market for a new sneaker, don’t sleep on this — sizes will sell quickly. — John Zientek

AmazonBasics Kettlebell Sale
Save 40%: Kettlebells are a lifetime purchase — once you buy them, they’ll likely outlast you and your workouts. They’re an alternative to those pricey gym memberships, considering you can upgrade your home gym with just one KB. And when you realize that these essential fitness tools can be affordable, like AmazonBasics’ kettlebells, your home gym will be locked and loaded. Today, the AmazonBasics kettlebells are currently on sale for up to 27-percent off.

Crossfit has helped bolster kettlebells’ reputation as a must-have gym item and a dynamic alternative to dumbbells. They can be used to increase the results of rows, deadlifts and squats, and a properly-executed kettlebell swing can increase strength, speed and explosiveness. All this from a hunk of iron with a handle attached. AmazonBasics makes its kettlebells from cast iron and coats them in enamel for a smooth feel and appearance. Given that some kettlebells can cost as much as $200, it’s a considerable deal — Amazon’s kettlebells range from ten to 60 pounds and cost as little as $15. –Meg Lappe

Levi’s Denim Essentials
Save up to 75%: If you’ve been waiting for a chance to stock up on some solid wardrobe basics, head over to Levi’s today. Currently, you can save up to 75 percent on a huge range of clothing at the Premium Warehouse Sale. Choose from jeans, jackets, tees and more — the prices are hard to beat. — John Zientek

Seiko 5 Automatic Field Watch
Save 14%: Realistically, Seiko 5 watches rarely sell for retail, and the prices they effectively trade at are pretty damn low already. However, the SNK805, a sort of prototypical Seiko 5, is currently on sale for just $68, which is even less than it’s typical absurdly low price of seventy-something bucks. The SNK805 features a 37mm case, automatic Seiko movement with day-date display, a green dial and matching nylon strap and 30m of water resistance. With its mid-size case and military-inspired look, this Seiko 5 is the perfect summer “beater watch,” and at this price, it’s hard to argue against it. — Oren Hartov

Breedlove Pursuit Exotic Concert CE Acoustic Guitar
Save $200: Founded in 1990, Oregon-based Breedlove makes a range of high-end guitars designed for discerning players. Just look at the Pursuit Exotic Concert CE. It features a solid myrtlewood top, back and sides in Breedlove’s original body shape, and an African ebony fretboard and bridge. Myrtlewood is the brand’s most-used tonewood — it has the best tonal elements of rosewood, mahogany and maple — and grows along Oregon’s Pacific coast.

Designed for players, this guitar includes top-tier L.R. Baggs EAS electronics and a pinless bridge for easy string changes. And, the hand-rubbed, semi-gloss neck has a slim profile that is appropriate for many hand sizes. To top it off, the guitar features subtle neck inlays, a simple rosette and a tasteful binding.

Normally priced at a very fair $750, the Stage Series Concert E now costs just $550. That’s almost too good to be true, so if it catches your eye, act fast — savings like this won’t be around long. — John Zientek

Barebones Exclusive Woodsman Set
Save $25: Perhaps nothing is more frustrating than trying to do a tough job with the wrong tool, and that’s especially true in the outdoors, where getting that job done may mean the difference between a lively fire pit and wrapping yourself in every available garment to stay warm. Thankfully, Huckberry is selling the Barebones Exclusive Woodsman Set, featuring a Field Hatchet and Ultimate Tool, for $25 off. The hatchet boasts a four-inch blade of heavy-duty carbon steel, perfect for splitting wood. Meanwhile, the tool’s nearly 7-inch blade has both straight and serrated edges, ideal for tackling all kinds of cutting and sawing tasks. Together they present a formidable backwoods combination — one that ensures you’ll never be left out in the cold. –Steve Mazzucchi

Schuberth C4 Spark
Save 53%: Riding a motorcycle is a delight for the senses, but it can grow a little weary on the ears after a while. Between the roar of the wind rushing past and the drone of the engine, it doesn’t take long for the sounds of a ride to push into the irritation zone — or even start to cause causing hearing damage.

Of course, a good helmet can help offset those potentially-deafening noises. And right now, one of the quietest helmets on the market today—the Schuberth C4 Spark Helmet—is on sale for a massive 53 percent off at RevZilla. — Will Sabel Courtney

Samsung 4K TVs and Soundbars
Save Up to $1,500: Samsung is currently having a “Black Friday in July” sale where you can snag a pretty good deal on many of its newest TVs and soundbars. You can save up to $1,500 on select QLED 4K TVs and up to $1,000 on the Frame TVs; the best deals on obviously on some of its larger TVs (75-inches and up), but you still score several hundred bucks off a 55- or 65-inch TV. If you’re looking to build out your home theater system as well, you can save up to $300 on Samsung’s latest-and-greatest soundbars. — Tucker Bowe |

The cherry on top: you can buy the $450 vacuum directly from Dyson for just $330 today. — Jack Seemer

Today’s Best Deals: Instant Pot Savings Still Going Strong, Deals of Classic Fender Guitar Amps & More

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

Arc’teryx Jacket Sale
Save 40%: Arc’teryx specializes in a high-performing and good-looking city to mountain gear — making it a favorite brand around the GP offices. Today you can save up to 40 percent award-winning jackets. One of the best synthetic down jackets of 2019, the Arc’teryx Atom LT, is currently on sale at Backcountry in addition to a plethora of other technical winter coats. — Meg Lappe

Instant Pot Duo
Save $50: Prime Day may be over but Amazon is still running a ridiculous deal on the Instant Pot Duo, one of the best-selling items from the retailer’s two-day extravaganza earlier this week. Pick up the 6-quart size for just $50 — that’s half off.
Like more expensive models in the Instant Pot lineup — Ultra and Max models — the Duo can pressure cook, slow cook, steam and sautee. It doesn’t have an LCD display or a few more fringe preset cooking modes (sous vide), but the OG Instant Pot still boasts presets common foods like chili, yogurt, soup and so on. — Jack Seemer

Klipsch Speakers
Save Up to 50% Off: Klipsch is currently having its huge annual “Christmas in July” sale and you can find many of the company’s best products — including bookshelf speakers, Bluetooth speakers, outdoor speakers and a trove of home theater systems — at deeply discounted rates. A lot of these discounted speakers are up to 50-percent off. Check out all the deals on the company’s website by clicking the link below. — Tucker Bowe

Black Diamond Spot Headlamp
Save $15: If there’s one camping accessory to buy for summer, it’s a headlamp. And Black Diamond’s Spot, which is currently only $25 at Amazon (a 37 percent discount) is better than a safe bet. It’s simple, but don’t take that to mean it’s basic. The Spot uses three AAA batteries, is fully waterproof, and features a main light with 300 lumens of brightness. According to Black Diamond, it can shoot a beam of light 80 meters (262 feet), but we’re more impressed by how easily you can swap between its various modes (beam, flood, strobe, red night vision) and how its brightness is adjustable as necessary.

Black Diamond recently updated the Spot — it’s smaller, brighter and has a second button — and the model that’s on sale is the older one. At $25 (for the black colorway; other hues are a bit more), it’s still an excellent deal on a headlamp that we’ve considered to be the best for years. But if you have to have what’s new, the updated version is only $11 more (you can buy it here). — Tanner Bowden

Seiko Silvertone Solar-Powered Watch
Save 63%: Though we tend to focus on its mechanical timepieces, Seiko’s quartz-powered watches are equally compelling and offer a good value proposition. The Silvertone is solar-powered quartz watch with a 43mm case, a day-date complication, a 12-month power reserve, a matching bracelet and 100m of water resistance. If you’re looking for an inexpensive everyday watch, the Silvertone is discounted 63% right now on Amazon, down to $92. — Oren Hartov

Fender ’68 Reissue Guitar Amps
Save up to $156: Now at Guitar Center, you can save over $100 on a range of classic Fender guitar amps. The Silverface ’68 Custom reissue line — a Princeton, a Deluxe Reverb, a Vibrolux Reverb and a Twin Reverb — is currently discounted. These classic tube amps recreate styles from a transitional year in Fender’s amp production: the tones were classic Fender — warm and bell-like — but they were also noticeably dirtier than amps produced in the mid-‘60s. The amps also presented a new aesthetic with a silver-and-turquoise front panel and an aluminum grille-cloth trim. Rarely on sale, these amps have open-box discounts of up to $156 — hard to argue with that for brand-new gear. — John Zientek

Red Wing Heritage Moc Toe Boots
Save 36%:When you’re presented with the chance to save on Red Wing Heritage boots, you’d be foolish to pass it up. The brand’s boots are rarely on sale and when they are, sizes are often limited. But now at Nordstrom Rack, you can save up to 36 percent on a pair of classic Red Wing Heritage Moc-Toe boots available in sizes 7 to 11. This American-made style features Brown Boomer leather from the S.B. Foot Tanning Company in Minnesota and a non-marking outsole. What are you waiting for? — John Zientek

Seiko SNN241 Chronograph
Save 56%: This chrono features a larger 42.6mm steel case with a Japanese quartz movement powering two sub-dials — a 60-minute counter at 12 o’clock, and a running seconds sub-dial at 6 o’clock, as well as a date window. The SNN241 has a brown dial with Hardlex crystal and a matching contrast-stiched brown leather band with double-locking clasp. It’s also water-resistant to 100m, so while it’s splash-proof, it’s best to switch to a trusty dive watch for serious water sports. — Oren Hartov


Schuberth ED1 ADV Motorcycle Helmet
Save 65%: Properly putting your big adventure bike to the test means racking up hundreds if not thousands of miles — both on the road and off. For those types of rides, you need equipment that will not only go the distance itself, but make it easier for you to go that far. And few helmets can outgun the Schuberth E1 in that territory.

By putting the engineers to work in the aeroacoustics lab, Schuberth created some of the quietest helmets on the road — and in the E1’s case, off the road as well. Wind noise and lift are at an all-time minimum, even with the E1’s articulating sun visor made for off-road riding. The E1 also comes with a built-in antenna — ready for Schuberth’s SRC-System, which doubles as a GPS, and has Bluetooth connectivity and an intercom for communicating with your buddies out on the road.

It’s one of the most technologically advanced and comfortable helmets on the road, and it usually goes for close to $900. But right now it’s selling for a whopping 65% off, at just $300 — Bryan Campbell

The Fluid from Fuell aims to change the way we move around the city on two wheels. Designed by motorcyclist engineer Erik Buell — of Buell Motorcycle Company and Harley Davidson fame — this e-bike comes with a mid-drive Bofeili 500W pedal-assisted motor, giving it 100Nm of torque that offers cyclists a fast ride. The Fluid is also designed for the urban rider and is made from a custom aluminum alloy frame that keeps things sleek. Fuell also added a Gates Carbon belt drive system and a Shimano Alfine 8-speed geared hub for low maintenance. Two batteries provide the power allowing you to travel a staggering 125 miles on one charge — and reach an 80% charge in only two and a half hours. This is the ideal e-bike for city commuting. The Fluid is set to ship in September, but if you go ahead and back the bike now on Indiegogo you can snag 21 percent off.

Breville Barista Express Espresso Machine
Save $150: Among Breville’s line of espresso makers, the Barista Express stands out — it features all the additive performance features of its higher-priced siblings, but it’s the only all-in-one maker that’s not $1,000 or more. It’s got a built-in grinder and dose control, plus it’s operable in automatic and manual modes. The machine also employs an impressive milk wand and comes with all the ancillary parts needed to make it all go (tamper, milk jug, razor trim and so on).

Today on Amazon, Breville’s Barista Express is available for $150 off its $600 retail price. That’s easily the cheapest a new model has gone for. — Will Price

Save $98: In the world of sunglasses, it doesn’t get much more iconic than a pair of Ray-Ban Wayfarers. First released in 1956, the design has hardly changed in over half a century. If you’ve been wanting the style, but the list price is more than you want to spend, Nordstrom Rack has you covered; you can get a pair of $178 Wayfarers in either black or Havana for just $80. What’s more, these Italian-made shades also come with polarized lenses to protect your eyes all summer long — hard to beat that. — John Zientek

Lawnmowers, Leaf Blowers & Chainsaws

Lawncare gear from Dewalt, Makita, Stanley, Husqvarna is all marked down from 15 to 50 percent off retail prices and it all ships free. Who says post-Prime Day deals don’t exist? — Will Price

Breedlove Stage Series Concert E Acoustic Guitar
Save 40%:I never thought I’d type this: Right now, you can get a ridiculously good deal on a great acoustic guitar at — wait for it — Target. That’s not hyperbole and I still can’t believe it. On the mega-store’s site, you can pick up a Breedlove Stage Series Concert E guitar for 40 percent off — that’s savings of $330.

Founded in 1990, Oregon-based Breedlove makes a range of high-end guitars designed for discerning players. The Stage Series Concert E is no exception.

The General Purpose field watch features tritium tube illumination on the hands and a 34mm case. While this may sound small by modern standards, the watch wears extremely well and its 12mm depth offsets somewhat the smaller width. — Oren Hartov

Save 40%: Two of Nike’s best-selling lightweight running shoes of 2018 are on sale for an even deeper discount than what we’ve seen yet on Jackrabbit.com.

Today’s Best Deals: An Award-Winning Knife Is on Sale Again, Further Discounts from Levi’s & More

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

Ray-Ban Wayfarer Sunglasses
Save 55%: In the world of sunglasses, it doesn’t get much more iconic than a pair of Ray-Ban Wayfarers. First released in 1956, the design has hardly changed in over half a century. If you’ve been wanting the style, but the list price is more than you want to spend, Nordstrom Rack has you covered; you can get a pair of $178 Wayfarers in either black or Havana for just $80.

CRKT Swindle Pocket Knife
Save 34%: Deception lies at the core of CRKT’s aptly-named Swindle pocket knife. Closed, the Swindle appears to be a fairly-typical folder with a thumb stud opening. But the stud isn’t mounted to the knife’s spine; in fact, it isn’t part of the blade at all. The actual knife blade betrays conventional designs, deploying with a flipper tap from the other side to produce what CRKT describes as an “uphill curve.” The decoy stud isn’t just that either — that bit of protruding steel is an equally-unique, spring-assisted pocket clip that leaves the Swindle’s handle smooth.

Designed by revered knife maker Ken Onion, the Swindle won the award for “Most Innovative Imported Design” at the 2013 Blade Show and has continued in CRKT’s production line since. The blade is just over three inches and comes in two versions — one made of high-carbon steel, and a premium version with Sandvik stainless steel and a milled handle. The basic version is currently on sale at Amazon for 34 percent off. — Tanner Bowden

Levi’s Jeans, Jackets, Tees and More
Save an Extra 40%: Right now, Levi’s is offering a pretty big deal: special sale items are an extra 40 percent off. When I saw the news, I thought it’d be a dozen dismal leftovers, but hundreds of jeans, shirts, jackets and other great wardrobe staples are all up for grabs. Click through and use code EXTRA40 at checkout, then tell a friend. — Nick Caruso

Save 45%: Keen makes some of the best breathable and functional hiking sandals and boots and today, they’re all up to 45 percent off. While sandals tend to look like something your dad would wear, we love them for rafting, boating, and yes, hiking. Thanks to sturdy rubber soles and arch-cushioning footbeds, you can wear these on the mountain, relax around the campfire and even bike in them. A few of our top picks? The Evofit One, Arroyo III and the Clearwater CNX. Shop a variety of styles and colors on Keen.com today. — Meg Lappe

ELAC Debut 2.0 B6.2 Bookshelf Speakers
Save $70: If you’re in the market for some affordable passive bookshelf speakers, check out the ELAC Debut 2.0 B6.2 — we named them as one of the “best bookshelf speakers under $300” in our recent bookshelf speaker buying guide. Designed by famed loudspeaker designer Andrew Jones, who is known for his award-winning work at KEF, Pioneer and TAD, the Debut 2.0 B6.2s are solid speakers that are able to produce a strong, clear sound. They have a 6.5-inch Aramid fiber woofer and a 1-inch cloth dome tweeter, and because the bass port is on the front of the speaker, they can be placed against a wall and still sound great. — Tucker Bowe

D’Angelico Premier Madison Acoustic Guitar
Save 44%: Founded in 1932, New York guitar maker D’Angelico made a name for itself producing some of the best archtop guitars in the world. John D’Angelico opened up a guitar shop in New York City’s Little Italy neighborhood where he built and sold handmade jazz guitars with designs informed by his experience as an apprentice to a violin builder. In 1952, he hired James D’Aquisto –another revered name in the jazz guitar community — as an apprentice and worked with him for 12 years, until D’Anglico’s sudden death in 1964. Since then, the company has gone through many changes, but its instruments still reflect the designs of the founder.

Today at Guitar Center, you can save 44 percent on a great affordable acoustic guitar from D’Angelico. The Premier Madison jumbo acoustic guitar has a solid Sitka spruce top, a laminated mahogany body, a slim C-shape mahogany neck and a bone saddle and nut. This guitar is designed for playability and features a single cutaway and side-mounted preamp with a 3-band EQ.

With the discount, this guitar is now just $280 — a ridiculously good price for a guitar with these features. If you’re a beginner looking for a great acoustic or a regular player looking for a performance-ready jumbo, this is worth checking out. Act fast though, because this is a one-day sale. — John Zientek

Optoma UHL55 Portable 4K Projector
Save $500: The Optoma UHL55 is a portable 4K projector that was released in the fall of 2018. It’s capable of projecting a 150-inch image and it normally costs $1,500, but Amazon just lowered the price by quite a lot — for the first time, you can purchase the Optoma UHL55 for under $1,000. — Tucker Bowe

Elusive Red Wing Boots
Save 44%: For over 110 years, Red Wing’s boots have embodied American-made quality. Crafted in Minnesota, the footwear styles are Goodyear welted and feature leather from a local tannery — the S.B. Foot Tanning Company — also owned by the company. Now at Nordstrom Rack, you can save up to 44 percent on classic silhouettes from the Red Wing Heritage, including the Merchant boot, the Engineer boot and the Lineman boot. Act fast, because with deals this good, these boots won’t be around long. — John Zientek

Save $170: The Jabra Elite 65e headset is arguably the best value proposition for anybody who wants in-ear headphones with active noise cancellation. Their nearest rival is the Bose QuietComfort 30, which costs $299, and that’s $99 more than the Jabra Elite 65e.

Ray-Ban Polarized Aviators
Save 25%: Since 1936, aviator sunglasses have protected the eyes of pilots across the world. The original Bausch and Lomb model was branded ‘Ray-Ban’ upon release to the public, and over the later half of the 20th century, it became a staple style for civilians. The design hasn’t changed that much and features convex tear-drop lenses and thin metal frames.

Now at Zappos, you can save 25 percent on a pair of classic Ray-Ban polarized aviators. According to California eyewear designer Dave Barton, these are worth the money. “One of the best values out there is a glass polarized Ray-Ban aviator,” he told us. “That’s a great quality lens and they’ve been doing it for years.” So act fast — these shades are now just $153. — John Zientek

Save $350: Backcountry skiers and boarders know they need to take extra safety precautions when heading out for a day on the mountain, and a backpack with an airbag is just the thing to use. The Black Diamond Jetforce Tour 26-liters features a lightweight electrical airbag that won’t act up in frigid temperatures, which is the last thing you want to happen when you’re in an emergency. The pack charges with a USB, so you won’t depend on batteries, but you can pack two AA ones as a backup.

The 26-liter pack will fit everything you need to be out all day long — from food to a neck warmer to more layers, plus a first aid kit and water. Easily access your shovel and probe, both stored in a separate pocket. If you have any mountain sports plans, this is the pack to pick up right now. — Meg Lappe

Fender Custom Shop NAMM Custom Built ’63 Journeyman Relic Jazzmaster Guitar
Save $186: Legendary guitar maker Fender is best known for its Stratocaster and Telecaster guitars, but the brand produces a number of other iconic models worth playing. One of these hidden gems is the Jazzmaster, a guitar with an offset body that initially debuted in 1958 and was later discontinued in 1980.

The guitar was re-released in ’84 from Fender’s Japanese factory (a ’62 reissue model) and then in ’99 as part of the American Vintage Series. Now, various iterations of the style are accessible across Fender’s range of guitars from affordable Squire instruments to collector-level Custom Shop guitars.

Currently, this Jazzmaster is reduced by almost $200 because it has an open box. Any discount on a mint-condition Custom Shop guitar is welcome, and it’s hard to argue with savings like this on such a detail-oriented axe. — John Zientek

Apple has given these MacBook Pros newer, better and faster Intel processors, as well as Touch ID so you can unlock them with just your finger. Just like the new MacBook Airs, these new 13-inch MacBook Pros will have newer updated keyboards. The price of the new MacBook Pro has been dropped by $100, too; they start at $1,299 (or $1,099 if you’re a college student) instead of the previous $1,399. — Tucker Bowe

Engineered Garments x Uniqlo Polo Shirts
Save 33%: Uniqlo’s latest collaboration is with another Japanese brand that workwear aficionados might already be familiar with: Engineered Garments. The range currently consists of slouchy, oversized polo shirts that feature unconventional patterns and construction; some are made with patched panels, and several feature screen-printed patterns. And for those looking to play it safe(r) there’s a plain, standard polo — still distinctly belonging in this collection — available in three neutral colors. Coming from someone who’s tried them on, you’d be safe going down a full size if you want the great fabrics and construction with a slightly more conventional fit.

Engineered Garments items don’t typically come at a low price; a mesh polo from the brand currently retails for $236, and its outerwear can easily exceed the $400 mark. But because Uniqlo is Uniqlo, you can stock up for summer with these of-the-moment polo shirts for just $20. — John Zientek

Iconic Vans Sneakers
Save up to 48%: If you’re in need of some new sneakers for the warm-weather months, head over to Todd Snyder today. Right now, you can save up to 48 percent on a bunch of iconic styles from Vans. Choose from slip-on and lace-up styles in a range of colors — prices start at just $29. — John Zientek

Wüsthof Chef’s Knife
Save 46%: There are three types of chef’s knives.

First, there’s the value knife, typically made of hardwearing, easy-to-dull stainless steel, that goes for $30 to $45 (think Victorinox’s Fibrox knife). The second comes in just under $100; the steel here keeps an edge longer, but it isn’t forged and, thus, it’s susceptible to chipping. But you’ll typically have to spend upward of $150 for a forged chef’s knife, something like Wüsthof’s Classic 8-Inch Chef’s Knife — a wide bevel knife designed in a classically German style.

The Wüsthof Classic is made of a stainless steel composite containing more carbon than is normal for a stainless blade, granting it some of the attributes associated with carbon steel knives (like markedly easier sharpening).

Today on Ebay, you can get it for 46 percent off. That’s more than $60 cheaper than its listed price on Amazon. — Will Price

Kammok Bobcat Trail Quilt
Save 20%: The Bobcat looks like a sleeping bag that’s been given the blanket treatment — it’s rectangular with down-filled diamond baffles — but it hides an array of smart features that give it the extra functionality it needs to become a reliable piece of camping gear. For one, Kammok used top-notch Atmos 20D ripstop nylon and responsibly-sourced, water repellent down. It also has cinch cords at either end and snaps running down its sides so that it can effectively close up like a sleeping bag if that’s the way you want to use it. It also comes with straps that link it to your sleeping pad so it won’t fall off in the middle of the night and a conversion kit that turns it into an underquilt for sleeping in a hammock. These attributes make the Bobcat ideal for backpacking and camping, but even if you have no use for them the quilt is still a warm and light solution for the home or the camper.

The Bobcat is rated for comfortable use down to 45 degrees Fahrenheit, weighs 19 ounces and packs down to the size of a football. Kammok initially launched the quilt on Kickstarter, where it earned over $265,000 (of a $50,000 goal). Right now, you can pick up the trail quilt at Huckberry for 20 percent off. — Tanner Bowden

Free Fly Hydro Short Sale
Save 30%: If you pack a pair of Free Fly’s Hydro shorts in your weekender, it’s all you’ll need for beach and lake vacations. Surf, swim and cannonball without tugging at the waistband of these flexible shorts. Thanks to the UPF 50+ rating, these work wonders for any lazy river excursions. When you’re ready to hang up your shorts, you’ll be thankful for the quick-drying bamboo fabric. Skip the washer and don’t bother worrying about any smell issues — the bamboo charcoal is naturally antibacterial and odor-resistant. Pick up a pair today for $20 off in a couple of colors. — Meg Lappe

The 2019 MacBook Air
Save $100: The new MacBook Air now has True Tone display technology, which allows it to automatically brighten or dim depending on the ambient light in the room; this is designed to help colors look more natural, but it’s also a feature that can be turned off, of course. The price of the new MacBook Air has been dropped by $100, too, meaning it now starts at just $1,099 (or $999 if you’re a college student). It should also be noted that the new MacBook Air will have redesigned keyboards, which Apple introduced this past May. — Tucker Bowe

Breville Bambino Plus Espresso Machine
Save $40: Breville rules the home espresso world with a quality-focused, user-friendly fist. Available in late 2018, the Bambino Plus is one of the newest and most affordable machines in the company’s espresso machine portfolio. It’s simple to use, compact and comes with Breville’s standard (and exceptional) milk frothing wand, PID temperature control and event, consistent shots. It’s one of very few legitimately good espresso makers at the $500 price point. Today on Amazon, it’s a modest $40 off its usual $500 asking price. — Will Price

D’Angelico Deluxe Bob Weir Bedford Electric Guitar
Save $200: In late May, New York guitar brand D’Angelico released the first signature model in its solid-body collection for Grateful Dead frontman Bob Weir. The instrument is unconventional and wild — the guitar brand is known for semi-hollowbody jazz guitars — and includes an unconventional set of pickups.
Normally $1,999, you can save $200 on this guitar today at Guitar Center with the code 10off. If you’re looking for a unique guitar to add nuanced tones to your playing, this is certainly worth checking out. — John Zientek

Target Outdoor Furniture
Save Up to 25%: Target is home to a shocking number of decent-looking, wallet-sensitive homewares. From Made By Design’s minimalist aesthetic to Target-does-mid-century-modern to the best cheap bedsheets you can buy, the mega-retailer plays designer pretty well. Its in-house lines of outdoor furniture and patio items are no different, and they’re all marked down up to 25 percent today.

The sale includes a whopping 6,500-plus products, including weatherproof furniture, water-resistant rugs, outdoor lighting, firepits and more. Hot tip: check availability for in-store pickup to bypass the significant shipping fees tagged onto larger orders. — Will Price

Seiko Prospex “Orange Samurai” Dive Watch
Save 57%: The Seiko Prospex SRPB97 “Orange Samurai” is exactly what you want in a summertime timepiece. It has a boldly-colored orange dial, runs Seiko’s proven 4R35 automatic movement and has a chunky case to keep that movement safe at depths up to 200 meters (not to mention the occasional careless knock here or there). Best of all, it’s cheap. Right now at Macy’s, you can get it for a full 57 percent off. That takes the price down to just $223 from its full retail of $525. (Use the code “July” at checkout to realize the fully discounted price.) — Oren Hartov


Ray-Ban Wayfarer Sunglasses
Save 55%: In the world of sunglasses, it doesn’t get much more iconic than a pair of Ray-Ban Wayfarers. First released in 1956, the design has hardly changed in over half a century. If you’ve been wanting the style, but the list price is more than you want to spend, Nordstrom Rack has you covered; you can get a pair of $178 Wayfarers in either black or Havana for just $80. What’s more, these Italian-made shades also come with polarized lenses to protect your eyes all summer long — hard to beat that. — John Zientek


Red Wing Heritage Moc Toe Boots
Save 36%: When you’re presented with the chance to save on Red Wing Heritage boots, you’d be foolish to pass it up. The brand’s boots are rarely on sale and when they are, sizes are often limited. But now at Nordstrom Rack, you can save up to 36 percent on a pair of classic Red Wing Heritage Moc-Toe boots available in sizes 7 to 11. This American-made style features Brown Boomer leather from the S.B. Foot Tanning Company in Minnesota and a non-marking outsole. What are you waiting for? — John Zientek


Sonos Playbar
Save $150: Sonos is selling refurbished models of its Playbar, the company’s biggest and best-sounding soundbar, for $150 off. The normally $699 soundbar can be bought for $549 right now on Sonos’s website. — Tucker Bowe

Weber Rapidfire Charcoal Starter
Save 24%: The biggest pain point in charcoal grilling happens before the food is out of the fridge. Properly lighting charcoal has always been a contentious, frustrating and tedious subject. The cover-it-in-lighter-fluid approach can be fast, but imparts chemical flavors onto food, and you can only burn so many napkins before giving up.

The fastest way to light coals naturally is a charcoal chimney, and Weber’s already-affordable option is on sale today. Place the chimney on the grates of your grill, fill it with charcoal and light a wad of newspaper underneath. Once your coals start to turn gray (usually about 20 minutes), dump them in the base of the grill and you’re ready to cook. The Weber chimney is a little more than 25 percent off today on Amazon. — Will Price

Orient Ray II Dive Watch
Save 63%: Right now, you can grab the Ray II with a beautiful blue dial for just $129 on Amazon, down from Orient’s MSRP of $350. The Ray II features a 41.5mm stainless steel case with matching bracelet, a unidirectional dive bezel, an automatic Japanese movement with 40 hours of power reserve and a day-date display. At this price and with this feature set, what’s essentially the perfect summer watch could easily become your favorite everyday watch. — Oren Hartov


Evergoods CTB 40 Travel Backpack
Save $74: Rollaboard luggage has recently met its successor as carry-on king in the travel backpack. We’re don’t mean hiking backpacks or duffels with backpack straps; we’re talking about a new breed of bags that are a hybrid of the lot. Typically, they open on a hinge like a hardshell suitcase, are as spacious as duffels and, like backpacks, use a supportive shoulder strap system (that usually tucks away when unneeded) and have lots of internal organization. One of our favorites of this new class of bags is Evergoods’s CTB40, which is $74 off today. — Tanner Bowden

Science in Sport Beta Fuel Sale
Save 35%: The 21-day Tour de France began on July 6th and riders will tackle the flat, hilly and mountain stages almost daily until July 28th. Along the way, they’ll eat 5000 or more calories to refuel and stay energized. Team Ineos (previously known as Team Sky) guzzles much-needed carbohydrates, specifically, Science in Sport Beta Fuel. Right now, you can save 35 percent on a box of 15 at The Feed.

The revolutionary Beta Fuel combines Maltodextrin and Fructose, two easy to digest carbohydrates that your body can use to restock glycogen stores (what you need to power through a tough ride) and give you a quick hit of energy to keep riding. Plus, you mix Beta Fuel with water, so you’re hydrating and getting ‘food’ at the same time. Shop the sports drink on The Feed today, then hit the roads for your own Tour de France-inspired ride. — Meg Lappe

Today’s Best Deals: Save 40% on a Great Beard Trimmer, a Deal on Lodge’s Cast-Iron Set & More

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

Panasonic ER-GB80-S Beard Trimmer
Save 40%: If you needed an excuse to get on top of your grooming routine, the looming onset of beach season might do the trick. And for trimming anything from your beard to your back hair, it helps to have the right tool for the job. Enter the Panasonic ER-GB80-S, an electric trimmer with a waterproof design (yes, that means you can run it under the tap to rinse it out). The trimmer boasts a whopping 50 minutes of run time plus 39 different trim settings, adjustable in half-millimeter increments from just 0.5mm up to 20mm. The trimmer typically goes for $100, but thanks to a special Amazon deal, you can get yours today for just $59. — John Zientek


August Smart Lock Pro
Save $64: In our recent smart lock buying guide, we named the August Smart Lock Pro as the best overall smart lock — and right now it’s on sale. The normally $280 smart lock is currently $64 off. It’s a pretty good deal for anybody that wants to buy a smart lock, considering it’s easy to install and works with August’s and Nest’s line of smart home products (both of which are extremely popular). The Smart Lock Pro can work with Alexa, Google Assistant or Siri, meaning you can use voice commands to lock and unlock your door. — Tucker Bowe

Lodge 4-Piece Cast Iron Set
Save 24%: Lodge’s four-piece cast iron set is for those who’ve caught the cast iron cooking bug but lack the cast iron cooking wallet. Discounted about 25 percent off today, the set includes at 10.25-inch skillet, a Dutch oven and a griddle for $70. That’s cheaper than any single, standard-sized skillet from boutique cast-iron cookware brands launched in the last few years. The whole set is made in Lodge’s South Pittsburgh, Tennessee facility and comes pre-seasoned with vegetable oil and ready to use out of the box. This is the lowest price the set has ever been listed at. — Will Price

Seiko SRPB55 Dive Watch
Save 34%: Many watch enthusiasts cut their teeth on mechanical Seiko dive watches because they are some of the best values in the watch industry. Take, for example, this Prospex SRPB55 “Samurai.” It’s has a full 200-meter depth rating (meeting ISO’s standard for divers), an in-house automatic movement, a waffle-textured dial and a case with a black ion finish. Yet you can get all of this for just $525 — except right now on Amazon, the watch is selling at a 34 percent discount, meaning you can get this hard-hitting diver for only $345. — Oren Hartov


Wolverine Boots
Save 40%: If you’ve been meaning to invest in a new pair of boots but haven’t found the right pair, Wolverine is currently making a compelling case for its hard-wearing styles. The Michigan-based brand is now offering 40 percent off a bunch of boots: choose from American-made lace-up styles including the iconic 1000 Mile boot and the go-anywhere Montague Boot boot. Many sizes are currently available, but with such a substantial discount, they won’t be for long. — John Zientek


Julbo Vermont Classic Sunglasses
Save $61: Mountain-inspired sunglasses with shields on the temples and bridge are common today — you can get a pair for $89 from Sunski or for more than $500 from Vuarnet — but in 1950, when the French company Julbo released its Vermont glacier glasses, they were cutting-edge. Julbo aimed to provide mountain climbers with sufficient protection against the intense light in the high snowy and icy environments (UV rays bounce off these reflective surfaces and cause snow blindness).

Seven decades later, Julbo maintains that intention, and while it now uses polycarbonates and wrap-around designs to make lightweight sunglasses for use at high altitudes, the Vermont continues to justify itself in function and, with its iconic mountain aesthetic, style too. Julbo recently re-released the sunglasses, which are now dubbed the Vermont Classic, and right now they’re on sale at Drop for $61 off. — Tanner Bowden

Otterbox Elevation 64 Growler
Save 30%: We talk a lot about the importance of staying hydrated, and it is critical, especially during hot, humid summer days. However, some liquid storage products are ideal for carrying other types of beverages, too. Consider the growler, the ultimate vessel for toting one of man’s greatest inventions: beer.

Many breweries offer the opportunity to take home samples not just in bottles and cans, but in 64 oz. growler form. And they’ll gladly fill yours up if you bring your own. That’s four true pints, more than enough to socialize with, that’ll stay cold for days in the right unit. Our current fave: Otterbox’s Elevation 64, currently on sale for $49, 30 percent off its $70 retail price.

Right now you can score this stainless steel deal as well as 20 to 30 percent off select models of the Elevation 10-, 16-, 20- and 28-oz. tumblers. Click around for the discounts and remember to, ahem, stay hydrated. — Steve Mazzucchi

Vizio 2019 4K TVs
Save up to $500: Vizio is discounting most of its 2019 4K smart TVs for the 4th of July, including its P-Series Quantum X, the company’s best and brightest 4K TV ever. Since Vizio makes what are arguably the best affordable 4K TVs you can buy, the fact that its new TVs (which were just released in the last few months) are already on sale — that’s pretty exciting. In addition to deals on the P-Series Quantum X, Vizio is also discounting its other high-end and midrange lines of P-Series Quantum and M-Series Quantum, respectively. — Tucker Bowe

Dainese Harrison Leather Jacket
Save 40%: Generally speaking, fashion-forward motorcycle jackets tend to be fairly useless against the elements, and they generally don’t offer much in the way of real protection against skids and spills. That’s where the Dainese Harrison leather jacket breaks from the mold, however. Its stylish four-pocket design and hand-dyed leather outer construction offer the look of a stereotypical all-form-no-function jacket, but hidden underneath the shoulders and elbows lies functional Pro-Shape Armor. There’s even a pocket in the back to accommodate a Dainese back protector. In addition to protection from impacts, the Harrison jacket also comes with a quilted thermal liner to keep out the wind chill when cruising down the road.
This is one of Dainese’s top-tier jackets, normally retailing for $800 — so being able to buy it for $320 cheaper than that price, as you can right now at Revzilla, pretty much counts on a steal. — Bryan Campbell

Ray-Ban Wayfarer Sunglasses
Save 55%: In the world of sunglasses, it doesn’t get much more iconic than a pair of Ray-Ban Wayfarers. First released in 1956, the design has hardly changed in over half a century.

What’s more, these Italian-made shades also come with polarized lenses to protect your eyes all summer long — hard to beat that. — John Zientek


Winston Online Privacy Device
16% Off: It is no secret at this point that anything we search, click on, or post can be collected, tracked, stored and used by tech companies, advertising agencies and (conspiracy theories aside) the government. Ad blockers and incognito mode do virtually nothing to protect your privacy. To help give you peace of mind — and keep your data private — try the new Winston Online Privacy Device. A VPN (Virtual Private Network) alternative, Winston is a small minimalist box that is plugged-in between your modem and router that shields all the information passing through your home or office network. It does this by scrambling your information between different locations, obscuring its point of origin and giving you the protection you need. Winston also blocks over 90,000different advertising and tracking sites helping to declutter your online experience as well. You can grab a Winston from its Kickstarter page below. — Gear Patrol

Dainese Stripes D1 Perforated Leather Jacket
Save 50%: Dainese has been protecting riders on the street, on the track and in the dirt since the 1970s. It’s safe to say, then, that the brand knows a thing or two about style and performance, and the Stripes D1 Perforated Leather Jacket — marked down by 50% at Rezvilla right now — is a prime example of what they can do. — Bryan Campbell

L.L. Bean x Flowfold Crossbody Tote Sale
Save 20%: The minimalist L.L. Bean x Flowfold’s Crossbody Tote has earned its place as one of our favorite bags — even outshining our love for the perfect backpack, and it’s 20 percent off today.

Jabra Elite 65e Noise-Canceling In-Ear Headphones
Save $160: The Jabra Elite 65e headset is arguably the best value proposition for anybody who wants in-ear headphones with active noise cancellation. Their nearest rival is the Bose QuietComfort 30, which costs $299, and that’s $99 more than the Jabra Elite 65e usually go for. — Tucker Bowe

Bodum 8-Cup French Press
Save 20%: Bodum doesn’t claim to make the best French press, the most innovative French press or the prettiest French press. Instead, the brand that’s come to dominate the French press game makes stable presses that aren’t too expensive. Today on Amazon, its 8-cup press is marked to an all-time low price of $24. For best results, use coarsely ground coffee about brew with water between 195 and 204 degrees. — Will Price

iPhone 7 (Unlocked, Refurbished)
Save $184: Break your iPhone and don’t want to spend big on a new one? No problem. You can get pretty good on a slightly older model. For example, eBay is selling unlocked iPhone 7s for under $200 (here). It’s a manufacturer refurbished model, granted, but if you have any issues eBay has a “free 30 day return” policy. — Tucker Bowe

La Thiers Manche Bouleau de Nlande folding knife

Swedish brand åäö doesn’t care if you can pronounce its name (it’s something like owa-ah-uh); what it cares about is how you cover up the lower half of your body as we’ve noted before with their shorts. That’s why it spent years, went through nearly 300 prototypes and an 8000-mile motorcycle ride to come up with a single pair, simply called The Pants as these are the only pair you’ll ever need. The Pants stretch in all directions and repel water, dirt or any disastrous spill but they feel like soft canvas and look like a pair of work-appropriate chinos. Made in Sweden from advanced Swiss fabrics, each pair comes hand signed by the seamstress that crafted them. With a long lasting guarantee, åäö will always try to mend any damaged pants or replace them for you. You can snap up The Pants for 15 percent off and free shipping with the special Gear Patrol discount code Gearpatrol.

Black Diamond Spot headlamp
Save $11: If there’s one camping accessory to buy for summer, it’s a headlamp, and Black Diamond’s Spot, which is currently only $29 at Amazon thanks to a 27 percent discount, is better than a safe bet. It’s simple, but don’t take that to mean it’s basic. The Spot uses three AAA batteries, is fully waterproof, and features a main light with 300 lumens of brightness. According to Black Diamond, it can shoot a beam of light 80 meters (262 feet), but we’re more impressed by how easily you can swap between its various modes (beam, flood, strobe, red night vision) and how its brightness is adjustable as necessary. — Tanner Bowden

Amazon Mid-Century Modern Furniture
Save 20%: In 2018, Amazon entered the furniture space with two new, relatively cheap in-house lines. One was traditional-leaning and looked to belong in your parents’ house, and one was Rivet, Amazon’s affordable take on mid-century modern. The latter is marked 20 percent off today for Prime members today. Discounted products include light fixtures, light bulbs, dining chairs, accent chairs, sofas, side tables and throw blankets. If you’re not looking to break the bank filling out your living room, you could do much worse than this sale. — Will Price

Otterbox Venture 45-quart Cooler

The brand introduced its first cooler, the Venture, last summer and proved its background in tech protection carries over well to cooler making.
Each Venture cooler features integrated injection-molding and high-grade cooling technologies. The anti-slip rubber feet stay put on long car rides and rickety platforms. Inside, separators create compartments for wet and dry goods, and you can add on a cutting board or side table so anyone who’s with you can become your sous chef. Right now Huckberry is running a 20 percent off sale on the 45-quart version, the perfect size for a weekend getaway. — Meg Lappe

Belstaff Classic Tourist Trophy Jacket
Save 20%: It’s not easy to earn a reputation for rugged reliability in the world of motorcycle gear, but Belstaff has been at it for nearly 100 years. As it’s risen to prominence in recent years, Belstaff has entrenched itself in the luxury performance apparel space; as a result, price tags tend to be high across the brand. Today, however, the Classic Tourist Trophy Jacket — one of Belstaff’s most iconic designs — is 20% off at RevZilla, currently selling for just $1,160. — Bryan Campbell


Seiko 5 Automatic Watch
Save Over 70%: The SNK805 features a 37mm case, automatic Seiko movement with day-date display, a green dial and matching nylon strap and 30m of water resistance. With its mid-size case and military-inspired look, this Seiko 5 is the perfect summer “beater watch,” and at this price, it’s hard to argue against it.— Oren Hartov



Italian-Made Saint Laurent Sunglasses
Save 66%: Dominated by the same aviator- and Wayfarer-inspired designs, the sunglasses market can seem a bit uninspired at times. If you’ve been yearning for a frame that breaks from the status quo, consider a style from Saint Laurent. The Parisian fashion house offers a range of distinct sunglasses, all crafted in Italy. From a combination acetate-metal Clubmaster style to a chunky Havana-acetate square silhouette, these well-made shades are anything but bland. And now at Nordstrom Rack, some of these sunglasses are up to 66 percent off while supplies last — that’s savings of $230. — John Zientek


Camping Essentials Sale
Save 25%: While Memorial Day Weekend is the unofficial start of summer, Fourth of July is a good reminder that camping season is here in full force. There’s a good chance that you’re dusting off the gear bins for the first time since last fall to find that some items aren’t as pristine as you thought you’d left them and that those gaps in your camping kit remain unfilled. Now is the time to make amends. It’s the perfect time to take advantage of Fourth of July sales at retailers like REI, Backcountry and Huckberry to ensure that you’re well prepared for summer. Here are six things to get you started. — Meg Lappe


Fender ’68 Reissue Guitar Amps
Save up to $156: Now at Guitar Center, you can save over $100 on a range of classic Fender guitar amps. The Silverface ’68 Custom reissue line — a Princeton, a Deluxe Reverb, a Vibrolux Reverb and a Twin Reverb — is currently discounted. These classic tube amps recreate styles from a transitional year in Fender’s amp production: the tones were classic Fender — warm and bell-like — but they were also noticeably dirtier than amps produced in the mid-‘60s. The amps also presented a new aesthetic with a silver-and-turquoise front panel and an aluminum grille-cloth trim. — John Zientek

Black Hole Recycled 30-Liter Laptop Backpack
Save 30%: Of the well-loved products that Patagonia has created over the years — from ultralight synthetic insulation jackets to iconic fleeces — the Black Hole duffel is one that has weathered the years. The utilitarian gear hauler is made rugged enough to handle the rigors of weeks-long field expeditions yet practical enough that its features aren’t lost on casual travelers. (The 60-liter version is perfect for carry-on-only trips.) Similar to the duffel, the Black Hole Pack uses a wide opening to access its main compartment, which has a sleeve for a laptop or a hydration reservoir as well as smaller pockets for essential items. Unhindered by other unnecessary features, the bag is left to do what it should: provide ample space for whatever it is you might need to carry. Right now the Black Hole Pack is available for 30 percent off at Nordstrom. — Tanner Bowden

Naim Audio Mu-so Qb
Save $200: You can think of the Mu-so Qb as the perfect Sonos upgrade. It delivers rich audio in a super attractive and compact body; its main feature is, of course, a super huge volume dial that lights up like a halo and has great “knob feel.” Normally $699, the speaker is on sale right now for less than $500 on World Wide Stereo’s website. Just type in the promo code FIREWORK at checkout. — Tucker Bowe
