Fresh Deals

Pro-Keds Royal Lo Cordura Sneakers
Save 78%: If you’re looking for a sneaker that’s more durable than traditional canvas styles, Pro-Keds has the answer. The Royal Lo sneaker is made of Cordura ballistic nylon which is both water repellent and hardwearing. The design features tonal foxing, round laces with reflective thread, a suede heel strip and a rubber cap toe. Best of all: the price.

Dockers Washed Khakis
Save 36%: While a good pair of khakis is essential for a modern wardrobe, you shouldn’t feel limited by traditional boxier silhouettes. Dockers offers a slim tapered style made with 2 percent elastane for comfort. They’re soft, comfortable and flattering. Available in eight different colors, they’re now 36 percent off and cost just $37. — John Zientek



Crown & Buckle Premium Nylon Strap
Save 33%: If you own a tool watch like a diver, a chronograph or a field watch, a NATO strap is an excellent accessory to have. The nylon construction is breathable and durable, they’re quick and easy to swap in and out, and the pass-through design exudes military-inspired cool. Best of all, NATOs are cheap: a decent one should only set you back a few Hamiltons at most. Now, though, is your chance to pick up one from Crown & Buckle for just $10. At that price, it’s a no-brainer. — Andrew Connor


AmazonBasics Hiking Backpack
Save $34: As we’re gearing up for AT and PCT hiking season, it’s time to buy a backpack if you don’t have one already. This AmazonBasics Internal Frame Hiking Backpack with Rainfly has a sleeping-bag compartment, plenty of pockets and compartments to keep everything organized, plus an extension collar if you need up to five more liters of space. Keep your neck and shoulders free of redness and chafing with adjustable and padded shoulder straps. The bag comes in a 70, 60 or 50L option, and is one of the cheapest backpacks we’ve seen on the market today. — Meg Lappe


Patagonia Sale
Save 50%: Patagonia is constantly re-inventing the wheel to push out new iterations of pieces we already love. Whether it’s changing the material and where it’s sourced from, or a totally new technology, each season brings about something new. And thanks to that, Patagonia is offering up to 50 percent off past season’s gear. Now’s a good time to see if you need a new winter coat or bike jacket. Hurry, today’s the last day and deals are going fast. — Meg Lappe


Revzilla April Flash Sale
Save up to 80%: Right now, Revzilla is having an April flash sale where you can save up 80% on some items, including gear perfect for an ADV excursion, this weekend. — Bryan Campbell


Ridgemont Outfitters Heritage Boot
Save $49: It’s hard to argue with the capability of hiking boots, easier so to deny their ugly outdoorsy aesthetic; Ridgemont Outfitters treads the path between the two with its Heritage Boot. Built with an oiled leather upper, a waterproof lining and a lugged rubber sole, the Heritage draws its retro inspiration from the hiking boots of the 70s and 80s and fine-tunes that style for wear on mountain trails and city sidewalks alike. The Heritage Boot fits like a sneaker, walks like a hiker and looks decent enough for wear around town. Right now, it’s also marked down at Huckberry in various colors by 27 percent. — Tanner Bowden
