Save on Premium Athletic Gear
Save up to 50%: There’s an uncomfortable paradox that comes with premium athletic gear. It’s in the nature of those who strive for ever-increasing performance to want the best equipment available, but at the same time, it can be gut-wrenching to pony up $300 for a bike helmet you might smash, or $80 for a t-shirt you’ll soak in sweat over and over again on long runs.
High-end gear is high-end for a reason though, and it’s often the case that you forget about that extra money as you cruise through a favorite loop in total comfort. That euphoria only increases when you know that you got that gear at a substantial discount from, for instance, an online sale.
Right now Mr. Porter, an online retailer that specializes in upscale menswear, is selling gear for running, cycling, hiking, sailing, tennis, golf and more at up to 50 percent off. The sale is vast — highlights include POC’s newest cycling helmet and Nike running shoes. There’s much more than that though and sizes are becoming more limited, but it’s worth a thorough sift-through (especially if you need one or two pieces to round out your kit). — Tanner Bowden
Soludos Espadrilles
Save up to 55%: Need a lighter footwear option for the warmer months? Now at Nordstrom Rack, you can save on beach-friendly espadrilles from Soludos. Pick from solid color leather uppers or striped canvas uppers — prices start at just $25. — John Zientek
