If you鈥檙e thinking about your snowboard bindings on the hill, chances are those thoughts aren鈥檛 positive. Finicky, unresponsive, uncomfortable, or unreliable bindings are the bane of any rider鈥檚 existence鈥攁 thorn in your side that, at best, leads to under-your-breath expletives while strapping in. At worst? They鈥檒l send you to the ski patrol shack cradling a dislocated limb or leave you stranded miles deep in the backcountry.

On the other hand, the best snowboard bindings鈥攂indings that are high-quality, functional, and trustworthy, like the tested-and-approved ones you鈥檒l find in this guide鈥攄on鈥檛 spawn temper tantrums or avoidable crashes. Instead, these bindings facilitate flow-state ripping, relaying predictable commands from your boots to board.

After testing 28 pairs of snowboard and splitboard bindings for the 2025/2026 winter season, collecting feedback from our veteran test team, and cross-referencing our favorite picks from this year鈥檚 test with our top picks from previous years, we compiled this list of best snowboard and splitboard bindings.

When putting together your snowboard kit, no piece of the puzzle is more critical than your boots. The best snowboard boots don鈥檛 just connect your body to your board; they鈥檙e also the key to on-hill comfort. The wrong boots can cause hot spots, blisters, heel lift, toe bang, or swamp foot鈥攁ll potential day-ruiners. The right boots, however, can make previously torturous bell-to-bell days no big deal. Not to mention, they can significantly improve your performance on the slopes.

To help point you toward the right pair, we tested 24 boots for the 2025/2026 season during our annual snowboard test, which went down this past spring at Kirkwood Mountain Resort (and beyond). We cross-referenced tester favorites from this year with top models from previous years before putting together this guide to the best snowboard boots.

Yeti Roadie 48 Wheeled Cooler ($425)

The Roadie series pairs Yeti鈥檚 rotomolded cooler expertise with brawny, telescoping handles and all-terrain wheels. When it comes to hauling brews to camp or planning a trailside picnic, the Roadie is the play. We鈥檙e big fans of the 48-quart size鈥攊t鈥檚 big enough to start the party or handle a multi-day camping trip, but small enough that you won鈥檛 throw your back out tossing it in the trunk.

Yeti Hopper M Soft-Sided Cooler ($325)

Yeti鈥檚 Hopper soft-sided coolers are some of the best in the category. They鈥檙e durable, comfortable to carry, and keep beverages crisp and cold for hours on end. However, they鈥檙e definitely not the cheapest option available. During Amazon Prime Day, though, you can score 25 percent off on this medium-sized Hopper, making the spend much more manageable.

Yeti Tundra 45 Cooler ($325)

One of our favorite Amazon Prime Day deals, you can now save up to 60 percent on this potential trip-saver.

Sawyer Products Premium Permethrin Insect Repellant ($18)

According to a , Permethrin treatments reduce chances of a tick bites by 73.6 times. For hikers and campers, mountain bikers and anglers, and anyone who spends time in tick-heavy wilderness zones, this one鈥檚 a no-brainer.聽 We鈥檒l definitely be stocking up on this Sawyer summer essential.

Coleman Classic 3-Burner Propane Camping Stove ($224)

A trio of burners provides aspiring camp cooks with a 12-inch by 20-inch work area, generating up to 28,000 BTUs for high-heat cooking. Factor in the usual Coleman features鈥攚ind shields that double as side tables, push-button igniters, and bomber durability鈥攁nd this discounted stove is a welcome and affordable addition to any camp cook鈥檚 kitchen setup.

Amazon Basics Camping Chair ($25)

For the bargain-hunting camper, Amazon Basics can be a surprisingly solid play, especially if you鈥檙e not remotely concerned with factors like weight or packability. (Read: car campers can get away with the cheaper product, but we鈥檙e definitely spending the extra dough when it comes to backpacking equipment.) Case in point? This comfy, collapsible camp chair, which is normally as cheap as it gets for camp furniture. Now, though, it鈥檚 discounted 20 percent off during Prime Day.

Coleman Classic Series Insulated 100-Quart Wheeled Cooler ($110)

No surprises here, but Coleman is another top brand for bargain-oriented campers. This insulated, 100-quart wheeled cooler keeps up to 160 cans chilled. It also retails for $110鈥攍ess than a quarter of the price of premium options from Coleman鈥檚 competitors.

Camp Chef Mountain Series Everest 2X ($199)

There are several stoves on offer during Amazon Prime Day鈥檚 sale, and we鈥檝e included a few in this article. But if we had to point you towards just one, it鈥檚 hands-down the Everest. A tried-and-true two-burner that balances power, durability, and ease of use, this Camp Chef stove is a winner鈥攅specially when you can snag it for a double-digit discount.

Coleman Triton+ 2-Burner Camp Stove ($143)

Considering we鈥檝e seen Cold War-era Coleman camp stoves that鈥檙e still kicking, there鈥檚 a good chance this beefy, powerful camp stove will last for decades. The stove operates on standard 16-ounce propane canisters, features push-button igniters and simmer-friendly controls, and generates up to 22,000 BTUs of heat. Whether you鈥檙e just boiling water for coffee or whipping up a complex camping feast, this now-discounted stove will get the job done.

You鈥檒l want to invest in additional accessories, like a flat-top griddle, but at least the Camp Chef stove is on sale to make accessorizing less intimidating price-wise.

Mountain House Classic Meal Assortment Bucket ($134)

If you鈥檙e a frequent backpacker, bikepacker, or backcountry skier who enjoys multi-day missions, having a bucket of dehydrated meals on hand is a helpful hack. Just imagine: you won鈥檛 need to rush to REI before your next trip. You鈥檙e chicken-and-rice rich.

Jetboil MiniMo ($165)

A compact, efficient integrated canister stove that鈥檚 built for backpacking, the MiniMo excels at boiling water as fast as possible. If dehydrated meals and hot coffee are your main objectives, there鈥檚 no better option, and the MiniMo is now on sale for a not-so-mini discount.

Whether you鈥檙e looking for a new carry-on, a hiking daypack, or a daily commuter, Osprey has your back with the Daylite. The 13-liter pack is on the small side, but it can handle most laptops (up to 14 inches). Padded, ventilated straps, twin water bottle pockets, and a capacious main compartment boost versatility. The Daylite is reasonably priced at retail, and even more so during Amazon鈥檚 Prime Day sale.


Snow Prime Day Deals

oakley goggles

Oakley Line Miner Goggles ($166)

One of our favorite cylindrical ski goggles of all time, the stylish Line Miner is almost half off during Amazon Prime Day. Near-universal helmet compatibility, a plush, face-fitting foam liner, and Oakley鈥檚 clarity-augmenting Prizm lenses make these a slam-dunk buy for any skier or snowboarder who can鈥檛 wait for summer to be over.

Okay, we know this isn鈥檛 outdoor gear鈥攊t鈥檚 the definition of indoor gear. And don鈥檛 get us wrong, we prefer to run outside when possible. That said, a treadmill has a time and a place. That time might be mid-winter, after work, when it鈥檚 dark and snowy out, and thanks to Prime Day, that place might be in your home gym. Runners can save over 20 percent off on this fully featured CENTR RUNR S treadmill, which translates to hundreds of bucks.

GoPro fans will be stoked to see the HERO13 is heavily discounted during Amazon Prime Day. The compact action cam captures outsized footage at a whopping 5.6K60 resolution, and this bundle comes with spare batteries, mounts, and a waterproof shutter remote.

Chaco Rapid Pro

Chaco teamed up with the outsole experts at Vibram on the Rapid Pro collection. These sandals feature the Chaco webbing straps we know and love, but with grippy Vibram lugs. If you鈥檙e often scrambling in sandals or splashing across slippery river rock, this line鈥檚 got your name on it.

Chaco Classic

Sometimes, you just can鈥檛 beat the classics. Chaco鈥檚 most supportive sandals, the tried-and-true Classic line is durable, comfortable, and ready for any adventure you are. If you鈥檙e considering your first pair of Chacos, or replacing a well-loved pair that鈥檚 beyond repair, Classics are the way to go.

Chaco Cloud

The Cloud line is similar to the Classics, but they鈥檙e more comfy thanks to a built-in layer of softer, cloud-like polyurethane. If you鈥檙e on your feet for long periods of time, floating on a pair of Clouds can be a smart move.

20% Off All Oru Kayaks

Oru鈥檚 origami-like, foldable kayaks shook up the paddle world when they launched on Kickstarter back in 2012, and ever since, they鈥檝e become a go-to for keen paddlers who love to travel or have limited storage space at home. The Oru fleet and accessories are now on sale for 20 percent off, making it a great time to plan your maiden voyage.

Oru Bay ST Kayak 12鈥3鈥

On the water, the Bay ST is a fast paddler that can handle open-ocean kayaking.

The 12-foot-long kayak also only weighs 26 pounds and folds up into a portable, packable, suitcase-sized bundle.

Oru Haven TT

Paddle for two? The Haven TT is 16 feet long and sits two kayakers comfortably for tandem adventures. It only weighs 41 pounds鈥攁bout half the heft of a standard tandem kayak鈥攁nd packs down small enough that you can stash it in your closet or toss it in the trunk of a hatchback or sedan.

Black Diamond Apollo Lantern

Light up your campground in style with Black Diamond鈥檚 nifty Apollo Lantern. The lantern runs on AA batteries or a built-in, rechargeable lithium-ion battery, and it even features an output to charge electronics at camp, too. The versatile camp lantern has both fold-out legs and a metal hang loop, and the light itself can dim or pulse in strobe mode, so you鈥檝e got a ton of illumination options on deck. Our favorite aspect is the frosted diffuser, which casts a warm, welcome glow.

Big Agnes Tiger Wall 2 Platinum Tent

The only thing better than saving money on gear? Saving weight while backpacking. During REI鈥檚 Fourth of July sale, you can do both, saving over $150 on Big Agnes鈥 ultralight Tiger Wall 2 Platinum tent. Thanks to featherweight nylon ripstop, gossamer polyester mesh, and minimalistic DAC poles, the Tiger Wall 2 Platinum clocks in with a sub-two-pound minimum trail weight. However, it鈥檚 also understandably expensive, making it a hard pill to swallow for backpackers on a budget. While it鈥檚 by no means cheap right now, it鈥檚 definitely cheaper than usual, making it a more reasonable expense for backpackers looking to crush trails this summer.

Black Diamond Men鈥檚 Highline Stretch Shell

Black Diamond鈥檚 highly rated Highline Stretch Shell ticks all the boxes we鈥檙e looking for in a summer rain jacket. It鈥檚 lightweight and packable, fully waterproof thanks to a three-layer BD.dry membrane, kitted with the requisite pit zips and pockets, and it鈥檚 comfy and stretchy to boot. Now on sale for over a hundred bucks off, this deal鈥檚 worth jumping on.

Black Diamond Women鈥檚 Highline Stretch Shell

The women鈥檚 version of the Highline is also on sale. It features the same well-executed feature set and elasticized, waterproof nylon fabric, but cut in a women鈥檚 silhouette.

Pre-Built Bikes On Sale for up to 40% Off

Santa Cruz Tallboy Carbon C S Mountain Bike

Santa Cruz Tallboy Carbon C S Mountain Bike

Some words just sound good together in the same sentence. For example: 鈥淪anta Cruz, Carbon, Tallboy, now on sale.鈥 This trail-ready build is available for 35 percent off, and it comes with a featherweight Carbon C frame kitted out with 120 millimeters VPP rear suspension and a 130 millimeters Fox 34 front fork. Factor in a tried-and-true SRAM GX Eagle 12-speed drivetrain, and this build will have cross-country crushers, Strava addicts, and start gate wizards flying on both the uphill and the down. Best of all? It鈥檚 available in a big size run, from medium to XXL, which is rare for a bike that鈥檚 this heavily discounted. We don鈥檛 expect all of those sizes to be available for long, so consider grabbing one if you need (or, to be honest, want) a new trail companion.

Yeti Cycles SB160 C2 GX Eagle Mountain Bike

Yeti Cycles SB160 C2 GX Eagle Mountain Bike

Looking for a little more junk in the trunk? Peep this Yeti Cycles SB160 C2 GX Eagle build, an enduro annihilator that鈥檚 got our crew checking bank balances. It comes with the obligatory carbon frameand Yeti鈥檚 suspension system. As far as componentry, you鈥檝e got 170 millimeters (up front) and 160 millimeters (in the rear) of turbulence-taming Fox suspension, a SRAM GX Eagle drivetrain and Code R brakes, DT Swiss wheelset laced with Maxxis tires, and a OneUp dropper post. If that doesn鈥檛 get your blood pumping like a spin down a spicy World Cup course, well, you鈥檙e in the wrong place and we can鈥檛 help you. Oh, and last but not least, the build is available in an even bigger size run (small to XXL) and multiple colorways.

Cervelo Aspero Rival XPLR AXS Gravel Bike

Maybe you care a little less about how much travel your bike has, and a little more about how far your bike can travel. The Cervelo Aspero Rival XPLR AXS is ready to go the distance鈥攁nd it鈥檚 ready to get there fast. A revamped iteration of the original Aspero, this gravel grinder features updated geometry for improved handling and enhanced comfort on dust, dirt, and weathered backroads. Electronic SRAM Rival componentry keeps this aerodynamic carbon frame (complete with a tapered carbon fork) rolling on a capable Reserve carbonwheelset.

Bianchi Sprint 105 Road Bike

Bianchi Sprint 105 Road Bike

If you鈥檙e looking to dip into racing, or just want to upgrade from a beater bike to the real deal, the Sprint from Bianchi is worth checking out. The carbon-framed ride features race-ready geometry, a reliable 2×12 Shimano 105 drivetrain, and Velomann alloy hoops. It retails just under $3,000, a modest sum in the world of complete carbon bike builds, but still substantial, no doubt. Fortunately, it鈥檚 currently discounted down to $2,300, making a first-time foray into road racing or more serious cycling a more reasonable affair.


Pivot Firebird Builds for up to 37% Off

Pivot鈥檚 critically acclaimed, enduro-ready Firebird is available for 30 to 37 percent off right now on Competitive Cyclist, depending on the build you select. The savings here are almost as big as this 29er鈥檚 suspension (165mm of travel in the rear and 170mm up front). Now, before we break down any specific builds, a word of warning. Sizing here is limited to large and extra-large frames. So if you鈥檙e a small or medium, it鈥檚 best to keep scrolling.

Pivot Firebird Race XT Mountain Bike
(Photo: Courtesy Pivot)

Pivot Firebird Race XT Mountain Bike

The most affordable (relatively speaking) Firebird on sale at Competitive Cyclist right now is this Race XT build. The carbon frame boasts DW-Link suspension with a rock-gobbling Fox Float X rear shock, while a Float 38 fork provides confidence-inspiring cushioning up front. Shimano鈥檚 SLX componentry will keep you cranking on tech trails, all while keeping the cost more approachable (at least compared to the builds below). This pre-built bike is currently available in large and extra-large sizes, but note that large stock is extremely limited at time of writing.

Pivot Firebird GX/X01 Eagle
(Photo: Courtesy Pivot)

Pivot Firebird GX/X01 Eagle

For a few hundred bucks, you can step up to this GX/X01 build. This Firebird features the same carbon frame and suspension package, but includes SRAM鈥檚 lighter GX Eagle and X01 Eagle componentry. Not a bad play. Also, there are more large sizes available in this build than extra-large sizes, so your choice might depend more on your sizing than drivetrain preferences. Beggars can鈥檛 always be choosers when you鈥檙e scoring 37 percent off on a brand-new bike.

Pivot Firebird Pro XT/XTR X2 Carbon Wheel Mountain Bike
(Photo: Courtesy Pivot)

Pivot Firebird Pro XT/XTR X2 Carbon Wheel Mountain Bike

If you鈥檙e a) in the market for a top-of-the-line enduro bike, b) ride an XL frame, and c) have six grand and change to burn, jump on this one, as there鈥檚 only one of these XT/XTR-equipped bikes left in the Competitive Cyclist outlet. And yes, at this price, you鈥檙e looking at a primo carbon wheelset.


Discounted Bike Frames, Apparel, and More

Mountain Bike Frames on Sale for up to 30% Off

Is your frame cracked, clapped, or otherwise in desperate need of retirement? Starting a new build from scratch? A few select mountain bike frames are currently on sale at Competitive Cyclist, including crowd favorites like the Santa Cruz Hightower CC, Specialized Epic 8, and Rocky Mountain Altitude C.

Gravel Bike Frames for up to 54% Off

The gravel gang can save serious scratch by starting a bike build with a discounted frame from Competitive Cyclist. Options are quite limited in this category, but if any of these four frames from Cervelo or Pivot work for you, your stoke levels are high and the spend is relatively low.

Road Bike Frames for up to 59% Off

We had to do a double-take when we saw one of Cervelo鈥檚 Caledonia frames on sale for just over a grand. Granted, there鈥檚 only one size left, but those are the kinds of deals on offer in Competitive Cyclist鈥檚 road bike clearance sale. Check out more discounted Cervelo and Ridley road bike frames .

Club Ride New West Jersey

Club Ride New West Jersey – Men鈥檚

We鈥檙e big fans of Club Ride鈥檚 mountain bike apparel鈥攊t鈥檚 comfortable and functional on the bike, and it plays double-duty out of the saddle for casual, everyday wear. Case in point? The snazzy New West Jersey, which is crafted from a stretchy, vented polyester fabric and is now on sale for up to 30 percent off.

Pearl Izumi Canyon Short With Liner – Women鈥檚

Pearl Izumi鈥檚 stretch-waisted Canyon shorts come with a removable chamois liner and feature angled side pockets for comfortable pedaling. They鈥檙e also 40 percent off at Competitive Cyclist right now, and come in a variety of sizes and colorways.

Sweet Protection Ronin RIG Photochromic Sunglasses

We鈥檝e been mountain biking in Sweet Protection鈥檚 photochromic sunnies all summer (after ski-touring with them all winter), and they鈥檙e the consummate adventure shades. The slim profile fits well under a helmet without causing any unwanted ear pressure, and the wraparound style provides excellent protection from dust and dirt. Factor in the versatile photochromic lenses鈥攖ransition lenses that adapt to the conditions at hand鈥攁nd these are a must-have accessory for us on sunset rides. In fact, anytime 鈥減artly cloudy鈥 is in the forecast, these are our go-to optics.

Poc Tectal Helmet

Poc Tectal Helmet

POC helmets usually don鈥檛 come cheap, and you get what you pay for from the Scandinavian safety specialist. The Tectal鈥檚 generous venting, full-wrap coverage, and lightweight yet strong construction make it a go-to for mountain bikers. Even better, the helmet is now on sale, in a range of colorways and sizes, for 50 percent off. Buckle up and send it.

Freewheel MTB Half聽 Zip Hoodie for $72 ($179)

Dirt connoisseurs from Vermont鈥檚 Green Mountains to Vancouver鈥檚 North Shore know that mountain bike season isn鈥檛 relegated to clear, sunny skies. A stretchy, wind- and water-resistant pullover crafted from recycled nylon and spandex, the Freewheel MTB Half Zip Hoodie is purpose-built for shredding singletrack in style and comfort. A drop-tail hem keeps your bike shorts dry, while a low-profile hood fits comfortably underneath your helmet. If you could use some mountain bike-specific outerwear, now’s the time to pull the trigger, as the Freewheel line is now 60 percent off.

Freewheel MTB Short Sleeve Jersey for $24 ($60)

A mountain bike jersey for 60 bucks? Not a bad deal. That鈥檚 retail pricing for the Freewheel MTB Short Sleeve, a streamlined, lightweight, sweat-wicking polyester-and-spandex jersey with a drop-tail hem that offers summer singletrack crushers UPF-30+ protection. Now on sale for $24, this short sleeve jersey is an absolute bargain.

Freewheel MTB Long Sleeve Jersey for $28 ($70)

This long-sleeved mountain biking essential utilizes the same stretchy, thermoregulatory fabric as Freewheel Short Sleeve, but with longer sleeves to give bikers more comprehensive protection from sun rays, whipping branches, and inevitable dances in the dirt. Now it can be yours for less than half the retail price. Compared to the $24 tee version, you鈥檙e only paying a couple of bucks per sleeve. In this economy? Sign us up.

Trail Mix Cap for $13 ($32)

We love a gridded fleece hat around here. Stylish and comfortable, breathable and warm, we鈥檒l rock these idiosyncratic caps year-round. From casual summer hangs around the campfire and high-alpine adventures to frosty backcountry ski days, the Trail Mix Cap does it all. Plus, it鈥檚 currently discounted by 60 percent and only $13, making it an excellent last-minute Father鈥檚 Day gift if you鈥檙e still in the market.

Skytour AscentShell for $160 ($399)

The Skytour isn鈥檛 the most waterproof three-layer jacket we鈥檝e ever tested, but the brand鈥檚 AscentShell Air nylon and spandex blend is relatively lightweight and stretchy, offering impressive range of motion while touring. Plus, the breathability is superb. Needless to say, it鈥檚 one of our top recommendations for skiers and splitboarders who spend ample time in the skintrack. Even at a retail price of $400, this jacket is affordable and a smart addition to any backcountry traveler鈥檚 winter kit. At $160, this is a slam-dunk buy, and if it鈥檚 still available in your size, we highly suggest grabbing one. You鈥檒l thank us come winter.

Skytour AscentShell Bibs for $172 ($429)

These bibs feature the same tester-beloved, spandex-injected fabric as the Skytour jackets. Essentially, these are a cross between your favorite yoga pants and go-to backcountry touring fare. They鈥檙e comfy as can be, offer decent waterproofing, and they鈥檙e currently on sale for a steal. We also love the pocket configuration (including an avalanche pocket with an integrated clip), generous vents, burly cuffs and cinchable gaiters for crampon usage and bootpacking, and the broad, comfortable suspenders.

Helium Down Hoodie for $120 ($299)

New puffy day is always exciting, and that鈥檚 more true than ever when you snag one for 60 percent off. Outdoor Research鈥檚 popular Helium Down Hoodie is stuffed with lightweight, lofty, high-quality 800+ fill down, offering a premium warmth-to-weight ratio for any outdoor endeavor. The body of the puffy is made from minimalist Pertex Quantum material, while the hood and shoulders are reinforced for better protection from precipitation. If you鈥檙e on the hunt for a versatile, warm, and affordable insulator, check this one out ASAP, as colorways and sizing are聽very听濒颈尘颈迟别诲.

Sureshot Heated Softshell Gloves for $108 ($260)

If cold hands are a constant concern for you come winter, Outdoor Research鈥檚 Sureshot gloves are a smart investment (especially when you can buy during this OR sales event). The gloves themselves are low-profile and dexterous. Most critically, they feature Outdoor Research鈥檚 ALTIHeat system鈥攐ne of the more effective heated glove frameworks we鈥檝e ever tested. The system is powered by rechargeable lithium batteries, is easy to operate in frigid temps, and has multiple settings so you can save battery or prioritize maximum warmth.

Helium Adrenaline Day Pack 20L for $56 ($139)

We鈥檝e been praising Outdoor Research left and right throughout this article. Allow us, for a moment, to pause and question the aesthetic of this 20-liter Adrenaline Day Pack. Why the bumblebee black and yellow colorway? Why the garish white logo plastered down the bulk of the bag like it鈥檚 the hood of a NASCAR race car? That said, we鈥檙e happy to ignore these questionable design choices because function matters more than fashion around here (and, let鈥檚 be completely honest, we love a 60-percent discount). Moving on, this pack is highly rated by OR customers for its lightweight construction, easily accessed strap pockets, and overall waterproofing. Essentially, it鈥檚 a featherweight, comfortable, and haul-able dry bag, and we can get down with that. Did we mention it鈥檚 60 percent off?

Trail Mix Quarter Zip Pullover for $48 ($120)

For the outdoor enthusiast, a cozy quarter-zip fleece like this Trail Mix pullover might as well be a standard-issue uniform. Ready for cool summer nights around the campfire, international ski trips, and everything in between, the ultra-soft polyester fleece is the definition of versatile. The fabric is both comfy enough for all-day wear and breathable enough for moderate hikes, while chest and hand pockets add utility for travel and daily life.

Snowcrew Jacket for $140 ($349)

If you鈥檙e looking for a resort-ready jacket, the Snowcrew has your name on it. The two-layer exterior features a proprietary Outdoor Research waterproof and breathable membrane, keeping you dry onpowder days. Heavier synthetic insulation keeps your torso toasty, while lighter insulation in the sleeves and hood adds more dexterity and mobility. Not only is this coat discounted by 60 percent off, but it鈥檚 still available in a full size range, from small to XXXL.

Tungsten II Pants for $160 ($399)

Finding a ski pant that can handle backcountry and resort riding alike is tricky enough. Finding one for $160? That鈥檚 damn near impossible. Luckily, Outdoor Research鈥檚 Tungsten II Pants fit the billThe pants feature a touch of synthetic insulation in the seat and thigh, just enough to stay comfortable on rickety fixed-grip chairlift rides and sub-zero powder days without completely torpedoing backcountry utility. An industry-leading Gore-Tex membrane provides top-notch waterproofing, while inner thigh vents allow you to amp up airflow on spring days and grueling ascents.

The 15 Best Father鈥檚 Day Deals on Outdoor Gear

Father鈥檚 Day is just around the corner. To celebrate all of the rad dads out there, our gear team pulled together these Father鈥檚 Day deals that make buying the perfect gift a breeze. Picks range from relatively affordable alpaca socks to pricier (albeit discounted) top-of-the-line smartwatches. In between, you鈥檒l find rooftop tents from Yakima, trekking poles from Leki, and discounts on Arc’teryx gear.

While these deals are all quite different, they do have a few things in common. First off, we know dad would be stoked to unwrap any of these on June 15th. And each and every one has been approved and hand-picked by our gear team.


Garmin鈥檚 having a huge Father鈥檚 Day sale right now, and you can currently save up to $200 on smartwatches, GPS navigators, satellite communicators, golf accessories, you name it. Check out the , or keep reading for a few of our top picks.

Garmin Fenix watch on white background

The F膿nix 8, Garmin鈥檚 most feature-packed, high-performance, sports-oriented smartwatch, is exceptionally versatile. You may already be familiar with the critically acclaimed F膿nix Solar (was $1,000+, now $800+), which, as the name implies, gets a battery boost from the sun. There鈥檚 also the F膿nix E (was $800, now $600), a streamlined option at a more tolerable price point. As of late, though, we鈥檝e been testing and loving the F膿nix 8 AMOLED version, which features an incredibly crisp and detailed touchscreen.

The F膿nix is packed with features like sleep tracking, GPS mapping, smart notifications, a new voice-activated assistant and voice memo capabilities, a handy flashlight, and downloadable music and Bluetooth connectivity so you can listen to jams on runs without lugging your phone. It also comes pre-loaded with an editable avalanche of activities to choose from that go beyond the standard swim, bike, and run. Not to mention, the eighth edition of this watch is also more waterproof, durable, and dive-ready than ever, making it a dream watch for multi-sport adventurers.

One of the biggest gripes Garmin fans have had regarding the updated F膿nix line is price: The larger, 51-millimeter models will cost you $1,200. That said, Garmin鈥檚 biggest dollar-per-dollar discounts during this Father鈥檚 Day sale are on the F膿nix lineup, and you can now save $200 on the entire line, making it a great time to snag one of these killer smartwatches (for dad, or for yourself).

Let鈥檚 be honest here. Gifting a satellite communicator like the Garmin InReach Mini 2 for Father鈥檚 Day isn鈥檛 entirely altruistic, as it provides loved ones with priceless peace of mind whenever dad heads into the wilderness. This lightweight, compact device allows users to send text messages to check in with friends and family, transmit GPS coordinates, or hit an SOS button in a worst-case scenario. For many 国产吃瓜黑料 team members, the InReach Mini 2 is a critical piece of gear they won鈥檛 leave the trailhead without, especially on longer solo adventures and overnights.

Garmin鈥檚 Forerunner 165 Music is a top pick for runners and triathletes who want baseline smartwatch features, training insights, music capabilities, and a streamlined package at a much more affordable price. For reference, the 165 retails for a third of the price of the F膿nix (depending on the exact model), and it鈥檚 now slashed by $50. In fact, the Forerunner 165 Music rose to the top of the heap of our annual watch testing, earning the 鈥渂est for a budget鈥 superlative. If you鈥檙e looking for bang for your buck, this one鈥檚 for you.


socks on white background

If the dad on your list is a hiker who could use a sock drawer refresh, check out this Paka gift box. It features a trio of cozy, cushioned, mid-cut socks, each in a different earthy colorway and all crafted from an alpaca fiber blend. Not only is buying a gift box a way to give his sock drawer a quick refresh, buying in a pack of three will save you some hard-earned cash.


Imagine a Venn diagram. In one circle, you have whiskey aficionados and beer drinkers. In the other, you have outdoor enthusiasts. Smack-dab in the middle of that heavily overlapping Venn diagram is North Drinkware, a boutique crafter of cups from the Pacific Northwest. These cups aren鈥檛 ordinary, mind you, but instead feature famous mountains sculpted into the base of each glass, resulting in some serious inspo with each sip.

If you鈥檙e shopping for a dad who loves his whiskey, the tumblers or heavy-bottom tumblers are the way to go. Cerveza fans will be blown away by the pint glasses. In either case, the thick glass holds cold well, so you can pre-chill glasses to your heart鈥檚 content.

Even cooler than a pre-chilled vessel, however, is the fact that you can shop by mountain range to make the gift customized to the recipient. Check out pre-packaged gift sets that celebrate mountains from Colorado to Hokkaido. Or, for an even more customized gift, build your own box set and pull together a set of glasses featuring mountains that mean something to dad.

Whatever you do, don鈥檛 forget to use the code DADTEN for up to 40 percent off before Father鈥檚 Day.


Chirp is having a hefty , with recovery rollers and wheels up to 67 percent off. The RPM, short for Rolling Percussive Massager, is one of our favorite Chirp recovery tools, and it鈥檚 currently on sale for 20 percent off. An electric, rotating, knobby rolling pin designed to massage tired muscles and work out post-workout kinks, the RPM is a great gift for dads who say 鈥渁ge is just a number鈥 on the ski slopes and 鈥渙uch鈥攃ouch鈥 when they return home. You can use it to roll out everything from biceps and triceps to glutes and quads. Our personal favorite? Slotting it in the included stand and letting it work wonders on tired feet.

pizza oven on white background

For the dad who is serious about pizza, there are few better ovens for at-home use than the Roccbox from Gozney. It鈥檚 a smaller version of the brand鈥檚 commercial pizza ovens, so restaurant-quality pizza is just a few 500掳 seconds away.

It鈥檚 a versatile beast of a pizza oven, providing home pizzaiolos with the option to cook with gas or wood. The box is covered with a silicone jacket that reduces the risk of burns (though it can still burn you, so be careful), and has removable legs and burner that make packing it up a breeze. Right now you can pick it up for $100 less than usual, which is a nothing-to-sniff-at discount of 20%


If dad is an outdoors multihyphenate, he needs a hard-wearing waterproof jacket that does everything. This is where the Beta AR from Arc鈥檛eryx comes in. A lightweight-yet-durable shell designed for mountain adventures of all types, we love this jacket for climbing, hiking, camping, running, mountaineering, and any other alpine activities you can think of.

The jacket leverages Gore-Tex Pro tech for waterproofing, has pit zips to keep things cool when temperatures rise, and has two pockets on the front and one inside for small bits of gear. If he鈥檚 on a climb, scramble, or sketchy approach, have no fear: the stormproof hood is helmet compatible.


Arc鈥檛eryx鈥檚 trail running shoes are not to be slept on. The Sylan Pro is the brand鈥檚 most plush running shoe offering, making it ideal for tackling long trail runs or hikes where comfort is paramount. A rocker midsole provides an easy footfall that propels the wearer forward with each step and the 28mm stack height ensures there is plenty of foam underfoot.

The Sylan Pros are very comfortable, but they鈥檙e also designed for protection. The integrated knit collar keeps rocks and scree from finding its way into the shoes and polyurethane-coated upper keeps the foot protected from bigger rocks and roots. Finally, the 6mm lugs and Vibram sole give Dad the confidence he needs on ascents, descents and everywhere in between.

Don鈥檛 let Dad get caught without power. The Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 is the perfect companion for a car camping trip or glamping adventure, delivering 1500W of AC and 100W of USB-C power that charges聽 phones, lights, or the fancy espresso machine that he won鈥檛 leave home without.

There are six output ports that pull from 1070Wh of power, charging an iPhone 74 times, a laptop 14 times, or a Starlink for 10 hours on one full charge. This is plenty for keeping a bustling campsite going for days on end, meaning the adventure never has to stop (at least, until the real world starts calling).


Leki has taken the trail running, hiking, and skiing to the next level with its innovative poles, which are highlighted by the brand鈥檚 Shark system, which uses integrated gloves to provide leverage and power transmission going up and downhill. The Cross Trail 3s are ideal for hiking, backpacking, or trail running, giving dad an extra couple of points of contact with the ground when things get tricky.

They come in a couple of different sizes and pack down small for easy storage, whether he鈥檚 packing them away at home or in his pack during a runnable descent. Heat-treated aluminum shafts are ultra tough and lightweight, and the tips have an interchangeable basket system that lets him adapt to the conditions for the best possible support.


In our opinion, Rab is seriously slept on when it comes to the best brands in the outdoor biz. The British brand makes exceptional mountain gear, from its apparel to bags and beyond. The Positron down jacket is the perfect companion for all seasons, from skiing or hiking in the winter to cold summer mornings high in the mountains.

A Pertex Quantum Pro shell staves off light rain and wind, while lofty 800-fill down keeps him toasty warm without any excess weight. The adjustable hood fits over a helmet, and wrist and hem adjusters make it easy to keep wind from making its way into the jacket. Summer is always a great time to pick up a warm down jacket, since most brands take this as an opportunity to flash some significant markdowns.


If he loves a pocket knife but doesn鈥檛 want something that feels like it belongs strapped to a Navy SEAL, the James Brand Carter is a top choice. The brand makes great knives and EDC, using high-quality VG-10 stainless steel to make the Carter鈥檚 blade and G10 fiberglass laminate for the handle.

Not only does it perform, it just looks cool. The thumb disc on top of the blade stands out for its design, but is also an immensely useful feature, allowing him to flip the knife into position with ease. The reversible pocket clip will let him stow the knife anywhere he wants, and the trusty slide lock mechanism is intuitive and reliable. These things rarely go on sale, so this is a great chance to save yourself more than $20 while also snagging a great gift.

A rooftop tent is every guy鈥檚 dream. It proves his outdoor bonafides when he drives around town with it folded up, and looks even cooler when it鈥檚 splayed fully open at the campsite. Yakima makes some of the best you can buy, indeed, the SkyRise has been one of our favorites since it was first launched in 2016.

The 3-person tent provides an ample footprint for comfortable sleep at night while doubling as an awning that鈥檚 perfect for hanging out under with a deck of cards and a drink at the end of a long day on the trail, lake, or wherever his car camping adventures take him. The best feature, however, is probably the 2.5-inch wall-to-wall mattress pad that will have him drifting off into the most peaceful sleep of his life. We never see these at this steep of a discount, so if he鈥檚 had his eye on a rooftop tent, now is the time to surprise him with one.


Every dad needs a Leatherman 鈥 it鈥檚 pretty much a requirement at this point. The Wave Plus is one of the most versatile multi-tools you can buy, packing 18 different tools into its small frame. It has needle-nose and regular pliers, wire/hard-wire cutters, an electrical crimper, a wire stripper, a 420HC knife, serrated knife and saw, and others.

The multi-tool provides Dad with anything he needs to get the job done at home, at camp, or in the backcountry. Plus, it comes with the signature nylon sheath with snap closure, just like the ones your dad鈥檚 dad and your dad鈥檚 dad鈥檚 dad had in their toolbox.
