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.
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.
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.
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.
