Arc’teryx’s Sabre line is consistently rated highly by gear reviewers and customers. It’s some of the best outerwear in the game, and I fully back the high praise. The Arc’Teryx Sabre Pants have a three-layer, 80-denier nylon ripstop fabric over a Gore-Tex membrane that offers skiers and riders a balance between lightweight mobility and hardwearing, steadfast weatherproofing. The shell-style pants are uninsulated, making them versatile enough to handle any conditions from mid-winter to late spring. Speaking of spring, the Sabre pants also boast a pair of thigh vents for airflow and a soft-to-the-touch polyester backer that’s comfortable even when forgoing full-length base layer bottoms on warmer days.

Weighing in at three-quarters of a pound, the Arc’teryx Beta SL Jacket is a lightweight, breathable, and versatile style. With a waterproof Gore-Tex three-layer shell and a comfortable, minimalistic C-knit backer, it’s a stellar windproof style. It also offers a helmet-compatible hood, Recco rescue reflector, and ventilating pit zips. Although it’s not the most heavy-duty option in the Arc’Teryx lineup, the Beta SL is an ultra-packable rain jacket that plays double duty in moderate snow.

from $525+ ($750)

This burly ski jacket can handle in-bounds storm days, mechanized backcountry missions, and human-powered tours alike, making it ideal for serious skiers and riders. The regular-fit style incorporates thoughtful details from a helmet-compatible hood that you can cinch with one hand to pit zips for extra ventilation, an array of internal and external pockets (including a pass pocket for easy RFID use), and a Recco rescue reflector. The weatherproofing and ruggedness are also top-tier: the three-layer design utilizes a bombproof Gore-Tex material made from 70-denier nylon face fabric for ultimate protection.

for $126 ($180)

I’m a huge fan of trigger mitts鈥攁 cross between classic gloves and mitts, or what Arc’Teryx brands here as an “Index Mitten.” These lobster-claw-like winter essentials keep your pinky, ring, and middle fingers grouped together, providing the warmth of a mitt. In contrast, your index finger and thumb are housed separately, so that you can enjoy the dexterity of a glove. The Arc’Teryx Sabre Index Mitts are ideal for cold days in the resort or backcountry, with a Gore-Tex membrane for reliable waterproofing, leather palms for durability and grip, and PrimaLoft inserts for trustworthy warmth. Plus, they’re currently 30% off.

for $126 ($180)

For those who prefer the feel of traditional mittens, or if you’re looking for maximum warmth and mainly stay in bounds, check out Arc’Teryx’s Sabre Mitts. They boast the same waterproof Gore-Tex membrane, robust insulation, and reinforced leather palms as the Sabre Index Mitts, but they offer skiers and riders the classic, toasty appeal of a standard mitt.

for $133 ($165)

If Arc’Teryx isn’t on your radar for trail running gear or footwear, consider this a PSA. Earning a coveted “top-rated” badge from REI customers, the Norvan LD 3 has an impressive score of 4.6 out of 5 stars at the time of writing. It’s also currently 19% off. Although I haven’t personally tried these out yet, I’ve been impressed after putting in some Tahoe trail mileage on the featherweight, currently sold-out .

from $205+ ($300)

I’ve never tested an Arc’Teryx mid-layer I didn’t like. Case in point? Arc’Teryx Atom Hoodie. The DWR-treated face fabric blocks wind well and moves fluidly, whether scrambling a summit ridge, touring in the backcountry, or just walking around town. The stretchy fleece side panels are cozy and breathable, and CoreLoft insulation adds warmth for maintaining body temps in cold weather. It’s practical from summer to winter鈥攁nd currently on sale for up to 30% off.

from $421+ ($600)

Get prepped for arctic adventures, mountaineering missions, and ski traverses with Arc’Teryx’s Cerium SV Down Hoody. The windproof ripstop shell is lightweight for packability and windproof and DWR-treated for moderate weather protection. However, it’s the puffy’s superior insulation that impressed me most. Arc’Teryx stuffed the baffled jacket with 1,000-fill power goose down鈥攙irtually the best warmth-to-weight ratio鈥攁nd added warm-when-wet synthetic paneling in zones where you need extra breathability. I’m a big fan of this piece, and it’s coming with me on trips to Revelstoke, BC, and Alta, Norway, this spring.

for $320 ($400)

If you need a new go-to puffy for daily adventures, check out the Arc’Teryx Cerium Hoodie. The standard Cerium design isn’t as heavy鈥攐r pricey鈥攁s the listed above. Comparatively, it’s less of an expedition-grade puffy and more of a midweight insulator for normal winter conditions, meaning it will definitely get more day-to-day use. A combo of 850-fill goose down and synthetic insulation panels provide impressive warmth, and it comes in a stuff sack for easy stashing in your touring pack.

for $140 ($200)

At under 3 pounds, this inflatable dinghy isn鈥檛 exactly ocean-worthy or ready for heavy rapids. But it is petite and packable, making it a fun addition on backpacking trips. We鈥檝e used it to access islands in the middle of alpine lakes, fish backwoods ponds, and float lazy rivers. REI has also knocked 30% off at the moment, so the LiteWater Dinghy is a little lighter on the wallet this week.

from $314+ ($449)

Backcountry鈥檚 in-house brand is often our go-to recommendation when skiers and boarders are looking for Gore-Tex outerwear at a relatively reasonable price. That鈥檚 especially true now, as the is now up to 30% off. This technical shell has a freeride-friendly fit and is available in three colors. It鈥檚 also designed with a waterproof and breathable Gore-Tex two-layer construction with a rugged, recycled face fabric, and all the pockets and accouterments a resort ripper could want.

They also have an articulated fit for an unimpeded range of motion and a drop seat for stress-free bathroom breaks in the lodge (or in the backcountry).

for $185 ($231)

If you like to go fast鈥攁nd save money while doing it鈥擮akley鈥檚 RSLV sunnies are worth ogling. (Oakley often makes some of our favorite sunglasses.) Currently on sale for 20% off, these sport-friendly shades were designed to maximize coverage as well as your peripheral view. The wrapping lenses also have Oakley鈥檚 Prizm technology, created to enhance colors and contrast, helping wearers see more details. We particularly like the grippy contact points at the nose and ears for a reliable, secure fit, no matter if you鈥檙e railing singletrack or hop-turning down a technical couloir.

for $335 ($415)

We鈥檝e said it once, we鈥檝e said it a thousand times: we鈥檙e big fans of 笔补迟补驳辞苍颈补鈥檚 Black Hole line around here. This, in particular, is 笔补迟补驳辞苍颈补鈥檚 biggest wheeled . It has the same adventure-ready, weather-resistant, TPU-laminated polyester ripstop as the standard duffels, but it鈥檚 less back-breaking in transit thanks to large, smooth-rolling wheels and a strong, telescoping handle set into an internal frame. If you鈥檙e a world traveler who appreciates both portability and durability, this roller gives you the best of both worlds.

for $68 ($136)

If you want to save money on ski goggles, opt for a cylindrical lens (they鈥檙e cheaper than their more complicated and curved spherical or toric counterparts). You can also keep the price tag more palatable if you avoid goggles that have interchangeable lens systems. Although the doesn鈥檛 come with a spare lens, and there鈥檚 no quick-and-easy interchangeable lens technology at play, the lenses are replaceable (but you wouldn鈥檛 want to do it on the lift.) These Oakleys are some of the . They’re simple, stylish, and still offer top-notch optics on the slopes thanks to contrast-augmenting Prizm lens technology. Now slashed down to $68, they’re an absolute bargain.

笔补迟补驳辞苍颈补鈥檚 reputation precedes itself. In addition to a storied social and environmental ethos, the outfitter is renowned for its premium, well-designed apparel and outdoor equipment. Unfortunately for gear enthusiasts on a budget, that high-quality product usually comes with a high price tag. The operative word here is 鈥渦sually.鈥� 笔补迟补驳辞苍颈补鈥檚 currently offloading last season鈥檚 styles for up to 50% off.

Our gear team sifted through hundreds of deals to find these tester-approved Patagonia offerings that we highly recommend.

笔补迟补驳辞苍颈补鈥檚 are trusted by everyone from expedition skiers and climbers to grom-wrangling parents. The luggage line owes its popularity to the brawny, weather-resistant, TPU-coated fabric, not to mention capacious main compartments, smart organizational touches, and a multitude of carry options. We鈥檝e actually awarded this 55-liter version 鈥渂est overall鈥� honors in our annual luggage test, but you can鈥檛 go wrong with any Patagonia piece that bears the .

for $349 ($499)

Even at full price, the is a damn good deal. Why? It comes with a lightweight, insulated liner jacket that zips out of a separate waterproof and breathable shell. The liner features 60g of warm-when-wet synthetic insulation, and it can be worn solo in the mountains or around town. You can also rock the shell as a standalone outer layer on warmer ski days. When zipped together, the sum is greater than the parts, and the 3-in-1 Powder Town thrives as a warm and weatherproof ski jacket that鈥檚 an absolute steal at 30% off right now.

for $384 ($549)

If you typically run cold on the hill, adding 笔补迟补驳辞苍颈补鈥檚 to your winter wardrobe is a smart play. Stuffed with synthetic, recycled polyester insulation, the Insulated Storm Shift is 笔补迟补驳辞苍颈补鈥檚 warmest ski jacket. More specifically, the Storm Shift features 60g insulation in zones like the sleeves and hood for mobility, while heavier 100g in the torso provides the core with extra warmth. Essentially, this mapped insulation allows skiers to stay toasty without sacrificing any valuable range of motion. Not only that, but the coat boasts a two-layer Gore-Tex shell fabric, supplying top-tier waterproofing for snowy storm days.

for $164 ($329)

The ticks all the boxes we鈥檙e looking for in an insulator. The shell fabric is a lightweight, packable, windproof, DWR-treated nylon sourced from recycled fishing nets, and the baffles are generously stuffed with 800-fill down that鈥檚 responsibly sourced, according to the brand. Factor in a cozy adjustable hood and a well-designed array of pockets (including an interior chest pocket that doubles as a stuff sack), and this hoodie isn鈥檛 just a stylish winter puffy鈥搃t鈥檚 a reliable, utilitarian year-round essential.

for $69 ($139)

We mentioned earlier how you can鈥檛 go wrong with 笔补迟补驳辞苍颈补鈥檚 Black Hole line, and the outfitter鈥檚 cult-classic is similarly stellar. A technical thermal layer that鈥檚 perfect for layering over a light base layer T-shirt or long-sleeve, the provides extra warmth during chilly adventures. We love the pullover silhouette and the useful zippered chest pocket as well as the Polartec Power Grid fabric鈥檚 feel. This material is crafted from a recycled polyester and spandex blend, providing breathability as well as a stretchy fit. Not to mention, we love that it鈥檚 over 50% off right now.

for $131 ($219)

Our backcountry ski and splitboard testers are big fans of the TechFace rendition of 笔补迟补驳辞苍颈补鈥檚 R1. The breathable double-weave fabric (another polyester and spandex blend) feels soft and warm to the touch without trapping heat in, keeping things comfortable even if you鈥檙e rocking a T-shirt underneath and sweating up a storm. The exterior, though, is what makes this one of the most versatile midlayers in the R1 line: it鈥檚 purposefully smooth, durable, and treated with a DWR finish, allowing the aptly named TechFace to double as a softshell outer layer that withstands mild weather and howling winds.

for $27 ($39)

Another major highlight from the Black Hole line, 笔补迟补驳辞苍颈补鈥檚 Cube packing cubes are a gamechanger for messy packers. The Cubes come in three sizes (, , and ), all of which are crafted from tough, travel-ready polyester ripstop with a TPU-film laminate for extra weather and abrasion resistance.

The Cube 3L is basically an over-built dopp kit that鈥檒l last forever. We鈥檝e mainly used the 3L for toiletries or electronics while traveling, but we鈥檝e also deployed this smaller size as a makeshift hip belt pocket while on a splitboard expedition in the Arctic Circle, threading backpack hip straps through the Cube鈥檚 external daisy chain loops. Long story short, this compact organizer is bomber and practical, and we can鈥檛 recommend it more highly. But a little extra advice: Mix and match sizes to build a kit that meets your needs.

for $45 ($65)

Unlike the Cube 3L, which is the smallest size option, the is the largest style. This supersized version sports a clamshell design and mesh dividers separating the two main compartments. You鈥檇 be surprised just how much you can stuff in these sizable packing cubes. We typically utilize this capacity for organizing shirts, pants, gloves, goggles, outerwear, and so forth.

for $45 ($65)

A sporty version of the increasingly popular cross-body sling pack, 笔补迟补驳辞苍颈补鈥檚 is a pragmatic, unisex accessory that any traveler will dig. Thanks to the comfortable padding and asymmetrical strap, the sling pack can handle all-day adventures and international travel. The main compartment features dual zippered pockets, facilitating on-the-go organization, and a front pocket incorporated into the shoulder strap is ideal for stashing anything from your phone to chapstick. While the packable volume is only eight liters, a pair of buckling straps multiply hauling potential, accommodating yoga mats, rain jackets, travel towels, and more. Whether we鈥檙e hopping on an international flight or grabbing a bite on a mountain town main street, chances are this Patagonia pack will come in handy.

There are certain stores that bargain hunters swear by. Costco, for instance, has an army of card-carrying loyalists, patrons who adore the bulk discounts, juicy rotisserie chickens, and inflation-proof, buck-fifty hot dogs. Steep and Cheap, we鈥檇 argue, has a similar allure for the penny-pinching ski bum or backpacker on a budget.

While Steep and Cheap is usually a go-to for bargain-hunting gearheads, that鈥檚 especially true now. The site is in the middle of its 鈥�12 Days of Cheapness鈥� sale鈥攁 pre-holiday event full of half-off (and deeper) discounts. Whether you鈥檙e banging out last-minute holiday shopping or browsing for a bargain that might catch your eye, this sale is worth checking out.

Engineering a lightweight backpack that can handle a heavy load is tricky, but Granite Gear does it well. The Blaze 60 is an award-winning pack that comes in at a cool three pounds (size regular) thanks to lightweight material choices like thin compression straps, small buckles, and a durable yet minimalistic 100-denier nylon fabric. The Blaze also has a removable lid鈥攁n added bonus for gram counters. But most impressively, the bag’s cush back panel, lightweight yet stout frame, and suspension system can handle maxed-out loads like a champ.

We did a double take when we saw the Foray II on sale for up to 60% off. A regular top pick from 国产吃瓜黑料‘s gear team, this jacket has reliable weatherproofing from Gore-Tex Paclite fabric and best-in-class ventilation thanks to Outdoor Research鈥檚 proprietary hip-to-pit zips. We鈥檝e tested this best-selling jacket on mountaineering trips, backpacking missions, rainy fly-fishing adventures, you name it. It鈥檚 notably versatile and, for the price, the best rain protection you can get鈥攁nd that鈥檚 before Steep and Cheap slashed the price.

from $132 ($245)

If you鈥檙e holiday shopping for a skier or snowboarder, here鈥檚 a pro tip: get them goggles. Even if they have multiple pairs at home, goggles are easy to scratch or lose, so adding another to the stockpile is always welcome. A more likely scenario? Their goggles are already thrashed, and a solid pair of gogs like these Smith Squad Mags will be a major come-up for their winter kit.

Why the Squad Mags? The cylindrical style of the lens is classic, looks sharp, and fits well with a variety of helmets. It鈥檚 also cheaper than Smith鈥檚 more complex lens shapes, like the . Last but not least, we love both Smith鈥檚 lens interchangeability system and the ChromaPop lenses themselves. All told, these goggles are high-quality and perform well in the high alpine.

from $187 ($300)

NEMO鈥檚 Stargaze, a perpetual darling camp chair of 国产吃瓜黑料 staff, is an easy-to-erect mishmash of your favorite collapsible camp chair, granny鈥檚 rocker, and dad鈥檚 hammock. A low-slung seat hangs between two stable poles, allowing the camp chair to rock and recline. Paired with a cooler, stump, boulder, or another au natural footrest, the Stargaze is hard to beat when it comes to fireside comfort. It can be a pricey camp accouterment, but right now, it’s slashed for up to 25% off.

from $47 ($95)

Sometimes (most times), a funky fleece is the perfect gift. Instead of a potentially boring solid black, Kavu鈥檚 Teannaway Fleece Jacket is as loud as it gets. Available in psychedelic prints and retro squiggle patterns, the Teannaway looks debonair from trail to tavern and is always game for a good time. Kavu made sure the fleece isn鈥檛 lacking in the comfort department, either鈥攖he polar fleece is plush, thick, cozy, and warm. For cool afternoons at the crag, s鈥檓ore binges, and more, this cozy gift is always a hit.

We鈥檝e been reporting on Rab鈥檚 insulation expertise for years now. The British outfitter鈥檚 puffies and sleeping bags are almost always, as our friends across the pond say, 鈥渕int.鈥� The Mythic series is no exception, and the Ultra 180 sleeping bag is stuffed with premium 900-fill goose down. This impressively lofty down鈥攁long with a 7-denier ripstop fabric and a slender silhouette鈥攌eeps the weight of this 32-degree bag at just over a pound and a quarter. If you鈥檙e a sleeping bag nerd, you already know that鈥檚 as light as it gets. And even if you鈥檙e not a sleeping bag nerd, you know that 45% off is a smokin鈥� deal.

If you鈥檙e looking for solid gear at a reasonable price, Backcountry鈥檚 in-house brand is always worth a gander. This massive, 105-liter All Around Duffel is fairly affordable from the jump and is currently half off. It鈥檚 also crafted from a rugged, 300-denier polyester PVC fabric that can handle everything from air travel to donkeys, yaks, and more esoteric (and hard-wearing) modes of transportation. There鈥檚 more to love, too: zippered organizer compartments, a waterproof pocket for stashing wet duds, and multiple carry options (grab handles, duffel straps, and padded backpack-style harness).

for $182 ($260)

MSR鈥檚 Honcho Poncho Down is a hybrid between your favorite puffy jacket and a classic poncho. It鈥檚 somewhat ironic, isn鈥檛 it? Pairing a technical 20-denier, DWR-treated nylon and 650-fill, hydrophobic down with a completely non-technical poncho cut. But it just works. The Honcho Poncho Down is ridiculously comfortable and super cozy to wear around camp. This is the kind of gift that gets unwrapped with a chuckle, but quickly turns into a piece they won鈥檛 adventure without.

for $33 ($55)

Affordable polarized shades are tough to come by, but Suncloud鈥檚 sunnies typically retail for a more-than-reasonable 55 bucks. These Milestone sunglasses, however, are currently on sale for 40% off. Clocking in at sub-$35, these are a radical stocking stuffer. If there鈥檚 anyone on your list who might dig the fast-looking matte white frames and polarized, reflective blue lenses, this is a score worth scooping up.

from $60 ($120)

When it comes to base layers, merino is the way to go. The natural fiber is soft, comfortable, has anti-stink properties, wicks moisture well, and offers an unbeatable warmth-to-weight ratio. And when it comes to merino base layers, Smartwool puts out some of the best in the business. Case in point: this Classic Thermal Merino quarter-zip top. We love the weight of the 100% merino fabric, which comes in at 250 grams per square meter鈥攖he sweet spot for cold days in the mountains. The quarter-zip style, as well as the natural moisture-management properties of merino, helps dump heat during high-output activity. Speaking of high activity, we expect these layers to fly off Steep and Cheap鈥檚 shelves, as they鈥檙e now up to 50% off.

This SOL bivvy, in particular, is lightweight, affordable, and comes with an emergency whistle and tinder cord鈥攖wo extras that could be literal life-savers.

One of the comfiest sleeping bags we鈥檝e ever tested, Sea To Summit鈥檚 Ascent 15F is a winner for a few reasons. Thanks to its 750-fill goose-down insulation, the sleeping bag is light enough to pack on backpacking adventures. But what sets this sleeping bag apart from the competition is the zipper configuration. The Ascent features a zippered footbox and dual zippers at the shoulders, enabling campers to wear the bag as a full-body poncho at camp. Those dual zippers also allow hot sleepers to filet the bag open on warmer nights. Factor in the roomy width, and the Ascent has little in common with run-of-the-mill mummy bags (and we mean that as a compliment). Last but not least, this dreamy sleeping bag is currently on sale for up to 25% off, so don鈥檛 sleep on this sale.

If you鈥檙e on the hunt for a capable down hoodie at a reasonable price, REI鈥檚 Magma series is worth considering鈥攁nd that鈥檚 before the Co-op slashes 30% off this week. Stuffed with high-quality, lofty, and lightweight 850-fill goose down, the Magma has an impressive warmth-to-weight ratio. It also boasts zippered hand pockets, packs down into the chest pocket, and has a cinchable, cozy hood that鈥檚 ready for whatever winter throws at you. We鈥檙e especially digging the two-tone gray option鈥攊t鈥檚 a subtle, stylish spin on a classic piece of any outdoor enthusiast鈥檚 winter wardrobe. If you鈥檙e holiday shopping for a skier, snowboarder, mountaineer, ice climber鈥攐r anyone who enjoys recreating in sub-freezing temps鈥攖his insulator is right on the money.

Naming a bib after Mt. Baker鈥攐ne of the most precip-prone locales on the planet鈥攊s a bold choice, but this Flylow outerwear walks the walk. The fabric is a beefy, hard-wearing three-layer polyester with an Intuitive membrane that scores a 20K/20K waterproof and breathable rating. (Translation: this bib can hang, no matter how deep the storm totals.) Flylow specializes in crafting products for folks like ski patrollers who are hard on gear and always increases durability in high-friction zones. In this case, Flylow bolstered the cuffs and knees of these already burly bibs with even tougher 1000-denier paneling. Built to last and currently on sale for 20% off, these bibs are a welcome addition to any powder-chaser鈥檚 kit.

for $262 ($350)

Travel backpacks are typically well-organized and sleek. Trail-ready packs, on the other hand, tend to feature better load suspension and more comfortable carry systems. Matador鈥檚 Globerider series offers backpackers, digital nomads, and wanderlust-struck travelers the best of both worlds鈥攕o you can take on the world on your terms. Along with a trail-ready harness and padded straps, the Globerider has exceptionally well-thought-out organizational features like a hidden passport pocket, compartmentalized storage zones, and an easy-access clamshell opening. Not to mention, the 45-liter size is the maximum limit for carry-ons on most airlines.

for $22 ($30)

We love a Buff鈥攅specially one that鈥檚 stitched from warm-yet-wicking anti-stink merino. Light enough to rock on summer hikes and welcome neck and face protection on powder days, these neck gaiters are as versatile as they come. Merino isn鈥檛 cheap, though鈥攁t least not usually. This week, you can stock up on merino neck tubes and other Buff stuff for 28% off.

for $240 ($300)

If you鈥檝e been looking for a good excuse to become an REI member, many of these last-minute sales (and REI sales in general) are exclusively available to card-carrying co-op customers. Case in point? REI members can score 20% off one full-price Yeti item like the LoadOut GoBox 60 Gear Case. Our testers love this gear storage solution. It鈥檚 durable as hell (a hallmark of Yeti gear), has a divider and removable caddy for organizational options, and the lid boasts integrated pockets for stashing easy-to-lose gear. Our primary complaint? The cost鈥攚hich is now slashed by 20%.

for $96 ($120)

A toolbox that fits in your pocket, Leatherman鈥檚 18-tool Wave Plus is currently available for 20% off at REI right now. The nifty implement has multiple blades, including a razor-sharp standard blade, a serrated option, and a bough-slicing saw. The compact workhorse also offers everything from needle-nose pliers and a file to scissors and a screwdriver (with multiple bits). All tools considered, this recently updated, customer-beloved multi-tool comes in handy at home, on the road, and on the trail.

for $34 ($45)

Turtle Fur鈥檚 Damon Hat has everything we鈥檙e looking for in a winter beanie. Style? Check. Comfort? Check. Warmth? Check. Double-digit discount? Double check! We love the softness of the lambswool and nylon blend, the fleece lining that鈥檚 ready for frosty mornings and dusk ski tours, and the overall vibe of the knit pattern. The 25% discount doesn鈥檛 hurt, either.

for $22 ($32)

Slow Loris鈥� t-shirts are by no means hardcore outdoor gear, but they鈥檙e worth highlighting here for a few reasons. First off, they鈥檙e crafted from 100% cotton, preshrunk, and incredibly comfortable. Secondly, the graphics are artistic and unique without being kitschy or overwhelmingly childlike鈥攁 rarity in the outdoor world. And last but not least, they鈥檙e on sale for 30% off. If you鈥檙e looking for a gift that your loved one will wear week in, week out鈥攐r you鈥檙e just updating your own daily wardrobe鈥攖hese tees are a smart play.

for $195 ($275)

REI engineered its Stormhenge collection for no-holds-barred winter weather. Available in both , these storm-worthy styles pair mapped insulation with a waterproof and breathable hard-shell fabric. More specifically, REI utilized lofty, DWR-treated 850-fill goose down to keep the core warm, and warm-when-wet synthetic polyester insulation in high-heat zones like the side panels. REI鈥檚 in-house two-layer nylon shell provides solid waterproofing while keeping the price tag low. Factor in features like ventilating pit zips and a plethora of well-designed pockets and the Stormhenge collection offers winter-lover鈥檚 excellent bang for buck. Our advice? Snag a parka for a comfortable, cozy, around-town companion, or go with a standard ski jacket to rock it on the slopes.

There鈥檚 a whole lotta hubbub about Black Friday in the outdoor industry. If you鈥檙e on one side of the issue鈥攊.e., hating Black Friday and the capitalist excess it stands for鈥攜ou are unlikely to get pumped about the rest of this article. But if you鈥檙e like me and you do research beforehand and hold out on purchases until they are on sale, then Black Friday is a great way to save on things you were planning to buy anyway. Below are six items I have either tested for this publication in the past or use on the regular in my day-to-day life. I swear by every single one, even in normal times. But this week, you can snag up to 30 percent off, making now a great time to strike. This is the stuff that’s worth waiting around all year for.

Swiftwick National Park Socks

The Product: Blister-proof socks with flair
The Deal:听11/25 to 12/2, you can get 25% off sitewide

By my best calculation, I have put more than 500 miles into my pair of Swiftwick Yosemite National Park Socks and they are still the first pair I grab from my drawer when I鈥檓 headed out for a run. They were my sock of choice for a 50-mile race I ran back in 2021 because the six-inch cuff helped keep rocks out of my socks, and the Yosemite print added a little flair to my kit. In my opinion, Swiftwick socks are the best at blister mitigation, which is why this pair remains my favorite a few years and hundreds of miles later.

DUER Performance Denim Slim

The Product: The highest performing slim-fit jeans I have tested
The Deal: 11/25 to 12/1, up to 50% off sitewide

Back in the summer of 2018, we published an article boldly titled, 鈥淒uer Makes the Best Jeans. Here Are Our Favorites,鈥� based on the fact that an inordinate number of people putting this publication together at the time were all wearing DUER jeans as our daily drivers. While I did not contribute any writing to that article, I was one of the louder voices suggesting we write about the Canadian brand due to the fact that I was wearing a pair of slim-fit performance-denim jeans at least three days a week for everything from work meetings to re-working the irrigation in my garden. Ten months later I wrote about how their fleece lined jeans 鈥渃hanged my life. Superlative headlines aside鈥擨 am still wearing a pair of the slim-fit performance-denim jeans the DUER sent me back in 2018. They continue to fit in such a tailored fashion that I can pull them off when business casual is the expected attire and stretch like the dickens thanks to the two-percent spandex, 28-percent polyester, and 70-percent cotton weave. So yeah, after six years, I can say that they are indeed the best jeans.

Buff Tech Fleece Hat

The Product: The ultralight, ultrawarm hat of your dreams
The Deal: 11/25 to 12/3, up to 40% off select styles sitewide

Back in 2018, I did a comprehensive test of cold weather running hats and absolutely gushed over Buff鈥檚 extraordinarily comfortable fleece option. At the time, I wrote: 鈥渢he Tech Fleece elicited notes like 鈥楲UXURIOUS!!鈥� and even an 鈥榦oh la la!!!!鈥欌�� Embarrassing number of exclamation points aside, the brushed polyamide interior was so supple on my ears and forehead that I forgot I was wearing it while running. This beanie is still a go-to six years later. Buff鈥檚 current technical fleece hat looks a little different from its predecessor, but is still extremely comfortable thanks to the four-way stretch DryFlx material it was built from (this, by the way, is an upgrade from the hat I have held on to all these years.) Forgive the brand’s intentional misspelling and credit DryFlx鈥檚 71-percent recycled material and hearty four-percent dose of elastane for a build that doesn鈥檛 pin down your ears and provides a similar, wildly soft feel.

ARMRA Immune Revival

The Product: Stomach-settling superfood supplement
The Deal: 11/28 to 12/2, get 20% off jars and bundles with promo code MYREVIVAL20, and 10% off sitewide with code MYREVIVAL10

My wife and I are definitely planning to buy this colostrum from ARMRA when it goes on sale because we typically pay full price鈥攁nd it鈥檚 always worth every penny. I am always skeptical of superfoods that use as many superlatives as ARMRA does, but we have been using this stuff daily in our household for months and have noticed serious benefits to our guts and digestive systems. I will spare you details, but can say with confidence that Immune Revival helps keep our stomachs feeling good and settled鈥攕omething I鈥檓 grateful for both while running and during everyday life.

KT Tape Pro

The Product: Stretchy support tape for muscles and joints
The Deal: 11/19 to 11/30, get 25% off sitewide

I am falling apart at 41 as a result of treating my body like it was invincible in my 20s (and most of my 30s). In the past six months, I鈥檝e watched a massage therapist, chiropractor, and physical therapist all wrap up different parts of this breaking body using KT tape, and every time, I鈥檝e walked out of their offices feeling like I had a little hug supporting my injuries. It鈥檚 a great way to help relieve pain and speed up recovery. I even have a roll of KT Tape at home that I bought to treat my own plantar fasciitis. KT Tape is comfortable going on, stretchy as hell so it doesn鈥檛 feel too binding, and comes off without much hassle.

Kane Footwear Active Recovery Shoe

The Product: Cloud-like slip-ons for post-workout recovery
The Deal: 11/20 to 12/2, BOGO 25% off

I named the Kane Revive Active the most versatile recovery shoe in a recent footwear test because it helped me cushion and support hammered legs but still wore like a regular shoe in all the ways I wanted it to. The footbed texture and smooth ride made the Kanes feel like a recovery shoe, while plentiful heel support, decent breathability, and a more streamlined silhouette made them functional enough for running errands. This is actually my second pair of these funky-looking recovery kicks鈥攁nd likely won鈥檛 be my last.

Oyuki’s are a glove-meets-mitten hybrid: the thumb and index finger are individually housed for on-the-hill dexterity while the pinky through middle finger are grouped in a mitten-like cluster for warmth. Crafted by one of our favorite glove companies (seriously, we’ve been fans of Oyuki, and these Pep Trigger mitts, for years), these particular trigger mitts are designed for deep days in Japan and co-signed by Utah pro skier Pep Fujas. They have high-quality, durable leatherwork, a Gore-Tex membrane for waterproofing, and PrimaLoft insulation for coziness in the cold. And most importantly, they’re now heavily discounted at Evo.

for $269 ($449)

We’re big fans of Gore-Tex outerwear on and off the slopes鈥攖he waterproof and breathable membrane sets the standard for ski gear. Thanks to Backcountry’s in-house branding, the stylish, feature-rich, resort-ready Cottonwoods jackets and bibs are always relatively affordable for Gore-Tex-equipped outerwear. However, those reasonable prices are currently slashed by 40%, entering extreme bargain territory. Our advice? If you’re looking for high-end weatherproofing at a lower cost, consider a Cottonwoods kit (available in both ).

for $550 ($835)

What do your backyard, favorite campground, and local ski resort parking lot have in common? They’re all significantly upgraded with a portable pizza oven. Solo Stove’s has everything you need to start slanging ‘za like a pro. We’re big fans of being able to choose between using the wood burner for that classic wood-fired taste or the included propane attachment for quick, effortless heating.

Now, here are a couple of things to point out: includes a stable stand that belongs in the backyard鈥搃t’s too bulky to travel with, in our opinion. However, we’ve set up the Pi on , no problem. Also, the stove is not featherweight: it comes with a beefy cordierite pizza stone, weighs 30.5 pounds, and has a diameter of 20.5 inches. If you’ve got a truck, van, or spacious SUV, packing the Pi on a car camping trip is doable. If you’re at the helm of a hatchback, you may want to leave the Pi on the porch or reserve it for day trips.

That said, we’re continuously amazed by how delicious the pizza is鈥攁nd how much fun the process is for the whole family. A highlight from our testing experience was a pizza party in the lot of Palisades Tahoe this past spring, stoking out a crew of 15 shredders with a post-ski, make-your-own pie party. As far as apr猫s goes, that right there is hard to beat.

for $112 ($150)

BioLite’s new is exactly what we want in a portable power bank. It’s small enough to fit in a carry-on, light enough to come in handy charging camera gear on human-powered adventures (1.3 pounds), and powerful enough that it can charge your laptop鈥攖wice. The 100W power bank is also quick to charge (1.5 hours via USB-C), which comes in clutch on short layovers. Plus, it can charge up to five devices simultaneously thanks to four USB outputs (two USB-C PD, one standard USB-C, and one USB-A) and a wireless pad. If you hate running out of juice on the road鈥攁nd love saving money on Cyber Monday鈥攖he is on sale for the first time ever right now.

for $41 ($55)

When you’ve tested as many ski and snowboard boots as we have, a sad truth comes to light: most stock insoles are better off in the bin than in your boots. Of course, the best way to get a solid boot fit is to see a professional boot fitter at your local ski shop鈥攖hey’ll help customize insoles, liners, and even your boot shell to the anatomy of your foot. But that process can be time-consuming and expensive, and if you’re looking for a cheaper, quicker way to better your boot fit, an aftermarket insole is a smart play. In particular, these are much more technologically advanced, supportive, and warmer than run-of-the-mill stock insoles. They have a thermally efficient liner, shock-absorbing foam, and a deep, supportive heel cup reinforced with a carbon-fiber frame. Plus, they’re currently on sale for 25% off鈥攁 discount that extends across Superfeet’s entire line of insoles.

for $408 ($480)

Ski season is here, and there’s no better way to capture memories on the mountain, in my opinion, than with the听.听This discounted comes with the Ultra Wide Lens Mod鈥攁 snap-on lens adaptor that amplifies the GoPro’s frame of view. GoPro has a that are also on sale this Cyber Monday, but this setup is especially well-suited for filming POV skiing and snowboarding since the perspective is super wide. While the scope isn’t as all-encompassing as 360 action cameras, we find the imagery crisper and less distorted.

for $66 ($165)

If you’re looking for a lightweight hiking boot that’s heavily on sale, check out , as the women’s version is 66% off right now for Cyber Monday. A mid-cut silhouette offers hikers moderate ankle support without trail weight skyrocketing. The grippy, lugged Contragrip outsoles provide traction on and off trail, and Gore-Tex-lined uppers defend against precipitation while still letting the feet breathe on warmer days and longer hikes. These kicks are affordable and adventure-ready for both day hikes and longer backpacking missions.

for $99 ($172)

We all like to think of pickup trucks and mountain bikes as tough, durable, and ready for anything. But if you toss your beloved bike in your truck bed without a tailgate pad, scratched paint鈥攁nd worse鈥攁re real possibilities. Protect your rig(s) with Race Face’s generously cushioned, abrasion-resistant . Straps secure the pad in place, while more hook-and-loop straps and precisely positioned blocks help keep bike frames and forks from unwanted jostling鈥攏o matter how bumpy the 4×4 road is.

for $75 ($100)

Evo’s is aptly named鈥攊t’s incredibly spacious and practical. Our luggage test team just named this Evo essential our favorite gear tote of the year, namely for the bombproof build, simple yet practical pocket configuration, and overall capacity. The technical, tarp-lined tote is useful year-round, whether you’re hauling ski and snowboard boots to the hill, packing it with muddy mountain bike gear, or organizing camping equipment. Hell, you can even use it for everyday grocery shopping. It’s also not too expensive鈥攖here are similar bags out there that are three times the price鈥攁nd it’s even cheaper now, on sale for 25% off at Evo.

for $300 ($599)

Lightweight backpacking tents are a dime a dozen. However, Sea to Summit’s award-winning is in a league of its own. Its ingenious design has a novel pole configuration that provides more vertical space (which is always extremely valuable real estate). The packed tent splits into three included stuff sacks to help backpacking duos share the load. Most notably, though, the Telos can be pitched in multiple ways. You can pitch the mesh tent solo for breathability on warm nights or ditch the tent and trek with just the rainfly on ultralight missions. We especially dig how the solo rainfly setup can be tilted up into “Hangout Mode,” providing campers with a cambered, awning-like shade perfect for sunny beach hangs or drizzly lunch breaks. Plus, it’s now half-off, thanks to Sea to Summit’s Cyber Monday sale.

for $200 ($250)

Let’s start by saying there is a time and a place for Bluetooth speakers鈥攁nd that place is never on the trail. But if you’re jamming in the backyard, on a remote river float, or at a dispersed campsite with no neighbors in earshot, Everboom’s Wireless Bluetooth speaker is rad. It boasts 20 hours of battery life, and the sound quality is surprisingly solid relative to its compact construction (about the size of a large burrito). Outdoor audiophiles can even tweak EQ settings using the Ultimate Ears app. But the biggest draw here (apart from the Cyber Monday discount) is that the Everboom is ready to rock in the elements. It’s waterproof and durable, has a carabiner-accommodating loop, and, best of all, floats.

for $200 ($250)

Need a little post-adventure self-care? Put your paws on Chirp’s . You can use the multi-speed electric roller like a rolling pin, letting the knobby nodes work out kinks in your muscles. Or, leave the RPM housed in its nifty base, turn it on, and effortlessly massage everything from your calves to forearms. Our testers’ favorite use? Massaging the arches of his feet after a long day in ski boots. The RPM is now on sale for $200鈥攍ess than the price of a couple of hour-long massages in many places.

for $125 ($139)

Roll Recovery’s recovery tools have revolutionized my post-adventure routine. In particular, I can’t get enough of the mighty, muscle-massaging 鈥搃t firmly clamps around the quads or calves, rolls forward and back, and works out all the kinks. In fact, this massager is so easy to use that my poor foam roller has begun to collect cobwebs. Also of note is the tool is also on sale. I dig this massage gun because it’s compact enough for domestic or international travel. Now, Roll’s sale is tiered鈥攜ou get 10% off sitewide, no matter your shopping cart total, 20% off when you spend over $200, or 30% when you spend over $500. If you grab my two recommendations, for instance, you’ll be looking at 20% off鈥攏ot to mention fewer aches and pains in the foreseeable future.

for $120 ($160)

Sunglasses are notoriously easy to lose, break, or damage. But instead of traditional arms, sport an adjustable cord that’s securely looped into the frame itself (which is also overbuilt, durable, and dapper to boot). This innovative design solves many common gripes with expensive sunglasses: it eliminates the chances of snapping arms and drastically reduces the chances of losing them with a built-in retention strap. Not only that, but Ombraz outfitted the Classics with top-tier, polarized Zeiss lenses for optical clarity and UV protection. If you’ve always been curious about Ombraz but have never taken the leap, Cyber Monday’s a swell excuse since the Classics are $40 off.

for $79 ($105)

It’s hard to recommend just one product and not the entire brand when it comes to Icebreaker’s base layers. Why? Icebreaker is a merino expert, and it’s my favorite fabric for virtually every outdoor pursuit, from backpacking to backcountry skiing. Merino is naturally warm, breathable, and odor-resistant. Moreover, the sheep-shearing virtuosos at Icebreaker are currently throwing a 25% off sitewide sale when you bundle two or more base layers. That said, while Icebreaker’s best known for its winter-ready base layers (shop , ), the , , and more are all high-performance and well-made, too. Take a look at the sitewide sale because you can’t go wrong here.

for $420 ($600)

I love , and I’m not the only one. I direct 国产吃瓜黑料 Magazine’s annual snowboard test. Every year Capita submits this board to our test and every year it receives rave reviews from nearly all of our testers. The Navigator is a floaty directional board that’s an absolute blast in powder and a riot on manicured groomers, too. While it’s endless fun for advanced rippers looking to cruise, it’s also intermediate-friendly and easy to ride thanks to a forgiving, medium flex, a maneuverable, rockered nose, reliable camber underfoot, and lightweight core construction. If you’re looking to add a smooth operator of a powder board to your quiver for a bargain price, look no further.

for $56 ($75)

If you’re like me, you lose headlamps all the time (ironic, when you think about it) or leave them turned on all night, burning through AAA batteries in short order. Black Diamond’s saves you money two ways. First, it’s on sale for 25% off at Black Diamond. Secondly, it’s stocked with a BD 2400 lithium-ion battery that’s rechargeable via micro-USB鈥攕o you won’t need to add more AAA carcasses to your battery graveyard. Most importantly, the headlamp is lightweight, reliable, and simple to operate.

for $202 ($270)

Many skiers and snowboarders don’t replace their helmets as often as they should. Upgrade your current cranial protection policy with POC’s Obex BC Mips helmet, currently available for up to 50% off at Backcountry. I’ve had my fair share of head injuries snowboarding and am incredibly picky with helmets, but I feel confident in POC’s solid polycarbonate shell construction. I also always opt for helmets with a to reduce rotational forces in the event of a crash. Plus, the vents are adjustable, the earpads are protective and comfortable, and the BC version of this helmet also sports an NFC ID chip that you can load with your medical information.

for $204 ($370)

Goggles are unfortunately somewhat disposable: easy to scratch or lose, despite the high price tags. Waiting for a deep discount to snag a new pair is the pro move. Smith’s 4D Mag goggles are currently , and they have a uniquely curved lens that boosts your field of view on the slopes. Personally, I dig these goggles because I have a medium-sized face, and I’m not always a huge fan of XL goggles. The sports a mid-sized frame but gives you outsized peripherals thanks to that innovative lens design. And speaking of lenses, Smith’s contrast-enhancing, crystal-clear magnetic lenses go head-to-head with any optics brand’s premium offerings.

for $700 ($1,000)

There’s puffy warm, and then there’s parka warm. Arc’Teryx’s is the latter鈥攁nd it’s 30% off. This massive marshmallow of a parka is generously packed with RDS-certified, 850-fill goose down that’s warm as hell when the sun disappears. Built to withstand the rigors of frigid belays in shady river canyons, the Gore-Tex Infinium outer shell is also water-resistant, breathable, and durable. Whenever I’m going winter camping, this is the first piece I pack鈥搃t’s perfect for hanging around camp and comfortably plowing through chores. In a worst-case scenario, it’s the ultimate emergency layer.

for $75 ($150)

The best way to describe ? Imagine your coziest hooded sweatshirt and go-to tech shell met in your closet, fell hood over heels for one another, and nine months later, a lightweight lovechild popped out. A far cry from the crinkly, loud, plasticky windbreakers of yesteryear, Mountain Hardwear’s Kor AirShell is deliciously quiet. The nylon ripstop fabric is wind-resistant, breathable, durable, incredibly comfortable, and, most surprisingly, soft to the touch. While this shell isn’t the right choice when rain’s in the forecast, it’s ideal for breezy hikes and after-work trail runs, and it’s a wonderful addition to any outdoor enthusiast’s wardrobe. I’m just as happy napping in the AirShell on airplanes as I am scrambling up ridgelines in my backyard Sierra. For a limited time, ladies can score for 50% off, while gents can get the for half off right now.

for $144 ($360)

Steep and Cheap, which reliably lives up to its name, has clearance items on sale for up to 70% off right now. Somewhere deep in the thousands鈥攜es, thousands鈥攐f deals, hides a 60 percent-off from Mountain Hardwear. The hooded puffy features a 10-denier ripstop shell that’s stuffed with high-quality 800-fill, hydrophobic goose down. It provides significant warmth for weight, considering the comes in at just over a half pound. Both the men’s and are steeply discounted. My Ghost Whisperer from a few years ago is still going strong, and I’ll probably grab another to keep as backup.

for $210 ($300)

My touring partner swears by this Arc’Teryx insulator, and I totally get it (I actually “borrowed” it this week). A synthetic mid-layer that’s wind-resistant and breathable is a cheat code on the skin track, and that pretty much describes the . Packed with 60 grams of synthetic CoreLoft Compact insulation that’s warm when wet and breathable when you’re huffing and puffing, the Atom is built for big missions in the mountains. It has an adjustable, helmet-compatible hood, two hand pockets, a hidden internal chest zip, and comfy, reliable cuffs. One of her favorite aspects is simply the fabric itself: a stretchy, lightweight, soft, and moisture-resistant 20-denier nylon.

for $135 ($180)

Zip-off pants are cool. But these Oyuki insulated zip-off pants, designed in the powder-blessed holy land of Hokkaido, transcend cool with a relaxed fit, 60 grams of recycled down, and a recycled shell material. Just imagine: you’ve just skied Japow all day, and now you’re soaking in an onsen. Just before you turn into a prune, you emerge from the burbling waters, then slip into these puffy trousers. Reborn, relaxed, and unequivocally stylin’, you meander to a convenience store for some mouthwatering fried chicken, onigiri, matcha treats, and other outrageous and affordable delicacies. Ok. Maybe you’re just hanging out at the local mountain. These are still the coolest apr茅s pants you’ll see in the parking lot.

for $127 ($170)

No matter your outdoor activity of choice, having a decent, well-stocked first aid kit鈥攁nd knowing how to use it鈥攊s obligatory. My Medic’s first aid kits are all 20% off, including their comprehensive . This burly first aid kit is remarkably compact, considering it comes stocked with over 115 medical essentials, including typical must-haves like bandages and blister strips. It also includes a few survival necessities, like a space blanket and water purification tablets. And in case you need a crash course in first aid? The MyFak comes with a free online training course (although an in-person WFA or WFR isn’t a bad idea, either).

for $144 ($180)

I’m a huge fan of Rocky Talkies鈥攖hese compact communicators come in handy year-round, whether you’re climbing, skiing, rafting, or backpacking. This is the first time Rocky Talkie’s 5 Watt Radio has gone on sale. The is beefier than the ultra-compact, 2-watt (9.1 ounces to the Mountain Radio’s 6.5), but it offers up to three miles more coverage in mountainous terrain. It’s also fully waterproof (the Mountain Radio is “splash and snowproof,” according to the brand, a claim I heavily co-sign) and has better battery life. The GMRS radio can also pick up weather updates, monitor dual channels, and access repeater channels; however, with great power comes great responsibility. The 5W does require a license to use () and isn’t permitted in Canada. If that’s a dealbreaker for you, there’s no shame in sticking with the , my go-to for backcountry skiing.

Dakine Charger Mips Snow Helmet for $97 ($130)听

The Dakine Charger helmet is designed with the Mips Brain Protection System for added safety. Created by a brain surgeon, the idea behind this cranium-protecting tech is simple: to redirect rotational motion away from the head, lowering the chance of a traumatic brain injury during a fall on the slopes.

When I hiked the John Muir Trail back in 2021, it was one of my key pieces of safety gear and I even used it to text my partner and ask him to send a different piece of equipment I needed to my next stop. The inReach Mini made the wilderness feel less terrifying as a solo female hiker.

It seems like every time I write about car camping chairs, the NEMO Stargaze tops the competition. One of our resident testers called it 鈥渕ore like a mini-hammock than a chair鈥� because of its swing-style design, which allows users to recline way back for optimal celestial viewing. Two integrated cup holders make it easy to stash a beverage or a phone close at hand, and an adjustable, padded headrest keeps your neck comfy if you鈥檙e, say, scouring the sky for the Perseids. It weighs in at just under 8 pounds and easily folds into an included carry bag when you鈥檙e ready to pack up, making this portable backcountry lounger easy to bring along on different adventures, whether that鈥檚 a music festival or a remote car camping trip. And now, it鈥檚 $100 off, so this stargazer is even sweeter.

This Classic Thermal Merino Crew Top is constructed with 250-weight Merino wool fabric, which is warm enough for most winter pursuits, like resort skiing or snowshoeing in a national park.

Osprey Ariel 65L Backpacks for $240 ($320)

I鈥檓 a sucker for Osprey鈥檚 form-fitting multi-day packs and its All-Mighty Guarantee, which protects all products for a lifetime of heavy use. We rated the Ariel 55 as our favorite women鈥檚 backpacking pack in 2018, and its latest iteration is still excellent. The pack, which was designed specifically for women, has an adjustable torso slider that makes it easy to dial in the perfect fit while an injection-molded foam backpanel keeps air flowing even on sweaty ascents. The pack鈥檚 fabric is treated with a PFC-free DWR coating, and its hip pockets can each easily stash four protein bars.
