There’s a whole lotta hubbub about Black Friday in the outdoor industry. If you’re on one side of the issue—i.e., hating Black Friday and the capitalist excess it stands for—you are unlikely to get pumped about the rest of this article. But if you’re 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:Ìę11/25 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’m 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, “Duer Makes the Best Jeans. Here Are Our Favorites,” 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 “changed my life. Superlative headlines aside—I 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’s extraordinarily comfortable fleece option. At the time, I wrote: “the Tech Fleece elicited notes like ‘LUXURIOUS!!’ and even an ‘ooh la la!!!!’” 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’s 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’s 71-percent recycled material and hearty four-percent dose of elastane for a build that doesn’t 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—and it’s 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—something I’m 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’ve watched a massage therapist, chiropractor, and physical therapist all wrap up different parts of this breaking body using KT tape, and every time, I’ve walked out of their offices feeling like I had a little hug supporting my injuries. It’s 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’t 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—and likely won’t 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—the 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–it’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—and 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 aprĂšs 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—twice. 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—and love saving money on Cyber Monday—the 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—they’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—a 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 theÌę.ÌęThis discounted comes with the Ultra Wide Lens Mod—a 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—and worse—are 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—no matter how bumpy the 4×4 road is.

for $75 ($100)

Evo’s is aptly named—it’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—there are similar bags out there that are three times the price—and 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—and 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—less 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 –it 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—you 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—not 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 șÚÁÏłÔčÏÍű 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—so 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—and 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–it’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—yes, thousands—of 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 aprĂ©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—and knowing how to use it—is 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—these 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.

In the chaos of year’s end, it’s easy to forget to prioritize yourself.

Pssst! Hey! Want to get a new pair of Nike ZoomX Vaporfly Next% 2 marathon racing shoes for an $85 discount? Yes, for real! Welcome to the vortex of Black Friday 2022, which is a weeklong extravaganza where everything is on sale at significant discounts and shipping is free.

Not so long ago, Black Friday used to be a phenomenon that sent people scurrying to malls and big box retailers at 4 a.m. on the day after Thanksgiving. This year’s Black Friday sales madness will last for at least a week and retail experts expect it to be bigger than ever, partially because inflation has crimped consumer spending habits. Whether you’re actually shopping for gifts for people on your list or just looking for bargains on stuff you want for yourself, there are plenty of sweet deals to be found.

What does that mean for you as a runner? It means you can get a jump on your holiday shopping, but it also means you can point your browser to Nike.com and get a pair of those ($179.99) for yourself well before anyone starts cooking turkey. Certainly, Black Friday still means you have to hunt and pick for your size or your preferred color, but that’s what makes it exciting, right?

Shop Local, Too!

OK, let’s take a deep breath for a moment. While online sales are amazing, we’d also recommend you stop by your local running store, which is also likely offering great deals as it tries to close out inventory to make room for next year’s gear that will start arriving in January. Small Business Saturday might be as much of a marketing gimmick as Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales, but it’s a real thing for local businesses in your area.

The roughly 900 running specialty shops around the U.S. have been the lifeblood of the running industry and the sport since the original running boom of the 1970s and ‘80s, providing a sense of community and spreading the knowledge and passion to all levels of runners. Local shops are less about selling gear and more about serving up an inspirational vibe that’s tied to the local running community.

Not only does shopping locally contribute to your local economy, but in-person shopping allows you to try things on, see colors, understand styles and get a tactile feel for the shoes, apparel and accessories you’re hunting for. And, let’s face it, expert shoe-fitting advice is priceless.
