The long weekend surrounding Black Friday has become synonymous with holiday shopping, but sift through online sales and you\u2019ll soon realize that most deals aren\u2019t much of a bargain at all. I\u2019ve honed in on camping and hiking gear that\u2019s functional in the field and looked for opportunities to save you a few bucks on stuff I know works well. Whether you\u2019re looking for a backpack for your first solo hike, want to give trekking poles a try, or need a new car camping tent for the family, here are ten discounted items worth checking out.<\/p>\n
Awarded the best backpack for hiking in the heat<\/a>, the Kalmia 50<\/a> is a women\u2019s-specific pack (the Katmai 55<\/a> is the men\u2019s version) that boasts airy suspension and form-fitting comfort. Six zippered compartments keep your stuff organized, and pivoting shoulders straps and padded extendable tongues on the waist buckle add to the dialed-in fit. The pack weighs in at under five pounds, and the rugged nylon outer can take plenty of trail abuse. Use code THANKS for 25 percent off through November 29.<\/p>\n Buy Now<\/a><\/p>\n Named ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø<\/em>\u2019s best car camping tent of 2021<\/a>, the Torreya<\/a> is $150 off during Black Friday with the sitewide code HOLIDAY. This four-person dome tent is a worthy storm shelter when the wind and rain hit, thanks to thick aluminum poles and a sturdy design. It comfortably sleeps four, has a handful of internal pockets, a seam-taped full-coverage fly, plenty of ventilation, and two extra poles transform the vestibule door into an awning. It\u2019s not as tall as most car camping tents (if you\u2019re over six feet, you\u2019ll have to duck to get changed).<\/p>\n Buy Now<\/a><\/p>\n For hiking or camping in milder temperatures, the Oros Delta Tight utilizes some cool tech to keep you warm without being bulky. Solarcore is the brand\u2019s lightweight insulation developed by combining NASA\u2019s aerogel<\/a> with flexible foam to add thin padding in core areas. In the Delta Tight, that\u2019s along the top of the thighs, where the insulation retains heat and blocks out wind. The high-waisted band doesn\u2019t roll down, and the side pocket is a nice touch. They\u2019re just the right amount of thickness for a brisk fall morning, with enough stretch to allow for plenty of movement. At 20 percent off, these pants are an investment worth considering for someone who runs cold.<\/p>\n Buy Now<\/a><\/p>\n The Original Puffy blanket<\/a> is made for outdoor use. Warm and weather-resistant, both the ripstop nylon shell and the synthetic insulation are made from 100 percent post-consumer recycled materials, while a DWR-finish adds water and stain resistance. Get cozy around the fire after a day of hiking and haul it into your tent for an added layer of warmth on chilly nights. It\u2019s machine washable and stuffs into its own sack for easy packing. There are a variety of prints and colors to choose from, and if you have kids, the two-person blanket<\/a> ($149) is the way to go.<\/p>\n Buy Now<\/a><\/p>\n Holiday sales are a good time to stock up on socks, and Swiftwick\u2019s medium-weight hiker<\/a> is one of my favorites. The Pursuit socks are soft and comfortable, with ample arch support, a toe box that lays flat to prevent rubbing, and a snug heel that doesn\u2019t slip around inside footwear. The six-inch cuff height sits just above the collar on most hiking boots, and doesn\u2019t look too long when paired with low-cut shoes either. Olefin fiber is added to merino wool, giving a boost of durability and aiding in moisture control. In my experience, these socks hold their shape and stand up to countless trail miles.<\/p>\n Buy Now<\/a><\/p>\n Upgrading your insoles is one of the easiest ways to add comfort to your hiking boots, and a great pair can be a total game changer. Fulton insoles<\/a> are about as close to custom orthotics as you can get without the hefty price tag. Three layers \u2014 vegan cactus leather, natural latex foam, and cork \u2014 sandwich together to add cushion and support to long days on the trail. The magic ingredient is the sustainably-sourced cork base, which naturally molds to your unique arch over time (about 10 hours). Cork is also shock-absorbing, repels moisture, and staves off odor-causing bacteria. Buy one, get one half-off with code FULTONBOGO through November 30th.<\/p>\n Buy Now<\/a><\/p>\n The Woolies<\/a> are my go-to baselayer set when I need to level up my warmth but don\u2019t want to feel restricted. The long sleeve crew ($89; <\/span>men\u2019s<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>women\u2019s<\/span><\/a>) and bottoms ($98; <\/span>men\u2019s<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>women\u2019s<\/span><\/a>) <\/span>are 18.5-micron merino wool that\u2019s lightweight and comfortable next-to-skin. The nylon core and bit of elastane add stretch for a full range of motion. For chilly nights camping or hiking in shoulder season weather, I toss this set on underneath everything else and it helps regulate my temperature without causing me to overheat. After multiple washes of my Woolies top and bottom, there\u2019s no pilling or color fading yet. Use the code GIFTADVENTURE to receive the 15 percent discount.<\/p>\n Buy Now<\/a><\/p>\n The AlpenGlow Rechargeable Lantern<\/a> is one of my favorite things to take on family camping trips<\/a>. It\u2019s useful for tasks around the site like cooking and setting up in the dark, and it can hang inside your tent for reading at night. The fun color modes add a cool vibe to any hangout, too. Shaking it activates warm flickering candlelight, color cycling, and firework bursts. It gives off 500 lumens and lasts for about five hours on full brightness. The biggest bonus is that it doubles as a power bank to charge your phone and other small devices. Biolite\u2019s 25 percent off Holiday Sale applies to everything sitewide \u2014 no exceptions.<\/p>\n Buy Now<\/a><\/p>\n The versatile Distance FLZs<\/a> are a solid choice for trekking poles because they combine what\u2019s great about quick-deploying foldable poles with some added adjustability. The aluminum poles lock in place with a click and let you customize the length to your personal preference. When not needed, the FLZs break down into three sections for easy stowing in your backpack. They provide added traction and support without getting in the way, and the foam grips are breathable and nice to hold, with an extension that aids on sleep climbs. You can change out the rubber tips for carbide ones and add snow baskets ($10) for winter hiking.<\/p>\n Buy Now<\/a><\/p>\nMarmot Torreya 4-Person Tent ($349; 30 Percent Off)<\/h2>\n
