Merrell Woman’s Moab 3 Mid Waterproof for $105 ($150)

This grippy, waterproof hiking boot has been on my personal favorites list since it came out in 2022. With Vibram TC5 soles and 5mm lugs, it’ll keep you grounded in sloppy, loose conditions, while its protective rubber toe cap helps shield your feet in rocky, rooty terrain. Now through November 28th, the brand is slashing prices on all waterproof styles by 30%—it’s also a good time to grab your kid a new pair of winter hiking boots.

Helly Hansen Women’s Odin Infinity Insulated Jacket for $400 ($800)

The Odin Infinity Insulated Jacket is one of our all-time ski hill favorites, earning a coveted spot on our 2022 Gear of the Year round-up. Apart from being wonderfully warm and water-repellant, our testers noted that its 50- and 70-denier fabric held strong when carrying skis and hitching snowmobiles. Unlike many insulated shells, which need a durable water-repellent (DWR) coating to shed precipitation, the Odin Infinity is sewn with polypropylene, which won’t wear down or lose waterproofing in the wash. As a bargain-hunter bonus, you can find last season’s bestsellers at 50% off through November 24.

Smith 4D Mag Goggles for $204 ($340)

Smith, one of the most coveted brands in ski goggles, is 40% off site-wide right now. Our pick? Its 4D Mag Goggles, which have interchangeable magnetic lenses. One of our backcountry ski gear testers swears by these for his descents and loves the extra-generous field of view, thanks to the unique, curved lens design. If you’re searching for something more affordable, you can also score Smith’s dependable Squad Goggles for $90 right now.

Rumpl Sherpa Puffy 2-Person Blanket for $177 ($295)

We’re huge fans of Rumpl’s uber-colorful Sherpa Puffy, which has plush, 100% recycled high-pile fleece on one side and a water-resistant shell fabric on the other. The two-person version is built for snuggly evenings around the campfire or frigid nights in your van, with a whopping 84 x 80 inches of cozy blanket space. For reference, that’s about the size of a full comforter. If you’re looking to kit-out your car camping setup, the company’s squishy Camp Pillow and cuddle-worthy Original Puffy Blanket are also 25% off.

Stio Women’s Credential Jacket for $467 ($549)

Stio is one of those small, Jackson Hole brands that’s thoroughly impressed me at every turn, and you can score huge discounts on some of their top apparel right now. This includes the all-new Credential Jackets, which shine as ultra-durable, waterproof hardshell layers on the slopes. The highly breathable Fernos Insulated Jacket, which won Editor’s Choice in our 2025 Gear Guide, will also be 20% off for one day only on 11/29.

ISLE Surf + SUP Pioneer Pro for $715 ($895)

Sometimes, making the most of the best holiday sales means buying items in the winter that you may not use until warmer months, like with this major stand-up paddleboard sale from ISLE. Save $180 on the ultra-durable Pioneer Pro stand-up paddleboard, which we dubbed the Best Inflatable Bay Tourer earlier this year. Our testers loved its rigidity and stability, which are improved by the Pro’s added carbon fiber. Its full-coverage deck pad was also great for getting in a little SUP yoga time. Kids can join in on the water fun–the company’s much shorter Grom 2.0 is $238 off through December 3.

Black Diamond Storm 450 Headlamp for $42 ($60)

Take 30% off this ultra-bright, 450-lumen headlamp from Black Diamond through December 2. This is one of the brand’s most waterproof, feature-heavy lights, and it can keep shining for up to 175 hours on its lowest setting. The Storm 450 is also easy to power for those gnarly dawn patrol wake-up calls—simply pop in three AAA batteries or recharge the brand’s compatible lithium-ion battery (sold separately).

Brooks Spark Tight for $74 ($98)

From now until December 4, shoppers can score 25% off full-price apparel at Brooks, including the Spark Tight. This cold-weather cardio favorite has an adjustable internal drawcord and an inner thigh panel that minimizes chafing. And yes, it comes with pockets. Three, to be precise. Peeping a gift for your marathon-obsessed bestie? The brand’s super-supportive sports bras are also a sizable 35% off.

Camping World Venture Forward Deluxe Padded Quad Chair for $45 ($60)

Camping World’s pre-Black Friday sale is a great find if you’re planning a big-ticket purchase or have a handful of outdoor enthusiasts to check off your list. If it were our money, we’d jump on the Venture Forward Quad Chair, a plush, sturdy throne with an included cup holder for your favorite brew. Gifts for more active outdoors people are heavily discounted, too–this Framed Alaska fat tire bike is now 47% off. Use code FRIDAY15 to get 15% off orders of $199 or more, now through December 2.

Helly Hansen Women’s Powderqueen Bib Pant for $150 ($300)

We’ve written about the insulated Powderqueen Bib Pant (namely for its ability to make peeing easier while wearing it), but there are loads of other reasons to get stoked that these snow bibs are 50% off. It’s designed with lightweight down insulation paired with side ventilation zippers to keep you toasty when you need it and adequately vented when you don’t. Plus, its Recco Advanced Rescue system and AVY beacon clip help keep you safer if you venture into the side country.

Sea to Summit Ether Light XT Insulated Pad for $113 ($189)

I’m a massive fan of Sea to Summit’s Ether Light Series, which provides quilted, inflatable backcountry comfort with an excellent warmth-to-weight ratio. The Ether Light XT earned a spot on our top sleeping pads in 2019 for its solid 16.6-ounce weight 3.2 R-value. At 4 inches thick, this piece can take a hot minute to blow up, but the company includes an inflation-style stuff sack so that you can spare your lungs on high-altitude pursuits. Hungry for even more savings? Sea to Summit is also taking a hefty 40% off of synthetic sleeping bags and water sports throughout this sale.

BlueSeventy Sprint Wetsuit for $143 ($285)

Well-regarded triathlon brand BlueSeventy is offering 50% off all Sprint Wetsuits for its pre-Black Friday sale. Often lauded as one of the most comfortable entry-level wetsuits on the market, the Sprint is made with smooth, Yamamoto neoprene throughout, with stretchy, oversized arm gussets below the shoulders to attack big strokes with gusto. A 4mm core also increases the wearer’s buoyancy for that notorious open water swim.
