Solo Stove Bonfire 2.0: 25% Off
Solo Stove has Black Friday deals going all month long on everything from flagship products — like this popular Bonfire 2.0 — to accessories like stands and heat deflectors. So, if you don’t already have one of these smokeless bonfires for your back porch, now’s the time. And if you’re already living that Solo life, this is a perfect moment to snag that accessory you’ve had your eye on. And keep popping back over to Solo Stove as the month rolls on because the brand is continuing to drop sales through November.
inov8 TrailFly G270 V2: 20% Off
I’ve spent the last few years raving about inov8’s shoes to anyone who will listen. That goes doubly for the TrailFly G270, which is in my hall of fame due to its unparalleled longevity. I got a pair of these up close to a thousand trail miles of backpacking and running, which is almost twice as much as the next shoe on my list. I recommend them for peeps who like a zero-drop trail runner with a wide toebox, but don’t like how sloppy Altra Lone Peaks can feel.
Like many brands, inov8 is rolling out Black Friday deals all month, so if you want something for running in the mud, or cross training at the gym, or pounding the pavement, inov8 has you covered. Tell them I sent you.
Gerber Custom Shop: 15% Off With Code CUSTOM15
Gerber has never offered a deal at its custom shop. Until now. But you’d better get on it fast, because the deal ends today (11/10/23).
Start with one of 10 base models, and then get sassy about it with patterns, engravings, materials, and more. Then use the CUSTOM15 at checkout and snag your 15% discount. It doesn’t get much easier than that.
Xero Shoes Mesa Trail II Born to Run 2 Editions: 20% Off
Most folks credit Christopher McDougall’s Born to Run with kicking the minimalist running movement from fringe to mainstream. So a partnership between minimalist shoe juggernaut Xero Shoes and McDougall was all but inevitable. I put a lot of miles on the original incarnation of the Mesa Trails, and found them fleet, responsive, and surprisingly durable for their weight. This Born to Run-themed version of the Mesa IIs looks even better.
Xero Shoes’ anniversary sale, which runs through Nov. 28, includes a host of deals across multiple shoe lines. But if you purchase the Xero Shoes Mesa Trail II Born to Run 2 Editions, you also get a few bucks off Born to Run 2 (which serves as more of a minimalist running training guide than its predecessor).
Backcountry — One Full-Priced Item: 20% Off
Right now at Backcountry, members can get 20% one full-priced item. With sales like that, it’s best to pick an expensive piece of gear that’s hard to find on sale elsewhere, like Hyperlight Mountain Gear’s popular UltaMid 2 shelter. The pyramid-style shelter’s design and Dyneema Composite Fabric construction sheds wind, holds up to snow loading better than most other ultralight shelter designs, and pitches quickly with a minimum of four stakes. What more could you ask for?

EcoFlow DELTA Pro Portable Power Station: 30% Off
There’s lots to love about the EcoFlow DELTA Pro portable power station, even once you get past the steep discount on display here. It’s beefy enough to power your home in a pinch, but portable enough to schlep wherever (almost) you need to go. It charges all the things you’d expect and need it to, and — my favorite part — you can juice it up at an e-vehicle charging station if you get tired of waiting on the sun to do it for you.
Clark’s Desert Trek GTX Chukka: 38% Off
Fall is chukka season, and you can’t miss with this handsome pair of Clark’s Desert Trek GTX Chukkas. Don’t let the name fool you — these will look plenty sharp paired with a pair of dark jeans and a flannel shirt, especially if the mercury hasn’t dropped too low. Simple and timeless styling pairs well with real leather — always has. And there’s a Vibram outsole so you won’t go ass over teakettle as you traverse the parking lot for après.
These won’t last long at Huckberry, but as of this writing, there are plenty of sizes to choose from.
Nike Flash Sale: Up to 20% Off (With Code FLASH)
You have to be a member over at nike.com to take advantage of the brand’s current flash sale. But signing up is free, and the flash sale ends today (Nov. 3), so hop to it!
The sale covers a wide range of apparel and footwear, from the Nike Air VaporMax 2023 Flyknit kicks shown above to children’s shoes to a host of jog-friendly fleeces and hoodies. If you can’t find something in this sale to level up your road-running game, you aren’t trying hard enough.
Atomic Hawx Ultra XTD 120 CT GW Alpine Touring Ski Boots: 50% Off
REI Co-op’s cold weather sale is still going strong, with up to 50% off the apparel and gear you need to keep you toasty while shredding the white stuff. This week’s selection is the Atomic Hawx Ultra XTD 120 CT GW Alpine Touring Ski Boot. The normally $750 boot is on sale for $375 in sizes from 26.5 to 29.5 Mondo.
GearJunkie testers had good things to say about the 130 model, highlighting its can-do, anywhere-on-the-mountain attitude and cozy moldability. If you need a one-boot-quiver, you could do worse than this, especially at half off.
Rossignol Evo OT 65 Positrack Cross-Country Skis With TURNAMIC Bindings: 50% Off
The sport of classic (in-line) cross-country skiing doesn’t get a lot of love because it’s slower than skate-skiing and not as exciting as downhill. But if there’s a more meditative way to move through the snow, I don’t know it. For that reason alone, the sport is worth a try. So you may as well save big on the major piece of gear you need to get started.
The shape, length, and material of the Rossignol Evo OT 65 Positracks support maneuverability in off-trail conditions but still should provide plenty of inline glide on groomers. They are solid, do-it-all skis and come with bindings already mounted. And the 50% off you get at REI Co-op if you move swiftly makes them even more attractive.
