7 Backcountry outdoor gear deals that blow Amazon Prime Day out of the water
The most impressive deal is on the Marmot half-zip fleece. Normally $114, this cozy, technical layer is only $40 right now on Backcountry, with both men's and women's styles eligible for savings. That's not all, my favorite Smartwool Hiking Socks are 35% off, and Camelbak Vacuum Mugs are just $16.
That's just scratching the surface! Find details and links to these deals and more below.
This slim, cup-holder-friendly vacuum-insulated travel mug boasts 16 ounces of capacity for hot or cold beverages and features an easy-sip cap, making it a fab travel companion. Also, doesn't it look snazzy AF in that metallic 'Moss' Green?
My favorite comfortable, breathable, warm, and long-lasting Merino wool hiking socks don't go on sale all that often, so don't let this deal walk on by. Sorry, dudes, this bargain is ladies' only.
Little waistpacks are supremely handy, especially come summertime, when you've got the essentials to carry but limited pocket real estate. For less than $20, the Eastpak Spring Pack is here to rescue you from this conundrum with a wide range of eye-pleasing colorways to choose from, both on sale and full price.
If you'd prefer a pack with lots of separate compartments for greater organization than the Eastpak above, consider this fresh-looking option from Dakine. While I don't personally own the Jagger Hybrid, I do own several other Dakine packs, which have served me well over the years. So, I have no doubt this bad boy will meet your needs, too.
A comfy, stylish and warm Columbia fleece jacket for just $34? That's right, folks. This deal, available for the guys, applies to three styles, ranging from timeless to funky-fun, with tons of sizes still available... for now.
Marmot may not be as big a brand as Patagonia or Columbia, but maybe it should be, because its outerwear is just as good. This ultra-plus half-zip fleece, for instance, is packed with features, highly rated, and a whopping 65% off. Choose from two discounted styles.
Guys can also take advantage of the 65% off Marmot Half-Zip Fleece deal on Backcountry.com with just one style, but plenty of sizes still on offer. Trust me, you'll thank me when you're snug as a bug in a rug this fall in your new, wallet-friendly fleece. (You're welcome).

Here are some editor-favorite travel brands that are also offering deals directly to shoppers. How We Chose The Best Prime Luggage Deals We relied on our extensive experience writing about travel topics and testing and evaluating many types of luggage—along with our deal-hunting expertise—to pinpoint the best luggage sales. Forbes Vetted senior travel editor Astrid Taran tapped into her own expertise as a globetrotter when assembling this list of luggage deals. She prioritized reputable luggage brands that she's used firsthand and approved. Many of the luggage brands and models featured on this list have been thoroughly researched or tested by a member of our editorial team. All of the suitcases on this list were run through a price checker to verify that you're actually getting a deal—not just a markdown on an artificially inflated price. What Time Of Year Does Luggage Go On Sale? Some of the best times of year to take advantage of luggage sales are late summer and early fall, as they coincide with the end of the summer travel season. However, there are also several sales events that are great times to purchase luggage, specifically Amazon Prime Day, Black Friday and Cyber Monday. What Day Is Amazon Prime Day In 2025? Amazon Prime Day 2025 started at 12:01 a.m. PDT July 8 and runs through 11:59 p.m. PDT on July 11. While there's still plenty of time to shop, we anticipate some of the best deals will sell out early. Is Hard Or Soft Luggage Better? Softside bags are great because they flex and compress, making them a suitable option for the overhead bin or the storage space on a bus, though the material wears over time and might rip. Hardside luggage, on the other hand, protects fragile contents that could break or become damaged in transit, but the material tends to scratch or scuff easily and it offers less give for overpackers.

I'm a sleep tech tester — 5 Prime Day deals from $9 I'd snap up if I was sharing a dorm this semester
Shared dorms can be noisy, and you and your dorm buddies may not always have the same night light preferences or sleep schedules. So, heading back to school with a toolbox of effective sleep tech is key to getting quality rest between lectures, social events and finals. Top of your cart should be an affordable but reliably supportive mattress for college students. Then you can think about gadgets that will help you block out ambient light and noise to get the best possible sleep this year. It's the final day of Amazon Prime Day sleep deals and I've been shopping to bring you the last remaining offers on such gadgets. My team of sleep experts and I have tested them ourselves and can assure you they are worthy investments. If I was heading back to college this summer with a spare $10 to $50, here's what I'd buy... 1. Loop Quiet 2 Ear Plugs: was $27.95 now $16.95 at AmazonThere's no doubt you'll have at least one night this semester where you'll need to block out rowdy roomies to get to sleep. Our sleep editor Lauren used these earplugs when sleeping next door to a nightclub and found they were effective at masking loud music and revelers. The Loop Quiet 2 Ear Plugs are 39% off for Prime members now, cutting the cost to $16.95 — we think that's a fantastic deal considering they are super comfortable and reusable. User score: ★★★★ (based on 12,520+ reviews) 2. Musicozy Sleep Headphones: was $25.99 now $15.19 at AmazonThe Musicozy sleep headband is a two-in-one sleep gadget combining sleep headphones with a sleep mask to block out both light and noise. In short, it's a dorm-sharers dream. Our tester Ruth says the Musicozy's light masking is "exceptional" and surround sound is "immersive". It's still 42% off for the final day of Prime deals, so if you buy now you can get it for just $15.19 (was $25.99) — cha-ching! User score: ★★★★ (based on 23,300+ reviews) 3. COMLIFE Portable Handheld Misting Fan: was $19.99 now $9.49 at AmazonLet's be honest, sharing a dorm room can get stuffy and sometimes downright sweaty, so having a cooling sleep companion to hand is a wise move. This simple fan comes complete with a small water tank so you can mist yourself before bed to reach the best temperature for sleeping well. It's half price today at a bargain $9.49 (was $19.99) — now is the time to order to get it before the next heatwave. User score: ★★★★½ (based on 6,720+ reviews) 4. Bob and Brad eye massager: was $74.97 now $49.98 at AmazonThe Bob and Brad EyeOasis 2 Eye Massager is a digital eye mask that combines heat, pressure and acupressure to relieve stress and strained eyes. It does this while blocking out light so you drift off into a more restful sleep. Essentially it delivers dreamy eye relief after you've been staring at a laptop all day, powering through assignments. This is your last chance to bag 33% off this gadget, with the price at $49.98 (down from $74.97). It's more of a splurge than other sleep masks, but your mid-finals tired eyes will thank you for it. User score: ★★★★½ (based on 1,830+ reviews) 5. MyHalos sleep mask: was $12.99 now $10.39 at AmazonIf you prefer a reliable light-blocking sleep mask without the bells and whistles of the Musicozy headband or Bob and Brad's eye massager, this memory foam mask is a great choice. It's made with ultra-soft, breathable fabric and puts zero pressure on your eyes, so you can bag a comfortable night's sleep even if your dorm mate likes a night light. There's 20% off for the final day of Amazon Prime deals, so if you act fast you can grab it for under $11 — at that price it's a no-brainer. User score: ★★★★½ (based on 12,410+ reviews)
