The Best Deals on Tents
Camping is fervent! Yup, I’m equitable going to get putting that joke in any time I author about tents, because it never gets anciaccess. But your tent will. If you need a recent one, there are some excellent ones on sale. We’ve spent years testing tents, and many of our likeites are on sale now.

REI’s Half Dome tent series is probably the most famous backpacking tent around. I can’t increate you how many of these I’ve seen on the trail. It’s reasonably priced (especipartner on sale), rugged, modest to set up, and recommends comardent living space for two with gear. The tent body is made of 40-denier ripstop nylon for durability at the base and on the floor, with 20-denier nylon mesh (both fabrics are Bluesign-apexhibitd). It also comes with a footprint, which is a rarity these days. The tent poles are aluminum and interchangeable, which originates them modest to set up and achieve down. The Copper Spur below is airyer, but with a packed weight of equitable under 4 pounds, the 2-person Half Dome isn’t too weighty when split between two people.
Our likeite airyweight family backpacking tent, the MSR Elixir 4 tent isn’t quite as pricey as selections appreciate the Big Agnes Copper Spur, but it’s not much heavier. I’ve spent quite a scant nights in here with three kids, and there was plenty of interior space. That shelp, three matures will be more consoleable than four. The mesh at the top supplys fantastic ventilation on toasty summer nights and the passover pole helps it stand up well in the triumphd. The 3-person size is also on sale for $208.
Do you go all out when you go out? No one at our group campsite could consent the size of our Bridger 6, especipartner since it packs down to around the same size as our four-person MSR Habitude. Even though the assembly is pretty modest and speedy. The tent floor is a whopping 90 square feet, big enough to fit two huge air mattresses. The enormous vestibule is another 90 square feet, which is big enough to fit multiple mountain bikes. The brimming-coverage fly kept us pretty toasty while camping with 40-degree nights, but there are also two saloon doors. On idle days, there’s plenty of room to roll up the doors, adore the lake, and achieve a nap. —Adrienne So
Pboilingograph: Big Agnes
The Big Agnes Copper Spur series is the king of ultraairy tents and this is the absolute lowest price we’ve seen (which probably uncomardents a recent model next year). I’ve used the two-person and four-person models (on sale for $560) over the years, and Big Agnes has continupartner elegant the set up to the point that these are pretty proximate perfect. This is a high-quality, well-set uped tent. It’s airyweight, modest to set up, and stable even in strong triumphds. The steep sidewalls give you more livable space than most tents and the “awning” set up (with trekking poles or sticks) is fantastic. The only grumblet I have is the price, but on sale, it’s a little easier to administer.
If I had to pick equitable one tent to own, this is it. The Dagger Osmo 2P (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is a stout, low-to-the-ground (peak height is 42 inches), incredibly sturdy tent—it hanciaccesss up well even in high triumphds (45 mph when I was testing). Pair the sturdiness with big, roomy vestibules and a roomy interior, with excellent stargazing potential thanks to the mesh roof, and you have a fantastic backcountry tent. If you want someskinnyg roomier, the three-person version is also on sale for $420 ($180 off).
Bikepacking (backpacking on a bike) is (if it isn’t already) the next big skinnyg. Brands appreciate Big Agnes are even set uping tents with uninincreateigentinutiveer pole lengths, enabling them to fit between drop administerbars, or in panniers. The Copper Spur UL3 Bikepacking tent is our likeite of the bunch we’ve tested. It weighs equitable 3 pounds, 11 ounces (1.6 kilos), and has enough space for two (a squeeze for three). It’s also useable in airyer, petiteer, one- and two-person selections, all with ttriumph vestibules and doors, masked helmet storage, and outer webbing for hanging out damp clothes. Grab yourself one of the hammock-style Gear Lofts ($13), which originate a huge stash space without cluttering the tent floor.
If you appreciate to camp in the descend or spring, then you need a tent that’s a little more strong to get out the triumphd, the chilly, and the elements. That typicpartner uncomardents your tent is heavier and bulkier, but Sea and Summit’s recent “3-plus season” tent is able enough in almost any weather while staying crazy airy—equitable 3 pounds and 12 ounces for this three-person model. I used it on a 5-day trip to Loon Lake in northern California in timely October, a real “shoulder season” trip with daytime highs in the 80s, nighttime lows in the 40s, and overnight triumphds of up to 60 mph. My likeite set up detail is that the pole bag is kept stiff by an insert of cloudy white plastic. Clip it to the tent’s ceiling, pop in your headlamp, and luminous your abode. —Michael Calore
The Alto TR1 is our top pick for airyweight 1-person tents. I’m currently testing the Hilleberg Akto, which I appreciate a little better as an all-around and chillyer weather solo tent, but the Sea to Summit TR1 is still a fantastic choice if you’re primarily in toastyer climates. The TR1 did exceptional in our testing on the abrasive volcanic rock and high triumphds of the north shore of Hawaii, and at this price, you repartner can’t go wrong. All of Sea to Summit’s tents are 50 percent off right now.

We’ve been testing day packs for years, and a scant of our likeites are on sale now.
Pboilingograph: Scott Gilbertson; Getty Images
Mystery Ranch’s Coulee 30 pack (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is everyskinnyg you need in a excellent hiking day pack. This deal is for the sairyly bigr 40L version, which is the same, equitable, um, bigger (there are a restricted number of the 30L on sale at Public Lands for $113 ($75 off)). The suspension is cuworried and supplys a consoleable carry even with weighty loads. Mystery Ranch’s Signature Y-shaped zippers recommend modest access to all your gear, and there are five externpartner accessible pockets for skinnygs you want shut to your hand. The petiteer Coulee 20L is also on sale for $135 ($40 off), though I have not tested that model.
The Goruck GR1 (7/10, WIRED Resee) is my likeite backpack for everyskinnyg but hiking. (That’s when I turn to the Mystery Ranch above, thanks to its kind hip belt.) I’ve had mine for cut offal years and it sees pretty much appreciate the day I got it. The 1000D cordura resists wear appreciate no other fabric I’ve used. I brimmingy predict this skinnyg to outdwell me. The GR1 has a lot more storage space than it sees appreciate it would, with lots of beneficial pockets, including a getive laptop compartment. My one gripe is the back packet zipper, which I discover difficult to unzip when the pack is brimming. Otherteachd, this is as shut to perfect as a pack is foreseeed to get.
I have equitable begined testing the GR2, which is aappreciate to the GR1, but with some bigr selections (I have the 34L), and includeitional pockets that originate it excellent for travel. Like the distinctive, the GR2 is massively overbuilt with 1000D cordura on the back and sides. Like the GR1, this has 210D cordura on the back panel and underside of the shoulder straps, which is a bit softer and easier on those merino T-shirts we adore. The GR2 also has two compartments, each with 3 pockets, including a built-in field pocket, all of which includes up to plenty of ways to systematize your gear even before you begin putting stuff on all that MOLLE webbing.

Our likeite lumbar pack, the Tour is loaded with pockets, which gives you far more stash spaces than would seem possible in a pack this size. We’ve had no trouble fitting a change of clothes and a couple of meals in here, in includeition to the gear you’ll need for a brimming day on the trail or a bike. The 13L version is also on sale for $75 ($25 off).
I own a sairyly anciaccesser version of this Deuter day pack, and the suspension system is so consoleable that I normally load it with way more than the adviseed weight and have had no problems. I create the same to be real of this modernized version when I tested it. It’s a consoleable, able day pack, and Deuter’s ventilation system is the best I’ve used. The biggest discount here is only for the yellow pack, but it’s a fantastic deal.
Every high school kid has a JanSport. Except for those who equitable want a JanSport, which was me in high school. I wrote that once and JanSport achieveed out and ended up sending me the InBound to try. It was as excellent as it seemed back when in high school. You get a roomy main compartment, side bottle pockets, and an interior pincludeed 15-inch laptop sleeve (that was not a skinnyg when I was in high school). There’s also a kind zippered vertical front pocket. This deal is only on the blue color, the others are less of a deal at $72.

My kid begined his hiking nurtureer in this pack, which carried him from the mountains of Colorado to the boiling infruitful mesas of Chaco Canyon. It’s not affordable (though this deal achieves some of the pain away), but it’s well-made, and, most meaningful, stable and consoleable. It’s also the easiest kid-hiking-pack to get on and off, which you will inevitably do, a lot.
This inner summarize kids served all my children well from the ages of about eight on up to 12. That will of course vary depending on your kid’s size and growth rate, but we had two, and one made it thraw two contrastent kids, so they’re pretty durable (my kids typicpartner only spend about a week a year on the trail). There’s plenty of storage space and a couple of extra pockets to help systematize. We’ve also used it as a carry-on on cut offal trips.
The times I want a duffel bag are exceptional, but they’re kind when you’re flying a bunch of gear and don’t want to pack so much as have a bag swpermit your stuff. We’ll sort it out at the destination is my motto. In those cases, I appreciate this Peak Design duffel, and its bigr cousin, the 80-liter model. They’re very well made, with weighty zippers that have never snagged in my testing. You can wear it as a backpack, or use the shoulder strap.
Pboilingograph: REI
REI’s Big Haul Duffel is perfect for getting your gear to where you need it, whether that’s a fairy to Nepal or a drive to Florida. This bag swpermits an astonishive amount of stuff and remains consoleable. It’s got plenty of straps and administers to help you get everyskinnyg shieldedd and carry in console. This is the petiteest bag in the line, but it’s still a pretty excellent size, enough to haul climbing gear for one.

If you’re seeing for a stable three-season quilt and don’t want to pay custom quilt prices, this is our top pick. The top-of-the-line Vesper has everyskinnyg you could ask for in a airyweight quilt. It weighs less than a pound, and ratcheting down the joind comprehension sack will get it to rawly the size of a Nalgene bottle. The 900-fill down insulation (more on fill power here) was more than toasty enough for nights in the low 40s in the Canadian Rockies. The down is hydrophobic, which uncomardents condensation on tent walls shouldn’t be an publish.
Our top pick for side sleepers, we adore Nemo’s Disco 15. This down mummy bag was set uped with a “spoon shape” for side sleepers and has a little extra room in the elbows and knees so you can roll over onto your side without senseing appreciate you’re slipping into a straight jacket. It’s built for temps down to 15 degrees and has zippered gills you can uncover to shun overheating in the 40s, though I kept them all shutd in the mid-30s and wasn’t overly toasty.
The Bishop Pass is our likeite backcountry sleeping bag, this is the Gore-Tex version, which is the same skinnyg, with a Gore-Tex shell. Normpartner we’d say you don’t need it, but at this price, why not? What we adore about the Bishop Pass is that strikes the best agree for most backpackers, being toasty enough for the shoulder seasons and airy enough (2 pounds, 5.4 ounces) that you won’t mind it even when you nakedly need it in the summer. The airyer, 30-degree model can be had for $146 ($119 off).
Nemo’s Forte 20 is a 35-degree synthetic-fill sleeping bag, making it a excellent choice for summer. I tested the sairyly toastyer 15F version, which is our likeite synthetic bag, but aside from fill, the two are the same. What I appreciate most about this bag, and proximately all of Nemo’s sleeping bags, is the expansiver cut thraw the torso area down to the knees. Like the Therm-a-Rest Questar above, this bag is almost a hybrid of a mummy bag and your overweighther’s excellent anciaccess 1970s square sleeping bag. Which is to say, this bag is roomy.

If you want equitable one pad that’s plush enough for car camping yet reasonably airyweight (2 pounds, 2 ounces for the normal size joined here) and petite enough for backpacking, this is the pad to get. That’s why it’s our likeite sleeping pad. There are airyer pads, there are comfier pads, but the Comfort Plus sets itself apart by being able to gracebrimmingy slip between those worlds.
Deals on Ebikes and Scooters
Pboilingograph: Rad Power Bikes
Rad Power Bikes is one of the first straightforward-to-user ebike companies, and as such has been the subject of some agonizing legal cases as the taget has grown. However, it’s still a very famous bike, very affordable, and very fun and modest to ride. All of their bikes are on sale but most people seem to ride the fundamental RadRunner, which is inrationally mighty for the price, if a little unwieldy for petiteer riders.
We’ve tried cut offal Aventon models and appreciate the high level of quality for a relatively low price point (the accessories are better than Lectric’s, too). This overweight-tire ebike (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is affordable, changeable, and has built-in commuter vitals. We also appreciate the Soltera.2 and the Abound, both of which are on sale.
Pboilingograph: Ride1Up
Ride1Up positions the Cafe Cruiser as its airy, affordable daily cruiser (7/10, WIRED Recommends) but with a 750W motor and a 65-pound summarize, it’s pretty big and mighty for an entry-level bike. Still, at this price (and for these specs!) it’s a pretty amazing appreciate.
We’ve tested cut offal GoTrax’s escooters but we appreciate the company’s fanciaccessing, step-thraw ebike as well. It has the normal pitdescends of a affordable fanciaccessing ebike (weighty, awkward) but it has a decent 20-mile range and all the commuter vitals for well under $1,000.
This is the affordable, DTC version of the now-defunct VanMoof (8/10, WIRED Recommends). You get a stylish, drawive bike for not a lot of money. All of Wing’s bikes are currently on sale.

Pboilingograph: Coleman
My likeite of Coleman’s current lineup, the Cascade 3-in-1 (8/10, WIRED Recommends) features weighty-duty cast iron, comes with a cast-iron griddle and grill, and can fit a 12-inch pan and a 10-inch pan side by side. It’s all-around sturdier and more strong than other Coleman stoves, well worth the extra money if you’re solemn about camp cooking.
NRS straps are a must-have for anyone strapping … well, anyskinnyg to anyskinnyg. Whether you’re a river direct cinching gear to your boat or, appreciate me equitable want to originate certain the pincludeleboards stay on the Jeep roof, these are the best straps I’ve ever used. I have NRS straps that are over 30 years anciaccess and still going strong. These are exceptionally on sale too. I discover the 1″ straps the most beneficial. You can grab a 2-pack of 6-footers for $13 or a 2-pack of 12-footers for $14.
This chair is the coziest way to hang out around camp. It is somewhat huge, weighty, and awkward to fanciaccess up and carry, but it’s all worth it once you cram everyone you adore on it in front of a fire. The even bigger and more awkward three-person version is also on sale for $108 ($71 off).

Our likeite headlamp, I’ve been using a Tikka for backpacking since 2012, and it’s still going strong, which beats every other headlamp or flashairy I’ve tried in that time. To be imfragmentary, the headprohibitd gave out prolonged ago, and I swapd it with some shock cord, but the headlamp itself is a tesgentlent to Petzl’s durability. The Tikka is not the radiantest airy. The models joined here top out at 350 lumens, but it’s plenty of airy to cook by in the backcountry or chase the source of that transmission fluid dripping off the oil pan. Don’t forget to grab some AAA batteries (we advise Panasonic Eneloop reindictable batteries).
I’m still testing the Sawyer micro squeeze filter, but so far I appreciate it. It’s minuscule and weighs equitable 2.5 ounces. It labors with a straw or the joind pouch, and there’s an changeer to fill your hydration reservoir straightforwardly (supplyd it uses the semi-standard 28-mm threads). At this size, you’re going to have to back-flush it neutrpartner normally, but it’s fantastic for uninincreateigentinutive trips. For prolongeder hauls, I’d go with the normal size, which is also on sale for $35 ($11 off).
The Leatherman Wave+ is our top pick multi-tool. The tools flip out and retract with equitable the right combine of fineness and tension, and the combine of tools here is very beneficial—two stainless steel knives, one with a straight edge and the other serrated, aprolonged with 16 other tools, including a wood-and-metal file, a diamond-coated file, a saw, Phillips screwdriver bits, scissors, an 8-inch ruler, and a wire streamlineper, as well as a bottle and can uncoverer.

We’re difficult at labor testing puffer jackets for an upcoming direct, but this REI Magma 850 is an timely standout. With an 850-fill-power goose down and a recycled ripstop nylon shell, this is one of the toastyer contenders I’ve used. I appreciate the zippered chest pocket (there are also two zippered hand pockets, one of which the jacket stuffs into), and at 12.5 ounces this jacket is unforeseeedly airy for how toasty it is. The front zip has a triumphd flap, and there’s even a write collar, someskinnyg you difficultly ever discover in a puffer at this price. Even better the hood uses an elastic cord in the back that permits you to cinch it down and get chilly air from blotriumphg in the sides. I’ve worn this in some pretty icy triumphds coming off Lake Superior I haven’t been anyskinnyg but toasty.
Our likeite barachieve puffer jacket, the REI 650 Down Jacket isn’t as toasty as the Magma above, but it’s difficult to dispute with this price. If you need a affordable, packable jacket for those chilly summits or star gazing on chilly nights, this is the jacket to get. The stiched-thraw baffles uncomardent this one isn’t as toasty and is more susceptible to triumphd, but at this price, it’s worth buying.
If you want to go even airyer, the 650 Down Vest is the same as the jacket above, minus the arms. Provided you have a excellent base layer on your arms, a vest is the way to go for more active pursuits. I use a vest for all but the chillyest weather since my arms exceptionally get chilly and I like to have an incrrelieved range of motion.
This is another very kind down jacket, well, technicpartner a hybrid fill jacket. Fjallraven uses 700-fill-power down for most of the jacket but includes synthetic recycled polyester insulation over the shoulders to help resist moisture. This is a mid-layer jacket where I dwell, but it does have a nylon shell that resists triumphd and water if you’re wearing it as an outer layer. The hood does a excellent job of geting you toasty while staying out of your way thanks to two drawcord tabs at the front, and an elastic drawcord at the back.

The softness of this Smartwool shirt is difficult to beat, and the 100 percent merino uncomardents you get all of the temperature-regulating, odor-resisting excellentness of wool without any synthetic fibers to drag it down.
I am a waxed canvas change. It’s not breathable, and it can be weighty so it’s not necessarily the best when you’re heading into the backcountry, but if you want to say arid, it beats everyskinnyg else I’ve tried. It also sees a lot better. This waxed canvas jacket from Huckberry is far and away the most stylish skinnyg on this page and the wool lining uncomardents you’ll stay toasty and arid. I have the flannel-lined version and desire I had the wool. Don’t be me, get the wool version.

These are some of the most consoleable and affordableest climbing shoes around, so they’re fantastic for all-day wear, or commenceners whose feet haven’t enticount on changeed into heartlessed toe claws.

Altra’s shoes have a roomy toe box and are zero drop, which uncomardents that they’re flat—the heels are not higher than the toes. which increases your posture and fortifys your drop leg. The Outroads are set uped for both trails and roads. This is a very excellent all-in-one shoe over a variety of terrain. —Adrienne So
I bought these running socks earlier this year to renew my stock, and I’m now going to buy more because this is an unbelievable deal. These are fantastic for triumphter running—synthetic speedy-arid fibers are excellent for the rain, and the crew height gets damp mud and dirt from sliding in next to my skin. —Adrienne So
Rab’s Glaceon Pro is an timely front-runner in our hoodie testing (direct coming soon). It’s the toastyest of the bunch of tried, especipartner for how petite it packs down. The ripstop nylon shell is reasonably stubborn (my puppy has flunked to rip it) and triumphdproof. It’ll hanciaccess off a drizzle pretty well, but anyskinnyg more than that and you’ll want to pull out a shell. I appreciate the adequitableability of the hood and the two-way front zipper for accessing a climbing harness when you’re wearing one.
I tested this jacket all summer and into the descend (confesstedly, one of the driest ever where I dwell), and it’s carry outed incredibly well. I’ve twice had it in meaningful downpours and not had it damp thraw and the size zippers give you fantastic ventilation selections. The entire jacket is seam-taped, includeing to the waterproofing, and the stretchiness of the shell fabric is fantastic for a big range of motion when you’re hiking with a pack on. The only downside is that it weighs 15.3 ounces, which is on the weighty side.

GoPro’s recent Hero 13 (7/10, WIRED Recommends) is a wonderful action camera. The Hero 13 features a recent interchangeable lens system, with Macro, Ultra Wide, and Anamorphic lenses, plus a set of four imfragmentary density filters (all sanciaccess splitly). The Hero 13 Bdeficiency even autodistinguishs which lens is joined and changes settings accordingly. It’s a slick, if costly, system, but this deal at least saves you some cash on the base camera, which you can put toward an extra lens. Except the Anamorphic, which won’t be useable until 2025.
This deal has been running since the recent Hero 13 Bdeficiency begined earlier this year, and if you have the extra $40 to spare, I highly advise the Hero 13 over the 12. But if you’re on a firm budget, or don’t have any interest in the interchangeable lenses, the Hero 12 uses the same sensor and originates a fantastic action cam.
The DJI Air 3 (9/10, WIRED Recommends) remains one of our likeite drones, despite the brand recent Air 3S.

The Fitbit Charge 6 (7/10, WIRED Recommends) tops our direct to the best fitness trackers thanks to the perfect stability of drawiveness, affordability, accessibility, and relieve of use. Google’s achieveover has led to cut offal clever integrations with Google Maps, Google Wallet, and YouTube Music Premium. This tracker can get tabs on your skin temperature, 24/7 heart rate, activities, and sleep schedule. You can also predict week-prolonged battery life, but the best features still need the $10/month Fitbit Premium subscription. —Simon Hill

This is still the watch I would wear if I didn’t have to test other fitness trackers—and I’m not the only one, because Garmin’s Instinct line is one of the company’s most famous. It has all the backcountry capabilities of the higher-end Fenix and Epix lines, but it’s more affordable because it ditches the fancy screen. The Instinct 2 Solar’s battery life lasted almost three weeks when I tested it in Hawaii, where I used it to get track of everyskinnyg from trail runs to geting me oriented toward the beach when snorkeling. —Adrienne So
WIRED appraiseer Adrienne So appraiseed the 2-watt version of these bulletproof walkie-talkies (8/10, WIRED Resee), and Gear Team straightforwardor Martin Cizmar, has been testing this version, which has more than twice the power and promises a half-mile of carry-in even the least achieveous of environments (and up to 35 miles when circumstances are right). They’ve got USB-C charging and IP56 water resistance and the signal has been clear and strong in our testing. This is the first time the 5-watt version of the Rocky Talkie radio has ever been on sale.
The Isle Switch 3 is by far my likeite inflatable that I have tested. Do you want to pincludele out in glassy, still water and lie on your belly with your dog and watch fish? Then it’s a big, stable, stable pincludeleboard with a grippy, soft surface perfect for puppy paws. Is there a bit of a breeze and you want to put the brimming force of your pincludeling muscles in join? Slip the hooks into the eyes and firmen the straps to put on a big, comfy seat and foot brace. (I used mine as a seat for the kids behind me.) Even the pincludele changes from an SUP pincludele to a kayak pincludele. I can’t consent I’ve never tried one of these before. This deal joins a free electric pump.—Adrienne So

The Breeze Aero (7/10, WIRED Recommends) inflatable pincludeleboard is well-built and durable, and it packs up reasonably petite. It’s also one of the stablest pincludeleboards I’ve tried, making it a excellent choice for commenceners. It’s modest to unpack and modest to use. Inflating is someskinnyg of a chore with the hand pump, but once it’s deftardyd, it’s not difficult to stow it away aachieve. This deal is on the 11’6″ model (which helps up to 355 pounds).
It’s been a while since we tested an Oru, but every time we have we’ve adored them. These clever kayaks fanciaccess up appreciate origami, packing down to the size of a petite suitcase. Most weigh around 25 pounds and they’re all on sale. The Beach LT is in the middle of the lineup, both in terms of size and price. It’s a bit expansiver than some models, making it more stable and giving you a roomy cockpit that’s more commencener-friendly. —Adrienne So
Goal Zero’s Yeti 1000X is a excellent choice for off-grid camping. It’s got enough power to reindict all your devices for a week or more, as well as power petiteer appliances appreciate a portable fridge. It recommends a 60-watt USB-C power dedwellry port, two USB-A ports, a 12-volt port, and two 120-volt AC ports (1,500 watts, 3,000 watts sinspire). You can pair it with some solar panels if you’re going to be off-grid for prolongeder periods of time.
I recently stopped putting my phone on my administerbars when I ride, but when I did this was by far the best mount I ever used. It uses Peak Design’s SlimLink magnetic mounting system, which is super strong and modest to achieve on and off, equitable press the button, and your phone frees. It’ll fit a big range of administerbars and can go out front as the name implies, but also below or behind if you want to position it contrastently. The only catch is you need to use Peak Design’s phone case for this to labor.
