Garmin fenix 8 AMOLED Sapphire
Our upgrade pick for the best hiking and backpacking watch isn’t cheap, but this deal makes it a great value. This is a top-of-the-line GPS watch with major updates on the previous fenix 7 and 7 Pro watch, a minor interim update compared to what we’re seeing here.

Garmin Instinct 3 Solar
First sale we’ve seen on the Best Overall Winner in our Best Hiking and Backpacking GPS Watches story. The solar version has almost double the battery life of previous GPS watches. It’s set the standard for water, shock, and dust resistance with tracking features and mapping that is unparalleled for the price.
Hoka Speedgoat 5
19% off a winner in our Best Men’s Trail Running Shoes. The Speedgoat has comfortable and surprisingly lightweight cushioning while also sporting aggressive tread. These are a fav of trail runners everywhere.
