Once upon a time, Black Friday offered a single day of the best deals all year long. Now, of course, Black Friday is simply the focus point in a season of holiday discounts. This period of righteous deals stretches not only forward to Cyber Monday but also backward through November as more brands take advantage of the flexibility offered by e-commerce.

That means even more opportunities for sales sleuthing across the infinite real estate of the World Wide Web. If that sounds like a lot of work — it is. Luckily, you have your friendly neighborhood GearJunkies to do the heavy lifting for you. So say hello to our guide to the best outdoor gear deals for Black Friday.

Many sales are already live, and we’ll regularly add to this list as the month progresses.

This Black Friday, KEEN will sell you lots of sturdy hikers at discounts steeper than a Colorado 14er (ask a friend). Many of the brand’s running shoes, boots, and trail runners will sell for half off this week, starting on Thanksgiving Day. That includes the Men’s NXIS EVO Waterproof Boot, available for half off through December 2. Waterproof and breathable, they’re a solid choice for any nature lover.

Traeger has slashed hundreds of dollars off its sturdy outdoor grills for Black Friday this month. That includes $100 off the Traeger Flatrock Flat Top Grill, $200 off the Traeger Ironwood Grill, and $300 off the Timberline Pellet Grill (seen above). According to a 2020 GearJunkie review, Traeger’s pellet grills work great “for a large family or a small party.”

Deals for Cyclists

Knog makes some sweet and highly functional bike lights, as I can attest. I’ve been testing out the Knog Blinder 900 Front Bike Light and the Blinder Link Rear Bike Light, and they’ve kept me visible and safe on the busy roads and bike paths of Atlanta. With easy attachments and multiple light modes, they’re a great option for both casual cyclists and serious shredders.

They’re both 25% under the sitewide sale happening at Knog.

Even more impressive, you can get any Sea to Summit tent for 50% off. An award-winning Telos Freestanding Ultralight Tent for just $300? Deals that good may not come around again until next year, friends.

Life vests. The piece of gear that’s absolutely essential and rarely on sale — except for this week. Astral makes some of the Best PFDs of 2024, and its bestseller, the YTV, is a whopping 50% off this week. But plenty of the brand’s other life vests are on sale, too. Astral is offering 25% off nearly everything on its site this week.

This popular brand’s accessories are super-popular among watersports lovers, so take advantage of the deals before the inventory sells out. As a bonus, 5% of profits currently go to Hurricane Helene relief efforts.

One of Wiley X’s most recent releases, the Founder, was a “pleasant surprise,” AllGear Editorial Director Sean McCoy wrote in a review this year. You can get the Founder and any other model from the brand for 20% off during its Black Friday sale. However, select styles are discounted by up to 40%, including the WX Covert.

Miscellaneous Deals

DUER makes some of the toughest and hippest pants around, in my humble opinion, so the brand’s Black Friday sale is well worth a look.

Need some suggestions? For some truly durable jeans, consider DUER’s Performance Denim. I’d suggest the Athletic Straight style, but you can also choose from relaxed taper and slim fit. For something a bit more formal but still durable, the No Sweat Pant (chino-style) is pretty sweet, too.

Black Friday FAQ

1. What can I do to make the most of Black Friday?

Get ready now! Start making a list of the items you want. (It’s also helpful to set a budget to avoid overspending.) Research the normal MSRP prices of your favored gear to identify the best deals. If there’s a specific brand that you love, visit its website to sign up for deal alerts via email or text message.

2. What is the best time to shop for Black Friday deals?

While Black Friday itself is the big day, many retailers begin their sales earlier — as this guide illustrates. So you can start shopping online as soon as deals go live to snag the best stuff before it sells out. As for in-store shopping: Arrive early in the morning to get your preferred item before it sells out.

3. Can I find online Black Friday deals as good as in-store sales?

Yes, online deals can be just as awesome as in-store deals — sometimes even better. Retailers now love to churn out online-only promotions, often with discount codes. Perhaps more importantly, shopping online saves time and avoids crowds.

4. How can I avoid scams or misleading deals during Black Friday?

Always shop from reputable retailers and check for secure payment methods. Watch out for deals that seem too good to be true, and check reviews. It’s also a good idea to double-check the product details, as this will sometimes reveal the product is not exactly what it seems at first glance.

5. What are some additional strategies to save even more during Black Friday?

Keep your eyes open for coupons, cashback apps, and loyalty programs. Look out for bundles, as many retailers offer discounts when you buy multiple items, especially on Black Friday.

Finally, keep an eye on return policies to make sure you can easily return or exchange items if needed. When you’re buying online, it’s always good to ensure that you can return something that doesn’t work out.
