Alpacka Raft, the Colorado-based outfitter, is offering a 15% sitewide discount as part of its Holiday Sale, running now through Dec. 31. Known for its hand-crafted packrafts, Alpacka’s rare sale provides an opportunity for newcomers and experienced packrafters alike to purchase gear at a reduced price.

Notably, this sale marks the last chance to purchase four retiring models — the Classic, Wolverine, GnarMule, and Gnarwhal — before they’re officially discontinued in 2025. For example, you can’t go wrong with the Gnarwhal, which earned high praise in GearJunkie’s guide to The Best Packrafts of 2024.

The Holiday Sale is available exclusively through Alpacka’s website, offering a rare chance to save on gear that rarely sees markdowns.

Columbia’s holiday sale is now live, offering hefty discounts on lots of outdoor gear, including outerwear, boots, and camping essentials. A standout offer is the 4-Person Dome Tent.

The tent uses bent-ferrule poles for extra headroom, a mesh design to keep insects out, and reflective guylines for visibility at night. It includes a built-in storage pocket, an electrical cord port, and a waterproof coating.

DICK’S Sporting Goods: Up to 50% Off

You don’t want to sleep on the holiday sale from DICK’S Sporting Goods, which offers loads of sweet gear for half price this season. As a more mainstream retailer than REI, you can find lots of cheap equipment for team sports — as well as the camping, hiking, and running categories.

Given HOKA is having quite the moment in the running world, it’s not common to find decent deals on these popular kicks. So it’s welcome to see the HOKA Bondi selling for 20% off through the DICK’S sale. The popular model is discounted for both men and women. Take advantage quickly to ensure you get the size and color you want. In a 2022 GearJunkie review, we said the HOKA Bondi has become “one of the better shoes in the HOKA line.”

MEATER is offering 20% off select products from November 14 to December 9, making it easier to score deals on its popular wireless meat thermometers. The discount applies to the MEATER Plus, MEATER Block, and MEATER Pro.

We’re big fans of this brand here at GearJunkie. Editorial Director Sean McCoy said he’d “never go back to a dumb thermometer” after trying out the MEATER Pro. You can save $80 by buying the MEATER Pro Duo, which currently includes a free MEATER SE as part of the brand’s holiday promotion.
