Black Friday Deals on Outdoor Gear: Waxed Canvas Trucker, Beneath Raincoat, and the Teca Fleece

outdoor activities are incredibly fun—whether you’re climbing, running, skiing, camping, biking, or whatever it is you’re into. They’re expensive in the wintertime when you have to factor in everything you need in order to not freeze to death. Thanks to Black Friday, you can stock up on all the gear you need while also saving money. Below, you’ll find a variety of great deals on all the gear that keeps us warm and dry while we’re traipsing around outside.

After the holiday, reviewer Scott Gilbertson will be penning his ode to waxed canvas, the O.G. weatherproof material. In the meantime, we have his pick for the manliest jacket, which is the waxed canvas trucker that you can see on Pedro Pascal in The Last of Us. It is the only jacket that will repel zombie blood from your flannel or hoodie, as you fight to save the ones you love.—Adrienne So

This is our favorite everyday rain jacket. The outside is made from 100 percent rubberized PVC, complete with a cotton and polyester lining that’s comfortable. The hood is large enough for a large beanie or baseball cap and it has double-welded seams that keep water out. We recommend it for those who live in a rainy climate and dread having to re-waterproof their rain jackets every season.

If you enjoy hiking, the Arc’teryxBeta jacket is for you. It’s lighter and thinner but it also has Gore-Tex expanded PE to prevent wind and rain from hitting it and let sweat escape. In addition to the ePE membrane, there’s a soft backer fabric, recycled nylon face fabric, and a C0 DWR coating (which refers to the total absence of harmful fluorocarbons. The website of Arc’teryx is currently on sale for 30 percent off.

If you live in an area that’s easy to get away with skipping a coat, you’ll find the Teca Fleece works very well for subzero temperatures. It’s thin and breathable but still leaves room for additional layers. Meanwhile, the flexible material won’t make you feel constricted. The retro edge is added by the colorblocking design.

This is a great mid-weight jacket that you can layer under a rain jacket or over a tank top. It’s both dense and soft due to being 100 percent merino wool. It will easily help to keep you warm when the temperature dips during the upcoming winter season. It comes in some nice colors and looks very sleek. The discount is visible when you use the code “ADVENTUREINCLUDED” at checkout.

This hoodie has a sporty look but it’s not so tight that you cannot layer underneath it. In addition to a hood, it also has thumb loops and a zippable tall neck. It’s ideal for other activities during the summer when it’s somewhat cooler than during the winter. To see the discount, use the code “ADVENTUREINCLUDED” at checkout.

I can see that I’m on a bit of a manly kick, we will let my spouse deal with this later. Filson is also holding a Black Friday sale. While the company is famous for its waxed jackets, we also like the virtually indestructible hoodie, which is currently 40 percent off. Reviewer Chris Haslam says his one from 2017 has survived countless camping and fishing trips with no fraying and while holding true to its shape.

If this hoodie looks oddly familiar to you, it’s likely because you’ve seen it all over your TikTok For You Page. Both the body and ribbing are comprised of over 70 percent cotton, so it’s more breathable than polyester hoodies. But the highlight here is the fit, which has an exaggerated crop, huge sleeves, and the unique scuba hood that’s big enough to swallow your whole head and zip over your face.

The hoodie we recommend is an oversized fit with structure. The Popflex Cloud has a nice weight to it but does not make her look like a campfire, says Nena Farrell of WIRED. The large hood and drop shoulders drape over your body but retain their form and structure. It looks good with leggings and jeans, it’s also in a bunch of great colors.

An Organic Clothes for Running and Swimming in the Wild – The Perfect Pants in a Top Five Tips for Climbing Gear

The title of these pants is: “ThePerfect pant” in our guide to best climbing gear. They are made of organic cotton and have an elastic waist and a diamond-shaped crotch. The men’s and women’s versions of the pants are the same, so if you’re a woman, make sure to buy a smaller size.

Outdoor activewear company Prana is currently holding a big Black Friday sale, and I’m considering buying another pair of these leggings (both reviewer Nena Farrell and I own these and they are in our Gifts for Mom guide). I don’t have the patience or mental stability to do yoga, but since I wear these, I can crush out my reps in the gym. It’s difficult to explain how soft and close-fitting these leggings are. So.

This is the best bra I’ve found in the guide to merino wool, and I’m so happy with it. Branwyn is currently 25 percent off sitewide. Don’t wear all-organic clothing for your sweaters, jeans, and jackets, while keeping toxic dyes or materials, because it makes no sense. These are sturdy enough to be used as a swimsuit on hiking or camping trips when I must simply dive into the water.

Barefoot Shoes are Great for You, But Why I’m Trying to Squeeze Your Blood with Mine: A Study at Stance and Xero

We have an upcoming guide to the best running shoes that will appear after this holiday, but these shoes are in it. I like Altra for the wide toe box, which lets my foot spread, and the zero drop from heel to toe, which means that my Achilles tendon flexes properly and I don’t give myself tendinitis on my long runs. I can wear the company’s versatile road-to- trail option and run to the trails, run in the woods, and then get back home again. So

Stance is holding a coupon code for 30% off on all of their websites. I am considering getting another three-pack of performance crew socks because I plan on doing laundry twice a week for the winter. They’re lightweight nylon and hold their shape excellently, wick sweat well, and don’t get wrinkled up in my shoe.—Adrienne So

Alo Yoga’s bestselling puffer jacket is 30 percent off, perfectly timed for the winter season. It’s also Alo’s warmest material, designed with water-resistant ripstop and a down alternative fill. Along with the side zip pockets, it features subtle accents like snap front buttons and a removable hood.—Boutayna Chokrane

These are the best hiking boots I’ve ever tested. They’re so light and comfortable that in the winter, I wear them as my everyday shoes. A proprietary last from Zamberlan fits my narrow feet and ankle better than a heat-molded boot and the company claims that its waterproof last lasts for the boot’s lifetime. My boots haven’t reached the end of their life yet, but I intend to skip a river all winter to find out. So that’s right.

Barefoot shoes are very good for you, and you, readers, seem to agree. I have trouble accepting this reality because it’s very cold outside right now and also many barefoot shoes are startlingly ugly. These Lems boots, however, are waterproof, well-made, and do not openly scream, “I swap my blood with that of my 18-year-old son.” (I’m sorry. I’m just kidding. Or are I? We also like to shop at the site, and we love the 10-50 percent off of the Xero shoes.

Everything at the company is 30 percent off, as well as a sale on Amazon. Rothys shoes are pretty unique—they’re knit from recycled plastic water bottles. They are keeping plastic out of the landfills and the shoes are also durable. The company has a recycling program so you can get a new pair of shoes. Reviewer Julian Chokkattu loves them! They’re very comfortable!—Adrienne So

I bought these leggings when I started going to the gym, but my budget does not allow it. They are great. The pockets are deep and hold my phone, and the waist doesn’t roll down. The leggings are in their shape all day. I did get a hole on the back of one of my pairs, but I think it was due to user error (also known as long press-on nails). They’re available in a bunch of fun colors and there are matching longline bras (also discounted and great) that make me feel more put together at the gym without costing a fortune in the process. Right now you could get a whole outfit for $37 instead of $57, which is a very good deal indeed.—Louryn Strampe

The best leggings will be in our guide, which will be published soon. When it comes to the Booty Boost leggings, I’m more impressed by the seamless design and quick-dry fabric that make them perfect for spin and hotPilates classes, even though they’re not a fan of their built-in bum lift. The full length version is also half off, if you prefer leggings that are longer in the wintertime. Cyber Monday is when the entire Bootyboost collection is 50 percent off: the flare pants, jumpsuit, bike shorts, and more. (BTW, make sure you size up—Spanx are tight.) —Boutayna Chokrane

The TikTok hoodie is selling fast. An Editor. So loves the fluffiness of the stitching. It runs small, so I’d recommend going up one size for a standard fit, or two sizes for a baggy, Gen Z-approved aesthetic. The Cozy Fleece Mega Sweatpant is also on sale for $60 ($10 off) if you’re looking to snag a matching set.—Boutayna Chokrane

It takes a certain amount of energy to be a fwd gear writer. Many of us are into outdoor activities, like climbing, running, skiing, camping, or biking. You need specialized clothing in order to not be killed by the cold. We spend so much time shuffling boxes and forcing our husbands to help us unbox TVs that we overlook time spent moving around on treadmills and pizza ovens. It’s a rough life, but someone

Do you want people to think a person is spending most of their time swinging kettle bells and watching videos of self-driving cars? Thanks to Cyber Monday, you can. Here are the best deals on items that keep us warm while we wander around outside.
