Bru Trek Basecamp French Press
We’ve never had better French press coffee than we had when we made it with a Bru Trek. The fine mesh filter keeps grounds out–no, really–and flavor in. We were impressed. Up to 55% off.

Patagonia Synchilla Lightweight Snap-T Fleece Pullover
If we had to pick a favorite cozy fleece pullover (which we did in this post), it would be this one. It fits just right, is warm but not too warm, and crafted from more sustainable materials. It’s up to 50% off for women and 55% of for men depending on the style.
BioLite 600 BaseCharge Power Station
We tested and reviewed the BioLite Base Charge a while back and found it even more impressive than our Goal Zero! It’s an excellent piece of gear to have on hand during extended camping or overlanding trips. It’s currently 25% off, which is a hefty chunk of change when you’re talking about a pricey power station.
