Memorial Day weekend has quietly become one of the best times of the year to buy expensive gear you were probably already eyeing — not because retailers suddenly become generous, but because brands are trying to clear inventory before the next wave of summer launches arrives.
The result is a rare moment where premium headphones, hiking gear, patio furniture, sneakers, espresso machines and smart-home tech all start overlapping in sale territory at the same time. We spent the weekend digging through the noise to surface the deals actually worth your attention: the genuinely good products with meaningful discounts, plus the site-wide sales worth browsing before the long weekend disappears.

Aer Carry-On
This award-winning bag boasts an ultra-durable Makrolon polycarbonate hard shell exterior, Hinomoto miraclent ball-bearing omnidirectional wheels (with a brake system that will stop it from rolling away,) a Cordura liner, an internal organizational system aided by Fidlock fasteners and more.
The Sonos Arc Ultra is the company’s flagship Dolby Atmos soundbar. It looks quite similar to the older Arc, but packs more drivers, has a redesigned center channel, and takes advanced of a new woofer technology called “Sound Motion.” This helps the Arc Ultra deliver better midrange and more bass than the Arc, despite being similar in size. While it was once cheaper than this price, the impact of inflation likely means this is a new all-time low.
We think Monos’s carry-on may slightly edge Away for overall travel benefits. The exterior pocket isn’t perfect, but it’s still a useful feature for anyone looking to fly with just a carry-on and small personal item. Right now, you can save 20% on all Monos bags using the code WEEKEND20.
The Nike Vaporfly 4 is the latest iteration of Nike’s flagship road racing shoe, trimmed down from the Vaporfly 3 across the upper, midsole and outsole without giving up performance. A full-length carbon fiber Flyplate sits at a steeper angle than its predecessor, working with a double stack of ZoomX foam to deliver propulsive energy return on every stride. The lightweight engineered mesh upper keeps things snug and breathable, and the heel-to-toe drop has been reduced from 8mm to 6mm. Built for racing from the mile to the marathon. Use code START to get an extra 20% off.
Ooni’s Koda 2 Pro may just be the best pizza oven for families or hosts. The large 18-inch cooking surface can handle oversized pies for sharing, while also being big enough to take in baking sheets or large skillets. With dual lateral gas burners, even heating extends across the entire stone with less chance of temperature fluctation. It’s also the first Ooni oven to come in two colorways — classic black and Slate Blue.
Gerber’s latest multi-tool combines two of its popular models, Stakeout and Drive, into one multi purpose, compact tool that works equally well outdoors and on DIY projects around the house. By ditching the namesake tent stake puller and replacing it with a flip bit driver, the Stakeout Drive has become a go-to tool for any sort of task. 10 tools and a butterfly opening complete the utilitarian package.
Peak Design’s Roller Pro is a carry-on travel roller built around a proprietary SlimDrive trolley system that uses a 7mm carbon fiber weave instead of traditional hollow tubes, freeing up usable interior space. The shell combines a rigid polycarbonate frame with recycled Versa Shell fabric and EVA foam padding for durability and protection. A drawbridge-style opening provides full visibility into the main compartment, while a quick-access front pocket handles everyday essentials. Available in three colorways and backed by a lifetime warranty.
Monos’s carry-on-sized hybrid bag combines a plastic polycarbonate shell with color-matched aluminum. Right now you can save 20% on all Monos bags using the code WEEKEND20.
The Steelcase Gesture is a fully adjustable ergonomic office chair designed to support a wide range of body types and sitting postures. Its 3D LiveBack system flexes with the spine through its full range of motion and includes height-adjustable lumbar support, while 360-degree arms move up, down, in, out and pivot to accommodate nearly any working position. The seat features flexible edges and adaptive foam bolstering to reduce pressure over long sessions. It reclines manually with three angle-stop settings and supports up to 400 pounds. Backed by a 12-year warranty on parts and labor.
The Cotopaxi Allpa 60L Gear Hauler Tote is a high-capacity carry bag built for camp trips, climbing days and weekend travel. Its shell combines 1000D TPU-coated polyester with 840D nylon paneling for serious durability, while compression straps keep gear from shifting in transit. Dual top handles and side handles offer a few different ways to carry the load, and an exterior zip pocket and interior slip pocket handle organization. Available in Black, Blue Spruce/Abyss, Fatigue and Moonbeam.
The Yeti Ranchero 18L is a daily carry backpack built around Mystery Ranch pack-building expertise and Yeti’s signature durability. Its RipZip opening provides wide access to the main compartment without fully unzipping the bag, while a padded laptop sleeve and organizational pockets keep gear sorted. Constructed from 840-denier nylon with a DWR coating, the 18L is sized for commutes, day trips and light travel. Currently marked down 20 percent from its original $200 retail price in core colorways.
The Garmin inReach Mini 3 is a compact satellite communicator designed for anyone venturing beyond cell service. It connects to the global Iridium satellite network for two-way text messaging and real-time LiveTrack location sharing, and can trigger an interactive SOS to Garmin’s 24/7 monitoring center from anywhere on Earth. A 1.9-inch color touchscreen handles navigation, weather reports and trip tracking, while a pressure-based altimeter and compass round out the feature set. Battery life stretches to 350 hours with 10-minute tracking intervals, and it charges via USB-C. An active satellite subscription is required.

The BioLite Range 500 is the top of the brand’s Range headlamp lineup, putting out 500 lumens with a beam that reaches 100 meters. It features five lighting modes including a White Flood option for wider peripheral visibility not found on lower models, plus a Red Flood and Red Strobe for low-impact light. USB-C fast charging takes the 1,634 mAh battery from zero to 80 percent in 30 minutes, and a quick-boost feature adds an hour of runtime in just eight minutes. Rated IP67 submersible and weighs 2.6 ounces.
The Sony WH-1000XM6 are the company’s new flagship noise-canceling wireless headphones for 2025, and they’ve been completely upgraded over the brand’s 2022-released XM5. Compared to its predecessors, the XM6 have drastically improved ANC thanks to a new processor (which is “seven times faster”) and twelve built-in mics (versus the previous eight). They boast a redesigned driver and new upscaling technology for improved sound. And the headphones have an improved foldable design — they can fold flat and compactly (the latter their predecessors could not) — and have a round on/off power button (instead of being the same shape as the ANC button). The only real caveat is that Sony added $50 to the price tag.
This popular little light doesn’t have the convenient wearability of a headlamp, but it’s still lightweight, easy to set up and use, and offers a wide array of light modes.
This follow-up to the mega-popular AlpenGlow is a teeny package, with just as much of a kick: four light modes, 150 lumen output and plenty of functional features.
In 2023, Huckberry and Timex teamed up to create an exact reproduction of the 1999 Ironman Flix. Several production runs sold out quickly, and that was that. But now the fan-favorite model of the original training watch is back in a brand new color scheme. Aside from the olive drab case and strap with a black bezel and hunter orange highlights, it is the exact same watch as the original. Features include a chronograph, a countdown timer, a 100-lap memory, a daily alarm and a 10-entry memo pad. As before, this is a limited run that won’t last long.
As with Peak Design’s previous bags, this pack combines premium materials and smart details. Regarding the former, we’re talking PFAS-free 100% recycled weatherproof Terra Shell exterior fabric, abrasion-resistant Ultra Zips and slash-resistant UHMWPE (ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene) cording. As for the latter, highlights include the stowable hip belt, Ultra Cinch access, Cordhook external carry system and the ability to mount the Outdoor Sling to your chest.
The Era 300 is a first-of-its-kind speaker for Sonos, specifically designed to play immersive audio that supports Dolby Atmos. Like the Era 100, the Era 300 supports Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and line-in audio (via USB-C) and thus there are more ways to play audio from it.
Sonos has quietly revealed the second generation of its ultra-portable Bluetooth speaker alongside its new Ace headphones. While it’s called the Roam 2, it’s more of an iterative release. The most noteworthy changes include a more straightforward setup option – now it can be used immediately like any other Bluetooth speaker without dealing with the Sonos app. It also now features a dedicated Bluetooth pairing button. However, one potential loss is that the battery is no longer replaceable, and the run time remains the same at ~10 hours of use. Aesthetically, it’s virtually identical to the previous generation, save the fact that the Sonos logo now matches the speaker’s color.
The Nike Vomero Plus is a max-cushion daily trainer built around a full-length stack of ZoomX foam — the same ultra-responsive midsole compound found in Nike’s racing lineup, tuned here for all-day comfort rather than race-day speed. A 10mm heel-to-toe drop and high-abrasion rubber outsole make it a capable choice for easy miles and recovery runs, while the soft engineered mesh upper keeps things breathable over long efforts. Webbed lace loops allow for a customizable fit, and reflective details add low-light visibility.
This sleek outdoor-oriented folder delivers everyday dependable capability without breaking the bank. Highlights include a 3.24-inch drop-point blade made of 440A stainless steel, deployable via thumb slot and pivot lock, plus ergonomic, textured handle scales made of light but tough glass-filled nylon (GFN). A lanyard slot, tip-up clip and weight of just 3.05 ounces make it easy to carry on a pack or in your pocket till you need it.
One of our favorites from Filson, this editor-reviewed duffle has a rugged, lightly waxed 100% cotton exterior that’s resistant to water and abrasions. Its 33-liter capacity makes it only a little bit bigger than a backpack, but it makes up for it with the convenience of its undivided interior pocket.
Apple’s AirPods Pro 3 introduce a powerful set of upgrades, highlighted by the addition of a built-in heart rate monitor for real-time health tracking during workouts. Active Noise Cancellation is now twice as effective as the previous generation, providing even deeper immersion and quieter environments, while new foam-infused ear tips ensure a more secure fit for a wider range of users. The standout new Live Translation feature enables seamless, in-ear real-time conversations across multiple languages, leveraging Apple Intelligence for effortless communication. Together, these enhancements make AirPods Pro 3 an even more versatile and indispensable personal audio companion.
This discontinued travel pack was once dubbed “the greatest bag ever made.” Then Filson did the unthinkable. It retired the bag. After years of gaining a cult following on the secondary market, a merchandising manager at Huckberry managed to get Filson to revive the bag in its original glory, and since then, it’s now been made available in new compelling shades including navy.
The Flint and Tinder Mason Canvas Barn Jacket is a utilitarian chore coat cut from a hardwearing stretch canvas and reinforced throughout with triple-needle stitching. Its design pulls from vintage ranch and workwear references, with a corduroy collar, metal hardware, adjustable shank buttons at the cuffs and five pockets — two drop-in patch pockets up front, two chest pockets and an interior pocket. It’s built to layer comfortably and develops character with extended wear. Available in Khaki and Dark Olive.
The Flint and Tinder Selvedge Denim Chore Jacket is built from 11-ounce all-cotton selvedge denim — light enough to wear year-round, durable enough to hold up over years of use. A signature selvedge ID runs along the interior front placket as a nod to the slow-speed shuttle loom weaving process, while custom shank buttons and a four-pocket layout — including a secure interior chest pocket — keep the design functional. Adjustable button cuffs and a classic fit that layers easily over a shirt or light sweater round things out.
The Wills Rosedale Classic Blazer is a tailored sport coat handcrafted in Portugal by a family-run factory with over 50 years of experience. It’s cut from a breathable, high-twist tropical wool with a touch of stretch for all-season wear. A three-roll-two button stance, unstructured body and double-vented back keep the silhouette relaxed without sacrificing polish. The jacket is fully lined with internal bound seams for clean construction, and features an angled welt chest pocket, two front flap pockets and two interior buttoned welt pockets. Available in Charcoal and Navy.
The Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer Gen 2 brings the classic Wayfarer silhouette into the smart glasses era with a meaningful spec bump over the first generation. The 12 MP ultra-wide camera now captures up to 3K video, battery life doubles to eight hours on a charge with up to 48 hours from the included charging case, and Meta AI is built in for hands-free translation, questions and playback control. Open-ear speakers handle calls and audio without blocking ambient sound, and the IPX4 rating keeps things splash-resistant. Available in multiple lens and frame color combinations.
When it comes to driver-focused multi-tools, Gerber’s Center-Drive deserves a king’s crown. Of course, it also has a bunch of other handy functions, too — like pliers, a knife blade, a saw, bottle and can openers and much more.
Thanks to integrated straps, Dometic’s functional water jug is easy to carry and offers various ways to pour water. It’s also compatible with the genius Dometic Go Hydration Water Faucet to create the perfect outdoor sink setup for cooking or cleaning.
Lasting up to 40 hours per charge, these string lights from BioLite offer a durable and long-lasting solution to all your basecamp lighting needs. Each unit comes with 20 shatterproof bulbs, and the 4,000 mAh rechargeable battery can detach and double as a bank for your smartphone, headlamp and more.
Yeti Rambler Vacuum Wine Tumbler with MagSlider Lid
The YETI Rambler Vacuum Wine Tumbler is a 10-ounce stainless steel tumbler built specifically for wine, though it handles any cold drink just as well. Double-wall vacuum insulation keeps contents cold without condensation, and the MagSlider lid opens smoothly with a single push. The 18/8 stainless steel construction resists dents and drops, and DuraCoat finish won’t peel or crack over time. Dishwasher safe for easy cleanup. Available in Navy and Rescue Red.
The Helinox Cot Max Convertible is a camping cot built around the brand’s ultralight DAC aluminum alloy frame, offering a sleeping surface that’s 3.5 inches wider and 8 inches longer than the standard Cot One Convertible. Lever-lock tensioning keeps the recycled polyester ripstop fabric taut and sag-free, and shockcorded poles make setup straightforward. At 6 pounds 6 ounces packed, it fits into a compact cylindrical case roughly the size of a tent bag. Optional leg extensions (sold separately) let you raise the cot height from 6.5 inches to 15 inches off the ground.
Built for two and designed for car camping comfort, the Exped MegaMat Duo is a self-inflating sleeping pad that prioritizes genuine sleep quality over packability. Its 4-inch open-cell polyurethane foam core provides an R-value of 8.1, making it well-suited for three-season and cold-weather camping. Three-dimensional sidewall construction maximizes usable sleep surface, and the included Top-Up Pump lets you dial in firmness. Available in Medium Duo, Long Wide-Plus Duo, and Queen sizes to accommodate different sleeping arrangements and tent footprints.
Black Diamond’s versatile camp lantern boasts adjustable brightness, multiple color tones, integrated magnets and hooks for attachment and a dual-fuel design that uses either AAA batteries or a rechargeable battery pack (sold separately).
This is an award-winning headlamp for good reason. It can be powered by traditional batteries or a rechargeable BD 1500 lithium-ion battery and charger (sold separately). There’s a red light for preserving night vision, strobe modes, beam distance adjustment and more.
The Kelty Low Loveseat is a two-person camp chair designed with a low-profile, reclined profile that keeps you closer to the fire and out of the sightlines of everyone behind you. The steel frame is powder-coated for durability, and the 600-denier polyester seat is built to hold up across seasons. Adjustable armrests and two insulated cup holders cover the comfort basics, and at a combined weight capacity of 400 pounds it handles most situations. It packs down into an included roll-tote bag for easy transport to the campsite or festival grounds.
The YETI Hopper M15 is a portable soft cooler built for day trips, beach outings and time on the water. Its MagShield Access closure uses powerful magnets to create a leak-resistant seal that stays open hands-free, making it easy to grab what you need. ColdCell insulation keeps contents cold for hours, while the DryHide shell resists punctures and UV exposure. A zippered Kangaroo Pocket on the exterior handles small essentials, and the cooler fits up to 32 twelve-ounce cans. Available in multiple colorways to suit any outing.
The Kelty Low Loveseat Nest builds on the standard Low Loveseat with the addition of two removable, machine-washable blankets made from insulated soft-touch fabric — a practical upgrade for cooler evenings at the campsite or backyard. The rest of the chair carries over what works: a powder-coated steel frame, 600-denier polyester seat, adjustable armrests, two insulated cup holders and a low-profile reclined design that keeps you comfortable without blocking anyone’s view. The carry wrap doubles as a padded dog mat, and the whole setup folds down compactly for easy transport.
Lightweight and rugged, the Tread is Gozney’s take on a portable pizza oven built for camping, overlanding and every type of adventure in-between. It features a lateral gas burner that helps the oven reach 950 degrees in 15 minutes, while a tripod stand (sold separately) means it can work in a variety different locations, regardless of whether or not the ground is even.
Ooni’s largest pizza oven has a palatial 24 in. cooking area — enough space to simultaneously cook three personal pies (10 in.), two standard pizzas (12 in.) or even one massive New York–style pizza (20 in.).
