To help make sure you're picking gear that's a great value in addition to a great deal, we've picked out some of our favs of the gear that we've actually tried, that we trust, and that we still use on the regular. ## Solar Generators, Power Stations, and Solar Panels Honestly it's rare that the likes of Jackery, Bluetti, and Anker aren't on sale, so I was extra choosy with these picks. Don't settle for anything less than 40 percent off. - [Jackery Explorer 1000 with 200W Solar Panel]() is 49% off - [Anker Solix C1000 with BP 1000 Expansion Battery]() is 53% off - [Goal Zero Yeti Pro 4000]() is 49% off - [Anker Solix PS400]() is 50% off ## Osprey Backpacks In the world of backpacks, Osprey is king and it's been that way for years. They have absolutely nailed suspension and back panel airflow and their products span traditional backpacking backpacks to day packs to borderline ultralight options. The Exos (men's) and Eja (women's) in particular have impressed us for those that are looking to get into lightweight backpacking. - [Osprey Exos 48]() is 15% off - [Osprey Eja 58]() is 15% off **Read Next:** [The Best Backpacking Backpacks]() Their more traditional Aether/Ariel model has been around for years and is a staple for the weekend warrior set. - [Osprey Aether 60L]() is 15% off - [Osprey Ariel 65L]() is 25% off Osprey has also impressed with its day packs. I'm recommending the smaller size here as it's plenty of size for all your summer hiking needs. - Men's: [Osprey Talon 22L]() is 15% off - Women's: [Osprey Tempest 22L]() is 15% off **Read Next:** [The Best Hiking Daypacks]() ## Solo Stove If you've been holding off on making your purchase of a Solo Stove for a really good deal, this one should get your attention. The Bonfire is on sale for over $100 this Prime Day. - [Solo Stove Bonfire]() is 25% off ## Backpacking Water Filters Sawyer makes great water filters that last and last and last. If you're still using an old-school pump filter, this is the upgrade you need. If you're looking to update your emergency kit, this is also a better than a certain straw that is always being sold in five-packs around this time. - [Sawyer Micro Squeeze]() is 25% off - [Sawyer Squeeze Filter System]() is 25% off - [Sawyer Mini]() is 25% off **Read Next:** [The Best Backpacking Water Filters]() Another water filter that had a top performance in testing was the Platypus Quickdraw. Platypus is under the same banner as MSR and Therm-a-Rest and share their excellent warranty and repair shop. - [Platypus Quickdraw]() is 25% off To my mind, Grayls filters are a little too heavy to bring backpacking. But they sure look cool, and they would be top of my list for an international trip where the water was extra sketchy, as these also filter out viruses. - [Grayl Ultrapress]() is $135 - [Grayl GeoPress]() is $80 - [Grayl UltraPress]() is $72 ## Nalgene Can't find your Nalgene? Yeah, me neither. Fortunately, they're on sale for Prime Day. - [Nalgenes]() are 22% off! ## Pelican Coolers OK, so this isn't the \*best\* cooler I've ever tested, but it is still really good and it is far and away the best warranty. (Yes, better than Yeti's.) If you're exceptionally hard on your gear, do not pass this up. - [Pelican Elite Wheeled Cooler 65]() is 12% off - [Pelican 30QT Elite]() is on sale for $50 off on Pelican's website ## Yeti - [Yeti Tundra 45]() is 25% off - [Yeti Tundra 35]() is 25% off - [Yeti Hopper Backpack Cooler]() is 25% off - [Yeti Lowlands Blanket]() is 25% off ## Hest If you like to be cozy while you camp, then make sure that Hest is on your radar. Their stuff is pricey, but always worth it. They've got some solid sales on for Prime Day. - [Hest Down Comforter]() is 20% off - [Hest Camping Pillow]() is 20% off - [Hest Foamy Camping Mattress]() is 20% off ## Camp Chef - [Camp Chef Mountain Series Everest 2X]() is 24% off ## Thermacell It's summer, which means bugs bugs bugs. Get some relief with one of these great Thermacell options. - [Thermacell MR300 Mosquito Portable Repeller]() is 29% off - [Thermacell E-Series Rechargeable Mosquito Repeller]() is 40% off ## Therm-a-Rest If you haven't updated your camping mattress in a minute, you might be surprised at just how comfortable they've gotten. This is a great deal from a legendary outdoor brand, Therm-a-Rest. - [Therm-a-Rest MondoKing 3D Self-Inflating Sleeping Pad]() is 25% off ## Free Fly These layers, especially the bamboo ones, are incredible for long, hot, stinky days. I've been wearing these for over a year and they only get more comfortable with time. - [Men's Breeze Pants]() are 20% off - [Men's Lightweight Hoodie]() is 20% off - [Men's Breeze Shorts]() are 20% off - [Women's Breeze Shorts]() are 15% off - [Women's Free Fly Elevate Hoodie]() is 20% off - [Women's Jogger Pants]() are 20% off ## Wilderness Systems This was our top pick for [fishing kayaks under $1000](), and now it's an even better deal for Prime Day. - Save $220 on the [Wilderness Systems Tarpon 105]() ## Author Laura Lancaster is an Outdoor Life's gear writer where she focuses on in-depth testing of backpacking and camping gear, with a particular interest in lightweight and ultralight gear.
