Black Friday deals 2026: the best running, outdoor and wellness gear sales (tested picks)

Updated as deals go live: Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2026 sales on the running, outdoor, home gym, and wellness gear we've tested and recommend.

Last updated November 11, 2026. Tonal's $1,000-off sale, PAKA free shipping, 5.11 outerwear, EcoFlow, AG1 and Chirp are live now. The next big wave of brand sales lands between November 17 and 23, with the biggest offers over Black Friday weekend (November 27) and Cyber Monday (November 30). Bookmark this page and check back: we update it the moment a new deal goes live.

Black Friday is the best time of year to upgrade the gear you use most, whether that's a GPS watch, trail socks, a home gym, recovery tools, or the power station that gets you through storm season.

The difference with this list: every deal here is on a product we've tested and would recommend at full price. No filler, no mystery brands, just the sales worth your money, with the dates each one runs so you can plan.

Shopping for someone else? Pair this page with my gift guides: best gifts for outdoorsy people, best gifts for runners, best gifts for hikers, and best wellness gifts. Most of those picks will show up here at a discount before the season is out.

Running and training deals

AG1 Next Gen (free Immune Support Bundle, then 25% off)

Shop at AG1

AG1 (review here) has been the foundation of my mornings for years, and it rarely goes on sale, so this is the window. Through November 15, new subscriptions get a free Immune Support Bundle added automatically, no code needed.

From November 16 to 30 the offer switches to 25% off subscriptions to Next Gen, Pro, Energy+, and Essentials with code BFCM25, which is the biggest AG1 discount I've seen all year. Subscriptions can be canceled any time, so start there.

Deal dates: free bundle through Nov 15, then 25% off Nov 16 to 30 with code BFCM25.

Suunto Race 2 ($100 off from Nov 19, up to 46% off sitewide)

Shop at Suunto

Until the sale starts on November 19, use code AFFR15TAK for 15% off your order at Suunto.

Suunto's Black Friday sale runs November 19 to December 20 with up to 46% off sitewide, and the deal I'd target is $100 off the Race 2 (review here) from November 19 to 30. The Race 2 is Suunto finally balancing modern tech with serious endurance use: an outstanding screen, ultra-level battery life, and a heart rate sensor I can rely on without a chest strap.

If you want the mountain flagship, the Vertical 2 (review here) is in the sale too, and the no-GPS Core 2 is the hiker's watch on my gift lists this year.

Outdoor and adventure gear deals

PAKA alpaca apparel (free shipping now, 30% off from Nov 23)

Shop at PAKA

Use code FREESHIPTRAIL for free shipping at PAKA through November 18.

PAKA's alpaca layers are the most-worn pieces in my wardrobe, and they feature in three of my gift guides this year: the Trail Socks ($24), the Sol Hoodie ($99, review here), and the Lightweight Hoodie ($149) that lives on my shoulders from October to April.

Two offers to plan around. Right now, our reader code gets you free shipping on anything. Then from November 23 to 30, PAKA takes 30% off when you buy three or more products, which is the moment to stock up on socks for the whole family.

Darn Tough socks (free shipping and gifts, Nov 27 to 30)

Shop at Darn Tough

Darn Tough doesn't discount its socks (the lifetime guarantee is the discount), so Black Friday is about the extras. From November 27 to 30, every order ships free, and from November 27 to 29 orders over $150 get a free Darn Tough beanie, with free Black Friday wrapping paper on qualifying orders. On Cyber Monday, November 30, orders over $125 get a free bag of Darn Tough coffee.

The Hiker Micro Crew Midweight ($26) is the pair on my hikers gift list, and the Run No Show Tab ($20) is the road-running pick. Six pairs gets you over the beanie threshold and sorts every stocking in the house.

Deal dates: Nov 27 to 30 (free shipping), Nov 27 to 29 (beanie with $150+), Nov 30 (coffee with $125+).

5.11 Tactical (30% off outerwear now, bags from Nov 19, 20% off everything from Nov 23)

Shop at 5.11

5.11 is running a rolling month of offers. Outerwear is 30% off from November 12 to 16 (the Founder's Jacket is excluded), bags are 30% off from November 19 to 22, and from November 23 to December 2 the full catalog is 20% off including clearance, with deeper cuts up to 50% on select items. Cyber Monday (November 30 to December 2) stacks an extra 40% off clearance on top.

The bag I'd buy is the RUSH 12 2.0 ($110, so about $77 in the bag sale), the bombproof 24L daypack from my outdoorsy gift guide that doubles as a carry-on and a range bag.

Deal dates: outerwear Nov 12 to 16, bags Nov 19 to 22, 20% off sitewide Nov 23 to Dec 2, extra 40% off clearance Nov 30 to Dec 2.

Lems Primal 3 (25% off sitewide, Nov 17 to Dec 1)

Shop at LEMS

The Primal 3 (review here) is the lifestyle shoe for when you want your feet to feel like themselves at the end of the day: light, flexible, foot-shaped where it counts, and just protective enough to live in on hard surfaces. At $125 it's already fair, and 25% off brings it to about $94.

Lems takes 25% off sitewide from November 17 to December 1. Note that the new fall releases and non-Lems accessories are excluded, so this is the window for the core styles rather than the latest drops.

Deal dates: Nov 17 to Dec 1.

Goal Zero Yeti 300 (25% off all power, Nov 24 to Dec 14)

Shop at Goal Zero

The Yeti 300 (review here) is the compact power station I'd trust when it matters: fast charging, 100W USB-C PD, 4,000-cycle LiFePO4 longevity, IPX4 weather resistance, and a 13.7-pound package that actually gets carried. At $349.95, 25% off takes it to about $262.

From November 24 to December 14, Goal Zero takes 25% off all of its power products: every Yeti power station, Nomad solar panel, and Venture power bank. On Cyber Monday only (November 30), goalzero.com adds a free Lighthouse 600 lantern ($79.95) with any Yeti power station purchase.

Deal dates: Nov 24 to Dec 14, with the free Lighthouse on Nov 30 only.

EcoFlow Black Friday sale (up to 52% off, now through Dec 7)

Shop the EcoFlow Sale

EcoFlow's Black Friday sale is already live and runs through December 7 with up to 52% off select gear. I've tested EcoFlow's DELTA and RIVER units for years (my full review is here), and they're the power stations in my hurricane kit.

The headline deal is the brand-new DELTA 3000 Gen4 at $1,299 (down from $1,699), the home backup unit that keeps a fridge running for up to 58 hours. The ultra-compact RIVER 260 Gen4 and 520 Gen4, which I covered in my EcoFlow RIVER Gen4 launch piece, open for pre-sale on November 24.

Deal dates: now through Dec 7.

Home gym and recovery deals

Chirp Contour Decompression Table ($549.99, was $609.98)

Shop at Chirp

The Contour (review here) is my favorite way to relax before bed: spinal traction, rolling massage, and heat in one table that calibrates its rollers to your height. Unlike an inversion table you stay flat, so there's no dizziness, and I always walk away with genuine relief in my back.

It's $60 off at gochirp.com right now, and Chirp's prices tend to drop further over Black Friday weekend, so we'll update this entry if they do. While you're there, the Relief Wheel Pro ($89.99) and Chirp Contrast ($169.99) are the two Chirp picks on my gift lists this year.

Deal dates: live now (price checked Nov 11).

Tonal 2 ($3,295, was $4,295)

Shop at Tonal

The biggest deal on this page, in every sense. Tonal's Holiday Sale takes $1,000 off the Tonal 2 from November 10 to 25, and the sale price applies automatically through my link, no code needed. After more than a million pounds lifted across both generations, I can say it confidently: Tonal 2 (review here) is the best at-home strength training experience available today.

Order in this window and delivery and installation should land before the holidays, which means seven weeks of training banked before the January crowd even starts. My Tonal Black Friday deal breakdown has the honest first-year math, including the $59.95/month membership.

Deal dates: Nov 10 to 25. We'll update this entry if Tonal's offer changes through Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

Wellness and self-care deals

HygieneLab (20% off with code BF20, bundles up to 55% off)

Shop at HygieneLab

Use code BF20 for 20% off your order at HygieneLab, through December 1.

HygieneLab makes the clean men's hygiene lineup (body wash, deodorant, and the rest) that earned a solid thumbs-up in my 30-day review. It's sold only at hygienelab.com, so this sale is the one time of year to stock up.

The Holiday Sale runs from November 11 with 20% off sitewide using code BF20, free US shipping, and the bundles discounted up to 55% off, which is the better route if you're buying the full routine.

ARMRA Colostrum (30% off now with our code, Black Friday extras from Nov 25)

Shop at ARMRA

Use code TRAIL30 for 30% off your order at ARMRA.

ARMRA (review here) is the physician-founded colostrum brand whose sourcing, processing, and testing are best-in-class, and the one supplement where I found that dose decides everything. The good news is you don't have to wait for Black Friday: our reader code already takes 30% off, bringing the 120-serving jar from $119.99 to about $84.

ARMRA's own Black Friday sale runs November 25 to 30 with 30% off new subscriptions and 20% off jars and bundles, and on Cyber Monday (November 30) orders over $120 get a free Whirl mixer. Sale pricing and codes typically don't stack, so use whichever gets you the better total on the day.

Trail & Kale reader codes that work all season

Not every brand runs a Black Friday sale, but these partner codes work right now on gear we've tested, and several of them beat the typical Black Friday discount. One caveat: codes almost never stack with a brand's own sitewide sale, so during a sale use the sale.

Mount To Coast: Use code TRAIL10 for 10% off your order at Mount To Coast
COROS: Use code Alastair for a FREE watch band when buying any COROS watch

Black Friday 2026 FAQs

When is Black Friday 2026?

Black Friday is Friday, November 27, 2026, the day after Thanksgiving, and Cyber Monday is November 30. In practice the sales start much earlier: Tonal, PAKA, EcoFlow, and 5.11 are already live, most outdoor brands launch between November 17 and 23, and many offers run into the first week of December.

Is Black Friday or Cyber Monday better for running and outdoor gear?

For most brands the price is the same across the whole weekend, so buy when your size and color are in stock rather than waiting. Cyber Monday is worth holding out for when a brand adds something on the day, like Goal Zero's free lantern, Darn Tough's free coffee, or 5.11's extra 40% off clearance.

Almost never. Brands switch off code stacking during sitewide sales, which is why we drop the code and link straight to the sale (Tonal is the clearest example). Outside of a brand's sale window, our reader codes above are often the best discount available.

Are there Black Friday deals on trail running shoes?

Not yet from the brands we trust, but they usually arrive in the final week. Until then, code TRAIL10 at Altra and Mount To Coast is the best live discount on shoes from my best trail running shoes guide, and we'll add shoe deals here as they go live.

How do you pick the deals on this page?

Every product here has been tested by us and would make our recommendation lists at full price. We skip the brands we haven't used, however big the discount, and we list the dates each sale runs so nothing here is a surprise at checkout.

Deals change fast this time of year, so check back often; this page is updated as each new sale goes live right through Cyber Monday. And if you're shopping for someone else, my best gifts for outdoorsy people guide is the place to start.
