Garmin

Garmin Fenix 5
The Fenix 5 is designed not only for traditional wrist-tracking sports, but also for the nontraditional (golf, skiing, stand-up paddle boarding, etc.). It’s also packed with both GPS and GLONASS satellite reception. All that power normally comes at a price. But today is not a normal day, because it’s $150 off (the lowest price we’ve ever seen by $50).

BioLite

BioLite Bike Commuter Kit
As part of Bike to Work Month, BioLite’s offering a limited edition kit with a 330 lumen headlamp (featuring red night vision and white strobe), a PowerLight Mini, reflective bike cuffs and a stuff sack, all for under $90 (normally $111).

511 Tactical

5.11 Tactical
Starting with their first product — pants that the FBI training academy adopted as their training pants of choice — 5.11’s MO has been making “purpose-built gear.” So expect rugged, often heat- and water-resistant wears that are approved and used by assorted public safety professionals. Most of their gear this week is 20% off.
