Table of Contents
Black Friday starts in less than 24 hours. But as in years past, plenty of deals started rolling in, starting in early November. You may not think of the Black Friday season as a time to grab outdoor gear, but you'd be surprised how many big price drops we're already seeing on everything from portable power stations and outdoor speakers to coolers and hydration essentials.
Whether you want to gear up for cold weather adventures, stock up for next spring, or grab some holiday gifts for great prices, 'tis the season to score outdoor deals. We'll be tracking all of the best outdoor deals below as we get closer to Black Friday and update the list with any new price drops.
Plus, we're seeing some popular favorites get the real deal treatment — like LifeStraw personal water filters, Coleman tents and camping gear, and action cameras from DJI and GoPro. Be sure to check back as we get deeper into the holiday season and follow along with Mashable's coverage of every category in our Black Friday hub.
Best Black Friday outdoor deal
Why we like it
A solid mid-range power station, the small and mighty Explorer 2000 v2 is lightweight enough (under 40 pounds) to carry with you on camping trips, boating, tailgating, and other outdoor adventures. It's also equipped with 2,042Wh capacity, which makes it powerful enough to serve as a home battery backup in emergencies as well. That's enough power to keep your fridge running for over a day, heat up a meal in the microwave, and brew plenty of cups of coffee. It packs three AC outlets, one USB-A port, and two USB-C ports, as well as a built-in light and super-charge emergency mode on board for a variety of needs. With $800 off, it's down to its best price on record during Black Friday.
Best outdoor speaker deal
Why we like it
A quality Bluetooth speaker makes a great companion in the great outdoors and the JBL Charge 6 is our favorite. It's powerful enough to be used for an outdoor party, but still lightweight enough at just 2 pounds to tote around. It even comes with a handy removable strap for ultra portability. Plus, as its name suggests, it can charge other devices via USB-C. We don't love that it's $20 more than its predecessor at $199.95, but this Black Friday deal drops it to a more palatable $129.95 at both Amazon and Best Buy.
Best electric cooler deal
Why we like it
Read Mashable's full review of the Anker Solix EverFrost 2 electric cooler.
Instead of dealing with the hassle of melting ice, upgrading your outdoor adventures with an electric cooler is one of the most convenient luxuries. The powerful Anker Solix EverFrost 2 electric cooler is easy use and transport, and you can set the temperature as a freezer or refrigerator. Not only will the cooler keep your foods perfectly chilled for days, the battery that powers up the electric cooler can also recharge your phone at the campground.
