I’ve already found some deals on some seriously good hiking gear we’ve tested ourselves. Like 30% off Mountain Hardwear’s Stretchdown Hoody (the previous version), $20 off our top new hiking boots of 2026, and $100 savings on one of the top Garmin outdoor watches.

Stay tuned to this page as we’ll be updating it regularly with the best trail-tested savings we find throughout this fall’s Prime Day.

HIKING APPAREL DEALS

Smartwool Intraknit Thermal Merino Base Layer

The North Face Paramount Jogger

Mountain Hardwear Stretchdown Hoody

Marmot Air Exchange UPF 50 Short Sleeve Shirt

The North Face ThermoBall Insulated Jacket

Mountain Hardwear Crater Lake Heavyweight Half Zip Hoody

Columbia Steens Mountain Half Snap Fleece Jacket

Anytime you can save 40% on The North Face’s Thermoball Jacket, you should absolutely pull the trigger. It offers a great warmth-to-weight ratio at just over 17 ounces and is versatile enough as an outer layer in more temperate weather and a mid layer on colder days.

Of course, the Mountain Hardwear Stretchdown Hoody is another great option at a 30% discount. This is the previous version of the iconic jacket, as this fall the brand launched an overhauled baffling fill solution that creates less down migration (meaning fewer cold spots). But that doesn’t mean the older version is anything less revolutionary for a down jacket that has a perfect blend of stretch to never hinder your movement.

HIKING FOOTWEAR DEALS

Oboz Katabatic RT Mid GTX

Nortiv 8 DualStride Armadillo FieldLite

Merrell Moab 3

Arc’teryx Norvan LD 4

Whether you subscribe to hiking shoes, hiking boots, trail shoes, or all of the above, fall is a good time to reassess your footwear rotation. One of the top-tested boots for us this year is the Oboz Katabatic RT Mid GTX. It’s only a slight $20 discount, but you’re getting a blend of those three styles of hiking footwear, pretty technical materials (with a waterproof build), and a lightweight package at just 16.2 ounces. All that’s to say it took home an MH Outdoor Award this summer.

LifeStraw Personal Filter

Garmin Fēnix 8 Pro

Osprey Talon 44L

Teton Sports Oasis Hydration Backpack

When it comes to hiking packs, Osprey is hard to beat. While the Talon 44-liter is our top pick for multiday trekking. It’s a great all-in-one bag for those not looking to purchase multiple hiking packs, and the slim profile means it’s not too overbearing for just a weekend trip even. Our best heavy-duty hydration pack is also 10% off, the Garmin Fēnix 8 Pro has a $100 discount (thanks to the 9 having just been released), and our budget headlamp is even more affordable at under $50.

The Prime Day savings are just ramping up, so stick to this page as we’ll be making sure to update it frequently with our top-tested hiking gear that’s discounted. Happy hiking.
