The 13 Best Prime Day Deals on Outdoor and Fitness Gear

Fourth of July has come and gone, but digital fireworks are still popping off thanks to the hundreds of Amazon Prime Day deals going right now. Prime Day, the online retailer’s biggest sale event of the year so far, is on from July 8-11. Yes, you read that right—while still called “Prime Day,” the event is now four days long. We suppose “Amazon Prime Short Workweek Sale” doesn’t have quite the same ring to it.

Jokes aside, now’s a fantastic time to stock up on outdoor gear, specifically for the Prime members who get exclusive access to the event. We had our gear team scrutinize the sale to bring you 14 bargains worth scooping up during the Prime Day madness. Check out the whole sale here, or keep scrolling for our top picks, including camp gear, action cameras, and more.

Biggest Prime Day Deals:

  • Best Deal: Coleman Classic Camping Stove ($130 $221)
  • Big Ticket Item: CENTR RUNR S Treadmill ($1,231 $1,599)
  • On Our Wishlist: Insta360 X4 Action Camera ($425 $500)
  • Lifesaving Gear: LifeStraw Personal Water Filter ($10 $18)

Coleman Classic 3-Burner Propane Camping Stove 

$130 ($221)

If a two-burner stove is not giving you enough room to work your magic, step up your camp stove game with this Coleman Classic. A trio of burners provides aspiring camp cooks with a 12-inch by 20-inch work area, generating up to 28,000 BTUs for high-heat cooking. Factor in the usual Coleman features—wind shields that double as side tables, push-button igniters, and bomber durability—and this discounted stove is a welcome and affordable addition to any camp cook’s kitchen setup.

LifeStraw Personal Water Filter 

$10 ($18)

We’ve relied on LifeStraw’s sip-style filters to purify water collected from questionable alpine puddles and rain forest streams for years. The microfilter membrane doesn’t just keep you from ingesting bacteria and parasites—it defends against microplastics, too. One of our favorite Amazon Prime Day deals, you can now save up to 60 percent on this potential trip-saver.

CamelBak M.U.L.E. Mountain Bike Hydration Pack 

$98 ($120)

With ample storage space and enough hydration capacity for all-day rides, the CamelBak M.U.L.E. Mountain Bike Hydration Pack is another of the top Amazon Prime Day deals we found this week. It comes equipped with a three-liter reservoir—plenty for most excursions. Even when fully loaded, a vented harness along with sternum and hip straps keep the pack locked in place on techy trails. Now on sale for under a hundred bucks, this deal caught the attention of singletrack-addicted gear team members.

Amazon Basics Camping Chair 

$25 ($32)

For the bargain-hunting camper, Amazon Basics can be a surprisingly solid play, especially if you’re not remotely concerned with factors like weight or packability. (Read: car campers can get away with the cheaper product, but we’re definitely spending the extra dough when it comes to backpacking equipment.) Case in point? This comfy, collapsible camp chair, which is normally as cheap as it gets for camp furniture. Now, though, it’s discounted 20 percent off during Prime Day.

Coleman Classic Series Insulated 100-Quart Wheeled Cooler 

$83 ($110)

No surprises here, but Coleman is another top brand for bargain-oriented campers. This insulated, 100-quart wheeled cooler keeps up to 160 cans chilled. It also retails for $110—less than a quarter of the price of premium options from Coleman’s competitors.

Coleman Triton+ 2-Burner Camp Stove

$90 ($143)

Considering we’ve seen Cold War-era Coleman camp stoves that’re still kicking, there’s a good chance this beefy, powerful camp stove will last for decades. The stove operates on standard 16-ounce propane canisters, features push-button igniters and simmer-friendly controls, and generates up to 22,000 BTUs of heat. Whether you’re just boiling water for coffee or whipping up a complex camping feast, this now-discounted stove will get the job done.

Camp Chef EX60LW Explorer 2 Camp Stove

$127 ($149)

When you’re cooking outside for big groups, Camp Chef’s EX60LW Explorer 2 is as helpful and reliable as a trusted sous chef. Collapsible legs fold out, creating an instantaneous cooking platform (no need to find a picnic table or flat-ish rock), and burners blast 30,000 BTUs each for searing and sizzling. You’ll want to invest in additional accessories, like a flat-top griddle, but at least the Camp Chef stove is on sale to make accessorizing less intimidating price-wise.

Sawyer Products Premium Permethrin Insect Repellant 

$14 ($18)

According to a 2011 University of Rhode Island Study, Permethrin treatments reduce chances of a tick bites by 73.6 times. For hikers and campers, mountain bikers and anglers, and anyone who spends time in tick-heavy wilderness zones, this one’s a no-brainer.  We’ll definitely be stocking up on this Sawyer summer essential.

Fitness Deals

Wahoo ELEMNT Bolt V2 GPS Cycling Computer

$238 ($280)

Bike nerds who are fans of data will dig the ELEMNT Bolt V2. The compact computer provides cyclists with live info like speed, distance, ride length, and more. When paired with compatible cycling sensors, it can display additional important analytics, such as RPMs, power readings, and more. The gizmo has integrated GPS functionality as well, and mounts easily to your handlebars, so you can check your route and follow directions safely and efficiently.

CENTR RUNR S Treadmill

$1,231 ($1,599)

Okay, we know this isn’t outdoor gear—it’s the definition of indoor gear. And don’t get us wrong, we prefer to run outside when possible. That said, a treadmill has a time and a place. That time might be mid-winter, after work, when it’s dark and snowy out, and thanks to Prime Day, that place might be in your home gym. Runners can save over 20 percent off on this fully featured CENTR RUNR S treadmill, which translates to hundreds of bucks.


Tech Deals

Insta360 X4 Action Camera Bundle 

$425 ($500)

Insta360’s iconic shots are everywhere these days. The action cameras have skyrocketed in popularity over the last few years, thanks largely to their 360-degree field of view (hence the name). What’s more, the top-tier X4 action cam bundle is now on sale for a hefty discount, making Prime Day the perfect excuse to try out the tech or update an older setup. Whether you’re a mountain biker or kitesurfer, a skier or snowboarder, the Insta360’s POV shots are next level.

XGIMI Halo+ Portable Projector Google TV Bundle

$639 ($799)

Perfect for backyard movie nights and off-the-beaten-path film screenings, the XGIMI Halo+ is a portable and powerful projector that brings some movie magic to your outdoor life. Now, we’re not condoning binge-watching your favorite series deep in the wilderness. No doubt, the Halo+ is best used in moderation. But it’s definitely a fun addition to your camp setup, especially if you’re exploring with little ones in tow. And not only does this travel-friendly projector cast a surprisingly sharp image, but the sound quality is excellent (courtesy of two five-watt Harman Kardon speakers), especially given the size of the projector.

Hedgehog Dryer Octopus Dryer Ionic i3 

$124 ($159)

Get ready for winter with the Scandinavian-born Octopus Dryer. The four-armed (sigh, why not eight?) dryer can heat two pairs of ski or snowboard boots to a whopping 140 degrees, drying damp gear in a matter of minutes. The dryer has multiple modes, too, including a room-temp option for more delicate footwear or heat-molded liners.
