Save 64%: If you’re in need of a new pair of everyday sneakers, head over to Nordstrom Rack today. Currently, you can save 64 percent on a pair of black Converse Chuck Taylor All Stars — that means the classic style costs just $25. If you want a pair, act fast because they’ll sell out quickly. — John Zientek grey_placeholder

Marathon Military Watches
Save 20%: Marathon is a Canadian company making some badass military watches, many of which have seen action with Canadian, U.S. and other armed forces over the years. Right now three of their watches are on sale on Huckberry, including the Medium Divers Quartz (TSAR) in 36mm; the General Purpose Quartz in 39mm; and the Search and Rescue Medium Diver’s Automatic (GSAR) in 36mm. If you’re looking for a medium-sized dive watch, both the quartz and automatic models are serious tools and highly comfortable, and if a simple field watch will do the trick, the General Purpose Quartz is all you need. — Oren Hartov grey_placeholder

Ray-Ban Wayfarer Sunglasses
Save 55%: In the world of sunglasses, it doesn’t get much more iconic than a pair of Ray-Ban Wayfarers. First released in 1956, the design has hardly changed in over half a century. If you’ve been wanting the style, but the list price is more than you want to spend, Nordstrom Rack has you covered; you can get a pair of $178 Wayfarers in either black or Havana for just $80. What’s more, these Italian-made shades also come with polarized lenses to protect your eyes all summer long — hard to beat that. — John Zientek

Winston Online Privacy Device
16% Off: It is no secret at this point that anything we search, click on, or post can be collected, tracked, stored and used by tech companies, advertising agencies and (conspiracy theories aside) the government. Ad blockers and incognito mode do virtually nothing to protect your privacy. To help give you peace of mind — and keep your data private — try the new Winston Online Privacy Device. A VPN (Virtual Private Network) alternative, Winston is a small minimalist box that is plugged-in between your modem and router that shields all the information passing through your home or office network. It does this by scrambling your information between different locations, obscuring its point of origin and giving you the protection you need. Winston also blocks over 90,000different advertising and tracking sites helping to declutter your online experience as well. You can grab a Winston from its Kickstarter page below. — Gear Patrol


Dainese Stripes D1 Perforated Leather Jacket
Save 50%: Dainese has been protecting riders on the street, on the track and in the dirt since the 1970s. It’s safe to say, then, that the brand knows a thing or two about style and performance, and the Stripes D1 Perforated Leather Jacket — marked down by 50% at Rezvilla right now — is a prime example of what they can do. — Bryan Campbell

L.L. Bean x Flowfold Crossbody Tote Sale
Save 20%: The minimalist L.L. Bean x Flowfold’s Crossbody Tote has earned its place as one of our favorite bags — even outshining our love for the perfect backpack, and it’s 20 percent off today. Flowfold and L.L. Bean, two Maine-based companies, teamed up to design this commuter bag. We love the waterproof exterior, laptop sleeve, open main compartment and water bottle holder — everything you need and nothing you don’t. Right now, you can save up to 20 percent off your entire order at L.L. Bean — just in time for the Fourth of July, just enter code JULY4 at checkout. — Meg Lappe grey_placeholder

Jabra Elite 65e Noise-Canceling In-Ear Headphones
Save $160: The Jabra Elite 65e headset is arguably the best value proposition for anybody who wants in-ear headphones with active noise cancellation. Their nearest rival is the Bose QuietComfort 30, which costs $299, and that’s $99 more than the Jabra Elite 65e usually go for. — Tucker Bowe

Bodum 8-Cup French Press
Save 20%: Bodum doesn’t claim to make the best French press, the most innovative French press or the prettiest French press. Instead, the brand that’s come to dominate the French press game makes stable presses that aren’t too expensive. Today on Amazon, its 8-cup press is marked to an all-time low price of $24. For best results, use coarsely ground coffee about brew with water between 195 and 204 degrees. — Will Price grey_placeholder

Martin Acoustic Guitars
Save up to 30%: Now through July 4th, you can save up to 30 percent on a few great Martin acoustic guitars at Guitar Center. For the 4th of July Sale, score discounts on classic instruments like the D-18, the D-28, the OMC and more. If you’ve been eyeing one of these iconic American-made acoustics for years, this is your chance to take on home. — John Zientek grey_placeholder

iPhone 7 (Unlocked, Refurbished)
Save $184: Break your iPhone and don’t want to spend big on a new one? No problem. You can get pretty good on a slightly older model. For example, eBay is selling unlocked iPhone 7s for under $200 (here). It’s a manufacturer refurbished model, granted, but if you have any issues eBay has a “free 30 day return” policy. — Tucker Bowe

La Thiers Manche Bouleau de Nlande folding knife
Save $30: Those who know, know that the French hamlet of Thiers is a hotbed of topnotch knifemaking. This release from renowned 150-year-old blade fashioner Au Sabot is, quite literally, a shining example. Notable features of the Manche Bouleau de Nlande include a sturdy 3.5-inch carbon blade, a beautiful birch handle and an inset corkscrew for opening wine (as Frenchmen are wont to do). Each knife is made by hand in Le Thiers, France. Get one now from Huckberry at a deep discount. — Steve Mazzucchi
