Presidents’ Day might not be as known for its deals like Thanksgiving, Memorial Day, or Labor Day are, but it’s actually an underrated time to score some savings. Whether you’re looking for discounted ski and snowboard equipment to make the most of winter, or you’re shopping for camping, surfing, or biking gear to get prepped for spring and summer, you’ll find heavy discounts across gear categories this holiday weekend.

But where should you look? To help you narrow in on noteworthy bargains, our gear team parsed through hundreds of sales. Below, we’ve rounded up some stand-out deals on beloved products you don’t want to miss, from REI, Backcountry, Oakley, Evo, and other retailers.

Stio Men’s Figment Jacket for $349 ($499)

Stio’s supersized Winter Sale is on now, with outerwear up to 40% off. It’s Figment hardshell jacket is a highlight of the Jackson-based brand’s ski line, and you can currently save $150 on this piece. And if Mother Nature does hit you with a barrage of powder on the hill—the Figment can hang. The jacket is a consummate crusher in any weather thanks to Stio’s tester-approved, highly waterproof PeakProof membrane and hard-wearing face fabric. It also gets some style points, too!

Patagonia Men’s Stretch Hydropeak 18-inch Boardshorts from $17+ ($75)

Patagonia’s Winter Sale is still happening, but some of its warm-weather clothing is also discounted at Backcountry. If you’re gearing up for a tropical surf trip or some local water activities, Patagonia’s Hydropeak 18-inch boardshorts have you covered—literally. The fabric is a lightweight yet stretchy blend of durable polyester and spandex that’s water-resistant and moisture-wicking. We’ve tested and recommended them a number of times in the past few years. Plus, they’re super comfortable all day long with a fused waistband and back pocket. Certain sizes and styles are currently slashed by up to 75%.

Backcountry Cottonwoods Women’s Gore-Tex Shell Jacket from $314+ ($449)

Backcountry’s in-house brand is often our go-to recommendation when skiers and boarders are looking for Gore-Tex outerwear at a relatively reasonable price. That’s especially true now, as the women’s Cottonwoods kit is now up to 30% off. This technical shell has a freeride-friendly fit and is available in three colors. It’s also designed with a waterproof and breathable Gore-Tex two-layer construction with a rugged, recycled face fabric, and all the pockets and accouterments a resort ripper could want.

Backcountry Cottonwoods Women’s Gore-Tex Shell Bib Pant for $239 ($399)

Mismatching outerwear is so 2017. Get the whole ensemble with these Backcountry Cottonwoods Gore-Tex Bib Pants. They’re crafted from the same tough, weatherproof, Gore-Tex two-layer alpine armor as the Cottonwood jacket, offering stellar protection on powder days. They also have an articulated fit for an unimpeded range of motion and a drop seat for stress-free bathroom breaks in the lodge (or in the backcountry).

Oakley RSLV Sunglasses for $185 ($231)

If you like to go fast—and save money while doing it—Oakley’s RSLV sunnies are worth ogling. (Oakley often makes some of our favorite sunglasses.) Currently on sale for 20% off, these sport-friendly shades were designed to maximize coverage as well as your peripheral view. The wrapping lenses also have Oakley’s Prizm technology, created to enhance colors and contrast, helping wearers see more details. We particularly like the grippy contact points at the nose and ears for a reliable, secure fit, no matter if you’re railing singletrack or hop-turning down a technical couloir.

Patagonia Black Hole Wheeled Duffel 100L for $335 ($415)

We’ve said it once, we’ve said it a thousand times: we’re big fans of Patagonia’s Black Hole line around here. This, in particular, is Patagonia’s biggest wheeled Black Hole Duffel. It has the same adventure-ready, weather-resistant, TPU-laminated polyester ripstop as the standard duffels, but it’s less back-breaking in transit thanks to large, smooth-rolling wheels and a strong, telescoping handle set into an internal frame. If you’re a world traveler who appreciates both portability and durability, this roller gives you the best of both worlds.

Oakley Line Miner Snow Goggles for $68 ($136)

If you want to save money on ski goggles, opt for a cylindrical lens (they’re cheaper than their more complicated and curved spherical or toric counterparts). You can also keep the price tag more palatable if you avoid goggles that have interchangeable lens systems. Although the Oakley Line Miner doesn’t come with a spare lens, and there’s no quick-and-easy interchangeable lens technology at play, the lenses are replaceable (but you wouldn’t want to do it on the lift.) These Oakleys are some of the Best Goggles Under $100. They’re simple, stylish, and still offer top-notch optics on the slopes thanks to contrast-augmenting Prizm lens technology. Now slashed down to $68, they’re an absolute bargain.

Chaco Men’s Lowdown Sandals for $30 ($70)—With Code TREATYOURSELF

If you could use a new pair of sandals, there’s no better time to treat yourself to a pair of Chacos (We’ve written an entire article about them.) Use the code TREATYOURSELF to nab an extra 20% off at checkout. That code brings these already on-sale Men’s Lowdown Sandals to more than half off. They’re almost half the weight of most of Chaco’s standard sandal options, too, making them a great pick for travelers who appreciate lighter, more streamlined footwear.

Smith I/O Mag XL Goggles for $120 ($275)

If you need XL goggles—and want an XL discount—these frames have your name on ‘em. This is an oversized iteration of Smith’s cult-classic, spherical I/O, which is consistently rated as one of the best goggles on the market, and you can save $125 off retail right now. Each goggle has an easy and secure lens interchangeability system that combines magnets and locking mechanisms and comes with both a low-light and sunny lens. Of course, those lenses boast Smith’s clarity-boosting, lightwave-filtering ChromaPop technology for excellent optics on the hill.
