As someone who strives to spend every minute of their weekends outside, the gear section is the first place I look when I hear there’s a big sale happening. This spring, I’m finally retiring an old wind-battered backpacking tent and replacing lost hiking socks. You might want to consider swapping out some gear during Amazon’s Big Spring Sale, which is impeccably timed at the start of hiking and camping season. The deals are widespread, with up to 63 percent off everything from best-selling waterproof boots to three-season sleeping bags, packable rain jackets to large-capacity backpacks fit for multi-day hikes. 

Whether you’re preparing for a big national park adventure this year or just aiming to spend more time on trails close to home, these are the best Amazon Big Spring Sale deals for you to shop, happening now through March 31.

While there are dozens of deals worth checking out, these are the top 10 that can’t be missed, including Skysper’s 15-liter Daypack, a sleeper hit with its comfy straps and designated water bladder pouch. There’s also the popular LifeStraw water filtration device which is both a cool gadget and a potential life-saving item, and it’s on sale for $17. Columbia’s discontinued Women’s Newton Ridge Waterproof Hiking Boots are half off while supplies last, in addition to the brand’s always-satisfactory hiking socks. If you’re planning a camping trip, the now-$70 Tenlike Portable Power Station is good to have on hand, and the Powerlix Ultralight Inflatable Sleeping Pad is practically essential.

Keep in mind that the best deals during this sale will be available to Prime members — you can sign up for a 30-day free trial to take advantage of these low prices.

Best Hiking Gear Deals

No matter how long the trail is or how many times you’ve hiked it, you should always come prepared with the basics: a backpack, a water vessel, and a sturdy set of hiking poles. For quick trips, a small bag like the Skysper 15-liter Backpack or even the Inoxto 1.5-liter Hydration Vest might provide plenty of room. For anything over five days, you’ll need a bigger option, like Loowoko’s 50-liter Hiking Pack, and an ultralight hiking stick to keep the load as light as possible. The highly-rated A Alafen Collapsible Hiking Pole is a smart pick that folds up to about 13 inches and weighs only 11 ounces.

• Loowoko 50L Hiking Backpack, $50 (originally $65)
• Waterfly Crossbody Sling Backpack, $21 (originally $35)
• TrailBuddy Trekking Poles, $30 (originally $40)
• Skysper 15-liter Daypack, $25 (originally $41)
• A Alafen Collapsible Ultralight Hiking Pole, $18 (originally $27)
• Inoxto 1.5-liter Hydration Vest, $22 (originally $27)
• Iron Flask 32-ounce Stainless Steel Water Bottle, $17 (originally $27)

Waterfly Crossbody Sling Backpack

Amazon

$35 $21 at Amazon

This hiking backpack is a top seller, loved by hikers who are often surprised by how much fits into its small size — pack a full hydration bladder or a pair of water shoes for cooling off your feet in the creek mid-hike. During the Big Spring Sale, you can get 40 percent off the original price.

TrailBuddy Trekking Poles

Amazon

$40 $30 at Amazon

For day hikes and other times when you can afford to bring along two hiking poles, not just one, these TrailBuddy sticks will keep you safe and upright on all sorts of terrain. They fold up to fit neatly inside a day pack and can be adjusted to your height for optimal functionality and comfort.

Best Hiking Accessory Deals

Amazon

When you’re fully stocked on the basics, then it’s time to consider adding some extras to your gear collection for more comfort and ease out on the trail. Amazon is offering one of its most-loved headlamps for less than half its original price as well as a LifeStraw Solo Personal Water Filter for only $17. Other highlights of the sale include the most comfortable and lightweight backpacking chair for $80, a Lenski Beanie designed with built-in headphones and an LED light, and a pack of Frelaxy Dry Bags that you’ll be so glad you brought when you’re several miles in and it starts to sprinkle. 

• Zooron Sun Hat, $7 (originally $12)
• Slonik Headlamp, $21 (originally $45)

• Cliq Compact Foldable Backpacking Camp Chair, $80 (originally $130)

Slonik Headlamp

Amazon

$45 $21 at Amazon

You might think any headlamp will do, right? But with almost 13,000 five-star ratings and 1,000 purchases every month from Amazon, this Slonik headlamp seems special. Without getting into the nitty gritty of lumens and milliamp hours, just know that it’s top-rated for brightness, battery life, and durability. 

LifeStraw Peak Series Solo Personal Water Filter

Amazon

$30 $17 at Amazon

There’s something so idyllic about stopping to sip water straight from the source, but you’re going to want a LifeStraw to make sure that H2O doesn’t contain bacteria, parasites, or microplastics. Carrying this personal filter is also so much lighter than packing tons of water on your back.

Best Women’s Hiking Shoes and Clothes Deals

Amazon

Really good hiking clothes will last you many seasons, but they will inevitably get torn, stained, scuffed, and even lost in the chaos of a trip. If it’s time to retire your current go-to joggers, these cargo pants from Libin have rave reviews from other hikers, and you can save $14 on them right now. Also, the Big Spring Sale includes a can’t-miss deal on Columbia’s classic Newton Ridge Hiking Boots — they’re discontinued, so do not pass it up. Other gems include an Outdoor Ventures Rain Jacket that comes with its own compact and packable pouch, thermal base layers from Nooyme that are half off, and a $10 Hugoome Crop Top that reviewers compare to a Free People favorite.

Columbia Newton Ridge Waterproof Hiking Boots

Amazon

$90 $43 at Amazon

Columbia no longer makes these classic mountaineering-style boots, but not because of bad reviews. In fact, countless people say they’re the best they’ve ever worn. There are still plenty of sizes available, and they’re on sale for just $43 (compared to the original $90).

Libin Cargo Joggers

Amazon

$44 $30 at Amazon

A reviewer said they wore these joggers “for a seven-mile hike at Devil’s Lake,” and then jumped into the lake with them on; they were “literally dry within 20 minutes.” Others have tested them in the jungle, in snow, and while hiking the New Zealand bush with glowing results.

Best Men’s Hiking Shoes and Clothes Deals

Amazon

In the men’s section, we found hiking shirts and pants under $40, plus over $70 off these Ecco Ankle Boots. If you’re more interested in a sneaker-style shoe, the half-price Adidas Terrex AX4 style might be for you. There’s also the Eddie Bauer Cloud Cap Rain Jacket to consider, which is 52 percent off and won’t take up much space in your day pack, since it folds up into a built-in six-by-six-inch pocket. Throw a four-pack of Columbia Crew Socks in your cart for $13 before checking out and you’ll be fully prepped.

Eddie Bauer Cloud Cap Rain Jacket

Amazon

$99 $48 at Amazon

The packable Cloud Cap Rain Jacket is put to the ultimate test in the perpetually wet Pacific Northwest — both by PNW reviewers and the Seattle-based brand itself. Thanks to the proprietary StormRepel DWR finish, you can literally wipe away water droplets and continue on your hike.

Best Camping Tent Deals

Amazon

A tent is one of those big-ticket items you want to get right; with luck, you’ll be using it for many years. The Big Spring Sale features some of Amazon shoppers’ favorites for car camping, truck camping, backpacking, and cramming your entire extended family into one tent. The Clostnature Polaris is an ultralight option for multi-day hikes, while the Campros CP 8-person Tent is large and spacious with two bedrooms. Want to sleep in the back of your SUV and still wake up in privacy? The UNP 6-person SUV Tailgate Tent turns the cargo area into a polyester mansion.

Amazon

$90 $60 at Amazon

Perfect for a regular camping trip with one other person, this Coleman tent takes just five minutes to set up, according to the brand.

Joytutus Pickup Truck Tent With Removable Awning

Amazon

$190 $160 at Amazon

Sleep (more) comfortably in the back of your pickup with this tent that fits snugly inside a truck bed. It’s the top-seller of its kind at Amazon, with over 1,500 shoppers giving it a perfect rating. It even comes with a removable awning to protect the doorway from sun and rain.

Best Camping Bedding Deals

Amazon

It’s tough to get a comfortable sleep in nature, but these bedding deals should help. First, lay out a quality sleeping pad like this one from Powerlix that pumps up to a thickness of two inches. Then, select the appropriate sleeping bag for the season — three-season bags by Swtmerry and MalloMe are on sale each for about $25 — and add a Memory Foam Camping Pillow to the setup. (If you don’t want to wake up with debilitating neck pain, the pillow is very important.)

• Powerlix Ultralight Inflatable Sleeping Pad, $29 (originally $40)
• Swtmerry 3-season Sleeping Bag, $23 (originally $27)

Swtmerry 3-season Sleeping Bag

Amazon

$27 $23 at Amazon

On sale for less than $20 right now, this three-season sleeping bag is rated for 41 to 77 degrees. Campers say it’s kept them cool on hot nights and warm when it’s chilly, so you should be fine using it from spring through fall.
