And that selection includes top-tier gear we鈥檝e reviewed in our semiannual Buyer鈥檚 Guides. Here are a few premium items worth snagging with your discount.

Salewa MTN Trainer Lite Mid GTX Boot ($200)

We gave the MTN Trainer Lite Mid a Gear of the Year award in our 2020 Summer Buyer鈥檚 Guide. Testers Berne Broudy and Jakob Schiller praised its versatility. 鈥淲ith true-to-size fit and a lightweight suede and mesh build that requires zero break-in, the MTN Trainer Lite Mid is at home on mellow hikes,鈥� they wrote. 鈥淎t the same time, the supportive cuff 颅and 颅颅semi-stiff sole excel on steep, rocky climbs and descents, with an aggressively lugged outsole that grips everything from kitty-litter scree to wet boulders.鈥�

Cotopaxi Allpa Pack 42L ($220)

Contributor Janna Irons crowned the 42-liter Allpa the best travel pack in her Buyer鈥檚 Guide roundup of the best luggage. 鈥淚t held enough gear to get through four sweaty days and three cold nights in Joshua Tree National Park, and the clamshell design granted easy access to the four interior zippered compartments, which are great for separating clothes, shoes, and accessories,鈥� she wrote.

Dynafit Feline SL Trail Running Shoes ($130)

What shoe performs best on mountain trails? Buyer鈥檚 Guide testers Cory Smith and Lisa Jhung thought that distinction聽belonged to the Feline SL in 2020. 鈥淭he second iteration of Dynafit鈥檚 bestselling, performance-oriented grip master is perfectly suited to charging hard on short-to-medium-distance runs in alpine terrain,鈥� they wrote. 鈥淥ur wide-footed testers found the last a bit narrow, but everyone loved the aggressive 4.5-millimeter multidirectional lugs, which kept us at ease in rocky no-fall zones.鈥�

Fj盲llr盲ven Vardag Beanie听($26)

鈥淎 perfect beanie is the cherry on top of a cute apr猫s look,鈥� wrote senior editor Kelsey Lindsey in her Buyer鈥檚 Guide roundup of the best women鈥檚 apre虁s gear of 2021. 鈥淥ur pick is the Vardag, made out of recycled polyester with a throwback logo that adds vintage flair. Despite frequent use during testing, it never lost shape.鈥�

Grayl GeoPress Water Purifier ($90)

We featured the GeoPress in our Buyer鈥檚 Guide roundup of the best gear for self-supported bike missions. 鈥淭his two-part device purifies 24 ounces of water in seconds (four to five liters per minute) like a French press, while the inner bottle serves as water storage,鈥� explained tester Amy Jurries.

Smith I/O Mag Goggles ($270)

Winter Buyer鈥檚 Guide tester Marc Peruzzi loved the I/O Mag鈥檚 magnetic lens system, which features clips that lock the lenses in place. 鈥淯nlike a lot of ill-designed goggle tech, the clips don鈥檛 require an advanced degree to operate, and we were able to change lenses in just a few seconds,鈥� he wrote. 鈥淏est of all, there was no wind channeling or goofy lens dislocation.鈥�

Fits Ultra Light Runner No Show Socks ($16)

The plays to folks who value ground feel above all else. The thin wool-synthetic blend hugs without being overly constricting.

Spy Hunt Sunglasses ($160)

Any company can make shades with good polarized lenses, but few can keep them in place when the sweat starts to roll. That鈥檚 why we love half-rubber arms, which help the robust plastic frames stick.

Polk Boom Bit Speaker ($30)

Vuori Trail Shorts ($68)

This Southern California company is all about versatility. mid-thigh-length inseam was as appropriate for running as it was for refueling at the local brunch spot.

Run Gum Performance Gum ($22.50 for 12 packets)

Caffeine is one of the best performance enhancers a runner can use (legally, anyway). A single serving of packs the same amount of punch as eight ounces of coffee.

Tracksmith Van Cortlandt Tech Shirt ($68)

Runners burn through shirts like gel packets, but the is one worth preserving. Tracksmith slimmed the usual boxy fit for a runner鈥檚 lithe build, and the Swiss-sourced mesh is soft and breathable.

LifeStraw Steel Water Filter ($60)

FlipBelt Million Mile Light ($20)

The genius of ? There鈥檚 no battery to replace. Clip it to your belt and sliding magnets harness your kinetic energy to generate 30 lumens.

Oakley Radar Pace Sunglasses ($450)

Runners wearing trucker hats? Yeah, it鈥檚 a thing. You may have noticed Ryan Hall or Jenn Shelton rocking one. Truckers are a hell of an improvement over the alternatives. Previously, our headgear was limited to a stained cotton baseball hat or a low-profile, running-specific cap. The former quickly smelled bad, and the latter just looked dumb. So runners鈥� adoption of this particular lid鈥攐nce reserved for crusty blue-collar dudes or Brooklyn hipsters鈥攊s a good thing, not least because it injects a bit of swagger into some otherwise dorky kit. Here are our favorites.听

Blowfish Designs Signature Series ($24)

Elm Company MSMR ($24)

ASICS Fuzex Structured ($26)

The North Face聽Trail Trucker ($30)
