Black Friday DEALS - Backcountry & MORE!
More Humble Running Top Picks - 20-30% OFF!
I’ve compiled more awesome deals! This is not a sponsored post. It is a compilation of shoes and gear that I have personally tested and reviewed, which are available at Backcountry.com and directly through brand sites.
The Backcountry Holiday Sale is going on now through December 2. Discounts are for members - but their Summit Club membership tier is free. All prices listed here are available with the free membership.
Raide UL 1L Running Belt - $95
If you want the absolute lightest, most form-fitting, no bounce running belt - it’s hard to top the new Raide UL 1L. Yes, UL does stand for Ultra Light! A race day option, and I’d say even a top pick for road marathons - it’s probably best to be carrying your own fuel on race days.
Raide LF 2L Running Belt - $119
But if you had to choose one or the other, I would go with the 2L. You get a little bit more capacity, yes, some more bulk, but it’s easier to get in an out of and more versatile of course with that extra liter of space. This one is more suitable for mountain adventures (see below). Same game changing zero bounce fit.
Patagonia Capilene Cool Lightweight Shirt - $39
Easy, go-to, lightweight shirt. I have many. (See previous video, and the one below, and many others!)
Merrell MTL Adapt Matryx - $152
I recently busted this one out again for some uphill running. Almost forgot how good a shoe it is.. nah.. I knew it was good!
The North Face Vectiv Enduris 4 - $128
Have to include this one again as it’s such a stellar deal at $128. Just in case Backcountry.com works better for you.
Injinji Trail Midweight Crew CoolMax Sock - $12.75
Fall/Winter is a great time for a roomy toebox and an Injinji toesock.. your feet stay warmer when they have room to spread out! GREAT deal/price on a CoolMax option here, check out their Merino wool models too.
Nike Zegama 2 - $144
Not a personal favorite for me, but I know many runners enjoy that DEEP, soft ZoomX cushioning. If you’re a heel striker especially, you can mash out some big, comfy miles in these.
CRAFT - 25% off Full Priced Apparel and Shoes - use code “BF25OFF”
Looks like this is applicable for multiple items! Craft has some pretty sweet looking apparel too..
Nordlite Ultra Pro - $150!
Xplor Pro - $127.50 !
Superfeet - 25% off sitewide / free shipping 11/13 - 12/3
Unfortunately this does not apply to the Run Pacer Elite, but of course Superfeet has many other insole options. If you’re still looking for a fun runner’s gift, I mentioned this in my review - the Run Pacer Elite could be a fun pick. The joy of the holidays - making every shoe a carbon fiber super shoe!
Keen Seek - $138.75 (25% Off)
Try out a new natural running model - my favorite colorway here. Keen is coming in hot - the Seek is great and super versatile, running, travel, casual, you name it! I am currently testing the Roam model too..
UltrAspire Black Friday Specials
Basham Race Vest - $40
That price is just crazy.. I love this vest for hot weather runs where you just need to carry a little bit of fluids and perhaps you need some easily accessible front pockets. I ran a 50 mile race in this vest! Also cold weather too!
Spry 4.0 - $37
Again, an INSANE price here. I use this for hot weather runs when I want to carry more fluids - I use a bladder with this one, but you can do front flasks too. Slightly more body coverage than the Basham, but also more capacity.
Creepers - The Biggest Release Ever
More toe socks! Super soft - from Creepers. Some kind of limited edition releases coming out on Black Friday. Keep an eye out for this one.
