Best Amazon Prime Day Deals for Outdoor Adventurers

    If you love to hike, camp, trail run, kayak and do so much more in the outdoors, Amazon's 2023 Prime Day deals have something great to offer you

    An Amazon Prime subscription has been a game-changer for many of us who work and play in the outdoor space — we can get two-day shipping on many amazing products to just about any part of the U.S. or Canada. And probably the best day to check out the site is during the annual Amazon Prime Day deal event, which is often not limited to a single day. 

    The 2023 Prime Day event is taking place July 11 and 12.

    This shopping holiday has grown year after year, and for good reason: You can expect discounts on more than 2 million products, and the sales during these two days are usually better than Black Friday deals. If you don’t have a Amazon Prime membership, you can get one here.

    Now that Prime Day has arrived, we’re highlighting some of the best Prime Day deals that are perfect for all of us who enjoy adventure and nature. Because Amazon will be rolling out some of its deals gradually (and other deals called Lighting Deals are only available for a small time frame), not all of the event’s deals are in place immediately. Be sure to check back to this page often! 

    Here are five of our picks for the best 2023 Amazon Prime Day deals for outdoor enthusiasts and adventurers (deals are subject to change):

    1. 39% OFF -- CamelBak 85-Ounce Bike Hydration Pack
