Hit up These Memorial Day Sales for Awesome Deals

For some of us, the combination of sheltering-in-place and warmer summer months means one thing: We’re going to be grilling a LOT more than usual. Weber’s Genesis II series of propane grills looks to make that easy, with a broad surface (513 square inches), burners that can put out 39,000 BTUs, and an auto-on light for grilling at night. (Genius!) Through May 31, BBQGuys.com is offering up to $260 off Genesis II models of many varieties.

If you’ve already got the grill (or you don’t like propane), and you need even more excuse for a (social-distancing) cookout, consider this fine kamado-style Broil King Keg 5000 smoker—made not with ceramic, which can crack, but with steel. It gets high marks for heat control and easy of cleaning, it’s compatible with lots of Big Green Egg accessories, and Amazon’s selling it for $90 off.

Balance neutral outdoor furniture with this bold woven chair, design by French-inspired brand Clare V—marked down by almost $250! It’s also the perfect lounge chair for taking Zoom calls. (On top of that, Anthropologie is offering an additional 25% off already marked down home & furniture.)

Lulu & Georgia’s Memorial Day Sale offers 15–25% off, depending on how much you order. We love their wide slate of stylish rugs, but the Sarah Sherman Samuel collection is a major favorite, especially this “Arches,” which layers textured arches with a singular color for a modern design.

Osprey has dozens of bags on sale at serious discounts, but given the kind of day hikes we’ve been going on, we’re partial to the Talon 22, which is durable, well-ventilated, $30 off, and just the right size for temporary escapes from what passes for the real world lately.

Cotopaxi’s colorways for the lightweight, unisex Teca Mira shell hark back to the bold, occasionally weird hues of the 1980s, and we kinda like it (especially at $20 off)! Lots more to choose from, too, in their broader Memorial Day sale (use code MEMORIAL20 for 20% off).

We’re not going to lie: There are whole days—weeks, even—that we hardly leave the house, shuffling around in slippers, sandals, slides, and bare feet. But on those days when we want to be extra-cozy and maybe stroll to the edge of the yard to check the mail, there are these wonderful Howser slides—nearly $40 off!—by Keen, which is having a big sale on tons of footwear.

If you haven’t refocused attention on how you’re sleeping, it’s high time you turned your fatigued mind to improving your summer slumber. Through May, Avocado Green is taking $200 off its signature mattresses ($250 if you’re a worker on the front lines of dealing with this pandemic), $150 off bed frames, or—if pillows are your thing—free pillows.

Hard to get more classic than Columbia’s Newton Ridge women’s hiking boot: sturdy, waterproof, beloved—and 10 bucks off.

Let’s keep it brief: Big sales on lots of brands we all love, at Backcountry.com.
