Amazon Prime Day 2024 is officially live with hundreds of thousands of deals on everything from power washers to carry-on luggage and even iconic pocket knives.
Men's Journal has been paying close attention to this year's Prime Day deals, and what we've noticed is that many of the best deals are on camping gear, bestselling grooming products, home appliances, and select Apple devices. There are also thousands of substantial discounts on men's shoes from Asics, Columbia, Cole Haan, and many other top-selling brands. After carefully considering the Prime Day deals in front of us, MJ found 14 in particular that are absolutely worth shopping for before the savings disappear.
Gerber makes some of the most highly-sought after pocket knives for camping and everyday use, and during Prime Day 2024, one of its best—the Paraframe Serrated Edge—is over 50% off. This blade is the epitome of simple yet effective and boasts the rank of the No. 1 bestselling pocket knife on Amazon. It's made from durable stainless steel and has a sturdy pocket clip for easy carrying. Other Gerber knives, like the Paraframe Mini, are also on sale, but this one offers the best bang for your buck.
What Shoppers Are Saying: "Can’t go wrong with this Gerber. Easy to open and close with one hand. Super sharp blade. Perfect size for carry and work. The serrated blade will cut anything you put in front of it and the razor sharp tip will slice with ease.
GoPro action cameras are so, incredibly fun to play with when doing everything from fishing and cycling to vacationing with the family. They're not cheap, though, this camera alone costs $350 at full-price, which is why we're amazed to see this bundle deal for only $250. The Hero11 Black shoots crisp and detailed 5.3K video that's cinema quality and all the editing can be done right in the GoPro Quik app. It's a great little toy to play with this summer and might even turn into a lifelong hobby.
What Shoppers Are Saying: "I bought this as a gift for my fiance. He likes to take videos of when he’s driving around or when we travel. It’s easy to use and has good sound and image quality. The size is perfect for a tripod and you get your money's worth."
Though we love the Yeti Tundra Haul, which is 30% off in select colors for Prime Day, it's still not cheap. If you're looking for a better value, Igloo's 110-quart Glide cooler is the one you need to pick up. This tank of a cooler is foam insulated and can hold ice for up to five days. It's a godsend to have for hauling fish from the boat, bringing cold drinks to a party, or just as a go-to ice chest at the house. Over 3,000 of them have been purchased in the last month, and right now you can score one at 33% off to help you chill through the remainder of summer.
What Shoppers Are Saying: "I wanted a large cooler as we essentially empty a refrigerator when relocating to a summer home. It held everything. More surprising was that it keep food frozen for 36 hours no problem and probably could go another 24 as the ice bags were still full and hardly melted on arrival. The handle and portability is also remarkable."
Jack Black's Doublt-Duty Face Moisturizer is back on sale for Prime Day 2024. This Men's Journal reader favorite has SPF 20 in it to help you simultaneously protect your skin from the sun's harmful rays and replenish your skin with valuable nutrients, like Vitamins A and E, among others. Jack Black skincare rarely goes on sale, so make sure to stock up while the savings are live.
What Shoppers Are Saying: "I have a bottle of this in my gym bag and a bottle at home—it has replaced my normal daily moisturizer. It is not greasy and goes on really light and it’s nice that it has SPF protection. Also doesn’t have any overpowering scent."
Prime Day 2024 has the best Solo Stove fire pit deal we've seen since the holidays, with 30% off the brand's bestselling model—the Bonfire—plus its stand. A ton of Bonfire accessories are also on sale right now, including the heat deflector, the spark protector, and the grill top. If you've been thinking about sprucing up your patio or a section of your backyard, adding one of these is a surefire way to enhance its entertainment value.
What Shoppers Are Saying: "Love this Solo Stove, as it was supper easy to assemble and use. Zero smoke and just perfect for a cozy evening of roasting s'mores...Very light weight and comes with a good protective cover."
If you're one of the many of Amazon shoppers looking for a premium pair of over-ear headphones during the Prime Day sale, consider the Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S2e. Whereas the Apple AirPods Max is on sale for $400 and the Sony WH-1000XM4 is just $198, this pair from Bowers & Wilkins is a great happy medium and the best overall value among the three with fantastic noise cancellation and crystal clear tones that will remain comfortable for hours. We've used them and we love them. If you need something more on the affordable side, we recommend checking out the 1More Sonoflow that's just $60 during the sale.
What Shoppers Are Saying: "Have gone through lots of wireless headphones for music and calls over many years—Jabra, Sony XM5, Bose QC45, Apple AirPods. Nothing comes close if you want to balance call quality, music quality, and overall fit and finish."
Grills figure to be a huge seller during Prime Day 2024, but it's shocking to see a top seller from a brand like Weber on sale. This two-burner gas grill is a top 10 bestselling model on Amazon and features porcelain-enameled cast iron grates, a built-in thermometer, and folding side tables. It's the best compact gas grill you'll find during the sale and one that could be at risk of selling out. The three-burner model is also on sale, but the best value right now is in the former.
What Shoppers Are Saying: "Compact yet powerful…The product has performed like a champ, heats up quickly, hits a high temp, and holds it. Solid construction all around."
Spare batteries from Milwaukee and Ryobi are some of the most valuable deals on power tools during the Prime Day sale, but it's DeWalt that are offering the biggest savings. This two-pack of 5Ah batteries for the brand's 20V power tools is already half off and loaded with enough power to tackle an entire day of home renovations.
What Shoppers Are Saying: "Best battery out there…For the money, you can't go wrong. I use them daily and they have not let me down. The power level button is a lifesaver for knowing how much charge you have when packing for a day's worth of work."
Whether you're fishing, hiking, or landscaping this summer, a proper sun hoodie is a fantastic means of protection from harsh UV rays, and right now, you can pick one up for less than $20 bucks on Amazon from Northyard. This style has a cross-neck design for extra coverage, a full hood that can go over the brim of a baseball cap, and thumb holes that help keep your hands covered as well.
What Shoppers Are Saying: "This product is fabulous. Light, comfortable, and stretchy enough to function. I have been playing golf in it and it is perfect. Washes nicely. Fits great!"
A ton of portable power stations have plummeted in price now that Prime Day is live, but one of the best deals is on Bluetti's AC180. This powerful portable power station is the ideal pick for everything from a week of camping to running CPAP machines, and even for having on hand during summer outages. If you really want to stay off-grid, it's also currently on sale in a bundle with a 200W solar panel.
What Shoppers Are Saying: "The Bluetti AC180 strikes the perfect balance of features and form factor for all of my use cases. It's much more portable than the AC200 (lighter and more compact) but still has impressive power."
Those looking to pick up new running shoes during the Prime Day sale must consider Asics' Gel-Kayano 30. Now that Asics has released the 31st iteration, its predecessor has sunk in price to just $100—a steal for a durable, well-cushioned, and uber-supportive running shoe. We're anticipating sizes to sell very quickly during the sale, so grab your size while it's still available at the sale price.
What Shoppers Are Saying: "I've been running in Gel Kayanos for more than 10 years and this model is, by far, the most comfortable on impact. The way these handle impact and provide stability is unlike any previous generation."
Apple has a ton of deals to shop through during Prime Day 2024, including AirPods Pro, several iPads, and even Apple Watches. But Apple's AirTags are one of the best deals of all, and right now, you can score a four-pack for just $89. They're ideal for stashing in handbags and even inside wallets, and they also make great gifts.
What Shoppers Are Saying: "The Apple AirTag is a fantastic investment for anyone prone to misplacing items or wanting to keep an eye on their furry friends. It offers unmatched convenience and peace of mind, making it well worth the price."
If you're one of the many Americans sweltering in the summer sun right now, a portable air conditioner should be your first pick during Prime Day. Thankfully, one of Amazon's bestselling models is under $250 before the sale starts. This powerful portable AC from Midea chills rooms up to 150 square feet and comes on wheels for convenient relocation. It's also WiFi-enabled, allowing you to control it right from your phone.
What Shoppers Are Saying: "Bottom line: Completely happy, sleeping like a baby in an ice-cold bedroom (feels like a hotel)."
Columbia's top-selling Newton Ridge hiking boots start at just $50 right now and are backed by over 11,000 five-star ratings from shoppers who rave about their performance. These boots are made with a suede upper, have a gritty lugged sole, and are fully waterproof. They also have a thick midsole that'll protect your foot from sharp rocks while absorbing impact with each step.
What Shoppers Are Saying: "I just did the 5 day/5 night Salkantay trek in May to Machu Picchu. Dealt with various terrain, such as dirt, mud, rocks, and everything in between. Dealt with cold, hot, and wet weather, and this pair of shoes did not disappoint."
