Best deals on remote work gear during Amazon Prime Day 2022

 

 

JBL Tune 230 Headphones: $59.99 (save $40)

A word to the wise: There’s more to the Bluetooth-enabled, in-ear headphone universe than AirPods. The JBL Tune 230 Headphones put AirPods to shame on three accounts: unbeatable active noise cancellation, four mics built in to optimize audio quality on calls, and an incredible “speed charge” feature that gives you two hours playtime with just 10 minutes of charging. On a normal charge, the JBL Tune 230s last up to 40 hours, or eight hours if you have noise-canceling enabled the whole time.

What sold us on this pair as the perfect travel and remote work headphones is a setting called Ambient Aware, which dials in surrounding noise on-demand so that you don’t miss important announcements on a plane, train, or elsewhere. If you spend time working in cafes, coworking spaces, or other crowded work hotspots, there’s no better option for noise-canceling in-ear headphones than the JBL Tune 230.

Google Pixelbook Go Chromebook: $775 (save $75)

Google has made a major play at Apple’s MacBook line over the past few years, undoubtedly gunning for its reign as the preferred laptop of remote workers and digital nomads. The Google Pixelbook Go Chromebook, on sale now for $775, is its best attempt yet. The Pixelbook Go is designed for those who move about, and with a 13.3-inch screen and 128GB of memory, you get a laptop with enough space for your professional and personal life that is small enough to fit in the laptop sleeve of your travel backpack.

Nest Mesh WiFi Point – Wi-Fi extender and smart speaker: $94 (save $56)

Mesh Wi-Fi routers are ideal for remote workers because they take your existing home network and allow you to divide it up around the house. This eliminates dead zones, and can even allow you to work outside on a nice day with the same bandwidth as if you were sitting directly under your router. Google Nest is our go-to mesh router and it’s on sale right now for $94 (save $56). These routers can be set up in minutes and are smart-home enabled, meaning they can boost the productivity of devices throughout your household.

Best outdoor gear deals during Amazon Prime Day 2022

 

Solar-powered collapsible lantern and USB charger: $19.99 (save $10)

A solar-powered lantern will never not be handy — especially since it collapses to the size of a hockey puck. There are plenty of solar lanterns on the market, but we particularly like this one for two reasons: it provides up to 10 hours of light, and it doubles as a solar charger for any device via a USB port. It’s also useful in case of unexpected power outages.

Suunto 9 Baro GPS Smartwatch: $399 (save $200)

Our outdoor editor bought her first fitness tracking watch years ago on a whim, but now, she never hikes or mountain bikes without it. Being able to see your elevation, distance, and heart rate stats as you cycle up a hill or make your way on foot to a summit helps you gauge your pace, ultimately building constancy and endurance. You can also use it to track your hikes, upload hikes and follow the maps from your watch, track your sleep, and much more. The Suunto 9 Baro is an especially useful choice as it has a battery life of up to seven days, plus 80 sport modes and a barometer to accurately gauge your elevation changes (useful in nearly all mountain sports). It’s a great discount at nearly half off and a useful tech buy on Amazon Prime Day 2022, even if you only wear it while working out.

An inflatable stand-up paddleboard with backpack case: $209 (save $91)

If you’re an occasional paddleboarder who paddles mostly on flat water and calm ocean, as opposed to rivers or rapids, do yourself a favor and spend the $200 on this full paddleboard kit. It includes everything you need to get out on the water, including the board and paddle, a hand pump, an ankle leash, and a backpack carrying case to make it easy to carry on short hikes out to your favorite lake. It’s not the fanciest paddleboard available, but it’s sturdy, highly reviewed, and easy to transport. At almost $100 off the normal price, it’s a great Amazon Prime Day 2022 deal if you want to treat yourself without breaking your budget.

LifeStraw water filter with hanging gravity bag: $25.95 (save $25)

This is our outdoor editor’s favorite Amazon Prime Day 2022 deal for any backpackers or campers. Hikers and campers already know they need to carry a water filter to cut down on backpack weight and rehydrate during multi-day trips, but walking back and forth to your water source to fill one water bottle at a time is a real time suck. This water filter with a gravity bag solves that: just fill the giant bag, hook up the filter, hang it from a tree, and you’re all set. You can use it to fill bottles, wash dishes, brush your teeth, or even do a quick rinse. It also weighs next to nothing, so it’s easy to carry. It’s a heck of a good deal at 45 percent off.

Four-bike car rack: $99.99 (save $100)

It’s time to get your bike out of your car — and tire marks off your car’s upholstery. This is a heck of a good deal for cyclists, especially if you want to run bike shuttles with your friends. The rack works for both road bikes and mountain bikes (though as with many racks, you may need a bar adapter for some full-suspension mountain bikes). Buyers report that the rack is sturdy and bikes are easy to mount. You’ll need a hitch on your car to mount the rack and be sure to check the max weight rating for your car (usually in the user manual) before mounting four heavy bikes.

By the way: this is a limited deal, so only a certain number of racks are available. If you’re at all on the fence, we advise buying it while you can — you can always return it for free later with Amazon Prime.

Telescope with a phone mount and hands-free photo shooting: $140 (save $160)

If you’ve ever wanted to peer up at the night sky to spot constellations, planets, and even rocket launches, now’s your chance. This freestanding telescope kit (which also includes the telescope plus a carrying case and multiple lenses) is one heck of an Amazon Prime Day 2022 deal if you’re fascinated by space. Our favorite feature is the built-in cell phone mount and wireless photo-taking capabilities, so you don’t have to worry you’re going to blur your carefully focused shots by tapping the shutter button.

Mesh beach bag with tons of pockets: $21 (save $9)

This roomy beach bag fits much more than you’d expect — certainly more than a backpack — and has a half-dozen external pockets to organize small items like sunblock, sunglasses, or cell phones. The best part, of course, is that it’s made from durable mesh, completely eliminating the risk of getting sand in your bag. Shake it out once you’ve packed up after your beach day, and you’re good to go.

Complete at-home slacklining kit: $39.97 (save $15)

If you thought slacklining was the purview of hippies and expert yogis only, think again. Slacklines are a great way to build balance and core strength and increase your mental focus. Once you have one set up, you can pop on it for just a few minutes at a time since you don’t need to take it down after every use (though you may want to take it down in heavy snow). Slacklining is easier than it looks, especially if you follow some of the beginner techniques for learning to stand. This kit comes with the slackline as well as tree protectors and a ratchet kit to keep it tight, but the “complete” kit (at a similar discount) also includes a hand rope, which can be helpful for beginners.

Ultralight two-person backpacking tent: $204 (save $75)

Many of the items on sale for Amazon Prime Day 2022 are generic brands, which is why it’s nice to see this technical, highly rated two-person backpacking tent from established outdoor brand ALPS Mountaineering on sale. The two-person Helix is easy to assemble and roomy enough for two, plus it has extra vestibule space under the rainfly to keep your gear dry and covered. But the best selling point is the weight: even the two-person tent is less than four pounds, which normally is only seen on tents that cost you a lot more than $204.

What is Amazon Prime Day?

 

In short, Amazon Prime Day is the e-commerce platform’s version of a mega-sale. It’s effectively a digital Black Friday, where all types of items are listed at huge discounts to entice shoppers to stock up on a variety of things while they are cheap. Discounted prices are listed next to the normal price, in a different color, noting the discount. You can only take advantage of Prime Day prices during the two days in which the sale takes place. After the sale is over, prices return to normal.

Prime Day came about in 2015 because Amazon wanted to celebrate its 20th birthday in a manner that would draw massive attention (and create massive profits). It has since become one of the most anticipated online retail events of the year, with shoppers able to take advantage of deals on items that touch nearly every aspect of their lives. Even books, the company’s flagship product, are steeply discounted, sometimes even free for Prime members.

 

Do you need to be a Prime member to participate in Amazon Prime Day?

 

Yes, you do. However, it’s not too late to join. What’s more, you can sign up for a free 30-day trial right now and be eligible to participate in Prime Day. Amazon Prime costs $15 per month or $139 per year. Once enrolled, you can take advantage of perks like free shipping, special deals, and the ability to participate in these special Prime Day sales.

 

When is Amazon Prime Day?

 

Amazon Prime Day 2022 runs on July 12 and July 13, 2022, from midnight on the first day until 11:59 PM on the second. You can take part in the sale up until the very end, and Amazon has listed some products in advance, including AirPlay Pro Bluetooth adapters. Prime Day sales cover everything category on the site, and include products from many large vendors — and pretty much everything made or sold by Amazon directly.

Prime Day typically takes place in July, though last year’s Prime Day happened in June. Rumors abound that a second Prime Day will take place later in 2022, to offer similar deals once again to Prime members.

For comparison, here are the dates of previous Prime Day sales:

  • Prime Day 2015: July 15
  • Prime Day 2016: July 12
  • Prime Day 2017: July 11 and 12
  • Prime Day 2018: July 16 and 17
  • Prime Day 2019: July 15 and 16
  • Prime Day 2020: Oct. 13 and 14 (delayed due to COVID-19 pandemic)
  • Prime Day 2021: June 21 and 22

 

How does Prime Day work?

 

Amazon Prime Day is a simple program: As long as you’re a Prime member, you can take advantage of all the great deals on travel products and all kinds of other gear. When you’re logged into your Prime account, you’ll see the deals pop up automatically when you look at a product, or a listing of different eligible products. Buy the product, and you automatically get the discounted price. Plus, you still get those sweet Prime perks like free shipping in just one to two days, in many cases.

 

What countries can participate in Prime Day?

 

Amazon has added more countries to its list of participants in Prime Day 2022. You can take part in Amazon Prime Day on six continents (we’re still waiting for word on when Antarctica will be accepted).
