Today in Gear: Johnston & Murphy’s Weatherproof Footwear, the Year’s Best Camping Blankets & More

Today in Gear is our daily roundup of all the latest product announcements, drops and deals. Comments or concerns? We’d love to hear from you at [email protected].

No one wants to sacrifice form for function’s sake — especially when it comes to footwear. But you can get a great pair of shoes that look great and feature technically advanced materials and details. Johnston & Murphy proves this with its XC4 Prentiss Plain Toe, a shoe that offers sleek athletic style with an upper cut from super-soft waterproof leather or high-performance knit. This gives the sneakers an elevated look fit for the office and the ability to keep your feet dry and comfortable. A neoprene stretch bootie lining further ensures water won’t ever reach your socks. The contrast EVA mid-sole enhances the cushioning, making it easier to spend time on your feet. For a better-looking take on a waterproof shoe, give the XC4 Prentiss Plain Toe consideration.

LG 4K OLED TV
Save $1,097: Whether you’re interested in an OLED TV or you just want a good and affordable TV – this checks both those boxes. B&H is offering a 55-inch C8PUA for just $1,400 when you enter the code LGDAY at checkout. The 55-inch C8PUA was originally going for $2,497, but the price was dropped to $1,697 in the last month or so. However, now that you can get another ~$300 off at B&H with that code, this OLED is almost the same price as LG’s still-really-nice LCD TVs. And that’s pretty ridiculous.

Note: LG notoriously makes the best OLED TVs and the C8PUA is one of its best – both CNET and Rtings.com gave it glowing reviews.

ThermoWorks ChefAlarm
Save 20% The ChefAlarm has an extra-long cable (47 inches), a 6-inch probe and does not have the typical weak points we’ve seen in other probe thermometers. Its got magnets on the back to stay put on your oven door, adjustable volume settings (because it was designed for professional kitchen use, it gets very loud), screen brightness dampers and is the only probe thermometer we’ve tested that can be calibrated. More importantly, it’s also the most consistently accurate temperature reader we’ve tried.

Using it is pretty simple: input a desired internal temperature, insert the probe deep into the turkey breast or thigh and close oven on the cable with ChefAlarm’s body on the countertop. When the bird is nearing your desired temperature, it’ll alert you, and alert you again once it’s reached peak doneness. Probe thermometers (ones that you leave in the meat during cooking) are essential for cooking larger meats, as ovens can drop 50 to 75 degrees with a single opening of the oven door.

The ThermoWorks ChefAlarm is a modest $13 off today, and if ordered today should arrive by Turkey Day.

Champion Reverse Weave Classic Hoodie
Save 30%:Since the early 1900s, New York athletic brand Champion has been making some of the best basics on the market. But like many great 20th century brands, it began producing cheaper versions of its iconic sweats overseas in the last decades of the century. Instead of discarding its rich heritage, Champion revived its signature reverse weave fabric for a range of well-made hoodies. The design features a loopback interior, a drawstring hood and a front kangaroo pocket — just the essentials. So if you’re willing to spend a bit more for a better hoodie, head over to End today. This classic style is now 30 percent off and costs just under $70. — John Zientek
