Our livelihoods and passions increasingly rely on the tech hardware we pack. And how to pack your computer, charger, hard drive, more chargers and tablet is a constant conundrum. First released by Incase in 2014, the Icon Backpack is a mobile office. Designed with a focus on the needs of the commuting creative, the Icon is a truly intentional, tech-optimized backpack with integrated comfort features, intelligent storage and organization for a litany of tech — MacBook, iPad, iPhone and accessories included. The Icon even has space for documents, since not everything can live solely in the digital world. The result of Incase’s precise design is a pack ready to take on the rugged demands of a life on your back, all while keeping your tech safe. In short, the Icon backpack is the pinnacle of organization and functionality, and right now, you can grab one for 20 percent off when you use the code INC-GEAR20.

Fresh Deals

Adidas x Missoni Ultra Boost Sneakers
Save $100: If you’re looking for a wildly cool summer sneaker, head over to Need Supply Co. today. Currently, you can pick up a pair of Adidas x Missoni Ultra Boost Clima sneakers on sale. The style features a Climacool Primeknit upper with Missoni’s iconic space-dying pattern, a sock-like collar and a co-branded tongue tag.

AmazonBasics Kettlebell Sale
Save 40%: Kettlebells are a lifetime purchase — once you buy them, they’ll likely outlast you and your workouts. They’re an alternative to those pricey gym memberships, considering you can upgrade your home gym with just one KB. And when you realize that these essential fitness tools can be affordable, like AmazonBasics’ kettlebells, your home gym will be locked and loaded. Today, the AmazonBasics kettlebells are currently on sale for up to 27-percent off.

Crossfit has helped bolster kettlebells’ reputation as a must-have gym item and a dynamic alternative to dumbbells. They can be used to increase the results of rows, deadlifts and squats, and a properly-executed kettlebell swing can increase strength, speed and explosiveness. All this from a hunk of iron with a handle attached. AmazonBasics makes its kettlebells from cast iron and coats them in enamel for a smooth feel and appearance. Given that some kettlebells can cost as much as $200, it’s a considerable deal — Amazon’s kettlebells range from ten to 60 pounds and cost as little as $15. –Meg Lappe

Levi’s Denim Essentials
Save up to 75%: If you’ve been waiting for a chance to stock up on some solid wardrobe basics, head over to Levi’s today. Currently, you can save up to 75 percent on a huge range of clothing at the Premium Warehouse Sale. Choose from jeans, jackets, tees and more — the prices are hard to beat. — John Zientek

Seiko 5 Automatic Field Watch
Save 14%: Realistically, Seiko 5 watches rarely sell for retail, and the prices they effectively trade at are pretty damn low already. However, the SNK805, a sort of prototypical Seiko 5, is currently on sale for just $68, which is even less than it’s typical absurdly low price of seventy-something bucks. The SNK805 features a 37mm case, automatic Seiko movement with day-date display, a green dial and matching nylon strap and 30m of water resistance. With its mid-size case and military-inspired look, this Seiko 5 is the perfect summer “beater watch,” and at this price, it’s hard to argue against it. — Oren Hartov

Breedlove Pursuit Exotic Concert CE Acoustic Guitar
Save $200: Founded in 1990, Oregon-based Breedlove makes a range of high-end guitars designed for discerning players. Just look at the Pursuit Exotic Concert CE. It features a solid myrtlewood top, back and sides in Breedlove’s original body shape, and an African ebony fretboard and bridge. Myrtlewood is the brand’s most-used tonewood — it has the best tonal elements of rosewood, mahogany and maple — and grows along Oregon’s Pacific coast.

Designed for players, this guitar includes top-tier L.R. Baggs EAS electronics and a pinless bridge for easy string changes. And, the hand-rubbed, semi-gloss neck has a slim profile that is appropriate for many hand sizes. To top it off, the guitar features subtle neck inlays, a simple rosette and a tasteful binding.

Normally priced at a very fair $750, the Stage Series Concert E now costs just $550. That’s almost too good to be true, so if it catches your eye, act fast — savings like this won’t be around long. — John Zientek

Barebones Exclusive Woodsman Set
Save $25: Perhaps nothing is more frustrating than trying to do a tough job with the wrong tool, and that’s especially true in the outdoors, where getting that job done may mean the difference between a lively fire pit and wrapping yourself in every available garment to stay warm. Thankfully, Huckberry is selling the Barebones Exclusive Woodsman Set, featuring a Field Hatchet and Ultimate Tool, for $25 off. The hatchet boasts a four-inch blade of heavy-duty carbon steel, perfect for splitting wood. Meanwhile, the tool’s nearly 7-inch blade has both straight and serrated edges, ideal for tackling all kinds of cutting and sawing tasks. Together they present a formidable backwoods combination — one that ensures you’ll never be left out in the cold. –Steve Mazzucchi

Schuberth C4 Spark
Save 53%: Riding a motorcycle is a delight for the senses, but it can grow a little weary on the ears after a while. Between the roar of the wind rushing past and the drone of the engine, it doesn’t take long for the sounds of a ride to push into the irritation zone — or even start to cause causing hearing damage.

Of course, a good helmet can help offset those potentially-deafening noises. And right now, one of the quietest helmets on the market today—the Schuberth C4 Spark Helmet—is on sale for a massive 53 percent off at RevZilla. — Will Sabel Courtney
