On sale on Amazon right now, Highwood USA Adirondacks fold up easily, are made of recycled plastics, literally can’t splinter your backside and come with a 12-year home warranty. No matter the model, every chair is fade-resistant, and the company encourages you to leave it outside all year round.

Klipsch

Klipsch R-26PF Powered Floor-Standing Speakers
Save $551: Most Klipsch speakers tend to be pretty expensive. Not today. Right now you can buy a pair of its R-26PF tower speakers, which normally retail for $1,000, for just $449 — that’s more than half off. It’s a terrific deal for anybody looking to build out their own home theater system, but the R-26PFs are solid floor-standing speakers for really anybody. Released in 2018, the powered speakers have a number of modern conveniences. There’s no need for a receiver thanks to a 260-watt integrated amplifier. You can stream directly to them over Bluetooth (supports aptX). Plus there are 3.5mm and RCA analog line inputs, so you can play music directly from a number of different devices or hook up the speakers right to your turntable. However you want to use them, there’s a good chance these speakers will work for you.

Great T-Shirts
Save up to 50%: Few garments are as universal as the T-shirt. While the classic tee has its roots in early-20th-century sportswear and military garb, it is now a widespread staple of wardrobes regardless of occupation or income. If you need to stock up on a few new tees, Mr Porter is currently offering up to 50 percent off a range of quality options at its Spring Sale. Prices start at $18 and brands include J.Crew, Outerknown, Velva Sheen and more. There’s a range of colors and fits to choose from, but don’t hesitate if you see something you like — sizes are limited. — John Zientek

All different styles are available at various price points, so we curated a few to make it a little easier as you settle into the short work week. — Bryan Campbell

Bose

Bose SoundSport Wireless Headphones
Save $70: These in-ear headphones are sweat resistant, sound great and allow users to adjust the audio’s EQ through an app. Also, if you know Bose’s in-ear headphones fit in your ears, these will fit you as well. (All Bose in-ear headphones use the same Stay Hear+ eartips.) Normally $149, you can score a pretty good deal on eBay right now by picking the Bose SoundSport Wireless in-ear headphones for just $79. They’re “manufacturer refurbished,” it’s true, but eBay has a 30-day and money back return policy in case you’re not happy with them.

Gregory

Gregory Baltoro 75 Backpack
Save $141: The first backpacking pack I bought was Gregory’s Baltoro 65. Like so many do and have done, I was heading across the Atlantic to travel through Europe. My journey would be mostly through cities instead of mountains, and I’d be staying in 14-bunk hostel dorms, not a tent. But I knew that after the trip I’d want to use the backpack for those things, and I informed the store clerk of exactly that.

We chatted about my backpacking tendencies while he measured my torso to get a size and then he pulled three bags off the wall, removed their stuffing and replaced it with weighted bags that simulate a fully-packed backpack. I threw each one on and hiked around between the store’s racks and displays, attempting to get an idea in three minutes of what three months of travel might be like.

I landed on Gregory’s Baltoro backpack in the 65-liter volume. It was, to my consternation, the most expensive pack of the three the clerk had selected and slightly heavier too. But it was also the most comfortable — this fact is subjective, and what works for me may not for you — and the most feature-laden.

The list of those distinctive attributes is exhaustive. The ones that I’ve discovered to be most practical in the years since making that purchase — and trading the bag in for the bigger 75-liter model before an excursion to Ecuador — are its multiple points of access, a segmented and removable lid and a water bottle holster that’s actually accessible while hiking.

It was only until after many trips with the Baltoro that I learned it’s Gregory’s flagship backpack, and I can see why. It’s rightfully worth its full sticker price, but right now you can snag one for over $100 off at Mountain Steals. Enter the coder SAVE15 for an extra 15 percent off the already-marked-down price. — Tanner Bowden
