1. Outdoor Voices Doing Things Shorts
Marked down by more than 30 percent during the sale, these lightweight shorts are ideal for any and all summer activities—from a weekend hike to a sunset stroll around your neighborhood. They're made from the brand's StretchTrack fabric, which is described as sweat-wicking and quick-drying to keep you cool and dry. The shorts also have a stretchy waistband with an adjustable tie string, so you can easily make them tighter or looser on your trek. Plus, shoppers call out the generous size of the pockets: "I really like the fit of these shorts... they seem to be pretty true-to-size [and] they fit well in all the right places, even [at] six weeks postpartum. The pockets are a really nice size and hold stuff well, unlike some other shorts I have where your phone or keys will just fall out."
2. Sorel Suede Ona 530 Hiker Boots
If you're planning to hit the trails this summer, don't miss the chance to scoop up these Sorel hiking boots while they're half (!) off. The boots are made with a sturdy, waterproof suede upper material with a molded, cushioned footbed to keep your feet comfy no matter how many miles you get in. They're also outfitted with molded rubber outsoles for prime traction on rocky paths. Even so, they're functional far beyond the forest. According to one buyer, they were the perfect pick for her rainy trip to Disneyland: "We walked three days straight in them (my husband got a pair too) and our feet were warm, dry and comfortable. A near miracle. No blisters or rubbing, the shoes are light and grip well. I’m super happy with my purchase. Not to mention they’re super cute!"
3. Vuori Rib Crop Tank
This cute crop from Vuori has a built-in bra for support through low-impact activities like yoga or walks with your dog. And at 50 percent off, it's a total steal. The ribbed fabric and strappy back give it a stylish look, too, so you won't mind sporting it to snag a pick-me-up coffee when you're done with your workout. Plus, the brand says the polyamide/elastane fabric is quick-drying, so you shouldn't be left with any sweat stains.
4. REI Co-Op Trailmade Rain Jacket
Spring may be turning to summer soon, but that doesn't mean we'll be free of rainy days. So if I were you, I'd snag this classic rain jacket that will keep you totally covered in a downpour. Reviewers rave that it feels lightweight, making it easy to travel with, and confirm just how well it holds up, even in heavy rain. "This jacket is exactly what I needed for a 5K with a forecast of heavy rain. It was perfect for a 40 degree start time with nothing but a long sleeve T-shirt under it. It was lightweight and roomy, but not so much that it obstructed my movement or felt bulky, and kept my upper body dry for the duration of the race (over an hour in heavy rain before, during and after the event)." Yep, I'm sold.
5. Columbia PFG Tidal Light Active Shorts
These stretchy activewear shorts are made for both water and land activities and feature sweat-wicking, UPF 50 fabric to keep you comfy and protected through it all. They also have two convenient side slip pockets for storing things like your phone, cards or keys, though you'll want to remember to remove them before taking a dip, as the brand notes they're totally water-friendly.
6. Patagonia Re-Tool Hybrid Jacket
Despite the warming weather, you definitely won't want to miss the chance to save *$150* on this cozy hybrid jacket from Patagonia. The design features fleece at the top, while the bottom half is insulated with PrimaLoft—both made from recycled polyester. According to one happy buyer, it feels "warm, but not too warm," making it a great option for unpredictable weather. Trust, you'll be glad to have it on hand once the sun sets on your camping trip in the mountains.
7. Allbirds Tree Dasher Sneakers
These versatile comfortable sneakers from J.Lo-approved brand Allbirds are made from a eucalyptus tree-blend Tencel material that's not only eco-friendly, but light and breathable as well. The shoes have a cushioned midsole and crash pads to up their comfort factor, and buyers confirm they're totally worth grabbing (especially while they're $35 off) for their roomy fit and effective grip. "These are great. Comfortable with room for my toes to breathe and not be squished. Very grippy when walking around," writes one reviewer. IMO, their sleek, minimalist look also makes them the perfect everyday sneak you can pair with everything from leggings to dresses.
8. Outdoor Voices Volley Dress
Who says your activewear can't be both sporty *and* cute? This discounted dress from Outdoor Voices certainly ticks both those boxes—and aces the tenniscore trend to boot. Not to mention, it's also super practical, featuring built-in shorts with pockets, so you can tuck your phone away and not have to worry about limiting your movement. Since the dress is made with the brand's stretchy SuperForm fabric with UPF 50 sun protection and sweat-wicking properties, I imagine you won't mind wearing it long after you leave the court.
