Every Prime Day, there are thousands of pieces of gear that go up on sale. With so many different products and brands, it can be hard to know which are a steal, and which are just deeply discounted junk. At Outdoor Life, we pride ourselves on providing readers with product recommendations backed by real-life testing. The below gear isn’t just gear we’ve tested: It’s gear that we continue to use in our backcountry pursuits and as part of our home emergency kits.

Water Filtration
LifeStraw (and its many imitators) are reliable stalwarts of Amazon Prime Day. Staff writer Laura Lancaster tested these out in the field to see if they were a realistic way to drink water in both an emergency setting or while hiking. Based on her testing, we’re confident that this is the best value LifeStraw option out there:

Flashlight
Outdoor Life staff have tested dozens of flashlights for everyday, camping, rechargeable, and more. Here are one on deep discount this Amazon Prime Day that we recommend.

EDC
I’m currently testing over 30 EDC knives for a review, and the CJRB Pyrite is an early favorite in the under $100 category. Save $10 on the CJRB Pyrite. It’s now $40.
OLIGHT I3T Prime Day Deal: Save 20%
The Olight I3T is a AAA sized flashlight that kicks out 180 lumens on high and 5 lumens on low. It has a two way clip so you can clip to a pocket or a hat brim for hands free use. It’s size and profile is perfect for pocket carry and it’s bright enough for daily tasks. The beam is also optimized for general purpose use—wide and even. It comes in a range of finishes but just the black, tan, and blue versions are on sale for $15.

This Kickstarter sensation is a really cool light and one of my favorites so far. It has red and white light settings, a very easy to use UI, LCD display, and it charges wirelessly. I’d recommend using the lock feature if you’re going to pocket carry it, or even if you have in a backpack. The rotating head and magnetic base are surprisingly handy features when using it for things like automotive projects.
Hunting
This August the Eberlestock Recon won Editor’s Choice at our optics test for the best bino harness in a very competitive field.
The Maven B.6 is one of our favorite binoculars of all time, and the B.2 is similar in quality, but different in magnification and objective diameter. These binos come in 9 and 11 power and 45 objectives.
