August has arrived, which means that we’ve officially entered the broiling, miserable, too-long dog days of summer, when it seems impossible that we ever thought that skipping work to sit in a park would be a good idea. Luckily, there are plenty of sales to both distract and remind you that autumn is coming soon, from Backcountry’s Semiannual Sale to back-to-school sales at some of our favorite retailers. Scroll on to scope our favorite picks.

Home and Outdoors
Camp Chef Everest Two-Burner Stove for $96 ($39 off): Backcountry’s Semiannual Sale is consistently worth checking out, with up to 50 percent off gear that almost never goes on sale. WIRED grill reviewer Scott Gilbertson gives this compact two-burner stove two thumbs up, and it almost never goes below $100.
Patagonia Men’s Insulated Jacket for $174 ($75 off): We love Patagonia’s light, versatile mid-layer, which stays warm when wet.
Smith Colette ChromaPop Sunglasses for $101 ($68 off): Smith’s ChromaPop lenses make water look especially clear and colorful.
Rumpl Original Puffy Blanket for $90 ($39 off): Rumpl’s blankets feel exactly like a sleeping bag but are much more versatile. They’re better-looking, too.
Cotopaxi Teca Windbreaker for $48 ($32 off): Cotopaxi’s light, colorful windbreakers are made of repurposed nylon and pack down into an internal chest pocket.
Fix MFG Wheelie Wrench for $24 ($6 off): The first rule of bicycling is that something will break at the absolute worst minute. This multitool is the size of a matchbox, but includes a bewildering array of hex bits, screwdrivers, and the like, including the all-necessary bottle opener.
Instant Pot Duo 6 Qt Pressure Cooker for $50 ($30 off): If you’ve never shopped with Google Express before, you can use coupon code JULY20SAVE for an additional 20 percent discount through August 4.
