Best Prime Day Deals For Paddlers
Onyx M16 Inflatable Belt PFD
$51.28 | Save 49%
A favorite minimalist inflatable belt pack PFD is currently on sale for 49 percent off. The Onyx M16 is the smallest, lightest and most low-profile life jacket we’ve ever tested, and among our top picks for best life jackets. It’s best suited for use by strong swimmers who are paddling in inland, sheltered waters. The ultra-slim design is barely noticeable when you have it on, and that’s no surprise since it’s just an inch wide and weighs less than a pound. Yank the tab on this manual inflatable PFD and its CO2 cartridge will inflate with 17 pounds of buoyancy.

Garmin inReach Mini 2
$249 | Save 38%
The Garmin inReach Mini 2 has been my go-to satellite communicator since 2022. It offers two-way messaging, SOS capability and weather reports in a palm-sized package that weighs just a fifth of a pound. What I love about the Mini 2: its compact size, reliable connectivity and excellent battery life. On a multi-month cycling trip, I set the device to update my location every hour so family 5,000 miles away could follow my route. I needed to recharge it just once a week.
Garmin’s newer inReach models can send photos and voice memos, which is neat but not essential. Currently on sale for $249, the Mini 2 offers top-of-the-line functionality at close to half the price of the newer models. After hundreds of nights in the field, the Mini 2 remains my favorite satellite communicator.

Oru’s offerings consistently rank among our favorite recreational foldable kayaks. For paddlers on calm waters, the nine-foot-long Lake Sport is a friendly option and currently on sale for $140 off retail price. The origami-inspired design takes the elements of a recreational kayak—stability, accessibility and easy paddling—and packs it into a kayak a fraction of the weight that can fold into a package roughly the size of a large art briefcase. The Lake Sport is Oru’s lightest and most portable model, weighing just 18 pounds and boasting a 250-pound weight capacity. Setup takes just a couple minutes.

Onyx MoveVent
$56.30 | Save 31%
My top choice for best life jacket for budget-conscious recreational paddlers, the MoveVent Dynamic from Onyx offers solid durability and comfort for under $100 at retail price—and it’s currently on sale for an additional 31 percent off. With the MoveVent’s budget price tag, paddlers get straightforward functionality without any frills. This PFD has a small single pocket up front, ideal for stashing keys and a whistle though not much else. Mesh ports offer venting in hot weather, and the vest’s flotation panels are chunky but comfortable. This PFD is in heavy rotation in the Paddling Mag gear closet and a favorite to loan out to friends and family. As a testament to its durability, it’s seen a lot of use over more than half a decade and it’s still looking great.
Buy from:
Keen Newport H2
$92.05 | Save 25%
A perennial favorite at the put-in, it feels like every canoe tripper has owned a pair of Keen Newport H2s at some point. With the sole of a hiker and the topside of a sandal, the Newport H2 offers chunky support with the protection with a toe cap but lots of breathability and the quick dry time you want if you’re repeatedly stepping in and out of the water. The Newport H2 has a secure feel thanks to their lace-capture system paired with nylon webbing, and my last pair lasted close to a decade. These are among my top picks for best water shoes because they are comfortable, durable and can tackle any terrain.

Pelican Marine Phone Pouch (Two Pack)
$18.74 | Save 25%
Sure, many modern smartphones are waterproof, but if you drop them in the river, they can sink faster than you can snatch them back up. Brightly colored and with lots of flotation, the Pelican Marine Phone Pouch is a top pick on the Paddling Mag team for best waterproof phone pouch both because it’s both dependably waterproof and easy to retrieve. You can take photos though the clear windows and scroll through the plastic. Cheap, cheerful and currently 25% off, this a no-brainer for those wanting soft-shell protection.
