Our Favorites From The Huckberry Black Friday Sale

With the holidays right around the corner, the Huckberry Black Friday Sale is the perfect time to stock up for your friends and family gathering attire. Enter the Relwen Quilted Insulated Tanker Jacket! This has the ideal look that isn’t too casual or fancy for the family get-together, has insulation to keep you warm when you fly back to Minnesota to see your loved ones, and comes in three colorways to ensure you get the look you’re aiming for. It has a zipper and buttons, so you can stop the wind from sneaking in through the teeth, which we dig! The exterior is 100% cotton flannel twill, and the liner is polyester, which looks unique and helps keep you cozy.

We think it’s worth paying for quality items, especially for travel. The size of this jacket won’t work for ultralight packers; however, it’s small enough to fit into your carry on luggage and won’t weigh you down while you’re wandering across a new city or while visiting your hometown. Plus, you’ll look good if you run into your middle school math teacher that you had a crush on way back when. Quick, do you remember the quadratic formula song? That’ll impress them!

If you’re looking for a stylish jacket that you can take to fancier occasions and when you’re traveling to chillier (but not freezing) locations, look no further than the Relwen Quilted Insulated Tanker Jacket this holiday season!

• It’s easy to dress up and is incredibly comfortable
• There’s insulation to ensure you stay warm and can layer well

• It comes with a hefty price tag
• The style won’t suit all travelers

Sometimes you forget to buy a souvenir on your trip and go home empty-handed. Sometimes that’s for the best, as you might pick out something in the moment that you don’t need or won’t use. We’re not telling you to stop buying souvenirs; that would be a real buzzkill. However, if you’ve been to The Wave in Arizona and left to return home without grabbing a trinket, we’ve got something for you.

Whiskey Peaks makes unique glasses that feature different natural wonders of the world. This set has one of the finest rock formations Arizona has to offer molded into the bottom, which makes for a unique whiskey-sipping experience. Even if you haven’t been to The Wave, these are a conversation piece that will make you want to plan a trip to the Paria Canyon-Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness.

We like that they’re double-walled because it makes them feel a little more sturdy than other single-walled glasses form Whiskey Peaks. Whether you want a new glass to sip whiskey, wine, or something in between, these are some of the most fun offerings available at this year’s Huckberry sale!

• The double-walled design adds much-needed durability to an otherwise fragile glass
• They’re an excellent conversation starter

• You only get two, making these glasses pricier than many
• Like everything made of glass, they aren’t the most durable option

Everyone should own a cozy sweatshirt. Well, we think so, anyway. There aren’t many more comfortable than the Flint and Tinder 10-Year Full Zip Hoodie, and, lucky for you, it’s part of the Huckberry Sale. What a coincidence!

The sweatshirt is crafted from US-grown cotton, 12-ounce fleece, twill, and polyester, coming together for a durable yet comfortable fit. The whole thing is put together in California, which isn’t common in the modern era, and we’re here for it. There’s a drawstring on the hood so you can tighten it to get some relief from the winter winds, and this sweatshirt layers incredibly well with a travel jacket to add warmth to your packing list.

Considering how warm this thing is, it doesn’t pack down very small, which will be a drawback for some travelers. That said, it should fit into your carry on, can be worn onto the plane to make the cabin more cozy, and is a versatile piece of travel gear once you land. Whether going on an early morning walk or unwinding after a long day of networking at a conference, you’ll find it useful from before the sun goes up to after it’s gone for the day!

• It’s crazy cozy to wear year-round
• The materials are high quality and rugged

• It isn’t very packable
• You can’t dress it up

Everybody needs a pair of stylish sunglasses, no matter where you’re going or what you’re doing. If you snag a set of Walden Eyewear Woods Sunglasses during the Huckberry sale, you’ll get a look that goes with almost any outfit you could imagine taking on a trip. Seriously, these things have a classic look that never goes out of style; you can feel it as soon as you put them on.

At the time of writing, there are five colorways available, so you can grab a pair that matches the vibe of your packing list. All of the options are sleek and muted, which we dig because that typically means they’ll go with more things. Plus, they offer 100% AVA and UVB protection, protecting your eyes from the sun’s rays.

These sunglasses are tailored for a masculine fit; however, we’ve found they fit most faces reasonably well. The frames are crafted from recycled steel and bio-acetate, which are somewhat lightweight and durable enough for the bumps and knocks of travel. That said, if you’re a rugged packer, you might want to snag a hard sunglasses case during the Huckberry sale, too!

• They go with any style or outfit
• You get 100% protection from UVA and UVB

• They’ll be too large for some faces
• They are not the most durable glasses we’ve tested

Everyone should have that one item in their repertoire that will be the talk of the party. Even if you aren’t partying, we should all be allowed to bring one thing on our next trip that makes us happy. For you, that might be the Huckberry X Coors Banquet Corduroy Hat. In addition to offering heritage style and one of the most American logos of all time, this hat has a comfortable fit and three color options to work with.

This isn’t the most lightweight hat, so it might not be the best choice for ultralight travelers. However, for weekenders or fun trips with your buddies, you’ll rarely take off because of how comfortable and neat it is. Seriously, this thing’s fun factor is off the charts! Plus, it makes for a great gift, making its placement on the Huckberry Black Friday Sale even more fitting. Enjoy responsibly!

• It’s a comfortable conversation starter
• We dig the heritage styling

• Beer companies aren’t a good match for all travelers
• Not the most breathable hat

If you’re a fan of Wu-Tang, you’re familiar with bringing the ruckus; but have you heard of bringing the RUX Bag? No? Well, let us enlighten you!

This tote is small enough when empty to slide into the bottom of your carry on, a nook or cranny in your car, or the corner of the closet when you aren’t using it. When you need to stow items inside a bag, unravel it and load it up. While the materials are durable and waterproof, the bag itself is not because of the closure—you’ll need a rolltop or IPX-rated zippers for that. However, there is a top hook to keep your gear in place! Although not well-padded, the handles are comfortable enough for trips to and from the local market or to handle on the beach after a long day in the sun.

Because of the durable and waterproof materials, this bag isn’t the lightest in the bunch. However, it’s much more durable and comfortable to carry than more packable bags we’ve tested, so this is a hardier option for those who don’t want to use something that could puncture on a rugged trip. Every piece of gear has a place, and this one is for those who want a bag that won’t burst when they need it most. Whether you’re Shaolin shadowboxing or getting some produce, this is one of our favorite items at the Huckberry sale this year!

• The materials are durable and water-resistant
• You can fold it up when you aren’t using it

• It’s not the most packable tote we’ve come across
• When fully packed, the handles can dig in slightly

Wait, so you’re saying we’re allowed to wear slippers outside? Like all the time? Even in the winter? It isn’t a joke? Give me a minute, I need to call somebody.

Sorry about that; I knew my mom would want to hear about this. As you might have heard, with a slipper like the Greys Wool Outdoor Mule, you can take the comfort of your home with you wherever you go. The wool/synthetic blend warms and comforts your feet, while the rubber sole keeps you stable on all terrains, from concrete sidewalks to dirt roads. While we wouldn’t recommend taking these on a hike, they’re a perfect fit for road trips, walking to get the mail, or for errands around town. Or, if you’re taking a long flight, pack your shoes in your carry on and wear these onto the plane.

You can choose from three kinds if you go with wool—Slipper, Boot, and Mule. Then, there’s a Sherpa option, which is crafted from polyester sherpa fleece. For that material, you can get a boot or a slide. Depending on how warm your feet run and your comfort level, you can choose the right slipper for you. Regardless of your choice during this year’s Huckberry Black Friday Sale, you’ll be comfortable and stable in your slippers all winter!

• They’re incredibly cozy
• You can wear them outside

• Some users note that they make their feet sweaty
• Not the best traction on the sole, so we recommend avoiding going outside in super icy conditions

Field Notes have been a favorite here at Pack Hacker for ages. So, when looking through the products available during this year’s Huckberry sale, including their collaboration with Field Notes, it was a no-brainer. We use this stuff constantly, both at Pack Hacker HQ and while traveling.

At home, sometimes it’s nice to get your ideas down on paper, and using a pen or pencil can be a nice switch from using a computer all day. While on the go, writing important things down just in case your phone dies is a good idea. Plus, you never know when you’ll feel like doodling, playing an old-fashioned game of Tic Tac Toe.

Using a pad of paper isn’t the most sustainable option on the market, so we don’t recommend wasting paper if you can help it. However, Field Notes is a nod to promotion memo books of years past, and sometimes you need some paper to write something down. This 3-pack has fun colorway options, a durable cover, and a writing surface you can trust your pen on when you need it most.

• The art on the covers is unique and fun
• We think the paper is high quality enough for most uses

• Not the most environmentally friendly way to record information
• Pricier than a standard notebook

Winter is coming. For some of you, it might already be here. Don’t be that person who wanders out into the cold without a hat on. Like somebody who cares about you probably once said, “You’ll catch a cold!” We don’t want that now, do we? Especially when you could be rocking a Huckberry Beanie!

We recommend this hat time and time again for numerous reasons. First, it comes in at a budget-friendly price, so you can keep your ears warm without emptying your pockets. Second, there are a ton of colorways available, so you can get one that matches your style. Last, it’s part of the Huckberry sale, so you’re getting a deal!

We’ll be the first to admit that this isn’t the warmest hat on the market; however, it isn’t supposed to be. We aren’t telling you to wear this into the Arctic. However, for most trips and climates, this hat is all you’ll need for your next trip. Plus, it packs down relatively small, saving space in your pack or sling. Who doesn’t love that?

• It comes in at a budget-friendly price point
• There are numerous colorways to choose from

• It’s not the warmest beanie on the market
• Some users don’t find it durable enough for travel

In recent years, stretchy pants have become more popular, and we’re here for it. Why not wear something comfortable instead of something limiting and structured? Especially when traveling, this can be the difference between a good day and a bad one. With that in mind, let’s talk about the Proof Rover Pant.

These pants are crafted from cotton, Repreve polyester, and lycra. This offers durability for rugged trips and a stretchiness for comfort that we’re willing to write exactly three paragraphs about. That might not seem like a lot, but how many paragraphs about pants have you written before?

Depending on your frame, these might be tight for certain adventures. After all, nobody wants a wardrobe malfunction while they’re spread between two large boulders on a hike. If that's a concern, it's worth looking at the straight leg and athletic tapered styles for a little extra room (psst—those are also on sale!). The durability of these materials can handle long walks in the woods, urban adventures across the city, and sitting on the couch for the big game. No matter where you go, go comfortable in the Rover Pant. Seriously, they’re a part of the Huckberry sale. What are you waiting for?

• They’re stretchy enough for limber adventures
• The materials are durable enough for rugged or urban vacations

• Some users may find them too tight compared to other brands
• They’re pricier than some travelers will want to spend (a great reason to get them now!)

There aren’t many pieces of travel gear that are more versatile than the Turkish Towel. You can use it as intended—to dry off after a dip into the ocean or after a shower. However, you can use it for much more than that, too. You can add it to your wardrobe as a fashion accessory, cover your face and head with it to get some relief from the sun, wind, or cold, and use it to sit on the ground at the park. The possibilities are endless!

The Turkish Towels Sultan Turkish Towel is crafted from Turkish cotton, is lightweight enough to fit into a daypack and dries quickly because of its thinness. Some users won’t like drying off with it because of the latter, but we find that it’s more than capable for most uses. Nobody is asking you to use this after every shower while at home. However, when trying to save space and weight while traveling, the Sultan Turkish Towel will get the job done as a towel, garment, or picnic blanket, no matter where your destination is. Plus, it’s a part of this year’s Huckberry sale, so you’ll get a deal. Get a move on!

• You can use it for various travel uses, from the beach to the park
• It dries incredibly quickly

• It isn’t the most absorbent towel on the market
• It’s not particularly fluffy or cozy, which may not be for everyone

The Forty Five Supima Crew T-Shirt is worth writing home about. It’s crafted from 100% Supima cotton, which is more durable than regular cotton while offering high-quality comfort and breathability. At the time of writing, a dozen colorways are available, so you can get a shirt that matches your vibe or create a whole new wardrobe with every color imaginable!

This isn’t the most budget-friendly shirt on the market. However, considering the durability offered by the Supima cotton fibers, the casual look that can be dressed up or down, and the versatility of a cotton shirt, we think there’s a place for this in your packing list, whether you’re going on a road trip or staying at a hostel.

• Due to its comfort and durability, you can do it all in this T-shirt
• There are a ton of colorways to choose from

• It’s not the most budget-friendly T-shirt
• Some users may find the material itchy

Let’s say you like fancy hats. Or, maybe you like western movies. One step further, perhaps you’re cosplaying one of the characters from Westworld. If any of those are true, you’re going to need a hat. If you’re getting something to cover your noggin, it might as well be comfortable, right? It should be packable and crafted from breathable materials, too, you think? Well, that’s why we’ve selected the Stetson Explorer Outdoor Hat from this year’s Black Friday Sale!

This modern take on a wild-wild-western hat is crafted from wool felt and leather, so you know it’s durable and breathable. It has a sweatband, so perspiration will stay out of your eyes no matter how hot things get. Plus, to top it all off, this thing is crafted in the United States of America. How rad is that?

We’ve got to recognize that this hat isn’t going to be everyone’s style—although it would be neat to live in a world where everyone is wearing hats like this. That said, we didn’t make this list for the Huckberry Black Friday Sale, expecting you to purchase every item on the page. Just like our Digital Nomad Packing List, we try to feature things that can help make you a complete traveler, and, for some, this puppy will do the trick! Yippee Ki-Yay!

• It’s made in the USA
• The materials can be packed in a bag without wrinkling or folding

• The style isn’t for everyone (even if we think it should be)
• Even with breathable materials, it gets hot quickly

Everyone should have a pair of sunglasses that they aren’t afraid to bump and knock around while traveling, and the Huckberry Weekenders Sunglasses are a solid choice for that during this year’s Huckberry sale! They come in at a budget-friendly price, so you won’t be overly bummed if you lose or break them, there are seven colorways to choose from (at the time of writing), and the look will go with almost any outfit you’ve got packed for your next trip.

These sunglasses are crafted from heavy-duty plastic, which bends but takes a lot to break, which we’re here for. These aren’t the most durable glasses on the market, but they aren’t priced to be. They come with a cloth carrying case, which will work for most travelers, but a hard case is a good shout if you’re prone to accidentally sitting on your glasses.

We’ll be the first to admit that these don’t feel like the most premium glasses in your hand; however, as we’ve mentioned, they aren’t meant to be. These are a step above cheap glasses that you’ll find on Amazon, which we dig because they offer a unique style and slightly higher durability without increasing the price so high that you’ll be scared to lose them. Plus, they’re a part of the Huckberry Black Friday Sale, so that you can get a deal!

• They have a quality look for a budget-friendly price
• There are a few colorways to choose from so you can find your vibe

• They feel somewhat cheap in your hand
• The frames won’t suit everyone’s face well

To quote the notable scholar SpongeBob SquarePants, “The best time to wear an Organic Fleece Pullover is all the time. One with buttons, organic cotton, that’s the kind!” Maybe they didn’t say that, but it would have been cool if they did! Luckily, we’re here to say and make dumb jokes about it.

The Wellen High Tide Organic Fleece Pullover is that cozy sweater you were looking for as cold weather descends upon your life. In addition to offering warmth in the winter, you can dress this up to go out to dinner with your folks without missing a beat. Who doesn’t want to look good and feel warm as a burrito wrapped up in aluminum foil?

As far as travel goes, this isn’t the most packable sweater that we’ve come across. However, its combination of a cozy fit and breathable cotton construction makes it a good shout for destinations that aren’t freezing but might get a little chilly from time to time. You can dress it up, wear it to bed if you’re feeling under the weather, and roll it up to use as a pillow on the plane if the going gets tough. Hopefully, with all these Huckberry Black Friday Sale deals, you’ll be prepared!

• It’s incredibly cozy to wear
• You can dress it up for a fancier event

• It isn’t the most lightweight clothing article
• Some users may find it slightly itchy
