Looking for dividend growth stocks? These stocks are expected to deliver strong payout growth over the next couple of years at least. BAE Systems 2.5% for 2024, 2.7% for 2025 The stable nature of arms spending means defence tends to be a rock-solid sector for . This is especially the case today, as fractures in the global order drive rapid rearmament in the West. ( ) is one contractor with a long record of distinguished dividend growth. It’s raised shareholder payouts every year since 2011. It’s a trend City analysts expect to continue, making it worth a close look in my opinion. Payouts are expected to rise 8%, to 32.3p per share, this year. Dividend growth is expected to accelerate to 10% in 2025, resulting in a full-year payout of 35.5p. Forecasts for next year are supported by expected profits rises of 7% and 12% in 2024 and 2025 respectively. As a consequence, estimated dividends for both years are covered 2.1 times by predicted earnings. Both readings are above the safety benchmark of 2 times, providing dividends forecasts with additional steel. BAE also has strong financial foundations to fund dividends in case earnings disappoint. Profits may fall short of estimates due to supply chain issues, for instance, a significant threat to defence firms’ annual earnings today. The firm had £2.8bn of cash on the balance sheet as of June. BAE Systems’ order backlog is surging, and it hit a record £74.1bn at the midpoint of 2025. It looks set to keep rising too, which bodes well for longer-term dividends. Airtel Africa 5.4% for 2025, 5.5% for 2026 Telecoms provider ( ) doesn’t have a long record of dividend growth like BAE. It’s only been listed on the for five years. It also cut the annual payout in 2021 as it rebased dividends to cut debt. However, cash payouts have surged since then, and by more than double-digit percentages on occasions. It’s a trend that City brokers expect to carry on. For this financial year (to March 2025), a total dividend of 6.52 US cents per share is predicted, up 10% year on year. A further 3% rise is anticipated for financial 2026, to 6.70 cents. However, I must warn that Airtel’s forecasts aren’t as robust as I’d ideally like. Profits are skidding lower due to adverse currency movements (EBITDA dropped 16.5% between April and September). And leverage levels are sharply growing, with net-debt-to-EBITDA rising to 2.3 times as of September. Falling earnings also mean dividend cover turns negative for this year, with predicted earnings of 46.7 US cents per share forecast. On the plus side, City analysts expect profits to rebound strongly in financial 2026, leaving robust dividend cover of 2.7 times. Yet despite the uncertain near-term outlook, I still believe Airtel Africa shares are worth serious consideration by risk-tolerant investors. What’s more, I believe the long-term picture here remains highly attractive. Telecoms demand for Africa continues to rocket, with Airtel’s customer base rising 6.1% year on year to 156.6m in September.FG FT Reb FLORIDA GULF COAST (3-2) Min M-A M-A O-T A PF PTS Taylor 28 1-4 0-0 0-3 0 2 2 Antenucci 31 6-11 0-0 1-5 2 2 16 Cairns 32 4-8 0-0 0-2 1 3 11 Jefferson 32 6-10 6-12 2-4 6 4 19 Rolle 32 1-3 0-2 0-2 1 2 2 Gill 14 1-3 0-0 1-1 1 1 2 Mitchell-Steen 8 1-2 0-0 0-1 0 0 2 Paige 3 1-1 0-0 0-1 0 0 2 Santoro 20 1-3 0-0 0-0 1 0 3 Team 0 0-0 0-0 1-3 0 0 0 Totals 200 22-45 6-14 5-22 12 14 59 Percentages: FG 48.889, FT .429.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) announced on Saturday the Playing XI for the first T20I match against Zimbabwe scheduled to be played tomorrow at Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo. The three-match series will be played from December 1 (Sunday) to December 5 (Thursday). Led by Salman Ali Agha, the playing XI features young and strong players including Saim Ayub, Omair Bin Yousuf, Usman Khan, Tayyab Tahir, Muhammad Irfan Khan and Jahandad Khan. The bowling side features Muhammad Abbas Afridi, Haris Rauf, Abrar Ahmed and Sufyan Moqim. Earlier, skipper Agha said that the team’s first priority is to win the series. “We won the one-day series, now our target is to win the T20I series,” he stressed. “We have to give young players maximum opportunity in this series,” said the captain while speaking during a press conference in Bulawayo today. Agha said that there will be new faces in the T20I series, adding that the team will maintain its momentum in the shortest format of the game. “We will try to play aggressively.” The captain said that the T20I squad has good bowlers. He added that he wants the youngsters to play and enjoy the game, stressing that the young players have performed well in the domestic cricket and they should be given a chance. Talking about the opponents, Agha said Zimbabwe is a good team with match winners, but the team will try to control them. “The Zimbabwean team has proven to be tough on home ground,” he added. On Thursday, the Men in Green inflicted a 99 runs defeat on Zimbabwe in the third One Day International to win the series by 2-1. Kamran Ghulam’s maiden century, followed by a combined bowling effort, steered Pakistan to a resounding victory over Zimbabwe in the ODI series decider.None

ATLANTA (AP) — Quarterback Carson Beck’s status for No. 2 Georgia’s Sugar Bowl College Football Playoff quarterfinal is uncertain after he suffered an elbow injury in Saturday’s Southeastern Conference championship game win over Texas. Georgia announced Monday there is no timetable on Beck’s return as he and his family explore treatment options. Georgia coach Kirby Smart said Sunday the team was awaiting results of tests. The school did not announce details of the injury in Monday’s announcement. Beck was injured on the final play of the first half in the Bulldogs’ 22-19 overtime win over Texas on Saturday. Beck made a dramatic return to the field for the handoff on the game-winning play. Beck was needed after backup Gunner Stockton had his helmet knocked off, forcing him to leave the game for one play. Beck’s injury was to his right (throwing) arm. Even though he was able to take the snap and hand off to Trevor Etienne for the running back’s decisive 4-yard touchdown run, Beck was unable to raise his right arm. Smart said Sunday that Beck attended the team meeting for the CFP draw announcement. “He was pretty somber,” Smart said. “It was a tough deal for him in terms of not being able to go out there and finish in the second half.” Winnipeg Jets Game Days On Winnipeg Jets game days, hockey writers Mike McIntyre and Ken Wiebe send news, notes and quotes from the morning skate, as well as injury updates and lineup decisions. Arrives a few hours prior to puck drop. Georgia announced punter Brett Thorson will need season-ending surgery after injuring his non-kicking leg against Texas. “Carson and Brett are both fierce competitors and extremely hard workers,” Smart said in a statement released by the school. “I’m confident they will attack their rehab with the same determination they exhibit in their daily habits. We will be here to support them every step of the way.” Stockton would be the likely starter if Beck can’t return for the Jan. 1 Sugar Bowl. Stockton completed 12 of 16 passes for 71 yards with one interception against Texas. ___ Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here.

The actress and comedian, 51, shocked fans last month when she revealed she had been 'bedbound for years' with a chronic illness. Miranda told how she couldn't leave her house for years after undiagnosed Lyme disease developed into chronic fatigue syndrome. The comedian said she eventually “hit rock bottom” when she suffered a total “collapse” after her hit BBC sitcom came to an end in 2015. “I was housebound and bedbound for years,” she said. “I didn’t have a job, I didn’t have a social life. I didn’t have any responsibilities or identities.” The star was spotted sitting in the audience of the BBC show to support Miranda co-star Sarah Hadland during musicals week.

Kendrick Lamar & Mustard Have Another Hit With The Thought-Provoking “Tv Off”

The Ole Miss Rebels can secure a trip to the College Football Playoff and maybe even a trip to the SEC Championship Game if they win their final two games, one of which is tomorrow against Florida. Ahead of the game, one member of the Rebels is already taking shots at the Gators. Video of the Rebels traveling to Gainesville, Florida for tomorrow's game showed that Ole Miss pass rusher Princely Umanmielen was wearing a Florida ski mask. On3 Sports pointed out that Umanmielen transferred to Ole Miss after previously playing for Florida. Ole Miss EDGE Princely Umanmielen is traveling to Gainsville wearing a Florida ski mask💀 Umanmielen transferred from UF in the offseason. (h/t @OleMissNoProb ) https://t.co/G13hXXAREd pic.twitter.com/bXniMsYMjz In four seasons for the Gators, Umanmielen had 99 tackles, 26 tackles for loss and 15.0 sacks in 45 games. Through just nine games in his lone year for the Rebels, he's already achieved nearly half of that production with 12 tackles for loss and 7.5 sacks. It's been a downright great season for the Rebels and Umanmielen has done his part, which included two sacks, two tackles for loss and five tackles in their huge upset win over Georgia two weeks ago. That win over Georgia was arguably the biggest of head coach Lane Kiffin's career and has put the Rebels on the fast track to the College Football Playoff in spite of losses to Kentucky and LSU earlier this year. Icon Sportswire/Getty Images With their final games coming against 5-5 Florida and 2-8 Mississippi State, there's no reason that the Rebels shouldn't win out and finish the season 10-2 with a 6-2 in-conference record. From there, they just have to hope that the dominoes fall in a way that benefits them before the final College Football Playoff team selection is announced. Of course, Florida have shown that they can punch above their weight class a number of times under head coach Billy Napier and could just as easily rain on the Rebels' parade. The game will be played at 12 p.m. ET tomorrow and will air on ABC. Related: The 16 Most Painful College Football Programs To Root For

Yup, I'm just going to keep putting that joke in any time I write about tents, because it never gets old. But your tent will. If you need a new one, there are some good ones on sale. We've spent years testing tents , and many of our favorites are on sale now. REI Co-op Half Dome SL 2+ Tent for $209 (140 off) REI's Half Dome tent series is probably the most popular backpacking tent around. I can't tell you how many of these I've seen on the trail. It's reasonably priced (especially on sale), rugged, simple to set up, and offers generous living space for two with gear. The tent body is made of 40-denier ripstop nylon for durability at the base and on the floor, with 20-denier nylon mesh (both fabrics are Bluesign-approved). It also comes with a footprint, which is a rarity these days. The tent poles are aluminum and interchangeable, which makes them easy to set up and take down. The Copper Spur below is lighter, but with a packed weight of just under 4 pounds, the 2-person Half Dome isn't too heavy when split between two people. MSR Elixir 3-Season Tent (4-Person) for $245 ($165 off) Our favorite lightweight family backpacking tent , the MSR Elixir 4 tent isn't quite as pricey as options like the Big Agnes Copper Spur, but it's not much heavier. I've spent quite a few nights in here with three kids, and there was plenty of interior space. That said, three adults will be more comfortable than four. The mesh at the top provides great ventilation on warm summer nights and the crossover pole helps it stand up well in the wind. The 3-person size is also on sale for $208. Mountain Hardwear Bridger 6-Person Tent for $522 ($427 off) Do you go all out when you go out? No one at our group campsite could believe the size of our Bridger 6, especially since it packs down to around the same size as our four-person MSR Habitude . Even though the assembly is pretty simple and fast. The tent floor is a whopping 90 square feet, big enough to fit two huge air mattresses. The enormous vestibule is another 90 square feet, which is big enough to fit multiple mountain bikes. The full-coverage fly kept us pretty warm while camping with 40-degree nights, but there are also two saloon doors. On lazy days, there’s plenty of room to roll up the doors, admire the lake, and take a nap. — Adrienne So ★ Big Agnes Copper Spur HV UL2 Tent for $265 ($264 off) The Big Agnes Copper Spur series is the king of ultralight tents and this is the absolute lowest price we've seen (which probably means a new model next year). I've used the two-person and four-person models (on sale for $560) over the years, and Big Agnes has continually refined the design to the point that these are pretty near perfect. This is a high-quality, well-designed tent. It's lightweight, easy to set up, and stable even in strong winds. The steep sidewalls give you more livable space than most tents and the “awning” design (with trekking poles or sticks) is great. The only complaint I have is the price, but on sale, it's a little easier to handle. ★ Nemo Dagger Osmo 2P Tent for $371 ($158 off) If I had to pick just one tent to own, this is it. The Dagger Osmo 2P ( 8/10, WIRED Recommends ) is a stout, low-to-the-ground (peak height is 42 inches), incredibly sturdy tent—it holds up well even in high winds (45 mph when I was testing). Pair the sturdiness with large, spacious vestibules and a roomy interior, with excellent stargazing potential thanks to the mesh roof, and you have a great backcountry tent. If you want something roomier, the three-person version is also on sale for $420 ($180 off) . Big Agnes Copper Spur HV UL3 Bikepacking Tent for $441 ($134 off) Bikepacking (backpacking on a bike) is (if it isn't already) the next big thing. Brands like Big Agnes are even designing tents with shorter pole lengths, enabling them to fit between drop handlebars, or in panniers. The Copper Spur UL3 Bikepacking tent is our favorite of the bunch we've tested. It weighs just 3 pounds, 11 ounces (1.6 kilos), and has enough space for two (a squeeze for three). It’s also available in lighter, smaller, one- and two-person options, all with twin vestibules and doors, hidden helmet storage, and external webbing for hanging out wet clothes. Grab yourself one of the hammock-style Gear Lofts ($13) , which create a huge stash space without cluttering the tent floor. Sea to Summit Telos Plus 3-Person Tent for $325 ($325 off) If you like to camp in the fall or spring, then you need a tent that’s a little more robust to keep out the wind, the cold, and the elements. That typically means your tent is heavier and bulkier, but Sea and Summit's new “3-plus season” tent is capable enough in almost any weather while staying crazy light—just 3 pounds and 12 ounces for this three-person model. I used it on a 5-day trip to Loon Lake in northern California in early October, a true “shoulder season” trip with daytime highs in the 80s, nighttime lows in the 40s, and overnight winds of up to 60 mph. My favorite design detail is that the pole bag is kept rigid by an insert of opaque white plastic. Clip it to the tent’s ceiling, pop in your headlamp, and illuminate your abode. — Michael Calore Sea to Summit Alto TR1 for $250 ($250 off) The Alto TR1 is our top pick for lightweight 1-person tents . I'm currently testing the Hilleberg Akto , which I like a little better as an all-around and colder weather solo tent, but the Sea to Summit TR1 is still a great choice if you're primarily in warmer climates. The TR1 did outstanding in our testing on the abrasive volcanic rock and high winds of the north shore of Hawaii, and at this price, you really can't go wrong. All of Sea to Summit's tents are 50 percent off right now . Backpack Deals We've been testing day packs for years, and a few of our favorites are on sale now. Mystery Ranch Coulee 40 Pack for $179 ($60 off) Mystery Ranch's Coulee 30 pack ( 8/10, WIRED Recommends ) is everything you need in a good hiking day pack. This deal is for the slightly larger 40L version, which is the same, just, um, bigger (there are a limited number of the 30L on sale at Public Lands for $113 ($75 off) ). The suspension is cushy and provides a comfortable carry even with heavy loads. Mystery Ranch's Signature Y-shaped zippers offer easy access to all your gear, and there are five externally accessible pockets for things you want close to your hand. The smaller Coulee 20L is also on sale for $135 ($40 off) , though I have not tested that model. Goruck GR1 Rucksack for $292 ($73 off) The Goruck GR1 ( 7/10, WIRED Review ) is my favorite backpack for everything but hiking. (That's when I turn to the Mystery Ranch above, thanks to its nice hip belt.) I've had mine for several years and it looks pretty much like the day I got it. The 1000D cordura resists wear like no other fabric I've used. I fully expect this thing to outlive me. The GR1 has a lot more storage space than it looks like it would, with lots of useful pockets, including a protective laptop compartment. My one gripe is the back packet zipper, which I find difficult to unzip when the pack is full. Otherwise, this is as close to perfect as a pack is likely to get. Goruck GR2 Rucksack for $262 ($113 off) I have just started testing the GR2, which is similar to the GR1, but with some larger options (I have the 34L), and additional pockets that make it good for travel. Like the original, the GR2 is massively overbuilt with 1000D cordura on the back and sides. Like the GR1, this has 210D cordura on the back panel and underside of the shoulder straps, which is a bit softer and easier on those merino T-shirts we love. The GR2 also has two compartments, each with 3 pockets, including a built-in field pocket , all of which adds up to plenty of ways to organize your gear even before you start putting stuff on all that MOLLE webbing. Mountainsmith Tour 9L Lumbar Pack for $67 ($22 off) Our favorite lumbar pack , the Tour is loaded with pockets, which gives you far more stash spaces than would seem possible in a pack this size. We've had no trouble fitting a change of clothes and a couple of meals in here, in addition to the gear you'll need for a full day on the trail or a bike. The 13L version is also on sale for $75 ($25 off) . Deuter Speed Lite 30L Backpack for $113 ($37 off) I own a slightly older version of this Deuter day pack, and the suspension system is so comfortable that I regularly load it with way more than the recommended weight and have had no problems. I found the same to be true of this updated version when I tested it. It's a comfortable, capable day pack, and Deuter's ventilation system is the best I've used. The biggest discount here is only for the yellow pack, but it's a great deal. JanSport Inbound Backpack for $48 ($32 off) Every high school kid has a JanSport. Except for those who just want a JanSport, which was me in high school. I wrote that once and JanSport reached out and ended up sending me the InBound to try. It was as good as it seemed back when in high school. You get a spacious main compartment, side bottle pockets, and an interior padded 15-inch laptop sleeve (that was not a thing when I was in high school). There's also a nice zippered vertical front pocket. This deal is only on the blue color, the others are less of a deal at $72. Deuter Kid Comfort Active Carrier for $203 ($67 off) My kid started his hiking career in this pack, which carried him from the mountains of Colorado to the hot barren mesas of Chaco Canyon. It's not cheap (though this deal takes some of the pain away), but it's well-made, and, most important, stable and comfortable. It's also the easiest kid-hiking-pack to get on and off, which you will inevitably do, a lot. REI Co-op Tarn 40 Kids' Backpack for $65 ($65 off) This internal frame kids served all my children well from the ages of about eight on up to 12. That will of course vary depending on your kid's size and growth rate, but we had two, and one made it through two different kids, so they're pretty durable (my kids typically only spend about a week a year on the trail). There's plenty of storage space and a couple of extra pockets to help organize. We've also used it as a carry-on on several trips. Peak Design 50-L Travel Duffel for $124 ($32 off) The times I want a duffel bag are rare, but they're nice when you're flying a bunch of gear and don't want to pack so much as have a bag swallow your stuff. We'll sort it out at the destination is my motto. In those cases, I like this Peak Design duffel, and its larger cousin, the 80-liter model. They're very well made, with heavy zippers that have never snagged in my testing. You can wear it as a backpack, or use the shoulder strap. REI Co-op Big Haul 28 Duffel for $50 ($50 off) REI's Big Haul Duffel is perfect for getting your gear to where you need it , whether that's a flight to Nepal or a drive to Florida. This bag swallows an impressive amount of stuff and remains comfortable. It's got plenty of straps and handles to help you get everything secured and carry in comfort. This is the smallest bag in the line, but it's still a pretty good size, enough to haul climbing gear for one. Sleeping Bag and Sleeping Pad Deals For more on our favorite sleeping bags, be sure to check out our guides to the best sleeping bags and best sleeping pads , ★ Therm-a-Rest Vesper 32F Quilt for $274 ($156 off) If you're looking for a solid three-season quilt and don't want to pay custom quilt prices, this is our top pick . The top-of-the-line Vesper has everything you could ask for in a lightweight quilt. It weighs less than a pound, and ratcheting down the included comprehension sack will get it to roughly the size of a Nalgene bottle. The 900-fill down insulation (more on fill power here ) was more than toasty enough for nights in the low 40s in the Canadian Rockies. The down is hydrophobic, which means condensation on tent walls shouldn't be an issue. Nemo Disco 15 Endless Promise Sleeping Bag for $180 ($120 off) Our top pick for side sleepers , we love Nemo's Disco 15. This down mummy bag was designed with a "spoon shape" for side sleepers and has a little extra room in the elbows and knees so you can roll over onto your side without feeling like you're slipping into a straight jacket. It's built for temps down to 15 degrees and has zippered gills you can open to avoid overheating in the 40s, though I kept them all closed in the mid-30s and wasn't overly warm. Mountain Hardwear Bishop Pass Gore-Tex 15 Sleeping Bag for $256 ($139 off) The Bishop Pass is our favorite backcountry sleeping bag , this is the Gore-Tex version, which is the same thing, with a Gore-Tex shell. Normally we'd say you don't need it, but at this price, why not? What we love about the Bishop Pass is that strikes the best compromise for most backpackers, being warm enough for the shoulder seasons and light enough (2 pounds, 5.4 ounces) that you won't mind it even when you barely need it in the summer. The lighter, 30-degree model can be had for $146 ($119 off) . Nemo Forte 35F Synthetic Sleeping Bag for $135 ($45 off) Nemo's Forte 20 is a 35-degree synthetic-fill sleeping bag, making it a good choice for summer. I tested the slightly warmer 15F version, which is our favorite synthetic ba g, but aside from fill, the two are the same. What I like most about this bag, and nearly all of Nemo's sleeping bags, is the wider cut through the torso area down to the knees. Like the Therm-a-Rest Questar above, this bag is almost a hybrid of a mummy bag and your father's good old 1970s square sleeping bag. Which is to say, this bag is roomy. Sea To Summit Comfort Plus Si Sleeping Mat for $89 ($79 off) If you want just one pad that's plush enough for car camping yet reasonably lightweight (2 pounds, 2 ounces for the regular size linked here) and small enough for backpacking, this is the pad to get. That's why it's our favorite sleeping pad. There are lighter pads, there are comfier pads, but the Comfort Plus sets itself apart by being able to gracefully slip between those worlds. Deals on Ebikes and Scooters Rad Power Bikes RadRunner 2 for $1,299 ($200 off) Rad Power Bikes is one of the first direct-to-consumer ebike companies, and as such has been the subject of some painful lawsuits as the market has grown. However, it's still a very popular bike, very affordable, and very fun and easy to ride. All of their bikes are on sale but most people seem to ride the basic RadRunner, which is insanely powerful for the price, if a little unwieldy for smaller riders. Aventon Aventure.2 for $1,599 ($400 off) We've tried several Aventon models and appreciate the high level of quality for a relatively low price point (the accessories are better than Lectric's, too). This fat-tire ebike ( 8/10, WIRED Recommends ) is affordable, versatile, and has built-in commuter essentials. We also like the Soltera.2 and the Abound , both of which are on sale. Ride1Up Cafe Cruiser for $1,095 ($300 off) Ride1Up positions the Cafe Cruiser as its light, affordable daily cruiser ( 7/10, WIRED Recommends ) but with a 750W motor and a 65-pound frame, it's pretty big and powerful for an entry-level bike. Still, at this price (and for these specs!) it's a pretty amazing value. GoTrax F2 Folding Ebike for $525 ($280 off) We've tested several GoTrax's escooters but we like the company's folding, step-through ebike as well. It has the usual pitfalls of a cheap folding ebike (heavy, awkward) but it has a decent 20-mile range and all the commuter essentials for well under $1,000. Wing Freedom X for $1,098 ($500 off)—Use Code CYBER This is the affordable, DTC version of the now-defunct VanMoof ( 8/10, WIRED Recommends ). You get a stylish, attractive bike for not a lot of money. All of Wing's bikes are currently on sale. Camping Deals Coleman Cascade 3-in-1 Camp Stove for $157 ($52 off) My favorite of Coleman's current lineup, the Cascade 3-in-1 ( 8/10, WIRED Recommends ) features heavy-duty cast iron, comes with a cast-iron griddle and grill, and can fit a 12-inch pan and a 10-inch pan side by side. It's all-around sturdier and more robust than other Coleman stoves, well worth the extra money if you're serious about camp cooking . NRS Heavy-Duty Straps for 20 Percent off NRS straps are a must-have for anyone strapping ... well, anything to anything. Whether you're a river guide cinching gear to your boat or, like me just want to make sure the paddleboards stay on the Jeep roof, these are the best straps I've ever used. I have NRS straps that are over 30 years old and still going strong. These are rarely on sale too. I find the 1" straps the most useful. You can grab a 2-pack of 6-footers for $13 or a 2-pack of 12-footers for $14 . Kelty Low Loveseat for $78 ($52 off) This chair is the coziest way to hang out around camp. It is somewhat huge, heavy, and awkward to fold up and carry, but it's all worth it once you cram everyone you love on it in front of a fire. The even bigger and more awkward three-person version is also on sale for $108 ($71 off) . Petzl Tikka Headlamp for $26 ($9 off) Our favorite headlamp , I've been using a Tikka for backpacking since 2012, and it's still going strong, which beats every other headlamp or flashlight I've tried in that time. To be fair, the headband gave out long ago, and I replaced it with some shock cord, but the headlamp itself is a testament to Petzl's durability. The Tikka is not the brightest light. The models linked here top out at 350 lumens, but it's plenty of light to cook by in the backcountry or trace the source of that transmission fluid dripping off the oil pan. Don't forget to grab some AAA batteries (we recommend Panasonic Eneloop rechargeable batteries ). Sawyer Micro Squeeze Water Filter for $28 ($5 off) I'm still testing the Sawyer micro squeeze filter, but so far I like it. It's tiny and weighs just 2.5 ounces. It works with a straw or the included pouch, and there's an adapter to fill your hydration reservoir directly (provided it uses the semi-standard 28-mm threads). At this size, you're going to have to back-flush it fairly frequently, but it's great for short trips. For longer hauls, I'd go with the regular size, which is also on sale for $35 ($11 off) . Leatherman, Wave+ Multi-tool for $96 ($25 off) The Leatherman Wave+ is our top pick multi-tool . The tools flip out and retract with just the right mix of smoothness and tension, and the mix of tools here is very useful—two stainless steel knives, one with a straight edge and the other serrated, along with 16 other tools, including a wood-and-metal file, a diamond-coated file, a saw, Phillips screwdriver bits, scissors, an 8-inch ruler, and a wire stripper, as well as a bottle and can opener. LifeStraw Personal Water Filter for $10 ($9 off) If you hike, camp, or have a disaster kit at the ready, a LifeStraw is a good thing to include. It filters contaminated water without batteries or other accessories. Grab a BPA-free bottle to filter into and you'll get out 99.99 percent of waterborne bacteria for up to 1,000 gallons of water. By then you'll have either made it to the survivors' camp in Vermont or the zombies will have won. Deals on Apparel and Rain Jackets REI Co-op Magma 850 Down Hoodie for $149 ($99 off) We're hard at work testing puffer jackets for an upcoming guide, but this REI Magma 850 is an early standout. With an 850-fill-power goose down and a recycled ripstop nylon shell, this is one of the warmer contenders I've used. I like the zippered chest pocket (there are also two zippered hand pockets, one of which the jacket stuffs into), and at 12.5 ounces this jacket is surprisingly light for how warm it is. The front zip has a wind flap, and there's even a draft collar, something you hardly ever find in a puffer at this price. Even better the hood uses an elastic cord in the back that allows you to cinch it down and keep cold air from blowing in the sides. I've worn this in some pretty icy winds coming off Lake Superior I haven't been anything but warm. REI Co-op 650 Down Jacket for $90 ($39 off) Our favorite bargain puffer jacket, the REI 650 Down Jacket isn't as warm as the Magma above, but it's hard to argue with this price. If you need a cheap, packable jacket for those cold summits or star gazing on chilly nights, this is the jacket to get. The stiched-through baffles mean this one isn't as warm and is more susceptible to wind, but at this price, it's worth buying. REI Co-op 650 Down Vest for $70 ($30 off) If you want to go even lighter, the 650 Down Vest is the same as the jacket above, minus the arms. Provided you have a good base layer on your arms, a vest is the way to go for more active pursuits. I use a vest for all but the coldest weather since my arms rarely get cold and I prefer to have an increased range of motion. Fjallraven Expedition Pack Down Hoodie for $196 ($84 off) This is another very nice down jacket, well, technically a hybrid fill jacket. Fjallraven uses 700-fill-power down for most of the jacket but adds synthetic recycled polyester insulation over the shoulders to help resist moisture. This is a mid-layer jacket where I live, but it does have a nylon shell that resists wind and water if you're wearing it as an outer layer. The hood does a good job of keeping you warm while staying out of your way thanks to two drawcord tabs at the front, and an elastic drawcord at the back. Darn Tough Merino Wool Socks for 25 Percent off Darn Tough makes our favorite Merino wool socks . Just about all varieties are on sale, but if you don't know where to start I like these Midweight Hiking Socks for $22 ($7 off) for cooler adventures in fall and spring. Prana Heavana Leggings for $53 ($36 off) Prana is having a bonkers sale right now, offering 40 percent off certain styles. Reviewer Nena Farrell and I are both fans and have recommended Prana leggings in our Gifts for Mom guide. The fabric is ridiculously soft and thin, especially if you like hot yoga. The Halle Pants are also my go-to climbing and hiking pants. —Adrienne So Branwyn Merino Bralette for $36 ($12 off) The Branwyn bra is in our essential guide to merino wool , but I like it enough that I wrote a whole separate rave about it. Merino wool is a miracle fiber—it’s renewable, odor-resistant, regulates your temperature and doesn’t leave you with a terminal case of swamp booty should you choose to jump in a river with your hiking clothes on. What’s not to like? Everything at Branwyn is 25 percent off through Cyber Monday. —Adrienne So Smartwool Merino Base Layer Crew for $86 ($34 off) Base layers are the perfect place for merino wool , and this is our top-pick merino base layer . The softness of this Smartwool shirt is hard to beat, and the 100 percent merino means you get all of the temperature-regulating, odor-resisting goodness of wool without any synthetic fibers to drag it down. Huckberry Flint and Tinder Waxed Canvas Jacket for $304 ($54 off) I am a waxed canvas convert. It's not breathable, and it can be heavy so it's not necessarily the best when you're heading into the backcountry, but if you want to say dry, it beats everything else I've tried. It also looks a lot better. This waxed canvas jacket from Huckberry is far and away the most stylish thing on this page and the wool lining means you'll stay warm and dry. I have the flannel-lined version and wish I had the wool. Don't be me, get the wool version. La Sportiva Tarantulace Climbing Shoes for $67 ($22 off) It's winter, and it's getting colder. That means you're probably heading to the climbing gym . These are some of the most comfortable and cheapest climbing shoes around, so they're great for all-day wear, or beginners whose feet haven't entirely converted into calloused toe claws. Hoka Speedgoat 5 Trail Running Shoes for $125 ($30 off) The Hoka Speedgoats are our favorite trail running shoes , which makes sense since the company started off making trail running shoes. It's roomy in the toes for long runs and has a durable Vibram outsole, and it's noticeably lighter than previous Speedgoat models. —Adrienne So Altra Outroad 2 Trail Running Shoes for $85 ($55 off) This is my favorite running shoe. Altra's shoes have a roomy toe box and are zero drop, which means that they're flat—the heels are not higher than the toes. which improves your posture and strengthens your lower leg. The Outroads are designed for both trails and roads. This is a very good all-in-one shoe over a variety of terrain. —Adrienne So Stance Dimensions Crew Socks (3 Pairs) for $33 ($22 off) I bought these running socks earlier this year to replenish my stock, and I'm now going to buy more because this is an unbelievable deal. These are great for winter running—synthetic quick-dry fibers are good for the rain, and the crew height keeps wet mud and dirt from sliding in next to my skin. —Adrienne So Rab Glaceon Pro Women's Down Jacket for $255 Rab's Glaceon Pro is an early front-runner in our hoodie testing (guide coming soon). It's the warmest of the bunch of tried, especially for how small it packs down. The ripstop nylon shell is reasonably tough (my puppy has failed to rip it) and windproof. It'll hold off a drizzle pretty well, but anything more than that and you'll want to pull out a shell. I like the adjustability of the hood and the two-way front zipper for accessing a climbing harness when you're wearing one. Outdoor Research Foray II Men's Rain Jacket for $135 ($90 off) I tested this jacket all summer and into the fall (admittedly, one of the driest ever where I live), and it's performed incredibly well. I've twice had it in significant downpours and not had it wet through and the size zippers give you great ventilation options. The entire jacket is seam-taped, adding to the waterproofing, and the stretchiness of the shell fabric is great for a large range of motion when you're hiking with a pack on. The only downside is that it weighs 15.3 ounces, which is on the heavy side. Deals on Cameras and Drones When you're getting after it outdoors, these cameras and drones will help save the memories. GoPro Hero 13 Black Action Camera $340 ($60 off) GoPro's new Hero 13 ( 7/10, WIRED Recommends ) is a fantastic action camera. The Hero 13 features a new interchangeable lens system, with Macro, Ultra Wide, and Anamorphic lenses, plus a set of four neutral density filters (all sold separately). The Hero 13 Black even autodetects which lens is attached and changes settings accordingly. It's a slick, if expensive, system, but this deal at least saves you some cash on the base camera, which you can put toward an extra lens. Except the Anamorphic, which won't be available until 2025. GoPro Hero 12 Black Action Camera for $296 ($103 off) This deal has been running since the new Hero 13 Black launched earlier this year, and if you have the extra $40 to spare, I highly recommend the Hero 13 over the 12. But if you're on a tight budget, or don't have any interest in the interchangeable lenses, the Hero 12 uses the same sensor and makes a great action cam . DJI Air 3 Drone for $879 ($220 off) The DJI Air 3 ( 9/10, WIRED Recommends ) remains one of our favorite drones , despite the brand new Air 3S. The new Air 3S brings larger sensors, which do improve the video a bit, but the Air 3 is still a fantastic dual-camera drone and, at this price, a better value than the new Air 3S. DJI Osmo Action 4 Standard Combo for $209 ($90 off) The Osmo Action 4 has been surpassed by the new Osmo Action 5 , but the Action 4 ( 8/10, WIRED Recommends ) is still a fantastic action camera, especially at this price. The magnetic mounting system is great, the menu system makes switching between modes a snap, and the resulting photos and video are excellent. Insta360 Ace Pro Action Camera for $300 ($50 off) Insta360's Ace Pro was just replaced by the new Ace Pro 2 , but this is a good deal on what is still a great camera. Capable of recording up to 8K 24 fps, with solid stabilization, good color handling, and a Leica lens to boot, there's a lot to love here, especially for only $300. That said unless you think you're going to use the 8K (which is only usable in still shots, not action footage), the Osmo Action 4 deal above is a better value. Insta360 X4 360 Camera for $425 ($75 off) Our favorite 360 camera, Insta360's X4 ( 9/10, WIRED Recommends ), features a 1/2-inch sensor capable of 8K video, which is as high-resolution as you can get in a 360-degree camera. The 8K resolution means you can reframe your footage to fit rectangular video formats and still have high-quality clips sharp enough to mix with other sources. It doesn’t reframe to 4K (you'll have to wait for 12K footage before that's possible), but it's good enough for anything you'd put on social media. Other Great Outdoor Deals ★ Firebox G2 Stainless Steel Wood Stove for $65 ($10 off) I love my Firebox stove . There are fewer and fewer places you can use these thanks to backcountry burn bans, but when you can, there's nothing like cooking real food over an open flame after a long day's hike. The Firebox is a stainless steel box you can fold up to be flat for easy packing. Most of the company's stoves are on sale right now, but the G2 is the best for most people. If you regularly cook for larger groups, the best option is the Freestyle Everything Kit for $120 ($74 off) . Solo Bonfire Essential Bundle 2.0 for $280 ($50 off) The Solo Stove Bonfire 2.0 is our top pick for backyard fire pits . At 19.5 inches wide and 15 inches tall, it’s small enough to toss in the trunk and lug to the beach or a tailgate but big enough to gather a group of a half-dozen friends around without feeling like you’re sitting around a Sterno can. Made from stainless steel, it weighs about 25 pounds. This deal is on the bundle, which gets you the firepit, lid, stand, and handy carrying bag. If you want something bigger, the Yukon is also on sale for $580 ($70 off) . BioLite FirePit+ for $187 ($62 off) Our pick for the best hibachi grill and fire pit , Biolite's FirePit+ is a sleek, portable, mesh box with removable legs, a hibachi-style grill, and an ash bin. It has a rechargeable 10,400 mAh battery that can power 51 air jets for up to 26 hours. This allows you to precisely control the flame, and to some extent, the heat of the fire. It’s Bluetooth-compatible so you can tweak the airflow—and how high the flames go—on your phone. The FirePit+ can burn charcoal or wood and, thanks to the fans, you don't need a charcoal chimney and you'll never struggle to get a fire burning. Garmin InReach Mini 2 Satellite Communicator for $300 ($100 off) Garmin's InReach Mini is the satellite communicator in the ultralight and backpacking worlds. It's tiny, weighs a mere 3.5 ounces, and uses the super-fast Iridium satellite network, so you can send a rapid SOS from pretty much anywhere, even the middle of the Indian Ocean. It can also do more mundane things like allow friends and family to track daily progress via a real-time map. As you would expect, it plays nicely with compatible Garmin watches. Garmin Forerunner 255 for $250 ($100 off) The Garmin Forerunner 255 ( 8/10, WIRED Recommends ) is aimed at runners and triathletes, with plenty of mileage and stats available for running and swimming. There are also pretty solid sleep-tracking features and the battery life is great. The Forerunner generally knew what I was doing, logging pushups, walking, running, and resting without issue. It's particularly well-suited to interval training thanks to the automatic detection. Fitbit Charge 6 for $100 ($50 off) The Fitbit Charge 6 ( 7/10, WIRED Recommends ) tops our guide to the best fitness trackers thanks to the perfect balance of attractiveness, affordability, accessibility, and ease of use. Google’s takeover has led to several smart integrations with Google Maps, Google Wallet, and YouTube Music Premium. This tracker can keep tabs on your skin temperature, 24/7 heart rate, activities, and sleep schedule. You can also expect week-long battery life, but the best features still require the $10/month Fitbit Premium subscription. — Simon Hill Garmin Instinct 2 for $300 ($100 off) This is still the watch I would wear if I didn’t have to test other fitness trackers —and I’m not the only one, because Garmin’s Instinct line is one of the company’s most popular. It has all the backcountry capabilities of the higher-end Fenix and Epix lines, but it’s more affordable because it ditches the fancy screen. The Instinct 2 Solar’s battery life lasted almost three weeks when I tested it in Hawaii, where I used it to keep track of everything from trail runs to keeping me oriented toward the beach when snorkeling. — Adrienne So Rocky Talkie 5-Watt Two Radios for $288 ($72 off) WIRED reviewer Adrienne So reviewed the 2-watt version of these bulletproof walkie-talkies ( 8/10, WIRED Review ), and Gear Team director Martin Cizmar, has been testing this version, which has more than twice the power and promises a half-mile of carry-in even the least advantageous of environments (and up to 35 miles when circumstances are right). They’ve got USB-C charging and IP56 water resistance and the signal has been clear and strong in our testing. This is the first time the 5-watt version of the Rocky Talkie radio has ever been on sale. Isle Switch 3 Inflatable Paddleboard and Kayak for $695 ($300 off) The Isle Switch 3 is by far my favorite inflatable that I have tested. Do you want to paddle out in glassy, still water and lie on your belly with your dog and watch fish? Then it’s a big, solid, stable paddleboard with a grippy, soft surface perfect for puppy paws. Is there a bit of a breeze and you want to put the full force of your paddling muscles in play? Slip the hooks into the eyes and tighten the straps to put on a big, comfy seat and foot brace. (I used mine as a seat for the kids behind me.) Even the paddle converts from an SUP paddle to a kayak paddle. I can’t believe I’ve never tried one of these before. This deal includes a free electric pump. —Adrienne So ★ Bote Breeze Aero Inflatable Paddle Board for $489 ($80 off) The Breeze Aero ( 7/10, WIRED Recommends ) inflatable paddleboard is well-built and durable, and it packs up reasonably small. It's also one of the stablest paddleboards I've tried, making it a good choice for beginners. It's easy to unpack and easy to use. Inflating is something of a chore with the hand pump, but once it's deflated, it's not hard to stow it away again. This deal is on the 11'6" model (which supports up to 355 pounds). Oru Beach LT Folding Kayak for $959 ($240 off) It's been a while since we tested an Oru, but every time we have we've loved them. These clever kayaks fold up like origami, packing down to the size of a small suitcase. Most weigh around 25 pounds and they're all on sale . The Beach LT is in the middle of the lineup, both in terms of size and price. It's a bit wider than some models, making it more stable and giving you a spacious cockpit that's more beginner-friendly. —Adrienne So Yeti 1000X Portable Power Station for $500 ($400 off) Goal Zero's Yeti 1000X is a good choice for off-grid camping. It's got enough power to recharge all your devices for a week or more, as well as power smaller appliances like a portable fridge. It offers a 60-watt USB-C power delivery port, two USB-A ports, a 12-volt port, and two 120-volt AC ports (1,500 watts, 3,000 watts surge). You can pair it with some solar panels if you're going to be off-grid for longer periods of time. Peak Design Out Front Bike Mount V2 for $56 ($14 off) I recently stopped putting my phone on my handlebars when I ride, but when I did this was by far the best mount I ever used. It uses Peak Design's SlimLink magnetic mounting system, which is super strong and easy to take on and off, just press the button, and your phone releases. It'll fit a large range of handlebars and can go out front as the name implies, but also below or behind if you want to position it differently. The only catch is you need to use Peak Design's phone case for this to work.
