Clear Crossbody Purse Bag
If you’ve attended a sporting match, concert or any event in a stadium or arena in the last several years, then you’re well aware of the clear-bag policy most venues have adopted. An effort to reduce security risks, clear bags are perhaps the only way you can comfortably hold on to personal items like a wallet, phone, sanitizer essentials and more. And this top-rated tote is on sale for just $15!
Gushed one fan: “Great size, great materials used, excellent purchase and would recommend to anyone who is looking for a clear bag. The bag has enough room to carry your phone, glasses, ID, money, and some makeup. Wished I would have found this company and bag sooner. Can’t go wrong with this purchase and the price is so cheap.”$15 $19 at Amazon
LifeStraw Personal Water Filter
Currently just $15 (down from $30), the LifeStraw turns just about any type of water drinkable. The straw contains a microfiltration membrane that removes 99.999999 percent of waterborne bacteria (including E. coli and salmonella) and 99.999 percent of waterborne parasites (including giardia and cryptosporidium). The filter also removes the smallest microplastics found in the environment and reduces turbidity down to 0.2 microns.
“I am going to keep this one simple. Recently I got stranded in the backwoods of the Adirondack Mountains. I had run out of water earlier on the first day and used this until I was rescued on the morning of day three. THIS WORKS, this helped save my life. If you hike YOU NEED THIS PRODUCT,” said one Amazon shopper.$15 $30 at Amazon
Postropaky Ski & Hiking Pants
Made of wear-resistant stretchy spandex waterproof coating, these pants repel water, rain, snow, and oil stains with ease.

All four colors — gray (shown), red, black and blue — are on sale with the on-page clippable couple.
“I am so glad I ordered these,” said a happy customer. “…The water falls off. The fit is amazing! The pockets are great. I love everything about these pants. I got them for fishing and kayaking and can’t wait to use them more!”$40 $45 at Amazon
The Hot Seat Heated Portable Chair
This heated seat is something of a marvel. It holds up to 300 pounds, heats up to 110 degrees and has three reclining positions. Add in front and pack pockets and carrying case, you can haul this chair anywhere.
Writes one satisfied customer: “I’m a camper and RVer and use a lot of camp chairs. This is the sturdiest and most comfortable chair I’ve ever purchased. The frame is very sturdy and the material is also very durable. All you need for the heater is one of those inexpensive portable battery packs that you use to charge your cell phone (even a small battery will power it for hours). The seat heats up really fast and there are 3 heat settings. I’m going to buy a second one for our RV because I’m sure we’ll be fighting over who gets to sit in this on cold nights. It’s also super easy to fold up and slide into the carrying case. Great product!”$119 $140 at Amazon
Vinsguire Ab Roller
The Vinsguire Ab Roller wheel is 3.2 inches wide — wide enough to stay centered and ensure balance and stability. Because it’s rubber, it won’t damage your floors. It also has soft rubber cotton handles, so you can focus more on engaging your core than your grip slipping. There’s even a knee pad, so you’re good to go even if you don’t have a mat.
“I bought this product to tone my upper half. It’s very lightweight. Very easy to use. It was very simple to put together. All in all, I really like it,” raved one buyer. “The knee pad is perfect. I put it right on the carpet for extra protection. You can feel it working immediately. I can’t wait to see results.”$22 $30 at Amazon
Brave Heart Dumbbell Set
Weights strewn across your den, basement or garage floor are an accident waiting to happen — a stubbed toe, twisted ankle or worse. This pyramid of dumbbells brings safety and organization to your regimen. You can gradually build strength over time, advancing from the lighter weights to the heavier ones.
“Perfect for beginning weight lifters!! I love the set! Colors are nice and weights are very easy to handle,” said a reviewer.$190 $259 at Amazon
Marcy MD-2082W Diamond Elite MD Weight Bench

A thrilled workout enthusiast wrote: “I’m not a professional weightlifter, but this has been perfect for my day-to-day needs. It’s fairly easy to set up, and it does what I need it to do. I would recommend this to anyone looking for an introductory tool for getting in shape.”$200 $400 at Amazon
Gaiam Essentials Thick Yoga Mat
Gaiam has long been a trusted brand for quality yoga products. This thicker mat has non-slip ridges for great traction, plus a carrying strap to sling across your shoulder when leaving class. And the price can’t be beat!
“It’s a really nice mat and you can’t beat the price,” says one shopper. “It is long and very soft, which I personally like. I am older and wanted some extra cushion for my knees and elbows. I can see where it would throw balance off a bit due to this softness, but I look at it as pushing me harder to keep my balance. A great mat that I would recommend.”$19 $21 at Amazon
Gonex Pickleball Set
This set comes with two regulation-size pickleballs, paddles and a carrying case. The set has sweat absorption and cushioning handles for a better paddle grip, ensuring you won’t get tired after an afternoon of playing.
Wrote one satisfied customer: “Pickleball has become very popular and so I decided to join in the fun! I have always used very cheap wooden paddles, then I decided to buy these, and I love them. In the first week, I used them 3 times and they work great. They are lightweight and very easy to handle. Not to mention, the design is awesome!”undefined at Amazon
Lifepro 15lb Adjustable Dumbbell Set
With wooden anti-slip handles for a good grip, these smaller LifePro weights feel secure in the hand. If you’re looking to build muscle but don’t need anything too heavy, this is an ideal choice.
“These are by far the coolest, easiest to use and [easiest to] store dumbbell set we have ever run across,” a happy customer reports. “Our old set took up so much room, [with] each weight amount on different bars. This is not only a space-saver but [makes it] easy to adjust between weights. The lever is easy to move and snaps right into place. The base holds whatever isn’t in use with individual slots so they don’t fall over. Very nice for at-home use and storage.”$140 with coupon $180 at Amazon
