Best Amazon Prime Day Editor-tested Deals 2024

As the testing editor at Travel + Leisure, I coordinate tests to find the best travel gear. Our team is constantly testing luggage pieces, backpacks, comfortable travel clothing and shoes, camping gear, headphones, and other travel accessories that can help make your next getaway the best it can be — because who wants to spend a week with a suitcase that’s going to bust open or shoes that give them blisters? We hit suitcases with baseball bats to test durability, walk miles in different types of shoes to make sure they’re comfortable, try on headphones to make sure they’re noise-canceling, and more.

Right now for Amazon Prime Day, some of our favorite products from these tests are marked down. I combed through our lists to find the best Amazon Prime Day deals featuring products tested and approved by our T+L editors. Whether you’re looking to score a new luggage set, a versatile backpack, a reliable rain jacket, earbuds for your next flight, or some solid beach gear, check out some of the top Prime Day travel deals.

Best Editor-tested Deals Overall

Samsonite Freeform Hardside Expandable 2-piece Set

It’s safe to say we’ve tested quite a few different luggage brands, and Samsonite is our top choice thanks to reliable performance and a price point for everyone. This particular two-piece luggage set earned the top spot out of the many sets we’ve tested, proving to be lightweight, spacious, and easy to maneuver. The set comes with a carry-on and a checked suitcase, both of which are expandable to give you extra packing space when you need it. Prime members can get the black or mint green set for only $220 — it’s pretty rare to find such high-quality luggage for about $110 per suitcase!

Solo Re:Define Laptop Backpack

We’ve tested 158 different backpacks in the T+L lab, and this one is among our favorites for toting around laptops, carrying during commutes, and using as a personal item. It’s spacious without being bulky and is packed with useful travel features, including water-resistant material, a pocket for a portable charger, a built-in USB port, and external water bottle pouches. The black design is on sale for 40 percent off, meaning you can get this practical bag for only $50 right now.

Bose QuietComfort Wireless Earbuds II

Comfortable headphones are a must for long flights, and out of the 53 pairs of headphones and earbuds we’ve tested, these Bose earbuds are at the top of our list. We love that you can switch between “aware mode” when you want to hear what’s going on in the background and “quiet mode” when you want to tune everything out. You don’t have to pay full price because you can save over $100 if you get them during the Prime Day sales.

Best Editor-tested Luggage Deals

If you’ve had luggage on your wish list for ages, you might as well buy it while it’s on sale. I scoured the T+L luggage tests to pick out some of the best deals on top-rated brands like Samsonite, Travelpro, Delsey, and more. Get Samsonite luggage for up to 55 percent off, shave 30 percent off a stylish Delsey Trunk, or save $50 on our favorite Bellroy Weekender. Here you’ll save money on carry-ons, checked suitcases, trunks, duffels, backpacks, and garment bags.

Samsonite Underseat Carry-On Spinner

If you don’t already have an underseater in your luggage lineup, we love this 36-liter Samsonite bag for its compact size — you can store it in an overhead bin on a flight, or as the name suggests, you can even fit it underneath an airplane seat. During testing, we thought the laptop sleeve and the built-in USB port were especially useful if you’re traveling with electronic devices for work or school. You can get it in an eggplant purple or ocean blue color for under $100.

Delsey Paris Cruise 3.0 Hardside Expandable Trunk

If you prefer to check a bag, this Delsey trunk is an excellent value for the price, especially when you can save 30 percent. It has a spacious 90-liter capacity and a built-in weight indicator that turns red if the trunk is over 50 pounds, which helps you avoid overweight luggage fees before you’re standing at the check-in counter (no more frantically opening your suitcase to take things out last-minute — mortifying). This was one of our favorite trunks we’ve tested, proving to be lightweight and durable, even when we hit it with a baseball bat. It’s available in two sophisticated colors for $168 each.

Thule Chasm Wheeled Duffel 

If you ever travel with bulky gear like sports equipment, a rolling duffel is your best bet to accommodate oddly shaped items. We loved this bag during testing for exactly that reason; it has one giant main compartment that can fit large items without any dividers or panels getting in the way. The bag is quite large but also has some smaller pockets on the top and lid to keep smaller items organized and secure. Grab it now to save $100.

Best Editor-tested Apparel Deals

Our T+L team has tested many types of apparel on a quest to find the best travel clothing, whether cozy pants and compression socks for long flights or packable jackets and hiking outfits for outdoor adventures. There are some wild deals for Amazon Prime Day, including 78 percent off the supportive Panache Anya Riva Balconnet Underwire One Piece Swimsuit, 40 percent off the Marmot Precip Eco Full-zip Pants, and even some mind-blowing deals on jackets and coats. You may not be thinking of heavy coats right now, but summer is actually the best time to buy them, when you can save 50 percent on a Mountain Hardwear Men’s StretchDown Parka, up to 41 percent (depending on size and color) on the Ugg Cropped Puffer Jacket, and $180 off a Rab Men’s Neutrino Pro Down Jacket.

• Columbia Benton Springs Jacket, $27 (originally $65)

• Mountain Hardwear Men’s StretchDown Parka, $170 (originally $340)

Panache Anya Riva Balconnet Underwire One Piece Swimsuit

Swimsuits are one of the more difficult things to buy online, so we had multiple team members test each bathing suit to ensure it provided support, comfort, and full mobility. Out of the 18 one-pieces we tested, we found this Panache swimsuit to be the most supportive, though it’s designed with fuller busts in mind (sizing ranges from 30D to 40K). This full-coverage one-piece has adjustable double straps so you can loosen or tighten the top for a better fit. This is one of the steepest Prime Day discounts we’ve seen so far — it’s on sale for 78 percent off (the largest discount on this list). 

Cozy Earth Bamboo Jogger Pants

Joggers are a versatile choice for travel, and while they sometimes look very sporty, this pair from Cozy Earth earned a spot as the most stylish out of the 37 pairs we tested. We found them flattering, comfortable, and breathable, and they’re a bit dressier than your average sweatpants so you can look more put together on travel days. Though these are among the pricier options on our list of the best joggers, the good news is that all three colors are on sale for 20 percent off, so now would be the perfect time to snag them.

Marmot Precip Eco Full-zip Pants

We tested 17 pairs of hiking pants for men on many different trails and in hikes all different weather conditions. I would argue that these Marmot pants are one of the most vital options on our list because they’re waterproof and will keep you dry — which is why we concluded they were the best for rain. They have full-length zippers on each leg and an elastic waist for pulling them over your hiking boots. You can save 40 percent off the original price for Amazon Prime Day.

Best Editor-tested Comfy Shoe Deals

Shoes that give you blisters or foot pain can put a damper on any trip, especially if you plan on walking a lot. Footwear is one of our most popular testing categories at T+L, and we’ve tested everything from sandals and sneakers to water shoes and hiking boots to find the most comfortable shoes. I sorted through dozens of footwear tests to find out which of our winners happens to be marked down, including 34 percent off the Ecco Yucatan Sandal, up to 35 percent off the Chaco Men’s Zcloud Sandal, and 50 percent off the Dr. Scholl’s Madison Slip-on Sneaker. 

• Chaco Women’s Z/Cloud X2 Outdoor Sandal, $56 (originally $100)
• Clarks Womens Breeze Sea Sandals, $30 (originally $55)
• Ecco Yucatan Sandal, $92 (originally $140)
• Frank Mully Round Toe Ballet Flats, $40 (originally $50)
• Dr. Scholl’s Madison Slip-on Sneaker, $40 (originally $80)
• Rykä Devotion X, $80 (originally $110)
• Merrell Speed Eco, $84 (originally $100)

• Doussprt Men’s Quick-drying Water Shoes, $28 (originally $50)
• Columbia Newton Ridge Plus Waterproof Hiking Boots, $70 (originally $100)

Merrell Speed Eco

The Merrell Speed Eco is our favorite hiking shoe for women, and certain sizes are on sale for Amazon Prime Day. We wore these shoes for over five months and loved how comfortable they were straight out of the box, how breathable they felt even in the scorching Arizona heat, and how the grippy outsole kept us stable on uneven, rocky terrain.

Dr. Scholl’s Madison Slip-on Sneaker

Slip-on shoes are so helpful when you’re rushing through airport security and need to get your sneakers on and off quickly without holding up the line. We tested 20 pairs of slip-on sneakers and loved these Dr. Scholl’s kicks for their memory foam midsole and generous arch support. There are tons of different colorways, many of which are on sale for $40 on Amazon.

Chaco Men’s Zcloud Sandal

When we tested men’s sandals for comfort, fit, durability, and value, we found these Chaco hiking sandals to have some of the best arch support and reliable, grippy soles. Aside from hiking, they’re also a great option for water sports and beach days. Get the navy color for 30 percent off.

Best Editor-tested Tech Deals

The latest tech can make your trip that much better, whether it’s noise-canceling headphones that help you sleep on a flight, a portable speaker for bike-ride or beach-day tunes, or a reliable adapter for international getaways. Some of the best Prime Day headphone deals will save you around $100 on Apple AirPods Max, Sennheiser Wireless Headphones, and Bose Wireless Earbuds. You can also score deals on one of our favorite luggage trackers — an Apple AirTag 4-pack — and portable speakers from Ultimate Ears and JBL.

• Apple AirPods Max, $430 (originally $550)
• Bose QuietComfort Wireless Earbuds II, $170 (originally $279)
• Sennheiser Consumer Audio Momentum 4 Wireless Headphones, $250 (originally $380)
• Soundcore by Anker Space A40 Auto-adjustable Active Noise-canceling Wireless Earbuds, $59 (originally $80)
• XGIMI MoGo 2 Portable Projector, $300 (originally $399)
• Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 3 Portable Wireless Bluetooth Speaker, $67 (originally $100)
• JBL Clip 4 Eco Ultra-portable Waterproof and Dustproof Bluetooth Speaker, $49 (originally $80)
• Apple AirTag 4-pack, $89 (originally $99)
• Jarvania European Travel Plug Adapter, $13 (originally $19)
• Aquasonic Vibe Series Ultra-whitening Electric Toothbrush, $40 (originally $50)

Apple AirTag 4-pack

Putting a luggage tracker in your suitcase is one of my top travel hacks, and you’d probably agree if you’ve ever had an airline lose your baggage. We tested eight different tracking devices from trusted tech brands, and the Apple AirTag was one of our favorites. You can pair the quarter-size device to an iPhone and track it along its journey (with no subscription fees like some other brands), and you can change the name of the devices if you pair more than one. I’ve personally bought this four-pack before, and when you get it on sale, the AirTags are around $22 each — a better deal than buying just one.

Sennheiser Consumer Audio Momentum 4 Wireless Headphones

These Sennheiser wireless headphones were our top over-the-ear pick for most comfortable headphones. We especially loved the impressive, 60-hour battery life, the longest of all the headphones we tested — great for long travel days and international trips. They come with a carry case, a USB-C charging cable, audio cable jacks, and an airplane adapter. Get them at a fraction of the usual price to save $130 during Amazon Prime Day.

Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 3 Portable Wireless Bluetooth Speaker 

Our team took nearly a dozen portable speakers outside, on hiking trails, poolside, and more, to find the best ones based on ease of use, range, sound quality, battery life, and portability. The Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 3 was our favorite for its durable and waterproof design. All four color options on Amazon are on sale.

Best Editor-tested Outdoor Gear Deals

Summer is the best time of the year for getting outside, whether you’re hiking, camping, or heading to the beach, and we’ve tested a ton of gear for all those activities. We’ve set up hammocks to see how stable they are, hauled beach wagons over sand, lit camping lanterns in the dark, and toasted s’mores over portable fire pits. You can do the same if you take advantage of these stellar Prime Day deals, including 35 percent off the Oileus XL Beach Tent, 48 percent off the Heininger Portable Propane Gas Fire Pit, and 30 percent off the Yellow Leaf Handwoven Hammock.

Yellow Leaf Handwoven Hammock

Beyond the backyard, hammocks are great for naps and overnights while hiking, camping, and more. We tested 21 hammocks in various settings, such as local parks, campsites, and national forests, naming this Yellow Leaf hammock the most comfortable of all. It comfortably fits two people (up to 400 pounds) and is breathable enough to feel a breeze through. The soft material holds up well over time and is resistant to mold and mildew. There are 13 gorgeous color options, all of which are on sale for 30 percent off.

Oileus XL Beach Tent

Beach canopies are a great way to elevate your seaside experience, giving you a place to hang out with privacy walls, rain covers, and pockets for storage. The Oileus Beach Tent was one of our top choices out of 20 we tested, and you can get one of your own for as much as 35 percent off on the orange color or just a few dollars more for four other colorways. It has a UPF of 50+, and unlike many other beach tents, it has a ground sheet that extends beyond its frame to keep sand out of the tent and give you more room to stretch out. 

Pelican Dayventure Backpack Soft Cooler

Backpack coolers are a versatile option to carry food and drinks for a camping trip or beach day, and the best ones have padded straps, don’t leak at all, and keep their contents chilled. This Pelican cooler stood out during testing for its dual compartments, with separate top and bottom sections that make it easy to store different types of food and beverages. You can save $24 on this extremely durable backpack cooler for Amazon Prime Day.
