With deals popping up already for Black Friday, I’ve found some of the best Walmart deals, including massive bargains on kayaks, VHF radios, and pocket knives. Our team has tested many of these products, so we know they are worth the money.
\nThe Intex Explorer K2
\nBlack Friday 2024 is on its way, and shoppers can land some real Black Friday Walmart deals. It\u2019s no secret that in recent years, big retailers have used various shady tactics to make discounts falsely seem better or sell old stock.
\nOur team spends the whole of Black Friday and the week before price checking and monitoring deals pricing to ensure they\u2019re genuine. We do a lot of gear testing, led by our experienced Tech Editor,Fox Morgan, so we can find the best Walmart deals.
\nEven though we are still a little way off the big day itself, there are already offers for Black Friday on dry bags, and there will no doubt be plenty more to come.
\nDon\u2019t forget, if you want to get the best prices on Amazon, you\u2019ll have to be an Amazon Prime member \u2013 if you aren\u2019t already, you can sign up for a 30-day free trial.

\tStandard Horizon HX890 VHF handheld radio was \u00a3279.99, n0w \u00a3232.99
\nWith features like a large screen, built-in GPS receiver and DSC capability and great battery life, it\u2019s easy to see why this is one of our Tech Editor Fox Morgan\u2019s top VHS choices. In fact, Fox gave it a full five-star rating.
\nShe said, \u2018Overall the Standard Horizon HX890 handheld VHF is well laid out and easy to operate. The menu is easy to navigate and the Emergency distress button is easy to locate on the rear and can be activated single handed.
\n\u2018I got 27 hours from this on standby monitoring VTS ch12 in a busy Southampton shipping port and the clarity of the speaker even when turned up to max, though not the loudest in our test group, was excellent.\u2019<\/p>\n

\tIsle Switch Hybrid Kayak Stand-up Paddleboard, was \u00a3995.00, n0w \u00a3695.00
\nDigital Editor and tester Toby Heppell said, \u2018I\u2019ve tested this boat over 2024, so I can vouch for the build quality. It\u2019s neither the best paddleboard nor the best kayak on the market, but there\u2019s nothing out there I\u2019ve tested that does as good a job of both together.\u2019<\/p>\n

\tIntex Explorer K2 2-person inflatable kayak set with oars and pump was \u00a3179.89, n0w \u00a3125.75
\nOur yachting journalist Drew Maglio tested a similar kayak by Intex, saying, \u2018Both streamlined and stable, I have kayaked the Challenger K2 with another paddler up to 2.5 miles to two offshore islands in the Florida Keys on one occasion.
\n\u2018While these are far from turbid waters, it does demonstrate how capable the Challenger K2 is, as the inflatable kayak kept pace with multiple two-occupant plastic rental kayaks while also being much more stable and forgiving than its rigid counterpart.\u2019
\nAt the time of writing, this 2-person kayak has an average 4.4 star rating across 405 reviews.<\/p>\n

\tVictorinox 18 Function Pocket Knife, was \u00a379.95, n0w \u00a355.00
\nWhile we haven\u2019t tested this particular pocket knife, our Tech Editor, Fox Morgan, has tested the similar Victorinox Skipper Pro and loves it. She said, \u2018This Victorinox has been by my side for years and got me out of some scrapes as well as helped me to fix a few things on the go.\u2019 She added, \u2018Probably the best knife I ever used on a boat and a gift that keeps on giving from my dad years ago.\u2019<\/p>\n

\tWetsuit waterproof changing mat and bag, was \u00a33.89, n0w \u00a33.49
\nAlthough we haven\u2019t tested this specific waterproof changing mat, we have tried similar ones, which held up well. You can pull this mat into a bag big enough to store wet swimwear to prevent your other items from becoming wet. It is a handy bargain for an outdoor swimming session.<\/p>\n
