Hurley Black Friday 2025 Sale – What to Expect & When

Leave a comment

Hurley’s Black Friday 2025 sale is just around the corner. And while they haven’t officially announced the detials just yet, looking at last year’s event and how their sales usually go, there’s a pretty clear idea of what to expect. Here’s everything you need to know: when the sale will likely start and end, how big the discounts might be, and what categories are usually included.

Expected Black Friday 2025 Sale Dates

Hurley tends to start their Black Friday sales three days before Thanksgiving. Based on previous years, Hurley’s Black Friday sale is expected to begin on hurley.com on Monday, November 24, 2025. Once it starts, the sale is expected to run through Cyber Monday and wrap up on Wednesday, December 3, 2025, or until supplies sell out. These dates may shift slightly, but Hurley usually gives about 10 full days of deals, which includes both Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

If you’re looking for the biggest selection, the earlier you shop, the better. Some items may sell out quickly, especially popular sizes or colors.

Possible Discount Levels

Hurley is expected to offer up to 50% off sitewide, which matches what they’ve done in past years. The “up to” part is important — not every single item will be marked down by half, but many will be. Most of the apparel and swimwear usually falls in the 30% to 50% off range, with a few items going lower or higher depending on the season and inventory.

One thing to note is that wetsuits are usually excluded from these big discounts. So if that’s what you’re hoping for, you may need to wait for a different sale or just expect to pay full price. Also, gift cards and prior purchases aren’t eligible for discounts, which is standard.

For people who sign up for the Hurley Rewards Club, there’s another expected perk: double points during the Black Friday sale. It’s free to join, so it’s worth signing up if you plan to buy anything during the sale. Those points can be used toward future purchases, and members in higher tiers (Gold and Platinum) also qualify for free shipping with fewer restrictions.

Free Shipping Info

Shipping is another area where there are some conditions. If you’re a Hurley Rewards Club member, you’ll want to pay attention to your tier. Members in Gold and Platinum tiers are eligible for free standard ground shipping on orders over $99. That’s only for addresses in the 48 contiguous U.S. states. So if you’re in Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, or a U.S. territory, the free shipping deal won’t apply.

Also, wetsuits and gear are not eligible for free shipping, even if the rest of the order qualifies. If you’re buying only gear or wetsuits, you’ll need to cover the shipping cost.

Examples of Last Year’s Deals

Looking back at the 2024 Black Friday sale, here are a few actual examples of items that were marked down. These give a good idea of what to expect this year.

  • Phantom Naturals 20″ Boardshorts: Originally $55, marked down to $27.50 (50% off)

  • Men’s One and Only Pullover Hoodie: Regular price $60, sale price $42 (30% off)

  • Women’s Quick Dry Max One Piece: Was $85, went down to $59.50 (30% off)

  • Hybrid Walkshorts: From $50 to $25 (50% off)

  • Kids’ Graphic Tees: Dropped from $20 to $12 (40% off)

Not every item was half off but there were plenty of markdowns in the 30% to 50% range across categories.

Returns and Exchanges

Hurley’s standard return policy usually allows returns within 30 days of delivery, but always read the fine print during holiday sales. Some sale items may be marked “final sale,” especially deeper discounted items. These usually can’t be returned or exchanged, so double-check the return eligibility before purchasing if you think you might change your mind.

Exchanges may take longer during the holiday season, especially if your size sells out, so sizing carefully is key.

Hunter Boots Black Friday 2025 Sale – What to Expect & When

5 Comments

If you’re thinking about picking up a new pair of Hunter boots or upgrading your rain gear, Black Friday might be the best time to do it. Hunter Boots has a history of offering a solid sale around the holiday weekend. Here’s what to expect, including the likely sale dates, how much you might save, what kinds of items will be discounted, and what was offered in previous years.

Black Friday 2025 Sale Start & End Dates

Based on what they’ve done in past years, the Hunter Boots Black Friday sale for 2025 is expected to start on Tuesday, November 25, 2025. That’s two days before Thanksgiving. The sale should run all the way through Cyber Monday, December 1, ending at midnight Pacific Time.

The sale is typically online-only, so you’ll need to shop directly through their official website at hunterboots.com. Don’t expect to see these deals in stores or at third-party retailers like Nordstrom, Zappos, or Amazon. It’s limited to Hunter’s own online store.

Discount Levels and Types of Deals

You can expect Hunter to once again offer 25% off a selection of pre-picked items. This isn’t one of those across-the-board sitewide sales. Only specific styles, colors, and products will be marked down, and you won’t be able to apply the discount to anything outside that selection.

One thing to keep in mind: Hunter won’t offer rain checks or extend the discount once items sell out. So if you’ve got your eye on something in particular, it’s best to buy it early while it’s still in stock.

What Was on Sale Last Year (2024)

To get a better sense of what might be included in 2025, it helps to look back at last year’s sale. In 2024, Hunter’s Black Friday event featured discounts on hundreds of items, mostly focused on:

  • Original Tall Rain Boots (25% off selected colors)

  • Refined Slim-Fit Rain Boots

  • Play Short Boots

  • Men’s and Women’s Insulated Snow Boots

  • Waterproof Chelsea Boots

  • Rain Jackets and Parkas

  • Rubberized Backpacks and Totes

  • Kids’ Rain Boots

One standout from last year was the Original Tall Gloss Rain Boot in red and navy, which dropped from $175 to around $131.25. That’s the full 25% off, and it’s one of their most popular items.

Another highlight was the Insulated Commando Boot, which usually sells for $185. That one was also marked down to about $139 during the sale.

Hunter also included some kids’ items, like the First Classic Rain Boots and Kids’ Nebula Boots, both under $60 after discount.

Raincoats and outerwear saw similar markdowns. The Original Lightweight Waterproof Jacket (normally $150) was down to $112.50. Some of their more premium jackets were included too, but in limited sizes and colors.

What Not to Expect

Since the sale isn’t sitewide, there are a few things you probably won’t see discounted:

  • Best-selling colors like black or dark green in every size may not be included.

  • Limited-edition collaborations or recent product launches are usually excluded.

  • Gift cards, cleaning kits, and custom orders are not part of the sale.

  • Final sale or clearance items are often already discounted and not eligible for further markdowns.

Also, don’t expect free gifts or bonus items. Hunter doesn’t usually bundle anything extra with Black Friday purchases.

Shipping and Returns

Standard shipping is typically free on orders over a certain threshold (usually around $50 to $75), and that will likely still apply during the Black Friday sale. Expedited shipping options will be available at an extra cost.

As for returns, Hunter’s standard policy should still be in place, but it’s always a good idea to double-check their return rules during promotional periods. Items must be unused and returned within a set window (usually 30 days), and you’ll need to use their return portal to get started.

Note that final sale items are not returnable, and if something is marked that way during the sale, the discount is likely deeper than 25%, but it’s final.

Humanscale Black Friday 2025 Sale – What to Expect & When

Leave a comment

Based on what they did last year and what they’ve done in previous years, here’s what we’re expecting from Humanscale’s upcoming Black Friday 2025 sale; from when it’ll likely start to what kind of deals might be available, what specific items are worth watching, and what to be cautious about when shopping.

Expected Black Friday 2025 Sale Dates

Humanscale typically doesn’t wait until Black Friday itself to start their sale. In 2024, they launched the event a little over a week before Thanksgiving. So if they follow the same pattern, we’ll likely see the sale kick off on Wednesday, November 19, 2025.

Once it starts, it usually runs through Cyber Monday, which falls on Monday, December 1, 2025 this year. Just keep in mind that stock is often limited, especially on the most popular items, and once something sells out, it’s typically gone until after the holiday season.

What Kind of Deals to Expect

If they stick with the same offer structure as in 2024, we’ll likely see a flat 20% off sitewide discount at humanscale.com, available through a promo code. Last year, the code was FESTIVE20, and it applied to nearly everything on their site.

Here’s what that 20% applied to in 2024, and what will probably be included again this year:

  • Ergonomic task chairs (including their popular Freedom and Diffrient chairs)

  • Sit/stand desks

  • Task lighting

  • Monitor arms

  • Keyboard systems

  • Foot rockers

  • Various ergonomic office accessories

They also usually throw in free shipping on orders shipping within the continental U.S. and Canada, along with a 30-day risk-free return policy. These perks can make a big difference, especially for big-ticket furniture items.

Are There Any Exclusions?

Yes, but they’re not always obvious upfront. While the sitewide sale generally covers most of their products, some custom configurations, specialty finishes, or already-discounted bundles might be excluded. Also, products that are temporarily out of stock may not be eligible for the promo, even if they’re listed.

It’s always a good idea to check the fine print on their promotion terms page once the sale is live. That’s where they’ll spell out any exclusions.

Sample Discounts From Last Year

To get an idea of what specific savings might look like in 2025, here are a few examples from the 2024 sale:

  • Freedom Headrest Chair (Standard model): Regular price $1,429 → Sale price $1,143.20

  • Float Sit/Stand Desk (48” x 30”): Regular price $1,599 → Sale price $1,279.20

  • M2.1 Monitor Arm (Single): Regular price $319 → Sale price $255.20

  • Nova Light: Regular price $429 → Sale price $343.20

  • Foot Rocker: Regular price $99 → Sale price $79.20

  • Keyboard Tray System: Regular price $279 → Sale price $223.20

These are all based on the flat 20% off deal, so you can expect similar pricing if the same discount applies this year.
