Apparel Deals
REI is a lot of different things to a lot of different people, but if you tend to gravitate towards their hard goods, know that their apparel is elite-tier. And it’s not just hyper-technical outerwear, either. If you need some do-it-all shorts, pants that can handle a little roughhousing, moisture-wicking anything or just a button-up that will forever conceal your next move, this sale has you covered, from brands like Arc’teryx, The North Face, Patagonia, Mountain Hardwear and more.
Camping and Travel Deals
Good outdoors gear should last you ages—which is why it’s not traditional sale fodder. Right now, thought, it is. Move fast and you can lock in an entire camping set up for the price of rental equipment. Need a bag? You can grab one from Osprey, Arc’teryx or Patagonia. Want a folding chair? You get to pick how many it seats. Oh, and if you thought camping gear was just for camping, know that almost all of it will enhance a park hang to various degrees.
Accessory Deals
PSA: get hiking socks. Even if you’re not a hiker, you’ll appreciate a super cushy, moisture-wicking, long-haul-ready pair. While you’re at it, there are excellent glasses, hats, and other useful accessories in the mix—heavily discounted and well worth a look.
Footwear might be REI’s strongest category. When it comes to hard-working, hard-wearing shoes, their lineup holds its own against anyone. A stacked assortment is on sale now—including heavyweights like Salomon, Merrell, Chaco, and Teva, plus some sneaky-good sleepers like Salewa. And it’s not just hikers: there are top-tier road runners and recovery shoes in the mix, too.
