Best REI Deals On Apparel:
A Popular Down Jacket
Cotopaxi is known for its well-made, colorful designs. This insulated jacket is lightweight, water-repellent and has a scuba hood that helps keep the cold out. This deal price is currently only available in the pictured colorway—but it’s the best price you can find for the jacket online right now.
A Pair Of Best-Selling Shorts
Durable and attractive, these Prana shorts will comfortably take you from a hike to happy hour. They’re stretchy, moisture-wicking and rated UPF 50+ to protect you from the sun’s rays. At over half off, this deal matches the best price you can find for these shorts, but it’s limited to the sepia shade.
An Insulated Coat For Rainy Spring Weather
If you’re looking for a coat that will keep you dry and toasty warm during rainy spring walks, this Fjallraven parka is a great option. The coat is warm and water resistant, and this deal is the best price you can find online right now.
This Cozy Fleece For Cool Nights
This basic fleece is a great transitional piece, and it’s currently half off in all sizes of the black and brown shades. Keep in mind that this style has been discontinued, so this may be one of your last opportunities to snag it.
Some Casual Shorts
Reviewers say these will become your go-to shorts this summer. You can pull them on for a trip to the beach, a hike or an afternoon of errands. They’re on sale in three colors, but you’ll find the most sizes available in the charcoal color above.
Best REI Deals On Outdoor & Travel Gear:
A One-Of-A-Kind Cotopaxi Pack
Cotopaxi’s bags are made from 100% repurposed fabric, so each bag is unique. This simple bag cinches at the top and can hold 18 liters of gear. It also has a front pocket and an internal hydration sleeve (though you’ll need to provide your own water pack). This 25% off deal is the best price you can find for the streamlined pack online.
A Cult-Favorite Camping Blanket
The Rumpl blanket is made of the same material as a classic puffer jacket, so it’ll keep you nice and warm. It’s also conveniently machine washable. Versions of this blanket are often on sale, but this discount matches the best price you can typically score for this size.
A Reliable Headlamp
A headlamp is great for everything from navigating a dark campsite to an evening walk around the block. The model is a dual-beam design that emits up to 375 lumens at up to 88 meters. It also offers a sturdy IPX7 rating against dust and water. Black Diamond has a red version of this headlamp available for a few bucks less, but $33 is the best price online for the black and white options.
This Versatile Camp Towel
If you’re a Douglas Adams fan, then you know a towel is the most important tool an intersteller hitchhiker can have. Even if you’re sticking planetside, a great towel will keep you dry and can double as a blanket (or even a yoga mat, in the case of this slip-resistant design). Pick it up for 30% off right now.
This Luxe Camp Chair
This Nemo chair improves upon the classic camp chair with padded arms, an adjustable headrest, suspending rocking and an auto recline, so you can truly sit back and relax by the fire. While this may seem pricey for a camp chair, this is the best price you can find for the luxury Nemo online right now.
This Family-Ready Tent
A larger version of our top pick for the best camping tent overall, the six-person Wawona is a double-walled, three-season design. It has lots of pockets for internal organization and a shaded vestibule for storing extra gear or lounging away from the sun’s rays. Right now you can get it for $350 instead of the full $500.
Best REI Deals On Footwear:
These Insulated Hiking Boots
If you do a lot of winter hiking, check out these Merrell boots. They’re lightweight, insulated and have removable contoured insoles to keep you supported throughout your trek. Psst, they’re also on sale for 50% off at the moment.
A Lightweight Sneaker For Summer
Lightweight and breathable, these casual Allbirds are great for every day wear—especially as the weather warms. You can also machine wash the insoles as needed to keep them fresh. This deal matches the best price we’ve seen for these sneakers, but it’s only available in two colorways at the moment.
A Solid Everyday Sneaker
These Hoka sneakers are another great everyday shoe. Their lightweight, supportive foam can handle casual runs and long days on your feet. This deal is currently only available in one colorway, but it matches the best price we’ve seen for the Bondi 8.
These Cozy Slippers
These cozy loafers are perfect for shuffling around the house, but their rubble outsole makes them durable enough to join you on that quick errand. Although you can technically find this slipper on sale for $2 less straight from Manitobah, it’s only available in sizes 6 and 7. REI has sizes 8, 9, 10 and 13 in stock for $62.
Some Strappy Chacos
If you’re looking for a simple, comfortable sandal, you can’t go wrong with a pair of Chacos. This style features adjustable straps, podiatrist-certified footbeds and a grippy outsole so you won’t slip around. This deal is by far the best price you can find a pair of Z/2s online right now.
