I say this every year, but I’m serious this time: I’m going to stock up on new camping gear and apparel before hitting the trails. Some hiking boots, a new tent, and maybe a camping chair so I can sit around my smokeless fire pit and roast marshmallows. With so many great REI deals happening right now, it feels like the perfect time to get all of my gear updated. Do the same and make sure you’re properly equipped to survive a high-altitude bivouac—or, at the very least, your next trip to Whole Foods.
Like I said, there’s a lot on sale, but you can never have too much of a good thing, right? Sit back, because I’ve done the hard work for you by finding 33 of the best discounts (up to 51 percent off) from editor-favorite brands Patagonia, Arc’teryx, and Hoka.
Best REI Patagonia Sales
You know the drill. Patagonia offers some of the best outdoor gear and apparel money can buy (much of which can be worn year-round, making it an even better investment), and REI’s sale is giving you up to 39 percent off to outfit your next adventure. If you buy only one thing, make it this Synchilla Fleece Jacket; it’ll keep you comfortable no matter what shenanigans you’re up to.
Best REI Arc’teryx Sales
Outdoor-apparel stalwart Arc’teryx isn’t messing around when it comes to performance and design, and you can score up to 30 percent off the brand’s top-selling gear right now. A windproof jacket to keep you warm in freezing temperatures? Check. A pair of trail-running shoes? Uh-huh. Base layers for all-day comfort? You betcha. The Canadian brand’s expertise shines through every seam.
Best REI Hoka Sales
A ton of Hoka’s best-selling styles are up to 20 percent off right now. The brand’s signature maximalist cushioning and lightweight design make it a game changer for comfortable trail-running shoes and hiking boots alike—but if the eye-watering price tags normally feel prohibitive, consider this your sign to finally take the plunge. (The editor-favorite Clifton 9’s are currently marked down.)
