REI may not officially put on a “Black Friday” sale, but it sure puts on a good Cyber Week sale. The REI Cyber Monday sale is offering 30% off a whole array of current-season clothing and gear. Better yet, REI members can save an extra 25% off on select gear.
What this all means is if you’ve even had a passing interest in camping, hiking, snow sports, park hangs, climbing, biking or even just touching a little bit of grass, now is the time to fill up them carts.
We know full well that parsing through REI can be an exhausting endeavor in the midst of the all the end-of-year-sales. Lucky for you, you don’t have to because we’re built different (read: can scroll for hours on end without losing focus) and took that trip already. So, if you feel like hitting those digital trails yourself, by all means—but to save you some trouble, we rounded up the things we’re most excited to snag this week, which you can find below

Break this one out for your next camping trip.
Patagonia
Re-Tool Hybrid Insulated Hoodie
It turns out that a hybrid outer layer is a killer canvas for some mixed-medium artwork.
Patagonia
Driftwood Canyon Hoodie
We’re not saying that jackets have to reflect the season they’re worn in by any stretch of the imagination, but this one looks like if fall activities got distilled into a piece of outerwear.
The North Face

A quick-drying, sun-shielding, super-lightweight t-shirt, for under $25.

A comfortable hiking short with good looks.

Shoe Deals
Merrell

$40 proof that slides don’t have to be boring.
Merrell
Alverstone 2 Hiking Shoes
Not all of us are tackling the Applachian Trail, and for those of us keeping things a touch more local, the Alverstone 2 is plenty of shoe—and it’s also only $75 this weekend.
La Sportiva
Ultra Raptor II GTX Trail-Running Shoe
The only way you can get more traction is with cramp-ons.
Merrell
Moab 3 Waterproof Hiking Shoes
The low-top Moabs have all the ruggedness of the full-height iteration, they’re just a little less cumbersome (if you’re not in need of the ankle support).

Adidas
Supernova Rise Road-Running Shoes
One of Adidas’ best runners, discounted a cool 30%.

Hydroflask

Marmot
Trestles Elite Eco 30 Sleeping Bag
This is going to keep you crazy warm on any camping trips, which is incredibly important—but it also packs down into a bag barely bigger than a Nalgene, which is also important.

REI Cyber Week Deals FAQ
Cyber Monday traditionally happens the Monday after Black Friday, which means that it’s on December 2 this year. If prior years are any indication, REI will extend their Black Friday Sale through Cyber Monday. But if you’re looking to take full advantage of deals, we wouldn’t advise waiting all the way until Monday—things do sell out, especially when they’re on sale.
What are the best things to buy at REI?
For starters, anything you’d want with you when you’re spending time outdoors—gear, clothing, footwear, accessories, all of it. Whether you need (or want) hiking boots, rain gear, tents, winter coats, climbing shoes or basically anything else that will level up your outdoor experience, REI is the place to start your search—and more often than not, the place to end it.
Will REI have a Cyber Monday Sale?
If last year is any indication, they will, but there’s no guarantee that the deals will be the same or that the selection will be either, which means that if you see something you’re into, you should move fast.
