The Best Deals at REI’s Holiday Sale
In this article
REI Co-op’s Holiday Sale has arrived nice and early, which means that you can grab discounted gifts for the outdoorsy people in your life well ahead of time. Or just shop for your own upcoming cold-weather adventures. Items across a range of outdoor brands are up to 30 percent off through Thursday, November 24, with REI’s in-house line seeing the biggest discounts.
Below, I’ve found the best deals on lots of travel and outdoor stuff that we’ve been testing and recommending for years, including some of our favorite winter parkas, our best overall kids’ bike helmet, and the warmest merino-wool base layers. It’s also worth noting that for the duration of the sale, REI Co-op members can take 20 percent off one full-price, non-sale item. Co-op membership costs $30 and lasts a lifetime.
