This REI Winter Sale is basically an early Black Friday event — You need to see these prices

While everyone else is busy shopping the most popular Black Friday deals on electronics, like TVs, tools, games, and all that nonsense, I like to spend my time shopping for things I actually need. You know what I mean. The gear that rarely goes on sale or sees those deep discounts we all know and love. A perfect example is fall and winter gear, from clothing, jackets, and other apparel, to camping, climbing, travel, fitness supplies, and more. Right now, one of the best places to shop for all of that stuff, at great prices, is REI. You can expect to save up to 30% off gear and clothing in a wide variety of categories.

What to shop in the REI Winter Sale on gear and clothing

It seems obvious, but I would recommend sitting down and either considering or figuring out what gear you and your family need this winter. Actually, sit down and figure out if there’s any gear you’ll need for the coming year. Some of the items on sale are usable year-round, like camping, hiking, and fitness gear. But let’s provide some examples. In the REI Winter Sale, you can save up to 30% off The North Face apparel, up to 30% off outdoor electronics like Garmin, BioLite, and more, up to 25% off footwear, including boots, and up to 50% off jackets. Again, those are just some quick examples. There are a ton of other options in this sale.

Your best bet is to go browse the sale for yourself and see what’s available. But that’s a given.

Some other favorites of ours include up to 50% off men’s clothing and footwear, up to 20% off car racks from Thule, Yakima, and more, and up to 30% off REI co-op brand clothing and gear. REI Co-op, if you didn’t know, is the brand’s self-titled apparel line and they really do make some great stuff.

  • NEMO Stargaze Reclining Camp Chair — $150, was $250
  • REI Co-op Big Haul 34-inch Rolling Duffel — $209, was $299
  • GoPro HERO12 Black — $300, was $350
  • Garmin inReach Mini 2 Walkie-Talkie — $300, was $400
  • REI Co-op Base Camp 6 Tent — $384, was $549
  • Thule T2 Pro XTR 2-Bike Hitch Rack — $600, was $750
  • Yakima SkyBox NX 18 Roof Box — $639, was $799
  • Garmin Tacx NEO 2T Smart Trainer for Bikes — $900, was $1,400

Tents, camping chairs, outdoor electronics like smartwatches, GPS trackers, and walkie-talkies, sleeping bags, running shoes and boots, the list goes on and on. That’s precisely why I recommend taking a look through everything that’s on sale instead of just writing all of this information off. I know Black Friday officially kicks off next week but these are some incredible discounts nonetheless. It may not even be worth waiting for more, if you see something in here you want or need.

Breitling has unveiled the Avenger America250 — two US-exclusive limited editions marking the country's 250th birthday this July 4 — and the run sizes are as rare as the date is big.

The Avenger Automatic 42 is capped at 250 pieces, one for each year of independence. The Avenger B01 Chronograph 42 Night Mission is the unicorn: just 50, one per state.

Why you should be wearing the biggest underwear brand you’ve never heard of
Pair of Thieves is the third biggest underwear brand and they think your balls will love their fabric
Person, Body Part, Finger

I talk a lot about the importance of style. Fit, function, and fashion come together to make your personal appearance a reflection of who you are and who you intend to be. The value of quality over brand names. The importance of good tailoring over fast fashion. Wearing a suit the right way. The best shoes for your look. The way you can send a message without ever opening your mouth. But you know what I don't ever talk about? Skivvies. That's right, I don't talk about underwear. You know why? Because it is something that I (and I reckon you too) just don't think about. But, in ten minutes with David Ehrenberg, CEO of Pair of Thieves, that all changed. I started thinking about underwear. And he convinced me to try his brand, because he was certain that my balls would love it. He was right. But what is it about Pair of Thieves, and underwear in general, that made them skyrocket to the top of an industry most men don't think about?

Our goal isn't to make underwear some aspirational luxury item– it's to make it the best part of getting dressed. That's reflected in our fabric, our fit, and how closely we listen to real customer feedback. We see underwear as part of personal care, and upgrading it should feel easy, accessible, and genuinely worth it. - David Ehrenberg CEO Pair of Thieves
