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.

A DECADE of &SONS chronicled in a new collection
&SONS

A decade ago, Phil James had a problem. He couldn’t find anything he wanted to wear on the clothing racks. There were big names everywhere in 2016. Names that had been generational legends for years. But, no matter how hard he looked, he just couldn’t find the clothing he truly wanted to wear. So, he decided to do what any rational person would do when they have nothing to wear: He started his own business. &SONS was born, and after ten years of providing some of the best British workwear, DECADE is a collection that celebrates what he and his team have done on their journey.

I have always been drawn to the marketing side of the brand. It makes sense; James has experience in his career that predates &SONS, as a marketing photographer. So, no wonder all the images looked amazing. Noe, the new collection looks back on that experience and the rising name he has built.

The best non-alcoholic fall beers to celebrate Sober October
Deschutes

Dry January might be the most popular month for taking a break from alcohol, but Sober October is a close second. If you’re spending this month sans alcohol and you’re getting tired of simply drinking sparkling water, there are options aplenty, especially if you’re usually a beer drinker.

If you didn’t know it already, the non-alcoholic beer world has improved a lot in the last decade. When I first started writing about alcohol twenty years ago, I wrote an article where I taste-tested NA beers and the results were fairly brutal. While I won’t name the beers, pretty much all were fizzy, yellow, and at best fairly flavorless. In essence, they didn’t really taste like beer. That’s definitely not the same today. It’s a whole new world of non-alcoholic beer.

Luminox adds a new chronograph to the Carbon Seal Series
Luminox

Luminox began a long-standing relationship with one of the most elite special forces teams in the world in 1992 when they began making tactical watches for the Navy SEALs. Ever since, they have been the brand on the front lines (or behind them is probably the more appropriate statement) of all of the major conflicts across the globe. The team at Luminox elevated the SEAL watches with the Master Carbon SEAL collection which uses a stronger version of the brand’s CARBONOX. A long-bar carbon fiber compound three times lighter than titanium and twice as strong as standard CARBONOX. They are deepening the collection with a new chronograph, the new 3880.

“The connection to the Navy SEALs is both a legacy and a responsibility. From the very beginning, our watches have been designed to perform under the toughest conditions. That expectation continues to shape everything we do—not only for SEAL teams, but also for adventurers around the world who rely on their gear when pushing their limits.” – Pierrick Marcoux, Group Product Director at Luminox
