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.
