Right now is the best time of year to shop just about everything. With Black Friday deals, Cyber Monday sales, and last-minute (and really last-minute) holiday shopping events, everything from kayaks to kitchen stand mixers to mattresses is on sale. But, every year, REI is a little aloof about participating in all that holiday cheer. This year, however, in addition to last week’s surprise Cyber Week sale, everybody’s favorite outdoor retailer is touting a Holiday Warm Up Sale with savings of up to 40% off, plus free shipping on many items.

If you stood on the sidelines over the last two weeks, waiting for the right moment to pull the trigger on that new backpack, bike, or balaclava, don’t wait. REI’s Holiday Warm Up Sale features epic deals from the world’s best outdoor brands, including The North Face, Arc’teryx, Fjallraven, and more. Here are the best outdoor gear deals to take advantage of right now.

When to Buy from REI’s Holiday Warm Up Sale

Unlike with fleeting Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals, REI’s Holiday Warm Up Sale is going on from now through December 17. Fortunately, that gives you a little extra time to shop one of the year’s biggest holiday savings events. The deep discounts of up to 40% off are going on from now until then. But, if you’re shopping outdoor gear as gifts for the holidays, remember that shipping times aren’t guaranteed this year. Shop early to make sure you not only get the best deals (as supplies are limited for most items) but that your order also arrives in time. REI’s hard shipping cut-off for gear, apparel, and gift cards is December 17.

Camping pads are those that focus solely on outright comfort and warmth, while backpacking pads focus on packability and lightness to save room in your back and keep weight off your back.
