- REI sells just about everything you could want for outdoor adventures and right now, it’s holding a great anniversary sale.
- Many items are reduced by up to 50% without needing a separate discount code, and members can use "ANNV19" to get 20% off one full-price item and 20% off one outlet item.
- We’ve listed 10 deals on some of our favorite tried-and-tested outdoor gear and have a list of 20 other amazing deals here, but there are thousands more to be found on rei.com.
The REI anniversary sale is like Black Friday and Cyber Monday combined for people who like to spend their free time outside.
Not only are thousands of products currently discounted, but members can also take 20% of any one full-priced item and one outlet item. It’s a great time to stock up on goodies for summer adventures, replace that punctured sleeping bag, pull the trigger on the bike you’ve been eyeing all spring, or just grab a cooler for beach days.
Have no fear though, the sale lasts until May 27 and is accessible in store and online.
Here are 10 heavily reduced items from the REI anniversary sale:
Rab Nebula Pro Insulated Jacket
REI
Rab Nebula Pro Insulated Jacket, $191.73 (originally $275)
I’ve worn a Rab jacket everywhere from Alaska to Arizona. But don’t be fooled by the understated design of these reliable down jackets — they’re packed thoughtful design details.
The Nebula uses synthetic down to keep you warm, relies on quality YKK zippers, and has draw cords to stop cold air sneaking in between you and your jacket. If you go out in the cold, this is a great choice — especially if you don’t care for the Day-Glo shades of many other outdoor jackets.
Garmin inReach Mini 2-Way Satellite Communicator
REI
Garmin inReach Mini 2 Way Satellite Communicator, $299.99 (originally $350)
This might be the best sports tech product I’ve come across in years — something the size of a matchbox has never made me feel so secure.
I’ve used the inReach Mini to text my wife from a glacier in Alaska, trace a route through waist-deep snow in the High Sierra, and relied on it for backup on long bike trips in the desert. The device provides mapping, SOS calls, and two-way communication from anywhere on Earth, meaning that you can tell rescuers what kind of help you need or just tell your partner how nice the views are in the Mongolian desert. It’s a must have for big adventure trips.
Black Diamond FreeWire Quickdraw Quickpack
REI
Black Diamond FreeWire Quickdraw Quickpack, $59.89 (originally $79.95)
It’s rare to find a good quickdraw set for under $10 a piece. These Black Diamond quickdraws have a polyester dogbone and wiregate carabiner that clips reliably. You might find cheaper quickdraws, but I can’t think of anything else in this price range that I would trust with my life.
