50 Best REI Holiday Sale Deals, From $5

This year, I checked off an epic travel milestone that I’ve had for as long as I can remember: hiking on all seven continents. Trekking across every continent from Africa to Antarctica has been an incredible personal journey. Naturally, completing this feat required me to be on top of my hiking gear game—and as a REI Co-op Member for the last 23 years, REI has been the first place I go to when I’m stocking up for a new adventure. 

Right now, REI is running a sitewide REI Co-op Holiday Sale from now through November 24, with up to 83 percent off essentials every kind of hiker, camper, and traveler needs for the journey ahead. Whether cozy The North Face layers, insulated sleeping bags, or comfy Merrell slip-ons, REI has hundreds of winter deals worth shopping right now.

So, whether your next escape involves a multi-day trek in some far-flung destination or setting up a cozy campsite nearby with friends, now’s a great time to refresh your gear at a serious discount. Ahead, I’ve dug up the 50 best deals worth grabbing—starting at just $5.

What’s in My Cart Right Now

My next year’s travel plans include several long-distance hikes, camping in the wilderness, and weekend trips to visit my daughter in Boulder, Colorado. So, I’m eyeing REI deals on backpacking gear, including this cozy, cute quarter-zip pullover from The North Face and these top-rated Black Diamond Trail Back Trekking Poles. Also, I’ll be grabbing another pair of my favorite Merrell slip-ons—which double as a camp shoe—while they’re 40 percent off.
