MAY IS THE perfect time to shop for outdoor essentials, I’d argue. It’s far enough removed from winter that cold-weather must-haves are cheaper than ever, but still not blisteringly hot where peak summer items are flying off the shelf. But these savings multiply the closer you get to one major shopping event: Memorial Day weekend. Right now, at REI, you can score up to 50 percent off outdoor gear (many from our favorite clothing brands), whether you’re planning for a summer camping trip or getting ahead for hiking next winter. Plus, the outdoor retailer’s big Anniversary Sale kicks off today, so these deals get even sweeter.

Everything is on the table with major deals on rain jackets, shorts, biking, camping essentialsand walking shoes. There’s the Synchilla Fleece Jacket available in the brand’s signature Torrey Pine Green and a more understated Shelter Brown, for 39 percent off. Also, the similarly durable and comfy Re-Tool Pullover for 39 percent off as well.
For those looking to up their watch game, grab the Garmin Forerunner 965 for $100 off. And campers can score 50 percent off the REI Co-op Camp Dreamer Double Sleep System. Then, in honor of REI’s anniversary, REI members can purchase one full-priced item from this list and score 20 percent off with code ANNIV2025 through May 26. Not a member? Don’t worry, simply sign up here and take advantage of the steals. Keep an eye on the last two rows of this list, as these 20 percent markdowns require you to sign up.
But don’t wait, with deals like this, I don’t envision inventory sticking around through the holiday weekend.

What’s the Difference Between REI and REI Outlet?
Most of us are aware REI is home base for all things recreational equipment. From hiking to camping, to climbing and fishingyou can find almost any piece of gear you need from all the top brands. The REI Outlet is much like a “last chance to buy” section for the outfitter, holding all of its past-season gear and its famous flash sales. What makes the REI Outlet special though is its wide array of product offerings that reflect all types of seasons. Both REI and REI Outlet has deals right now in honor of Memorial Day.
How to Use an REI Co-op Membership
Member exclusive sales are just one part to the perks of having an REI Co-op membership. Other benefits include 10 percent giveback on eligible purchases year-over-year, free shipping coupons and flash coupons, discounts on equipment servicing and gear rentals, discounts on member events, and more.
If you are someone who has shopped an REI sale in the past—whether it be for running shoes, camping equipment, travel gear, etc—then we recommend buying the $30 lifetime membership. Think about it: you can make that $30 back in savings today if you spend your 20 percent discount on an item that’s over $150. What are you waiting for?
