If you're buying outdoor gear or fitness clothing, there's nowhere better than REI. Nowhere is better for buying boots, packs, tarps, tents, camp chairs, and gadgets (some of which coffee makers are our favorite). Your crunchy relatives that love to hike, camp, and live life outdoors know about it. You know about it, and now you can shop on sale.
REI is famous for not doing a Black Friday sale, and the retailer even shuts it's brick and mortar stores the day after Thanksgiving. But, I'll let you in on a little secret... The stuff just goes on sale a little bit earlier in the month. Like right now, you can already snag some insane deals on outdoor gear. We're looking at 30 percent off Arc'teryx jackets, 20 percent off HOKA's hit hiking boots, and 25 percent off Osprey hiking packs. If you lean outdoorsy, there's no reason to wait. Get your deal shopping done now and get the fuck outside on Black Friday.
