AUTUMN IS COMINGand with it come autumn adventures. Now is the time to replace the old sleeping bags, tents and hiking boots, and tThere’s no better time to do so than REI’s Labor Day Sale, which is currently underway.

Hoka, Osprey, Columbia, Garmin – you name it – are all allowed until the sale ends on September 2nd.
For anyone looking to spice up their fall wardrobe, there are also great deals on men’s clothing like waterproof pants, flannel shirts, and weatherproof jackets. The best part about this sale is that all shoppers can take advantage of these deals. But that also means the deals will go even faster than usual, and we’ve already seen some of our other favorite pieces sell out, so if you see something you like, you’ll want to snap it up quickly.

Editor’s Choice Best REI Labor Day Deals
Why this is our selection
The first items we spotlighted were the hiking boots we saw in this sale. In terms of choice, it doesn’t get much better than this, and we’ve personally tested these offerings from Vasque, Lowa, and Hoka. Each of these Gore-Tex pairs will get you to exactly where you need to go, comfortable and dry, so it really just comes down to which style you like best.
Garmin is always the tech you need outdoors, and the two pieces included here are some of our favorites. Whether you’re taking the family on a quick hike in the woods or trying something more challenging, having a satellite communication device like the inReach Mini 2 really gives you peace of mind. For a smartwatch, you can’t get better than the Garmin Forerunner 265 for the price, and it’s also an excellent fitness tracker.
The rest of the selection is tried-and-tested pieces that include everything you need to make your next hike or camping trip a success, including tents and sleeping pads.
What is the difference between REI and REI Outlet?
Most of us know that REI is the home for all things recreational gear. From hiking to camping to climbing to fishing, you can find almost any piece of gear you need here, from all the top brands. The REI Outlet is something of a “last chance to buy” department for the outfitter, featuring all of the previous season’s gear and their famous flash sales.
