Welcome to The Gear List, a semi-regular series where we spotlight the best discounts and deals on tactical gear, outdoor equipment, and everything in between.
When it comes to finding quality outdoor gear for hiking, camping, or even a military field exercise, REI is one of our favorite places to shop. The retail chain has made a name for itself by being selective about the products it sells and working hard to give customers affordable prices. So when an event like the REI Labor Day sale comes along, your money goes even further and you can score some serious deals on high-end gear.
I did some digging and found deep discounts on fall clothing from brands like Cotopaxi, Patagonia, Outdoor Research, Darn Tough, and Nike. You can get a new pair of running shoes from Brooks or La Sportiva and get ready for your next fitness test. REI and REI Outlet have killer deals on Gregory, Osprey, and ALPS Mountaineering packs for long backpacking trips, day hikes, and everything in between. There are even great deals on camp stoves to take your MRE masterpieces to the next level.
We all need quality gear, and seasonal sales are a great way to get it without blowing the budget. The following list covers some of the highlights of the REI Labor Day sale so you can spend less time scrolling and more time actually getting outside.
These prices were valid at press time, but prices can change and deals do expire.
