Each year around this time, I start to get excited about gear sales. Getting a good deal on some much-needed new kit is always a bit of a thrill, and this October, the deals are already coming in hot!
The REI Outlet Sale is especially exciting because right now, you can save up to 50% OFF on some excellent items that make perfect holiday gifts.
I usually start holiday shopping right around this time of year, and this sale is definitely going to help me check a few gifts off my list. Three cheers for the REI Outlet Sale!
Something I appreciate about the REI Outlet is that you can find a gift for pretty much everyone you might be shopping for. The outlet sale is also a good opportunity to gear up for winter. It’s a great chance to replace that torn-to-shreds jacket, broken crampon, or missing headlamp!
Awesome REI Outlet Sale Scores!
REI Outlet has broken down their top deals into four categories, and below I am going to share some of the gear I am most excited to see on sale. So whether you’re shopping for friends, family, or yourself, keep scrolling to see some stand-out items with deep discounts.
Up to 50% Off REI Co-op Brand Clothing
REI makes some seriously nice clothing and there are literal pages of it heavily discounted for the outlet sale. My eyes immediately fell upon the Trailmade Soft-Shell Anorak. It’s cozy, practical and looks real good! And for $29.83 seems like a fantastic way to outfit the family!
Another piece that speaks to me is the Powderbound Insulated Jacket. It’s at a 50% discount and comes in some beautiful colors. You can never have enough jackets, right?

Up to 50% Off Run & Fitness Clothing
When it comes to running and fitness clothing, I find one can never go wrong with a sporty T-shirt. During the outlet sale, you can scoop up a Patagonia Capilene Cool T-shirt for under 15 bucks. In that same price range, you can also find Limitless Running Shorts from The North Face. Grab one of each, and you’ve got an outfit!
There is a great selection of sports bras on sale. I was happy to see Prana’s Everyday Support Bra as a part of the sale. One for me, one for my bestie and one for my sister!
