Every November, the REI has a huge winter sale that I think is one of their best sales of the year. This year’s sale is taking place November 15-25, and it’s a great time to stock up on winter gear, holiday gifts, or outdoor products that you want for next summer.

In this post, I’ve scoured the REI website and handpicked the best REI Winter Sale deals with discounts up to 40% off. Everything I recommend here I’ve personally tried.

If you’re an REI Member, you can also save 20% off one-full priced item and an extra 20% of one REI Outlet Item using the code WINTER24. If you’re not a REI Co-op Member already, here are 12 reasons why you should join!

1) 30% off All REI Clothing and Accessories

All REI Co-op Brand Clothing is 30% off. I’ve worn a lot of different REI apparel over the years, and here are a few of my favorite pieces that are worth checking out during the sale:

2) 30% off All REI Camping and Hiking Gear

If you’re looking to get a new tent or other big ticket item, all REI Co-op Brand Hiking and Camping Gear is 30% off. Here is some of my favorite REI gear to check out:

3. $100 Off Garmin inReach Mini 2

If you’ve been following me for a while, you’ve heard me talk about the Garmin Mini 2. I think it’s a MUST for anyone who likes to get out in the backcountry where there isn’t cell service. It can be used to send and receive texts or to call for help if you have an emergency. I’ve even used it to get roadside assistance when my Sprinter Van battery died outside of Sun Valley one winter.

I’m a huge fan of Oboz Footwear, so I’m excited to see that every Oboz model is 25% off during the REI Winter Sale (both men’s and women’s). I’m especially fond of the Katabatic for fast and light summer hiking and the Insulated Bridger for winter. If you need help deciding which Oboz model is right for you, check out this post on the Oboz models I use most frequently.

5. 25% off All Outdoor Research Outerwear

I have two Outdoor Research jackets that I’m especially fond of and all Outdoor Research outerwear is 25% off (with the exception of ski jackets) in the REI Winter Sale. Check out these two:

6) 25% off all Icebreaker Clothing

I’m a huge fan of Icebreaker. They make my all-time favorite merino wool base layers for winter hiking and skiing, and I also have a few their sweaters that are so soft and comfortable. However, Icebreaker clothing tends to be pricey, so I always jump at the chance to grab a new piece when they are on sale. During the REI Winter Sale, all Icebreaker clothing is 25% off. If you’re new to Icebreaker, I recommend starting with the Oasis 200 crew top (women’s)(men’s) and the Oasis 200 Thermal leggings (women’s)(men’s).

7) 25% off all Rumpl Blankets

Rumpl makes awesome camping blankets. I’ve been using the 2-person, original puffy as my comforter in my Sprinter Van for years. They are very durable (standing up to my 2 dogs), shake off easily, and can be thrown in the washing machine when they need a refresh. Rumpl blankets come in different sizes and prints, all of which are 25% off.

8) 25% off NEMO Tensor Ultralight Insulated Sleeping Pad

If you’ve struggled to find a comfortable sleeping pad for backpacking, I encourage you to try the NEMO Tensor Ultralight Insulated Sleeping Pad, which is currently 25% off. It’s 3.5 inches thick, and it has a valve that allows you to adjust the amount of air inside so you get just the right firmness. With an R-value of 5.4, you can rely on this even in the colder months. And to top it off, it’s incredibly easy to blow up thanks to the inflation sack that it comes with.

If you get nervous walking on ice in the winter, you have to get a pair of Kahtoola Microspikes which are 20% off during the REI Winter Sale. When I feel ice on the trail, I just slip these on over my boots, and I instantly feel so much safer and more confident. When you’re buying them, double check the sizing since you’ll want to get a bigger size if you are using them over bulkier winter boots.

10) 25% off all Cotopaxi Clothing and Accessories

I’ve got a few Cotopaxi pieces that I really love, and all Cotopaxi apparel is 25% during the sale. I want to give a special shoutout to the Cotopaxi Tech 5-Panel Hat. I got this hat last summer, and it’s become a staple. It’s so light, I hardly notice I’m wearing it, and the brim doesn’t block my vision when I’m hiking. It’s also very breathable, even in the muggiest climates.

11) 25% off all Biolite Lighting

If you’re looking for a way to add some ambiance to your campsite, all Biolite lighting is 25% off. They make some compact, portable lanterns, and I really love the Biolite 325 Headlamp. I’m actually not sure why this headlamp doesn’t get better reviews, because I’ve been using it for years without any issues. I love how easy the strap is to adjust, it’s very light, and the charge easily lasts a 4-night backpacking trip as long as you aren’t using it on the highest setting.

12) 20% off Strider Balance Bikes

If you’ve got a little tyke like me, my son Herbie who is almost 2, loves cruising around on his Strider Balance Bike, which is 20% off. Not only is it fun, but he’s learning how to balance, so when it’s time to graduate to a real bike, the transition will be much easier. The seat and handlebars are fully adjustable, so the bike can grow with your little one.

13) 25% off all Sea to Summit Cook Gear

Sea to Summit makes great collapsible cooking gear that can save space in your pack or camping bins. It’s all 25% right now too! I have some of their silicone collapsible pots that are great for backpacking, and I’ve been eyeing their dinnerware for my new truck camper.

14) 25% off all MSR Stoves and Cookware

In the above photo, I’m cooking on the MSR Pocket Rocket 2, which at 2.6 ounces is one of the lightest backpacking stoves out there. This stove and all other MSR stoves and cooking gear is 25% off.

15) 30% off all REI Brand Travel Gear

All REI travel gear is 30% off. I have two pieces of REI luggage that I use on a majority of my trips. The first is the REI Co-op Big Haul 28L Duffel which is my choice for short weekend trips. I also use it daily in the winter to keep all of my ski accesories organized in my car.

I also have the REI Co-op Big Haul 30″ Wheeled Duffel which is one of the toughest roller bags I’ve owned. It’s got a rugged, water-resistant exterior and really durable wheels that can withstand bumpy roads and being dragged over curbs.
