You’re probably hoping to get outside for the 4th of July holiday and it’ll be a lot more fun if you have the right gear. Right now, REI has a massive sale going, which includes huge deals in its outlet section. The handpicked outlet sale runs through July 2, and the steepest cuts reach 60 percent off across camping gear, backpacks, trail shoes, and summer clothing. I dug through all of it and pulled the deals worth grabbing, leading with picks that don’t hinge on one last size or color being in stock.
Osprey Transporter Roll-Top Pack $69.73 (was $165.00)
57% off Osprey’s haul-anything roll-top
The Osprey Transporter Roll-Top is the bag I’d grab first. It’s a weather-resistant roll-top made from recycled fabric, with a padded laptop sleeve and harness straps that hide away when you’d rather sling it like a duffel. At $69.73, down from $165, it’s more than half off, and because it comes in one size, you’re not fighting anyone for the last medium.
prAna Foothills Flat Brim Hat $19.73 (was $39.00)
A packable sun hat for under $20
The prAna Foothills is a flat-brim sun hat that packs down and shrugs off being crushed in a bag. You get full face-and-neck coverage, an internal sweatband, and a chin cord for windy days. One size, $19.73 instead of $39, and nothing to overthink before a summer hike.
Gregory Arrio 18 Pack $48.73 (was $89.95)
Gregory’s ventilated daypack, 45% off
The Gregory Arrio 18 is an 18-liter day-hike pack with a suspended mesh back panel, the kind that keeps a sweaty back off your gear on a climb. It holds a hydration reservoir, has trekking-pole attachments, and fits water, layers, and lunch without bulging. At $48.73, down from $89.95, it’s a lot of real hiking pack for under $50, and it ships in one size.
NEMO Resolve 15 L Active Pack $94.73 (was $159.95)
NEMO’s repair-friendly fast pack, 40% off
The NEMO Resolve 15 is a 15-liter fast-hiking and trail-running pack from NEMO’s Endless Promise line, which the brand builds to be recycled or repaired instead of tossed when it wears out. The vest-style harness keeps it from bouncing on rough descents, and there’s room for a half-day kit. At $94.73, down from $159.95, it’s 40 percent off and, again, a single size.
Smith Joya ChromaPop Polarized Sunglasses $90.73 (was $275.00)
67% off Smith’s polarized glass lenses
The Smith Joya is one of the steepest markdowns in the sale, down 67 percent from $275 to $90.73. These run Smith’s ChromaPop polarized glass, which is heavier than plastic but sharper and much harder to scratch, in a women’s-fit frame. Glass sunglasses at this price are unusual, and there’s no size to sort out, just whether the look works for you.
Big Agnes Wyoming Trail 4 Tent $398.73 (was $999.95)
$601 off a four-person car-camping tent
The Big Agnes Wyoming Trail 4 is the splurge that’s actually a deal, a freestanding four-person tent down from $999.95 to $398.73. That’s $601 off the list price, with two doors and two vestibules so nobody has to crawl over anybody at 2 a.m. It’s heavy for backpacking but built for car camping, where the headroom and the second door matter more than saving grams.
Backpacks, daypacks, and duffels
Packs are where REI’s outlet usually shines, and this sale is no exception. The Osprey Transporter duffels lead it at 57 percent off, and the best value is the Salewa Fanes 24 at $59.73, a 24-liter hiking pack for 60 percent under list.
