Our Favorite Products from REI’s Anniversary Sale

It's almost summertime once again, and not only does that mean warmer temps, longer days, and camping season, but it also marks the return of REI’s biggest sale of the year. The Anniversary Sale takes place this year from May 16 to 26 and offers discounts on some of the brand's most popular items.

Discounts can reach up to 30 percent off, but it’s really worth it for Co-op members who receive 20 percent off one full-price item, as well as 20 percent off an REI outlet item (with code ANNIV2025 at checkout). Though the sale takes place in stores, you can shop all the deals online.
