But these savings multiply the closer you get to one major shopping event: Memorial Day weekend. Right now, at REI, you can score up to 67 percent off outdoor gear (many from our favorite clothing brands),

REI’s best deals of the year come from its much-anticipated anniversary sale, which typically runs through Memorial Day weekend. The outdoor outfitter’s online sale section essentially quadruples in size, with steep discounts on packs, shoes, tents, and more. It makes the retailer’s Black Friday sale, quite frankly, look like small potatoes.

From weatherproof shells to cosy fleeces and reversible puffers, some of Patagonia’s bestsellers have quietly gone on sale, many of which rarely get discounted. And because it’s REI, these aren’t old leftovers. We’re talking current-season styles and trail-ready gear that’ll serve you well all year long.
