REI's annual Labor Day Sale is here, offering up to 40 percent off a massive selection of outdoor gear, starting August 28 and running through Labor Day, September 7. For REI Co-op members, there are even extra savings of up to 20 percent on REI Outlet items.
This year's sale features sweet discounts on a wide range of products, from tents and sleeping bags to cookware and apparel. You'll find deals on REI's own house brand as well as popular names like Mountain Hardwear, Nemo Equipment, Big Agnes, and Coleman. Whether you're a seasoned backpacker or just getting into the outdoor scene, there's something here for everyone.
Among the standout deals are the REI Half Dome 2, a solid and budget-friendly two-person backpacking tent, and the ultralight Big Agnes Copper Spur bikepacking tent, known for its quality and ease of setup. For even lighter options, Nemo's Dragonfly tents offer a roomy experience with great ventilation, and MSR's Groundhog stakes are a must-have upgrade for any tent, promising unmatched strength.
Gear up for cooler weather with discounts on essential apparel. Smartwool's 100 percent merino base layers are perfect for layering, offering warmth and comfort. REI's own discontinued merino base layers are also a steal on the outlet, making them an incredible value. Don't miss out on the Fjällräven Vidda Pro trousers, packed with features like ventilation zippers and a handy hatchet loop, or the incredibly lightweight and warm Mountain Hardwear Ghost Whisperer Down Jacket.
For cooking in the wild, MSR's PocketRocket Deluxe backpacking stove is a top pick for its fast boil times and wind resistance. Jetboil offers efficient all-in-one systems like the compact Stash and the larger Flash. Classic camping stoves like the Coleman Cascade 3-in-1 and the reliable Coleman Classic Propane Stove are also on sale, ensuring you can whip up a meal wherever you are.
Don't forget essential water filtration and camping comfort. The MSR Gravity Autoflow filter is ideal for groups, providing a steady flow of clean water. For extreme conditions or international adventures, the MSR Guardian filter removes even viruses. And for ultimate relaxation around the campfire, the Kelty Lowdown Camping Chair offers unmatched coziness, albeit with a bit more bulk.
