Outdoor gear can be pricey, so I always watch for an REI sale to get the best deal. When I lived on the road in a vintage Airstream travel trailer, I had to be smart about what garments and gear to have in my tiny home. The tactical clothing and bags I purchased from REI are still in great shape years later and remain essential tools I use to stay comfortable outside in the fall and winter.

I’m eyeing high-performing winter travel clothing like down jackets, snow apparel, and long-lasting footwear from brands like Patagonia, Sorel, Hoka, and North Face that are on sale for up to 70 percent off at REI. I scoured pages and pages of deals to find the best discounts on top brands for outdoor lovers and travelers alike. Keep reading to find the 50 best outdoor deals at REI this month.

It’s not often you see markdowns of 70 percent, especially on high-ticket items like this men’s Obermeyer jacket, which is $280 off and available in all sizes. I love Patagonia jackets and fleeces to wear for the season, and this Hybrid Jacket in a lovely terra-cotta red is half off. (Plus, I know I can send it into Patagonia’s Worn Wear program if I decide I want a different style in a few years.) As we gear up for peak ski season, it gets harder to find good deals on ski gear, but REI has men’s and women’s bib pants up to 70 percent off. For footwear, I spotted these Bogs Chelsea boots and slip-ons marked down 50 percent — perfect easy-on-and-off travel shoes.

REI’s sale on womenswear has marked down everything from anoraks to down jackets. I noticed many discontinued Mountain Hardware styles for 60 percent off, like bib pants and insulated jackets. In my cart, you’ll find this versatile white V-neck Patagonia tee and Toad&Co long-sleeve dress for all-season traveling. I’m also buying several Smartwool crew socks, which I’ll be tucking into stockings and gift bags ahead of the holidays while they’re 71 percent off.

Comfy pullovers, hoodies, layering shirts, and vests are all marked down in REI’s men’s clothing sale section. If you’re prepping for snow, you’ll want these 3-in-1 Cargo Snow Pants and an insulating base layer. Don’t miss the Patagonia deals, like up to 50 percent off their classic ‘90s style fleece vest.

My number one travel tip is always to bring a collapsible duffel bag in your suitcase (you never know if you’ll find a can’t-leave-behind souvenir you have to check on the way home). If you also like to collect souvenirs on your travels, now is the time to grab REI's Big Haul Duffel, now 30 percent off, which packs down into its own small envelope and expands into a durable extra piece of luggage should you need it. I also spotted great deals on tote bags and mini messengers, great for day exploring.

REI has more than just tactical apparel; it also is home to a curation of some of the best travel gear and adventure equipment on the market. This InfinityLab InstantCharger will keep all of your tech equipment charged and comes with plug adaptors for three different kinds of outlets. In anticipation of snow sports, reevaluate your equipment and refresh with new ski poles or snow goggles while they’re 61 and 50 percent off, respectively.

REI carries some of the best brands in comfortable footwear, like Merrell, Sorel, Hoka, and On. They’re all on sale right now, like these Hoka hiking boots that are over half off their original price. If you’re in need of insulating shoes or waterproof shoes, now is the time to grab them. And although it isn’t the season for sandals, I can’t resist these versatile Sorel Crisscross Slides while they’re 60 percent off.
