REI has taken a definitive stance on Black Friday: We Ain’t Doin’ It. (Okay, we editorialized that a bit. But for those of you who don’t know, REI closes all of its stores the day after Thanksgiving.) At Outside, we love the idea of flipping the year’s most hectic shopping day on its head by encouraging everyone to touch grass, dirt, or snow instead of the proverbial PIN pad. However, we all love a deal, and so does REI. The REI Holiday Sale, which is offering discounts of up to 30 percent (and 40 percent on items in its outlet), starts today, November 14, and runs through November 24.
Whether you’re shopping for yourself or trying to pick out the perfect gift for the outdoor lover in your life, now is the time to get your shopping done and dusted. We scoured the sale for gear we’ve tested, gear we’d gift our friends and family, and gear we’d gift ourselves.
