This is a PSA: REI’s 4th of July sale ends tonight. Then annual event—which can save you up to 50% on outdoor items from brands like Hoka, Purist and The North Face—is the perfect opportunity to gear up for your next summer adventure, but it ends a lot sooner than some other retailer 4th of July sales, which can go on for days. Even so, in addition to the thousands of offers on tap, REI rewards members also get a couple exclusive offers: 20% off one full-priced Yeti cooler and $20 off a purchase of $100 or more at the REI Outlet with code OUT4JUL24.

And at the end of 60 hours, [it] still had 2 pounds of ice left,” says contributor Scott Tharler. This deal requires an REI membership.
