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.
Our deals team browsed the thousands of offers available and picked out 36 can’t-miss deals—including some discounts on items that have earned spots in our shopping guides. We’ve sorted the deals into four categories (apparel, outdoor and travel gear, footwear and accessories) for easy shopping. Here’s everything we recommend picking up from the REI 4th of July sale.
An Excellent Daypack That Stood Up To Multiple Hiking Tests
Osprey Daylite Pack
A reliable daypack is a must-have for day trips, whether you’re on the trail or on the road. Naming it our favorite daypack overall, contributor Rachael Schultz calls the Osprey Daylite, “the Goldilocks of daypacks,” thanks to its balance of comfort, space, price and quality. You can pick up this pack on sale for 25% off in four colors right now.
Our Pick For The Most Comfortable Waterproof Sandal
Teva Hurricane XLT2 Sandal (Men’s)
We think the Teva Hurricane XLT2 is the most comfortable waterproof sandal for men. Although durable and rugged, this design doesn’t skimp on comfort. It also offers contoured footbeds, a padded heel and adjustable straps. You can save 24% on two colors right now, but sizing is limited.
An Editor-Favorite Trail Running Shoe From Hoka
Hoka Speedgoat 5 Trail Running Shoe (Men’s)
The Hoka Speedgoat 5 delivers moderate cushioning and more traction than any other Hoka sneaker, earning it the top spot in our guide to the best trail running shoes. Right now three colorways and a variety of sizes are available for 19% off. Select women’s sizes are also on sale.
An Ideal Camping Chair For Multiple People, According To Experts
Kelty Low Loveseat
If you tend to camp with a group (or a snuggly pup), this comfy loveseat will make an excellent addition around the fire. The cozy two-seater has a durable steel frame that can support up to 400 pounds and is our favorite camping chair for multiple people. And, when not in use, it packs away into a convenient carrying case. Get it in three colorways for 25% off.
An Insulated Cooler That Keeps Things Cold For Days
Yeti Tundra 45 Cooler
If you’re looking for a great cooler, there are few names more recognizable than Yeti. The brand is known for its durable, well-insulated designs and the Yeti Tundra 45 is so exception. During our testing, the Yeti had “the lowest internal temperature for four out of the five twice-daily check-ins, along with the lowest overall meat temperatures. 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.
