I’ve been camping my whole life, but only started shopping at REI when I was in college and wanted to invest in my first backpacking backpack. When I saw the dozens of racks lined with technical packs from top brands like Osprey, Gregory, and more, I was hooked. REI sells the best of the best when it comes to outdoor gear, and that includes products from its own brand. In fact, the first one I settled on was a REI Co-op pack that I used for over 10 years. (It has since been discontinued, but I upgraded this season to the Traverse 60 and have been loving the bonus features.)
With so much high-quality outdoor gear to choose from, from camping tents to hiking shoes, I’ve gathered the best deals you can score on sale right now at REI, up to 70 percent off. Whether you’re looking for a new pair of trail runners, sun protective clothing, or even luggage, you won’t want to pass up this summer sale.

Whether you should wear hiking pants or hiking shorts is a pretty hot debate. Hiking shorts will keep you cool, but hiking pants will protect more of your legs from twigs and branches you may encounter on narrow trails. Thanks to REI’s sale, you can try both styles with prices as low as $24. Adidas running shorts are now 31 percent off, and you can also grab a pair of Prana hiking pants while they’re 29 percent off.
