Black Friday is right around the corner, which means nearly innumerable retailers offering up items at some of the lowest prices of the year. Some stores have already started their sales, including Walmart, Macy’s and more. REI, however, famously doesn’t participate in Black Friday — instead it encourages staff and shoppers to enjoy time with family, preferably outdoors — but you can still get discounts at its annual Get Up Get Out Sale, the outdoor retailer’s Black Friday alternative.
REI’s Gear Up Get Out Sale runs now through Nov. 21 and offers discounts on thousands of items. Amon the offers: 30% off REI’s Co-op brand; up to 30% off camping and hiking gear, snow sports, and cold-weather apparel essentials; up to 20% off car racks; up to 50% off men’s and women’s clothing; up to 40% off cycling; 20% off REI Adventures; and much more.
Whether you’re getting ready to hit the slopes, stocking for next year’s camping season or looking for holiday gifts, there’s something for every kind of outdoorsy person. Combing through all the deals can be tiresome, which is why we did the hard work for you and rounded up 24 of our favorite deals below.

Base layers are crucial when you go adventuring, as they help regulate your body temperature and keep you warm in the coldest conditions. We love Smartwool’s base layers since they’re thin, comfortable and breathable. This base layer might be a little itchy at first for people with sensitive skin since it’s made from merino wool, but it does get softer and more comfortable the more you wash it.

Headlamps are incredibly useful to have. Whether you’re walking your dog at night, looking for something in a dark closet or getting underneath a sink to fix a leak, headlamps come in handy in all sorts of situations.

Anyone who goes out camping regularly knows that all the gear can easily get out of hand. That’s why you should consider snagging this 40-liter recycled duffel bag from REI Co-op, which is big enough to stash gear for a weekend trip, but small enough to use as a carry-on.
$400 $350 at REI
Relying on your cell phone is a bad idea when you venture out into the wilderness.
