REI’s official split from Black Friday may be just over a year old, but that doesn’t mean the outdoor retailer has closed its doors for the entirety of November. REI’s anti–Black Friday approach, which was announced with the #OptOutside campaign and Thanksgiving closures of a few years back, simply positions the retailer’s sale offerings earlier in the month, with the Gear Up Get Out Sale.
The sale offers notable discounts for many shoppers seeking early REI Black Friday deals on travel, camping, hiking, and sports equipment. We’ve sifted through all of the sale offerings to dig up the best deals for nature enthusiasts. For even more savings, from November 11 through November 21, REI Co-op members can also score an additional 20% off of a single full-price item and one Outlet item, using code GEARUP23.
