REI's Winter Sale dates and deals: Member coupons, gear discounts, gift ideas


REI is skipping Black Friday again. But, the REI Winter Sale is live. Here's what to know.

If you’re looking for Patagonia jackets, Yeti coolers, Osprey packs and more, now’s the time to shop. Here's everything you need to know about saving at REI this holiday season.
