REI Co-Op Mountain Bikes: 20% Off
If you had any doubt of what REI Co-op bikes are capable of, remember that we rode the entire White Rim Road in Canyonlands National Park with an REI mountain bike (the DRT 1.3). It’s a great value bike and even better now that you can save a whopping 20%. You can also nab 25% off on lots of bike clothing and accessories.
REI Co-op Tents: 30% Off
In the market for a new tent? REI offers plenty. If you can’t decide which one is right for you, we can confirm that the newly redesigned Half Dome 3-person is a great option for car-camping couples. Subscribe so you don’t miss the upcoming review!
REI Co-op Clothing: 30% Off
REI makes some quality sustainable apparel and we dig it. That includes items like the XeroCloud Rain Jacket, one of our favorite sun hoodies, hats, and more. It’s often more budget-friendly and always worth a look.
Exped + Nemo Sleeping Pads and Bags: 25% Off
Nemo and Exped both make excellent and cozy sleeping pads and bags. We recently tested a double-wide pad and bag setup from both brands (subscribe so you don’t miss the full review): the Exped MegaMat and MegaSleep and the Nemo Roamer pad and Jazz bag. These comfy sleep setups can’t be beat when it comes to camping.
Gregory Storage: 25% Off
On road trips, in gear closets and garages, storage and organization is important. And we love Gregory’s solutions and their commitment to sustainability. We love their Alpaca Camp Box for wrangling all sorts of things, including cooking and kitchen gear when camping.
Dometic Coolers: 20% Off
There’s no cooler we love more for extended road trips than the Dometic electric cooler. Plug it in and food stays cold as long as you have power, no ice required. Find our full review here.
Big Agnes Tents: 25% Off
We’ve always been a fan of Big Agnes tents for their sustainability and light weight. The Tiger Wall is a great option for backpacking and the Copper Spur an excellent choice for camping.
Nalgene Bottles: 50% Off
If you know, you know: Nalgene is the king of water bottles for a reason. Lightweight, ultra durable, great for stickers, multi-functional, and always reliable.
Cotopaxi Clothing: 25% Off
We’ve tested plenty of Cotopaxi clothing from hybrid jackets to hiking pants. If you’re a fan of bright colors, cool styles and socially responsible companies, check out their clothing that’s all on sale.
Topo Designs Clothing and Travel Gear: 30% Off
Topo Designs makes some of our favorite natural fiber clothing for travel and the outdoors. They’re sustainably made, often of organic cotton, and look pretty dang fly.
ENO Hammocks: 25% Off
We love hammocking (and hammock camping) and ENO makes quality hammocks, many from recycled materials, and tons of useful hammock accessories.
Astral PFDs: 25% Off
Our favorite life vests are from Astral. So whether you’re planning kayaking or SUP adventures this season, gear up and stay safe with a sustainable PFD.
Thule and Yakima Roof Racks, Boxes, and Accessories: 25% Off
We’ve tested both a Yakima and Thule roof box recently (subscribe so you don’t miss the review) and love them both. So if you’re in the market for some crossbars, a cargo box, or similar accessories, now’s a great time to save a chunk of change on these high value items.
There you have it. We hope we helped you find some new gear that’ll make your Outdoor Adventures more enjoyable. If we did let us know in the comments! Of course remember to only buy what you need (AKA don’t over consume), buy used when you can, support sustainable brands and then get outside and wander on!
