Recreational Equipment, Inc. (REI) has started its Anniversary Sale, offering discounts of up to 66% [1] on various outdoor gear and apparel.
This event represents the company's largest sale of the year. It allows the retailer to clear out existing inventory while providing consumers with significant price reductions on high-end equipment before the peak summer travel season.
The sale is available both online at REI.com and at brick-and-mortar store locations [1]. Discounts apply to a wide range of products from prominent outdoor brands, including Garmin, Coleman, and The North Face [1], [2].
Reports on the maximum discount vary by source. Some outlets report savings of up to 66% [1], [2], while others state the maximum discount reaches 50% [5]. The sale is intended as part of the company's anniversary celebration [1].
Shoppers can find a variety of deals across different categories. Some curated lists of the event's best offers have highlighted more than 50 deals [3], while other roundups have focused on 18 specific items [4].
The promotional period is limited and will run through May 25, 2026 [1], [2]. Customers are encouraged to shop early as inventory for high-demand items often depletes quickly during these anniversary events.
