50 Best REI Long Weekend Deals 2025

With a long weekend approaching, many may be excited about the chance to relax and recharge, but my mind is on something else entirely: the sales. Right now, REI is hosting a secret event to celebrate the long weekend, marking down merchandise from top-rated brands like Hoka, Cotopaxi, and Patagonia up to a staggering 60 percent off.

Now that we’re in the swing of the new year and I have a better handle on my trips for 2025, it’s the ideal time to start thinking about the gear I’ll need for my adventures. Frankly, there’s no better place to shop for these essentials than REI. After investigating the hundreds of deals already available on the site, I’ve rounded up the 50 best items you won’t want to leave behind (and some I’ve already added to my cart), from supportive footwear and comfy apparel to outdoor essentials and luggage. Prices start at just $13, so don’t wait to shop — deals this good won’t last long.
