The Best REI Fall Sale Finds of 2025

Summer may mean camping season for most of the country, but the cooler temperatures of fall make it an equally great time to get outside. Aside from, say, floating coolers, most outdoor staples come in handy season after season. Your insulated travel coffee mug can hold hot drinks again after months of iced coffee; the picnic blanket you brought to the beach can pull its weight through tailgating season. 

If you missed the REI Labor Day Sale and don’t want to wait for the REI Black Friday sale, you can actually find some incredible REI deals happening right now, with discounts up to 51% off.  We sifted through more than 6,000 markdowns to find 60 we recommend, including Yeti Rambler mugs, LifeStraw water bottles that filter out forever chemicals, and camp stoves marked up to 40% off.

Best REI Sale Drinkware Deals

Even if your fall plans don’t include a camping trip, outdoor-approved drinkware is a year-round investment. Insulated tumblers and travel coffee mugs, for example, keep hot drinks hot and cold drinks cold. Water bottles rank among the most used items in our kitchens — and if you’re outdoors often, even better when the water bottle can filter contaminants, like the LifeStraw bottles we spotted on sale. Here are those deals and more from Yeti, Stanley, Nalgene, Klean Kanteen, and Camelbak.

Stanley 24-Ounce IceFlow AeroLight 2.0 Vacuum Water Bottle with Flip Straw Lid

Stanley fans who want a packable, vacuum-sealed alternative to the tumbler cup won’t want to miss the IceFlow AeroLight bottle while it’s discounted. It comes in some of the brand’s best colors, and it’s made of recycled stainless steel that’s processed in a way to make it 33% lighter than your normal stainless steel bottle. 

Yeti 30-Ounce Rambler Travel Mug

We’ve tested dozens of Yeti products, and we still see this 30-ounce Rambler Travel Mug as one of the best you can buy for its large capacity and cup holder-friendly design. Yeti equips its Rambler tumblers and mugs with double-wall, vacuum insulation that keeps beverages exceptionally cold or hot, up to hours at a time, while keeping a neutral temperature on the outside. Grab it in two limited-edition colors on sale, and stay hydrated all fall.

Best REI Sale Camp Kitchen Deals

If you invest in camp cookware or a camping grill, you’re good to go — almost. Rounding out your camp kitchen with packable cooking tools, utensils, and dinnerware doesn’t cost much, and it saves you from packing your everyday forks and knives. We found a few essentials on sale from GSI Outdoors (which makes the top camping cookware set we tested) and Ignik. 

• Sea to Summit Medium Passage Bowl, $8, originally $12
• Sea to Summit Frontier Ultralight Pot, $45, originally $65
• Ignik FireCan Portable Fire Pit, $172, originally $230
• Ignik Gas Growler 3.8 Naked, $60, originally $80
• Ignik Gas Growler 5.0 Deluxe, $97, originally $130
• ALPS Mountaineering Spark Fire Pit, $150, originally $200
• GSI Outdoors Pioneer Chef’s Tools, $18, originally $25
• UCO Eco 4-Piece Mess Kit, $14, originally $20
• UCO Ingalls Switch-Lok Knife, $49, originally $70
• Jetboil Flash Java Kit Cooking System, $108, originally $145

GSI Outdoors Pioneer Chef’s Tools 

PSA: Your nice kitchen utensils belong at home. For adventures, invest in a dedicated set of durable, outdoor-ready utensils that you won’t mind exposing to the elements. This lightweight, stainless steel set comes with the ideal trio for camp cooking: a spatula, a ladle, and a serving spoon for many one-pot meals ahead. We also love the green graniteware-inspired handles.

Ignik FireCan Portable Fire Pit

Don’t give up on backyard entertaining just because the temperature has dropped. From fall through spring, a fire pit will buy you more time outside, and we like that this lightweight model from Ignik can easily be packed up for tailgates, camping trips, beach hangouts, and more. With no need for firewood, it runs on propane and can burn for up to 144 minutes.

Best REI Sale Bag and Cooler Deals

Fall marks a departure from the sweltering temperatures that shut us indoors for the better part of the summer. Whether tailgating, apple picking, or hiking, clocking more hours outside means you’ll need a bag to carry your gear. While the best coolers aren’t just for summer, your fall plans may not involve keeping two dozen seltzer cans ice-cold. In these cases, a backpack, picnic basket, or even an insulated grocery bag will do the job. To prepare for the season, REI slashed prices on coolers and bags from Osprey, Patagonia, and Herschel Supply Co.

• IceMule Jaunt 15 L Soft-Sided Cooler, $90, originally $120
• Herschel Supply Co. Pop Quiz 30 Insulated Pack Cooler, $70, originally $100
• Osprey Arcane Large Day Bag, $68, originally $110
• Herschel Supply Co. Retreat Tote, $52, originally $75
• Herschel Supply Co. Pop Quiz 12 Insulated Pack Cooler, $63, originally $90
• Osprey Arcane Tote Pack, $77, originally $120
• Osprey Arcane XL Daypack, $81, originally $130
• Patagonia 24-Liter Terravia Tote Pack, $69, originally $99

Herschel Supply Co. Pop Quiz 30 Insulated Pack Cooler

We consider this soft cooler’s size a happy medium. It holds up to 30 cans (without ice) or enough food for a day trip or picnic. With the help of some ice or a good ice pack, its foam padding insulation keeps food and drinks cold for hours, while its food-safe liner keeps any melted ice from leaking through. You can switch between the padded shoulder strap and handles for comfortable carrying. Its front pocket offers easy access to dry items, like your keys or phone. We also like that it’s made from 100% recycled polyester.

Osprey Arcane Large Day Bag

If you’re looking for a stylish backpack to accompany you on work commutes, day hikes, and flights, the Osprey Arcane meets your criteria: lightweight, compact, and outfitted with plenty of compartments to keep you organized. You can slide a 15-inch laptop into its inside sleeve with room for some food or a change of clothes, while a water bottle pocket on the outside frees up even more real estate. A 20-liter capacity makes this backpack best for day trips, but Osprey bags range in size for night or weekend packing.

Best REI Sale Electronics Deals

It took me just one camping trip with a drained phone battery and minimal lighting to teach me that I appreciate the outdoors most when I have some technology in reach; you never know when you’ll need to look up a trail, avoid stumbling at night, or cook dinner after the sun goes down. For these reasons, I recommend grabbing a power bank, flashlight, headlamp, or lantern (or all four) during this REI sale. I also found deals on a Bluetooth speaker and wireless earbuds that can provide entertainment at the campsite, in the kitchen, and beyond.

• JBL Flip 7 BT Speaker, $130, originally $150
• InfinityLab InstantGo 10000 Built-in Lightning Cable, $42, originally $70
• Petzl Tikka Headlamp, $28, originally $35
• SOL Venture Rechargeable LED Headlamp, $19, originally $28
• JBL Party Box On The Go Essential Speaker, $280, originally $380
• Sol Camp Lantern with Power Bank, $35, originally $50
• Black Diamond Zip Lantern, $26, originally $35
• Mpowerd Luci Beam 2-in-1 Solar Headlamp and Flashlight, $48, originally $70
• Nite Ize BugLit Rechargeable Micro Flashlight, $14, originally $20
• Skullcandy Rail True Wireless Earbuds, $48, originally $80
• Monster DNA Max Wireless Speaker with Wireless Charging Kit, $108, originally $180

Petzl Tikka Headlamp

We love a camping tool that’s just as useful in our regular routines. A headlamp is convenient in a lot of after-sundown scenarios, like jogging after dark, hands-free cooking on your backyard grill or pizza oven, and (of course) finding your way around your campsite. The Petzl Tikka has high, medium, and low power settings, which give it a run time of about two hours, 12 hours, or 100 hours, respectively. 

JBL Flip 7 BT Speaker

If you’re the kind of person who listens to music most of your waking hours, this Bluetooth speaker should be at the top of your list. Its compact size and 1.2-pound weight make it easy to throw in a pack, and since it’s waterproof and dustproof, you can bring it out on a kayak or to the crag without the elements compromising its sound. Or take a cue from the reviewers who place it in their showers at home.
