For me, summer means one thing: It's camping season. Whether you're a backpacker, casual car camper or serious overlander, REI has gear for you, and every year they have their biggest sale right before summer starts so you can snag whatever you need for the season at a pretty nice discount. This year the sale runs May 19-29. Here are some of the deals we love.
25% off all Coleman Camping Gear
Coleman has been synonymous with camping for over 100 years. Their stove is a key piece of my camping cooking setup, and the six-person blackout tent has been keeping my family high, dry and comfortable at campsites in the Rockies for years. With this 25% off deal, you can snag everything from sleeping bags to lanterns to the highly rated Peak1 line of gear. The only exception? Fuel.
30% off all Stanley cookware
I first bought a Stanley mug over a decade ago when a trucker friend of mine showed me his banged up, dented mug that still did a better job of keeping coffee warm than my brand new insulated one. Since then Stanleys have exploded in popularity. Mugs aren’t the only thing Stanley makes. Their camp cookware ranges from $40 to $150 before the sale and will last you a lifetime, provided you take care of it. $28 for a lifetime’s worth of eating outdoors? Sounds like a steal to me.
20% off all Dometic coolers and gear
If you’re interested in overlanding, you’ve likely heard of Dometic. Makers of what they call “ecosystems of outdoor living” the items in this sale range from high quality camp chairs, faucets, refrigerators and even toilets for your overlanding and camping adventures. High quality usually means expensive, so 20% is helpful. If you’ve had your eye on the $1,400 CFX3 95 Dual Zone Powered Cooler, you can save yourself nearly $300. Not bad.
25% off all BioLite Lighting and Cook Gear
I’ve been using BioLite power banks for years to keep my phone and camera gear charged while traveling and camping, most recently on a multi-day overlanding trip on the Mojave trail. In addition to power banks, the company makes fantastically rated headlamps, which are a must have while camping (I learned this after cracking open my head on a low hanging branch in Glacier National Park while stumbling back from the restroom at night) and wood-fueled, futuristic looking cook kits like the BioLite CampStove 2+.
