While everyone else is busy shopping the most popular Black Friday deals on electronics, like TVs, tools, games, and all that nonsense, I like to spend my time shopping for things I actually need. You know what I mean. The gear that rarely goes on sale or sees those deep discounts we all know and love. A perfect example is fall and winter gear, from clothing, jackets, and other apparel, to camping, climbing, travel, fitness supplies, and more. Right now, one of the best places to shop for all of that stuff, at great prices, is REI. You can expect to save up to 30% off gear and clothing in a wide variety of categories.

What to shop in the REI Winter Sale on gear and clothing

It seems obvious, but I would recommend sitting down and either considering or figuring out what gear you and your family need this winter. Actually, sit down and figure out if there’s any gear you’ll need for the coming year. Some of the items on sale are usable year-round, like camping, hiking, and fitness gear. But let’s provide some examples. In the REI Winter Sale, you can save up to 30% off The North Face apparel, up to 30% off outdoor electronics like Garmin, BioLite, and more, up to 25% off footwear, including boots, and up to 50% off jackets. Again, those are just some quick examples. There are a ton of other options in this sale.

Your best bet is to go browse the sale for yourself and see what’s available. But that’s a given.

Some other favorites of ours include up to 50% off men’s clothing and footwear, up to 20% off car racks from Thule, Yakima, and more, and up to 30% off REI co-op brand clothing and gear. REI Co-op, if you didn’t know, is the brand’s self-titled apparel line and they really do make some great stuff.

  • NEMO Stargaze Reclining Camp Chair — $150, was $250
  • REI Co-op Big Haul 34-inch Rolling Duffel — $209, was $299
  • GoPro HERO12 Black — $300, was $350
  • Garmin inReach Mini 2 Walkie-Talkie — $300, was $400
  • REI Co-op Base Camp 6 Tent — $384, was $549
  • Thule T2 Pro XTR 2-Bike Hitch Rack — $600, was $750
  • Yakima SkyBox NX 18 Roof Box — $639, was $799
  • Garmin Tacx NEO 2T Smart Trainer for Bikes — $900, was $1,400

Tents, camping chairs, outdoor electronics like smartwatches, GPS trackers, and walkie-talkies, sleeping bags, running shoes and boots, the list goes on and on. That’s precisely why I recommend taking a look through everything that’s on sale instead of just writing all of this information off. I know Black Friday officially kicks off next week but these are some incredible discounts nonetheless. It may not even be worth waiting for more, if you see something in here you want or need.

Subdued colors and luxurious fabrics define Buck Mason FW2024
Fall blues, browns, and grays dominate the collection
Buck Mason coat and sweater

The fall season is when the colors of the world begin to show off. The brilliant oranges, reds, yellows, and greens shine through the summer's looks of vegetation to remind you that, while the season is the sign that change is coming, they are still alive and well for the time being. For the man's wardrobe, that tends to be the opposite direction. While the world is showing off its majestic hues, we men tend to subdue our colors and go in for the deeper colors that don't shine as brightly. Burgundy, forest green, brown, gray, and blue seem to reign during these months. Maybe we don't want to steal the Earth's thunder. In any case, Buck Mason leaned heavily into the idea with their new fall lineup. The Buck Mason fall collection lands with a healthy grouping of cashmere, flannel, and some very select colors perfect for the autumn.
A collection of blues, grays, and browns

When you look at the new collection from one of our favorite brands, the first thing that will stand out is the commitment to the subdued hues of the fall tradition. The browns of the tweed overcoat and the rugby polo will work perfectly as you walk through the park in the changing foliage. The blues of the sport coat, suit, and denim will keep you stylishly casual in the office, and the gray scale from black to white will bring it all together in a sensationally timeless capsule that speaks volumes for the season.

Tua Tagovailoa uses inspiration from his roots in collab with Perry Ellis
Perry Ellis x Tua Tagovailoa are Always Ready

Perry Ellis was a pioneer in the fashion industry. He never seemed to want to do things the way everyone else did. He was the kind of man who was always forward-thinking and wanted fashion to be fun, not just stylish. His brand continues to be on the cutting edge of fashion, always making statements you can carry in your daily wardrobe. The brand does it again with another Perry Ellis x Tua Tagovailoa collaboration that blends the superstar quarterback's elevated fashion sense with his roots in Hawaii.

"I don't make fashion -- I make clothes," the late designer once said. "The clothes cross all the points of my personal lifestyle. They're to wear in the city or the country, to work, or to go out." The sentiment rings true still today with the new collection with Tua, who finds the same cross point with his style and his heritage.
