REI Anniversary Sale: Big price cuts on Patagonia, Osprey, and The North Face

Spring and summer are the seasons for hiking, camping, backpacking, and other excursions into the great outdoors, and with Memorial Day weekend coming up, now’s the perfect time to grab some quality gear. The REI Anniversary Sale offers a great opportunity to stock up while enjoying some bargains on new kit from brand names like Osprey, Patagonia, and the North Face, not to mention some sweet smartwatch deals. Below, we’ve smoked out some of the best deals of the bunch that can save you hundreds on backpacks, jackets, and tents, and if you want to see all the discounts that are on tap right now, be sure to check out the whole REI Anniversary Sale here.

REI Backpack Deals

REI Anniversary Sale

A good backpack is (aside from food, water, and other survival essentials) arguably the most important part of your loadout. It’s what you use to carry everything else, and a bad one is the surest way to make you miserable on the trail. A quality pack, on the other hand, lets you haul your gear comfortably, which you will appreciate when you’re miles into a hike off the beaten path.

Osprey and Patagonia make some of the best rucks and backpacks on the market today, and whether you’re looking for a compact daypack for overnighter or two-day trips, mid-sized packs for weekend and three-day excursions, or large rucksacks for longer adventures and thru-hikes, the REI Anniversary Sale should have something for you:

  • Osprey Aether AG 60 liter backpack — $218 ($72 off)
  • Osprey Skarab 18 liter hydration daypack — $64 ($20 off)
  • Patagonia Black Hole 60 liter duffel — $97 ($32 off)
  • Osprey Transporter 130 liter duffel — $135 ($45 off)
  • Osprey Atmos AG 50 liter backpack — $180 ($60 off)

REI Jacket Deals

Patagonia TorrentShell

Spring brings lots of rain along with that nice warm weather, although it can still get pretty chilly at night even as we head into the sultry summer months (and if you’re outdoors in or around desert regions, then cold nights are an even bigger concern). Even if you think you won’t need it, it’s never a bad idea to pack an extra layer to keep you warm and protected from unexpected rain.

From rain jackets to fleece zip-ups and insulated puffers, these deals on outerwear from top brands like Patagonia and The North Face are just the ticket for keeping you comfortable on the trail and for staying cozy when you’re sitting around the campfire on those cool evenings:

  • Patagonia Stretch Rainshadow hooded men’s jacket — $199 ($60 off)
  • Patagonia Houdini hooded men’s jacket — $69 ($30 off)
  • Patagonia Torrentshell hooded men’s jacket — $90 ($39 off)
  • The North Face ThermoBall insulated men’s jacket — $149 ($50 off)
  • The North Face Glacier Alpine fleece women’s jacket — $52 ($18 off)

REI Tent Deals

REI Anniversary Sale

Hammocks are a lot of fun, but nothing beats a nice cozy tent for giving you your own little home away from home no matter where you happen to be. Tents are high-ticket items, though, so deals are always welcome, and this is where you have the chance to save the most cash when getting ready to head out into the wilderness with a good lightweight shelter on your back.

The REI Anniversary Sale offers some juicy deals on a variety of tents from some of our own favorite makers like REI Co-op, Big Agnes, and The North Face. Here’s a selection of two- and four-person tents that offer a lot of lightweight versatility as well as some of the biggest discounts on our roundup:

  • The North Face Golden Gate 4 tent — $186 ($63 off)
  • REI Co-op Half Dome 2 Plus tent — $160 ($69 off)
  • REI Co-op Kingdom 4 tent — $279 ($120 off)
  • Big Agnes C Bar 2 tent — $150 ($50 off)
  • Big Agnes Battle Mountain 2 tent — $525 ($175 off)

Best Buy 48-hour flash sale discounts Dyson cordless vacuums
Dyson V15 Detect

Best Buy's 48-hour flash sale includes price cuts for various models of Dyson cordless vacuums, so if you've had an eye on these cleaning devices for a while, now's your chance to get one for much cheaper than usual. There are a lot of options to choose from though, so we've gathered our favorite Dyson deals to help you with your decision. You shouldn't wait until the last minute of the sale to make your purchase because stocks may be gone by then, so if you see an offer that you like, you should buy it immediately.
Dyson V7 Advanced Origin -- $300, was $400

The Dyson V7 Advanced Origin is one of the brand's more affordable cordless vacuums, but it still has what it takes to keep your whole home clean with its powerful suction and whole-machine filtration that captures pet allergens and fine dust while expelling clean air. The cordless vacuum also features a detangling Motorbar cleaner head, which deep cleans carpets and hard floors while clearing pet hair from the brush bar using hair removal vanes. It quickly switches to a handheld vacuum with one click, and it can run for up to 40 minutes on a single charge.

GoPro Hero 11 Black action camera is $100 off at Best Buy
The GoPro Hero 11 Black on a rock with barnacles next to the ocean.

If you've been waiting for a discount on the GoPro Hero 11 Black, check this out -- the action camera is down to $400 from Best Buy, for savings of $100 on its original price of $500. GoPro is still the most trusted name in the action camera space, so we expect this offer to attract a lot of attention and possibly sell out quickly. If you want to get the device for cheaper than usual, you're going to have to proceed with the purchase as soon as you can.

Why you should buy the GoPro Hero 11 Black
The GoPro Hero 11 Black looks very similar to the GoPro Hero 10 Black, which is a pro-consumer move because that means you can keep using accessories from the older model when you upgrade. All of the improvements are under the hood though, including a larger sensor that will let you shoot horizontal and vertical footage at the same time without having to choose between the two formats. The GoPro Hero 11 Black can shoot 5.3K video at up to 60 frames per second, 4K at up to 120 frames per second, and 2.7K at up to 240 frames per second for super slow-motion.
