REI and Other Retailers Offer Black Friday Deals on Outdoor Gear
Sales extend beyond just televisions and Christmas presents
Black Friday has always been the prime season for shoppers to hunt down deals on televisions or to get a jumpstart on their holiday shopping. Outdoor gear has never been a big draw on Black Friday, until recently. In the past few years, with the introduction of REI’s Get Up Get Out Sale and other retailers offering their own Black Friday outdoor deals, the shopping landscape has changed. Now is a great time to score a deal on tents, backpacks, sleeping pads, and Garmin devices. While REI’s sale is over, deals that match those offering by REI with REI brand items are available elsewhere.
WIRED’s Top Deals
One of the top picks is the Mountainsmith The Tour lumbar pack which is known for its pockets, making it a sizeable pack despite its small size. The Mystery Ranch packs are also popular, lauded for their durability and innovative design. The 27L Mystery Ranch pack is an ideal size for all-day use. Other notable purchases include the GoRuck Bullet pack, Deuter Speed Lite, and Poco Child Carrier.

The Instinct 2S Solar watch is an excellent option in the sports watch category, tracking fitness features and having great battery life. The Garmin Forerunner line offers comprehensive fitness tracking suitable for running, hiking, and cycling. The GoPro Hero 12 is our favorite action camera for on-the-go outdoor adventures.
Propella, Rad Power Bikes, and Wing bikes are on sale, providing affordable options for those in the market for an electric bike. Aventon, on the other hand, offers bikes with good quality and accessories at a relatively low price point. The Fluidfreeride Mosquito escooter is lightweight but has top-notch features like a top speed of 24 miles per hour and front and rear lights.
In conclusion, Black Friday deals are no longer confined to indoor essentials. Savvy investors now have the opportunity to score deals on outdoor gear, from sports watches and action cameras to electric bikes and scooters. This change in the retail landscape provides a great time for outdoor enthusiasts to invest in gear that will fuel their excitement for outdoor adventures.
