Nite Ize Radiant 170 Rechargeable Headlamp: was $24 now $16
Quality headlamps aren't just for camping, they also make a great addition to any emergency kit.

REI Collapsible Packing Cubes: was $32 now $22
I own this exact set of REI Packing Cubes — also picked up on sale, of course — and have used them on many occasions for trips short and long, including a recent ten-day cross-country excursion. They're tough-built and come in two handy sizes. One zipper opens and closes the main compartment, and a secondary one expands and collapses additional storage space.

Be one step ahead of the changing seasons with this well-priced, ridiculously soft, and cozy Columbia fleece. It features classic styles with four snap closures up top, an orange/red collar, and lowkey Columbia branding. 

Cotopaxi Tech Bucket Hat (unisex): was $40 now $29
Who knew sun protection could be so darn fashionable? Cotopaxi is a high-end outdoor brand perhaps best known for its vibrant, fun aesthetic and the Tech Bucket Hat is no exception.  It features an adjustable chin strap and is a one-size-fits-all affair. It also doesn't lose its shape when wet. 

Merrell Hydro Moc Shoes (men's): was $60 now $47
Forget Crocs, these Merrell waterproof shoes are way cooler looking and just as functional. Made from cushioned EVA foam and designed to cradle your dogs in comfort, the Hydro Mocs are ideal for hitting the beach, lake, river, or pool in style.

REI Trailmade Rain Jacket (women's): was $69 now $48
A quality rain jacket never goes out of style, especially a lightweight, packable option like the REI Trailmade. For less than $50 you're getting a well-constructed shell with two layers of waterproof material, an adjustable hood and hem,  zippered hand pockets, and an inner mesh liner for breathability. 

REI Trailmade Rain Jacket (men's): was $69 now $48
Dudes can also get their hands on the REI Trailmade Rain Jacket deal for the same great sub-$50 price. I've personally worn this sucker out and about in Seattle downpours — we know a thing or two about rain here — without so much as a drop of moisture getting in. It also looks real fresh in Ryegrass Green/Woodland Olive (shown). 

Eno DoubleNest Hammock: was $74 now $49 @ REI
The Eno DoubleNest is designed for two people with a maximum weight load of 400 pounds and 9.5 feet of length to stretch out on.
