Forget Prime Day and Black Friday — get up to 70% off REI apparel including Arc’teryx, Obermeyer, HOKA and more
Hoka, Obermeyer, Arc'teryx, Cotopaxi, and The North Face gear are all on sale right now
The Prime Day deals have come and gone, but there are still bargains out there for those looking for discounts on outdoor apparel. I’ve been scouring REI — one of my favorite places to find affordable gear — for the best deals.
These apparel items are some of the best hiking essentials. I personally own the HOKA Speedgoat GTX trail shoes, and the non-GTX version HOKA Speedgoat 5 trail shoes are on sale for just $124 right now. The shoes are $184 on Amazon, so REI is really showing Amazon up.
Big names such as Arc’teryx, Obermeyer (I also own an Obermeyer jacket, which I love), The North Face, and Cotopaxi, are also discounted by up to a massive 70% in this REI deal rivaling even Black Friday prices.

Smartwool Ski Cushion Pattern Calf Socks (Men's): was $28 now $17
Smartwool makes the best darn ski socks I've ever rocked. Constructed from 59% Merino wool, these bad boys are designed to keep your feet warm and dry no matter how long you stay on the mountain shredding the gnar.
Patagonia Down Sweater - Men's was $279 now $138 @ REI
This is described as a 'sweater' but it's actually a light jacket. In fall, you'd be fine with just this and a t-shirt if it's not too brisk (or if you're hiking super fast!). The down insulation means it'll keep you warm and the outer shell is made from recycled fishing nets — so you can buy this and feel good about it. It's available in this bright teal color and gold on sale.
The North Face Circaloft Quarter-Zip Insulated Pullover - Women's was $220 now $87 @ REI
This women’s jacket is available in XS and S at time of writing. According to the REI user reviews, it runs true to size, so would be best for those wanting a snug fit. The color choices are gorgeous — I would personally go for the almond butter shade. The jacket is treated with a durable water repellent (DWR) so should keep you dry during inclement weather, too. It’s packable into a bag so perfect for those days when you don’t know if it’s going to be sunny or rainy!
Obermeyer Ridgeline Insulated Jacket with Faux Fur - Men’s was $399 now $118 @ REI
I have an Obermeyer jacket — but it’s a bit older than this one! It was my dad’s in the ‘90s — there are old pictures of him wearing it while holding baby me — and now it’s mine, which just proves how well made Obermeyer’s products are. I hope this jacket will last you as long as mine has! This is on sale in burgundy only, and the faux fur hood is oversized, meaning you can fit your skiing/snowboarding helmet underneath.
Patagonia Nano Puff Hoodie (Men's): was $289 now $143 @ REI
The Patagonia Nano Puff Hoodie is nothing short of legendary when it comes to our favorite garments for layering in the colder month. Lightweight, super-comfy and highly packable, this puffy jacket also boasts a healthy amount of synthetic insulation to keep you warm and solid resistance to wind and moisture. Right now, REI has a decent selection of sizes still available in Conifer Green, which is mighty easy on the eyes, IMHO.
Patagonia Houdini Half-zip (Men's): was $139 now $96
Stylish, ultra-lightweight and supremely packable, the Houdini jacket is nothing short of pure magic. The half-zip version weighs just 3.7 ounces yet provides surprisingly good protection from the cold and elements. It can also be stuffed easily into a pocket. Choose from three fun styles and plenty of sizes.
Arc’teryx Atom Insulated Hoodie - Women’s was $300 now $210 @ REI
The titan of outdoor gear, I feel like Arc’teryx is hardly ever on sale, so this is a great discount. The pricey hooded jacket is DWR-treated and insulated, which means it’ll keep you warm and dry during skiing and winter hiking. The hood is suitable to be worn with hats and helmets, too, making this a great option to snag before winter. The jacket is available in a lovely dark sage green color and magenta in sizes ranging from XS-XXL.
Arc'teryx Atom Insulated Hoodie (Men's): was $300 now $210 @ REI
Dudes can also get in on the Arc'teryx Atom Insulated Hoodie goodness, with three colors to choose from, including Chloris green (shown here), which has the best size availability. Like the women's version, this high-tech piece of gorpware features all the bells and whistles to keep you warm, dry, well-ventilated and happy in a range of winter conditions.
HOKA Speedgoat 5 Trail-Running Shoes - Women’s was $155 now $124 @ REI
As I mentioned earlier, I personally own and use the HOKA Speedgoat GTX trail running shoes, which are the Gore-Tex version of these shoes. I love my HOKAs — they actually make me feel like I want to run when wearing them. The soles are so bouncy and propel me across the sidewalk or trail ground. These sale shoes are available in the following colors: blue and coral, fuschia, harbor mist (a grayish blue/green). These awesome trail shoes are $184 @ Amazon, so this REI deal is much better.
Cotopaxi Abrazo Fleece Hooded Full-Zip Jacket - Men’s was $135 now $94 @ REI
The famous Cotopaxi is mostly known for its bright-colored backpacks, but it makes amazing jackets, too. This fleece-lined jacket is hooded and insulated, making it perfect for leisurely walks in fall and early winter. While it’s not waterproof, you could pair this with a waterproof jacket for the ultimate layering situation. I love the brightly colored zip portion and the muted colors of the fleece. This jacket is available in all sizes right now, which I don’t expect will last long.
Helly Hansen Odin 9 Worlds 3.0 Shell Jacket: was $475 now $349 @ REI
Another respected outdoor brand, Helly Hansen makes some quality outerwear, such as this waterproof breathable shell, which weighs just over 1 pound, has zippered vents, a RECCO rescue system transponder, and has a hood that's compatible with helmets. Yes, it only comes in two colors, but we happen to like blue.
HOKA Speedgoat 5 Mid GTX Walking Boot (Men's): was $180 now $125 @ REI
The walking boot version of the Speedgoat 5 is a great lightweight option for hiking, with a waterproof design and a trusty Vibram outsole. The men's boot is available in two colors and most sizes in the REI sale, while there are just a few sizes left of the women's boot.
As I personally own and use HOKA Speedgoat GTX trail shoes, I wholeheartedly recommend these sneakers. They feel like walking on clouds and I have worn them for up to 16 hours (on a really long day trip!) and my feet were pampered the whole time. I’m also obsessed with the Cotopaxi fleece jacket and the Arc’teryx hooded jacket — make sure you snap these up while you still can!
