REI stands as one of the best outdoor retailers in the US. But it's famously rejected the notion that we should spend the holiday period of Thanksgiving at the mall. Since 2015, REI has closed its physical stores on Black Friday, adopting the slogan "Opt Outside," which encourages us (and REI employees) to take the day off as an opportunity to explore the outdoors. But since the weather in late November might be wet and cold, time outside requires good gear.

Thankfully, REI's Winter Sale is already underway, offering thousands of sale products that save you up to 30% through Nov. 25. The sale covers a massive range of products for camping, hiking, snow sports, and fitness trackers.

It's a great time to snag holiday gifts before the chaos of Black Friday arrives, which frees you up to enjoy a relaxing day off after Thanksgiving. If your holiday shopping list includes an outdoor enthusiast, the REI sale is worth checking out. Here are some of our top recommendations this year.

Best snow sports deal

$169.95 Save $34.06

Why we like it

Snowy winter adventures await with the MSR Evo Trail Snowshoes which are 20% off during the REI Winter Sale, bringing them down to $135.89 instead of the usual $169.95. While snowshoeing on a crisp winter day can be fantastic, getting the snowshoes on is no one's favorite part. The MSR Evo Trail aims to make that process easier with two roller buckles and toe stops that are designed to be simple to secure, even while you're wearing gloves. The stretch bindings secure your feet comfortably without squeezing or causing pressure points. The pair weighs about four pounds, so it won't be a massive weight to strap to your backpack should you be hiking up to the snowline.
