Do you already have plans for enjoying the outdoors this summer? Maybe you’re going to paddle down some whitewater, backpack through a canyon, or climb a Colorado 14er. Or if that sounds like too much work, there’s nothing wrong with staying home and swaying in a hammock while sipping a piña colada in the backyard.
However you plan to enjoy Memorial Day Weekend — and all your other spare time this summer — the sales around Memorial Day have some of the best deals all year for buying the gear that amplifies your fun.
The 10 Best Memorial Day Deals
Osprey: Up to 40% Off
Standout deal: We rarely see stellar discounts from Osprey — especially on the brand’s beloved backpacking packs. That’s why the brand’s Memorial Day Sale is so welcome. This week, you’ll find 25% off discounts on sweet gear from Osprey, including two great packs.
The men’s Atmos AG 50 and women’s Aura AG 350 will both get you to that distant mountain or campsite without emptying your wallet along the way. At 25% off, both packs currently cost $236 on the Osprey website.
Eagle Creek: 25% Off Luggage, Duffels, and Organizers
Standout deal: You’ll find plenty of great deals with the Gear Up and Get Away Memorial Day Sale from Eagle Creek. For nearly 50 years, Eagle Creek has outfitted adventure travelers everywhere with luggage, duffels, and its Pack-It organizing system.
Get away this summer with a large selection of gear at 25% off, including Cargo Hauler Duffels. The Cargo Hauler 60L Duffel Bag costs just $127 this week. Also, $150 or more orders qualify for a free Pack-It Packing Cube ($20 value).
Black Diamond: Up to 50% Off
Standout deal: Climbers will have a hard time looking away from discounts on Black Diamond carabiners and hardware, but anyone will enjoy slipping on the brand’s popular Alpenglow Hoodies.
These durable garments offer sun protection and cooling fabric to keep you safe from UV rays. They’re also super cheap, depending on the color. For certain shades and sizes, the Women’s Alpenglow Hoody will cost just $57 instead of the usual $95. The same goes for the Men’s Alpenglow Hoody, with discounted prices ranging from $57 to $71.
Solo Stove: Up to 30% Off Site-Wide
Standout deal: Any summer camping trip could use a nice flame for either cooking or just warming up the hands. This week, you’ll find extra sweet discounts on stoves, fire pits, and other products from Solo Stove.
But you won’t have to burn money to buy the Bonfire Fire Pit + Surround bundle. At $460, it’s heavily discounted and comes with a free shelter for the pit when you’re not using it.

REI Anniversary Sale: Up to 30% Off
Standout deal: No matter what you’re looking for, REI members always receive killer coupons this time of year, including 20% off one full-priced item and an extra 20% off an outlet item.
All REI brand gear will sell for 30% off this week, including Sahara Solid Long-Sleeve Shirt – Men’s, now just $45. It will make sure you stay safe in the sun this summer, whether you’re on trails close to home or deep in the mountains.
Huckberry: Up to 40% Off
Standout deal: There’s a rugged, classy aesthetic to the threads offered by Huckberry, and this year the brand is offering some of its steepest discounts ever from May 22 through Memorial Day on May 27.
Case in point: Huckberry’s Everyday Stretch Denim – Straight will sell for the 40%-off price of $58 — not bad for a good-looking pair of new pants. But look around. The site also has plenty of chinos, polos, shorts, shirts and bags on sale, too.
BioLite: 25% Off Everything
Standout deal: Sure, you could save even more bucks by buying a big fire pit, but the EcoZoom Versa looks like one of the best deals here. This rocket stove works with both wood and charcoal, and can boil water or cook food.
It’s also got a cast-iron top and a durable design that’s built to last, according to BioLite.
Nathan Sports: 25% Off Sitewide
Standout deal: Everything on the Nathan Sports website will sell for 25% off this week, and you can expect a whopping 75% off anything in the clearance section.
For our standout deal, look no further than the Pinnacle 12 Liter Women’s Hydration Race Vest, on sale for $150. I’ve been testing out this stellar little vest, and it’s wonderfully comfy and easy on the eyes. Best of all, it’s got enough pockets for even the most zealous packer.
ISLE: Up to 50% Off
Standout deal: ISLE makes some of the coolest and most versatile paddleboards around, and I’m going to plug a deal I already took advantage of: a 40% discount on the Explorer 2.
To be fair, ISLE has many killer deals through Memorial Day. But for $450, you can get a durable, inflatable paddleboard that works as a kayak or standup board — with webbing to store gear and a weight capacity to 300 pounds. I’m going river camping with that baby on the Hooch this summer. Where will you go with it?
Pearl Izumi: 25% Off Sitewide
Standout deal: Everything in the cycling wonderland of Pearl Izumi’s online store is 25% off this week, and you’ll find up to 80% discounts off clearance items.
Cyclists gearing up for summer may need a lightweight jersey to stay cool out there, and that’s exactly what the Attack Air Jersey was built to do. At $90, the shirt is also available for women and offers UPF 50+ protection.
