The REI Labor Day Sale offers some amazing clothing, gear, and footwear deals you don’t want to miss. Here are the ones that we think are too good to pass up. Autumn is the best time of the year to hike and backpack, and these products will let you do it in style!
NEMO Hornet OSMO 3P Ultralight Tent (30% off)
The NEMO Hornet OSMO 3P Ultralight Tent is an ultralight palace that weighs 2lbs 13 oz. Why bother with a cramped 2-person tent when you can carry a 3P tent that weighs less than 3 lbs.
REI Rainier Rain Jacket (30% Off)
The REI Rainier Rain Jacket is a fully-featured 2.5-layer waterproof/breathable rain jacket and hardshell good for autumn and winter hiking. It has pit zips, a two-way adjustable hood, Velcro wrist cuffs, two internal drop pockets, two external zippered pockets, and hem adjustment. It is also packable. It’s a best buy, even when it’s not on sale!
REI Flash 55 Backpack (30% Off)
The REI Flash 55 Backpack is a steal at $139. This lightweight roll-top backpack has an optional top lid, adjustable torso length, and easy-to-reach water bottle pockets. It is available in men’s and women’s sizes with a minimum weight of 2 lbs 5.6 oz.
Jetboil Sumo Cook System (25% off)
The Jetboil Sumo Cook System is a Jetboil cook system sized for two people instead of one. It boils water like a champ, and it’s large enough to simmer meals in the pot for gourmet dinners on the trail.
Leki Khumbu Lite Trekking Poles (25% Off)
We recommend Leki’s Khumbu Lite Trekking Poles because they have cork handles with an 8-degree positive grip angle to keep wrists more comfortable and less irritated. Made with aluminum, they have external flick-lock style lever locks with an interchangeable basket system, so you can use them year-round.
REI Magma 15 Sleeping Bag (30% Off)
We love the new REI Magma 15, an exceptional sleeping bag, perfect for fall-weather camping and backpacking. It’s available in multiple sizes for men and women.

We’re big fans of Black Diamond’s Storm 500-R rechargeable headlamp. The Spot 400-R, and the Astro 300-R are also on sale.
La Sportiva Wildcat Trail Runners (25% Off)
The La Sportiva Wildcat is a fast-drying trail runner with solid toe protection to keep your toenails intact and a sticky sole that provides great grip on wet or dry rock.
Sawyer Squeeze Water Filter System (25% off)
The Sawyer Squeeze Water Filter System is the number #1 water filter used by hikers and backpackers to make natural water sources safe to drink.
Danner 2650 Hiking Shoe (25% off)
If you prefer hiking shoes’ added protection and durability, you’ll love the Danner 2650, available in regular and wide sizes for men and women. These shoes are also available in waterproof/breathable versions and as mids.
All Darn Tough Socks (25% Off) – Sock Up
All Darn Tough Socks are 25% off. These indestructible wool and lycra socks are the most popular hiking socks today. If they ever get holes or wear thin, Darn Tough will replace them for free! Guaranteed!
