Courtesy of Arc’teryx Comment Loader Save Story Save this story Comment Loader Save Story Save this story Campers, hikers, and generally outdoorsy folks, it’s time to lock in. The REI 4th of July sale has great deals on hiking, camping, and backpacking essentials, so you can stock up for those summer adventures you’re not quite prepared for yet without overpaying. This year, the sale runs from June 26 through July 6, although many of the REI Outlet discounts end July 2. Backcountry and other retailers are also having sales (lucky you), and we’ve included deals from those brands as well. There are deep discounts (over 50 percent off in some cases) on everything from our favorite sleeping bags to our favorite camp chairs. We review camping and hiking gear all year-round here at WIRED, and these REI deals are on gear we’ve already tested and loved. There’s something here for nearly all our favorite summer activities—tents, stoves, backpacks, and plenty of outdoor apparel. If you’re not sure what you need, be sure to look at our guides to outdoor gear , like the Best Backpacking Tents , Best Backpacking Sleeping Pads , Best Rain Jackets , Best Merino Wool Clothes , and Best Binoculars .

AccordionItemContainerButton LargeChevron No, but REI Co-op members earn 10 percent Member Rewards on all their purchases (which you can redeem at the end of the year), and there are some special deals for members, like a coupon for 20 percent off any one full-price item. REI membership is a one-time fee of $30 . Right now, when you spend $50 on gear, you can sign up for a new membership, and REI will give you a $30 bonus card, making membership effectively free.

Courtesy of Yeti Save to wishlist Save to wishlist Yeti Tundra Haul $450 REI The Tundra Haul is our top-pick cooler . It’s expensive and big, but Yeti’s rotomolded cooler is the undisputed king for a simple reason—it keeps your stuff cold longer. The Tundra Haul is built like a tank, with 3-inch-thick insulated walls, a heavy aluminum arm, and puncture-proof, one-piece wheels. Fill this thing up and you’ll need a second person to lift it in and out of your trunk (or truck, in my case). I’ve managed to get five days of cold out of it in the insane humidity of Florida in the spring.
