The first time I threw on a Nano Puff jacket, I thought to myself, "How the heck is this thing going to keep me warm?" It's way less puffy than down-insulated coats, but it managed to do the trick in the middle of the desert in the wintertime as temps dipped below freezing, all without making me look like the Michelin Man.

If you're looking for the Patagonia jacket to roll up and throw in your backpack when there's a chance of showers, this is the one — and at this price, it's tough to beat. It comes in a variety of colors and sizes, so finding the right one should be a piece of cake.

Want protection from the rain but something that's a bit more fashionable than your everyday jacket? This is exactly what you're looking for. It's a bit more relaxed than normal rain gear which helps when it comes to layering, is made from recycled materials and strikes a nice balance between street-style and performance trailwear.

As someone with Scandinavian and Irish ancestry, I've been betrayed by the sun more times than I can count. I also hate putting on sunscreen. I find it greasy and annoying, and I always forget to do it until it's too late. That's where a lightweight, sun-blocking shirt like this one can literally be a lifesaver, keeping the UV rays away all day long.

Hokas may have opted out of REI's sale, but never fear! These On sneakers are just as comfortable and — I say this as a wearer of both brands — more stylish too.

I live in Colorado, a state known for its hiking trails and outdoorsy residents. When it comes to hiking boots, I see these Merrells on the trails more often than I see any other hiking boot. The Moab is iconic, and for good reason: comfort and durability. If your walks tend to take you off the beaten path, these boots are for you. They're even Yahoo's pick for the best hiking boots of 2025.

The cooler that started it all. The Tundra will keep your food and drinks cold for days, even in blistering 90°F heat (I've tested it). It's incredibly durable too. I once checked mine on a flight, and when I got to baggage claim, it came tumbling down the carousel onto the hard tile floor — didn't even get a scratch.

I have traveled all over the world with my Black Hole duffels. They've been thrown in the back of a truck on long road trips, rained on, snowed on and dropped onto the tarmac as they were being loaded onto a plane. While they have a scuff here and there, they still protect all of my clothing and gear like they did when they were brand new. 

$135 at REI

Carry enough duffels and you'll start to question your life choices. Example: "Was saving a few bucks even worth it when you consider the chiropractor bills?" The Black Hole wheeled duffel comes in multiple sizes, including a carry-on, and it's backed by a lifetime guarantee. That's a great perk when you see how rough some of those baggage handlers can be.

When it comes to fitting all of your stuff in a backpack that'll slide easily under the seat in front of you, the Mini MLC is my go-to. In fact, both my wife and I have one for exactly that purpose. It can easily hold enough clothes for a week's worth of travel and has a bunch of pockets to organize all of the tech you bring along with you as well.

This is my personal choice for tent camping most of the time. It's spacious enough for my family of three and I like the vestibule as a place to store gear that isn't inside the tent itself. It's easy to set up with two people.

$332 at REI

Got camping plans for the entire family? While a tent might say it fits four people, remember that is a limit, not what will be comfortable. You'll be better off going big, like this six-person tent that not only has enough room to stand up in, but room for your gear in the included vestibule should foul weather join you on your trip. The 8-person version is also on sale.

Like to sleep in? This tent is for you. With enough room for two, possibly three people and their stuff, this tent is perfect for couples and small families looking to get outside and enjoy nature. The Dark Room feature means that no matter what time of the day it is, you can crawl inside and block out all of the sun, which also makes it nice and cool inside as well.

If you're looking for the best down mummy bag for your money, you'll be hard-pressed to find one better than the Magma 15. Like its name suggests, it'll keep you warm. I fit square in the middle of the size chart for Medium and though it is snug, it's not restricting. I really like the anti-snag zipper as well.

I have a distinct memory of my dad trying to pull into our garage with an incredibly tall roof box on, demolishing the box and our siding at the same time. This one, though larger in volume, is much lower profile, so it probably would've fit easily and definitely would've given us better gas mileage. Of course, in the '90s, we weren't so concerned about that (Ford Excursion anyone?).

There are very few companies whose products I use every single day. Apple is one, Patagonia is another. Yeti is the third I can think of. Whether I'm at home or on vacation thousands of miles away, my Yeti Rambler isn't far behind. It's perfect for my morning coffee (I drink a lot, perhaps too much), and once that's done, I fill it up with water or iced tea and stay hydrated the rest of the day. To me, it's no contest between this and a Stanley. Yeti is the clear winner.
