    REI Is Having A 50% Off Sale, So It's The Perfect Time To Grab A New Water Bottle (Seriously, Your Old One Is Gross)

    Because the only thing that can make the great outdoors even greater is some awesome new gear.

    Calling all my fellow adventurers and outdoor gear junkies! REI is having an up to 50% off sale featuring some awesome steals on gear and clothing! So hike, bike, run, kayak, or swim your way on over to the sale and get shopping while you still can – however you get here, just get here fast because good prices and future adventures are waiting for you!

    Let's explore some of the top sale finds together:

    1. A running hydration vest for all the long-distance runners who are fed up with carrying a water bottle in your hand. This has a super easy-to-drink-from 1.5 L reservoir *and* plenty of storage space for your phone, keys, and other essentials.

    2. A down parka if you want tons of warmth, with only a fraction of the weight you'd expect from a traditional down coat. This extra long coat is super lightweight and even packs down into its own pocket! Plus, the cinched waist means you'll even look stylish in a puffy coat for once.

    3. A pair of thick double-layer trail pants because they're durable, a tiny bit stretchy, and trendy – a.k.a. great for work and play!

    4. An athletic compression tight designed to keep you comfy, warm, and safe as you run, hike, or just move about town. They've got plenty of ventilation, a drawstring waist for an adjustable fit, sun-protective fabric, and even reflective tape, so you can jog extra-safely in the evening.

    5. A down camp blanket so you can get super snuggly on all your outdoor camping trips and adventures. Sometimes a sleeping bag just doesn't cut it, especially around the campfire. This blanket is water-repellant, machine-washable, and rolls down to the size of a water bottle (!).

    6. A fleece beanie because a cozy hat is one of those absolute must-have-layers when you're packing for a hiking or camping trip. You'll be amazed at how much warmer you'll feel just from covering up your ears and noggin.

    7. A pair of winter cycling gloves featuring water-repellant GoreTex on the outside and a cozy fleece lining inside, so you never have to worry about your fingers freezing off the handlebars during your cold-weather rides. Weather may be warming up now, but it's never too early to start prepping for next year. Bonus! They're touch-screen compatible, which means no need to expose your hand to check the map or answer that text (please don't attempt to use your electronic devices while you bike, gloves or not).

    8. A pair of flannel lounge pants since you'll feel all those warm and cozy cabin vibes whenever you snuggle up in these plaid PJs, whether you're actually camping or not.

    9. A light-support cropped sports bra top that's super soft and sweat-wicking with minimal seams (a.k.a. it's comfy and chafe-free), making it perfect to wear as a low-impact sports bra or as a casual top paired with high-waisted pants.

    10. A pair of ankle leggings because they're so soft and stretchy, you'll want to wear them everywhere, from workouts and hikes to lounging around and running errands...and there's really no reason *not* to live in these babies 24/7!

    11. A French terry knit jogger to keep you comfy and cozy wherever your travels bring you, whether that's a nature trail or your couch.

    12. A GoreTex ski jacket because they really thought of everything when designing this piece for the skiers and boarders. It has a helmet-friendly hood, a high collar to block the blowing snow, ventilating pit zips, a powder skirt, shaped cuffs AND tons of pockets, including a special wrist lift pass pocket. Wowee, talk about feeling ready to hit the slopes. ⛷

    13. A hybrid cycling jacket with four-way stretch, a water-repellant finish, lots of pockets, and plenty of layering options, so you can ride in comfort, no matter what the weather. And yes, it's reflective, too.

    14. A thermal shirt because it's not just any old flannel. Designed with cold-weather hiking in mind, it's made with special hollow-core yarn to trap warmth and wick away moisture (the ideal combo) and even has a loop for holding your sunglasses. Plus, it's also perfectly cute and cozy, should you just want to wear it for casual outings, too.

    15. A six-foot long neutral tone scarf with fringed detailing, if you're looking for a chic, cozy, and *super versatile* accessory – tie it in all sorts of styles as a neck scarf, wrap it around your shoulders as shawl, and more!

    16. A quarter-zip 100% cotton top that's just warm enough for cooler weather, while still being fairly lightweight and casual-chic enough for the office, dinner, or the hiking trail.

    17. An insulated kids' rain jacket because you want them to stay dry and warm when they inevitably insist on playing outside in the rain and puddles. Carry on, kiddos!

    18. A wide-mouth Nalgene with a special REI logo, since anyone who's a big REI gearhead also knows just how important it is to stay hydrated – and the general consensus among outdoor enthusiasts is that these trusty water bottles are basically indestructible.

    19. A lightweight insulated vest to keep your core warm in style. And since it folds into its own pocket, it's basically functional fashion on-the-go, so you might as well throw it in your bag on all your trips, just in case.

    20. A waffle pullover sweater since you can really never have too many cozy and chic long-sleeve layers. It's a perfect choice for casual social events, campfire hangs, or just staying warm around the house.
