REI Co-Op Backpacking Bundle: $200 (28% off)
Interested in backpacking but don’t have the gear? You’ll be hard-pressed to find a deal better than this backpacking bundle. Included is an REI Co-op Passage 2 tent, REI Co-op Stratus Insulated Air sleeping pad, and an REI Co-op Trail Pod 30 sleeping bag. We imagine this setup would work for summer trips ranging from two days to one week. The items sold separately cost $339, and this deal is reduced for members down to $200.
Check it OutSea to Summit Comfort Plus Sleeping Pad: $118 (30% off)
This is one of the best sleeping pads we’ve ever used. It inflates in just a few breaths and deflates and rolls up quickly and easily. Even better, it has dual chambers, one on each side. So if one chamber punctures, the second chamber adds a level of redundancy. It’s also modestly insulated at R 2.5, ideal for summer use.
It weighs 1 pound 12 ounces, a little heavy for backpacking, and does make some crinkly noise when you roll over. But it’s become one of our staff favorites, and you can get it now for $118, down from $170. Use your extra 20% off code, and it costs just $94.
Check it OutThe North Face Campshire Fleece Vest – women’s & men’s: $75 (25% off)
It doesn’t get much more comfortable than a fuzzy sherpa-fleece vest like The North Face Campshire. The vest has two zippered pockets and uses heavy, voluminous fleece that doesn’t pill or degrade after washing. Available in a number of colors, the Campshire vest is 25% off at REI in men’s and women’s.

Member Exclusive REI Co-Op Hydro Flask: $38–45
