REI curates its winter gear to meet the needs of its members. Even the gear it makes sees frequent updates to keep up with the competition.
The temps are plunging, mountains are already coated with snow, and now is the perfect time to shop for winter staples like gloves, base layers, and, of course, snow pants and jackets.
Check out this selection of top gear sold at REI this winter.

Toggling between the three output settings comes via the brand’s PowerTap tech. There are also dim, strobe, and red light options.
A battery life display gives a heads-up ahead of recharge while the lockout feature can preserve the battery while stored.
