REI makes its own outdoor gear marked by the REI Co-op brand logo. Trusted, affordable, and built for everyday adventures, this is REI’s top-selling in-house gear this year.
From down jackets and sleeping bags to tents and travel bags, there are more than 1,000 REI Co-op brand items in REI stores and online. But each one must pass a sustainability check: REI doesn’t take adding more outdoor gear into the market lightly. In fact, it measures every Co-op product footprint and tests each against an industry index for sustainability.
The extra effort in stewardship pays off. REI Co-op brand merchandise consistently sells well and makes loyalists out of REI shoppers. But it also sets eco-conscious supply-chain standards for the other brands REI sells as well.
