Cooler temps and falling leaves are nature’s prompt to think about fall hikes, crisp runs, and the next adventure on our bucket list.
It’s also a cue to swap out seasonal wardrobes and inventory the gear closet. And while you’re in there, see if you need a replacement or a new addition.
REI has a lot of new fall gear and apparel, some of which we’ve highlighted below. Take a look and draw inspiration to get outdoors and soak in the ever-shortening days of fall.

A fresh take on a winter classic, this REI Co-op down jacket is one you’ll want to wear beyond the campsite. The 650-fill-power recycled down gives the jacket a high warmth-to-weight ratio, which is protected by a breathable, water-repellent nylon shell fabric.
