With sunny colorblocking to ward off the gray of winter, this deceptively thin-looking jacket is, in fact, extremely warm on chilly fall and winter days. Plus, it packs into its own pocket so you can carry it with you as a backup layer.
This bright-orange packable puffer is made to make a statement whether the windchill gets frosty, you’re heading to work or you’re hitting the slopes. If you’re a REI member, it’s eligible for an additional 20% off too.
This shacket is a great on-trend piece now that fall is on the horizon. It can easily be layered up or down, and we love the brown tones that go with this year’s latte-inspired palettes too.

Fjållråven’s been making gear for the trails and slopes for decades, and these stretchy winter trousers are fantastic for cold days out hiking, thanks to a ton of pockets and four-way-stretch fabric, plus cinches at the ankles to keep moisture and snow out.
We love the warm tones and layerability of this shacket — perfect for bridging the gap between warmer days and breezier evenings, or for using as a midlayer come properly cold weather. Plus, it’s eligible for an additional 20% off if you’re an REI member.
REI Labor Day camping deals
It may not be the lightest option from our list of favorites, but REI’s foolproof backpacking tents are still some of the best on the market. This model boasts an even more affordable price tag that is well below what you'll pay for the competition while throwing in a footprint to boot.
We think that this compact chair will become a staple of any campsite, especially with its collapsible design that hardly takes up any room when not in use. We also love its sibling, the REI Co-op Flexlite Camp Chair, which also happens to be on sale.
This side table is perfect for meal prep and so much more. It folds down for conveniently storing away and has a durable powder-coated top to withstand years' worth of camping.
Who says that camping means you can't get a comfortable night of sleep? We certainly think you deserve it, and this folding cot will do the trick while elevating you off the ground.
Give your next camping trip some added back support with a 30% discount on this REI chair. It has a built-in cup holder and would also be perfect for last-minute summer beach trips.

Keep your hands free for boulders, navigating or fire-building with this handy headlamp. You can adjust light intensity as well as color and beam shape so you get the best illumination possible for the task at hand.
This inviting sleeping bag is perfect for getting cozy in at the end of a long day hiking. It has a generous cut that lets tossers and turners do their thing, while the 650-fill-power duck down will carry you through three seasons of use.
