51 Best REI Early Cyber Monday Deals 2025

After working for years as an outdoor gear outfitter, I can tell you exactly how the next month is going to look. Right after Thanksgiving, a trickle of savvy shoppers will shrug off the Thanksgiving sleepiness to knock out their holiday shopping in advance—then, three weeks later, the folks who succumbed to that nap-inducing tryptophan will rush to grab everything they need days before it’s due under the tree. After combing through REI’s Cyber Monday offerings, I can confidently say that the best deals await that tireless first group.

You may still be a bit groggy after feasting with your family, but have no fear. Beyond my experience in outdoor retail, I also have over a decade of camping and hiking experience under my belt, and I’ve already done the deal-hunting legwork for you. From giftable accessories for outdoorsy coffee lovers to warm base layers for winter treks and practical gadgets for the hikers in your life, this list is a one-stop shop for all your gear needs. Discounts are up to 50 percent off, but they won’t last long, and I’m sure that turkey is hitting hard—check out these deals, then kick back and take that well-earned nap.

As a self-professed gearhead and coffee snob, I was excited to receive my AeroPress for Christmas years ago. I expected it to be a great fit for my camp coffee needs, but I was so blown away that it’s become a part of my daily routine—if I were you, I’d be sprinting to pick one up while it’s on sale for $38. Coffee isn’t as pleasant without a spot to sit and enjoy it, though, so pair it with the Gci Outdoor Freestyle Rocker Chair, the comfiest camp chair I’ve tested, on sale for $72. Plus, there are plenty of camp gadgets on sale, too. Before heading out into the backcountry, pick up a Garmin inReach Messenger, 33 percent off, to stay in touch off the grid. Then, charge up back at base camp with this beefy Anker 25,000 mAh Laptop Power Bank, marked down to $90.

You might say that I have too many hiking packs, but I’d argue that it makes me an expert—plus, they’re so much fun. In my time as an outfitter, I’ve been consistently impressed with the craftsmanship of Deuter’s Aircontact Core 60 + 10 SL Pack. If you’ve been trying out packs for a longer hiking trip and haven’t found anything that fits you just right, I’ve seen lots of hikers have Goldilocks moments with this pack—at 30 percent off, it’ll feel extra right. For shorter treks, check out the Gregory Nano 18 Daypack, just $57 to stash all your essentials, or the Osprey Manta 34 Hydration Pack, currently 25 percent off, with an internal frame for heavier loads.
