🚨 REI Outlet Sale Is LIVE (2/20 -2/23 Only) — And I Did the Digging for You

Okay friends… quick little public service announcement for my hikers, travelers, and gear lovers:

REI Outlet is having a big sale right now, and everyone can shop it — but only REI members get an extra $20 off when you spend $100+ with code OUTFEB26 (online only).

If you blink, it’s trail season.
If you blink again, your size is gone. 😅

And somehow, the best deals always show up when we’re busy living life.

So instead of letting you miss it, I’ve rounded up the pieces that are truly worth your time — from brands I trust, items with standout reviews, and a few things I personally use.

Sale runs Feb 20–Feb 23.

Here’s what I’d grab before it’s gone.

☀️ 1. Mountain Hardwear Crater Lake Heavyweight Half-Zip (Women’s)

On sale: $63.73 (was $85)
🔗 Shop here: Mountain Hardware Heavyweight Half-Zip

This is the kind of layer I love for shoulder seasons and high-elevation hikes.

You get:

  • Serious sun protection

  • Warm gridded fleece interior

  • Perfect mid-layer for changing weather

Wear it alone on crisp mornings or layer it under a shell. And yes… it’s discontinued. So once sizing is gone, it’s gone.

☕ 2. CamelBak Thrive 32 oz Insulated Mug

On sale: $29.73 (was $40)

Let’s talk real life.

Finding a cup that:

  • Fits in your car cup holder

  • Doesn’t leak

  • Keeps drinks hot or cold

  • Is big enough for serious hydration

…is harder than it should be.

This one checks all the boxes. Discontinued, so best selection won’t last.

If you hike, you know. The wrong base layer can ruin a whole day.

Final Thoughts (From Me to You)

This sale runs Feb 20–Feb 23 only.
Members only. Online only. Code: OUTFEB26 for $20 off $100+.

I know how busy life gets. Between work, family, training hikes, and planning the next adventure, most of us don’t have time to constantly monitor sales.

So I went ahead and researched for you.

These are pieces I trust, brands I believe in, and items that are either highly rated or ones I personally use. Most are being discontinued or replaced with new models, which is exactly when the best deals show up.

And let’s be honest… who doesn’t love a good deal?

If something has been sitting on your list, this might be the moment to grab it before sizing disappears.

And if you end up purchasing any of these, I would truly love to hear your honest review after you’ve used it. Your experience helps other women in this community make confident, informed decisions.

Because good gear isn’t about having more.

It’s about feeling prepared, capable, and ready when the trail calls. 💛
