Through May 25th, REI is offering up to 30% off everything from its own REI Co-op branded gear and apparel to tents from Kelty, puffers from Patagonia, and sleeping bags from The North Face.

Many apparel items are currently 25% off while a few select products, like Hydro Flask bottles and cups are even 40% off standard retail price.

Since the company traditionally operates as a seller of other trusted brands, its Memorial Day sale includes deals for those brands, as well. It's currently offering sales up to 55% off select gear from Marmot, 30-50% off apparel from The North Face, and 25% off Black Diamond hardware including climbing gear, 4-season tents, and more.

If you demand the best multi-day packs, day bags, or more casual everyday backpacks, then you'll enjoy Osprey's current 25% off sale it's offering on almost all of its new hardware. Even the gear Osprey sold last season (which are still top-of-the-line pieces of gear), are mostly 40% off the sticker price.

If you've never owned an Osprey pack before, we can't recommend them highly enough. The brand's products consistently show up in our guides of the best hiking and backpacking gear, and for good reason. With high-quality construction, innovative suspension systems to reduce strain on your back, and thoughtful design for all sorts of outdoor adventures, an Osprey should be in everyone's kit.

If you're looking for pants you could wear to an all-day hike before heading straight to dinner, Prana is the brand you want. The same goes for dresses that work in the office or on the beach, or casual joggers that do well for both lounging and, of course, jogging.

Right now, everything prAna offers is between 25% and 30% off its standard price, with the sale lasting through Monday, May 25th. It's also currently offering free shipping for all orders with no minimum price requirements.

IceMule is keeping things clear and direct for its current sale by offering 20% off everything. This includes its classic soft-sided roll-top coolers that are perfect for slinging over your shoulder, the massive Boss backpack cooler, and even the more subtle, stylish Urbano pack.

If you need a new camp stove, headlamp, or lantern, now is the time to get it. BioLite's lineup, which includes such brilliant products as wood-burning camp stoves that generate electricity to hanging lanterns capable of illuminating an entire campsite, are top of the line in quality and thus understandably not cheap.

But with 25% off the standard price, BioLite not only competes with gear from other brands but becomes your best choice for most outdoor cooking and illumination needs. Don't forget to check out its solar panels or bike safety gear, either.

From sandals and hiking boots to trail shoes and footwear for kids, Keen has you covered. Currently, the brand offers 30% off many of the shoes, boots, and other footwear it sells. To make the sale even better, Keen will also include a child's facemask with every order containing a pair of kid's shoes.

Most of the outdoor furniture from Helinox can be spendy but what you're paying for is what isn't there: weight. Its chairs, tables, and cots all tend to be best measured in ounces, not pounds, yet most are able to support hundreds of pounds of weight themselves. The ultralight furniture it makes is perfect for the trekker who wants a comfortable campsite at the end of the day but doesn't want to lug a garage-full of gear.

Right now, everything Helinox sells is priced at 25% off its regular rate, while any order over $75 ships free. Even with 25% off, most of Helinox's gear is priced above that, meaning most orders will likely come without additional shipping cost.

Columbia Sportswear has it all. From a full line of fishing clothing and cold-weather gear ready for the Arctic to more casual hiking, running, and camping apparel, you're sure to find something that not only fits your style but your desired function, too.

Right now, just about everything in the apparel giant's catalog is on sale for 25% off its standard price. This means you shouldn't just stock up for spring and summer gear but would be wise to keep an eye on winter garb, too.
