REI doesn’t put its wares on sale often, but when it does, the retailer doesn’t hold back. Well, the REI Black Friday deals are here, and as is custom, the inventory is deep and the deals are good. It’s offering 30% off a whole array of current-season gear and clothing, up to 50% off any clearance product, and 40% off anything at its outlet.

Patagonia, Hoka, The North Face, and more top brands are all up to 50 percent off Everywhere you look, Black Friday deals abound — except for REI, which celebrates the holidays with its own exclusive Winter Sale.

At 70% off, this duffel is one of the best steals hidden in REI's sale. This compact bag is great for bringing to the gym or the office, but it can also be stretched into being an overnight bag if you don't overstuff it. It's also an excellent carry-on.

The Patagonia Nano Puff Jacket is now just $118 at REI during the Black Friday sales. It's incredibly lightweight. So lightweight, in fact, that I can stash it in a day bag when I'm away hiking or in a small holdall when I teach outdoor fitness classes during winter.
