The Best Deals From REI’s Annual Member-Only Sale 2023 (2024)

What we like: Intuitively designed and easy-to-erect picnic tent that offers protection from sun, bugs, and mild showers. Roof is ripstop nylon treated with a weather-resistant polyurethane. Two full-height zippered doors. Boasts a high ceiling to create a brighter, roomier environment.

Other things to know: 13 pounds. Can shelter a standard-size picnic table, but with little room to spare. Rain fly sold separately. Use REI member exclusive code MEMBER23.

What we like: Sturdy, waterproof underside. Plush, spill-resistant topside. Machine-wash and -dry (the only blanket we tested that can withstand both).

Other things to know: Pricey compared with our other picks. Comes with a carrying case. Lowest price we’ve seen in almost a year. Use single-use promo code MEMBER23 (REI members only).

What we like: Densely knit construction with a quick-drying nylon shell and recycled material stuffing. Durable and stain-resistant; weighs less than most of the competition. Dries more quickly than our top pick.

Other things to know: Our runner-up pick is stiffer, heavier, and less packable and breathable than our top pick—but it is also less expensive. Synthetic polyester fill. Available only in the single-person size and deck-stripe pattern.

What we like: Top underwear pick in our guide to the best underwear for travel. Light, stylish, and quick-drying. Hipster-style underwear doesn’t appear special but felt the most natural out of all undies we tested.

Other things to know: The price doesn’t match the lowest price ever, but it’s the first deal we’ve posted on a single pair in years. Made of nylon material. Only available in blue. Use single-use promo code MEMBER23 (REI members only).

What we like: A lightweight, comfortable hiking shoe to use all summer. The low profile and mesh exterior make them ideal for warm-weather adventures. Zero break-in time; toe box isn’t overly narrow or restrictive.

Other things to know: Recommended in our guide to gear for visiting a national park. Use REI member exclusive code MEMBER23 to get the deal price.

What we like: Comes with a non-breakable glass interior that prevents flavors from lingering in the bottle, making it ideal for coffee (versus stainless interiors). Sleek design holds hot and cold drinks. Durable and long-lasting. Lifetime warranty.

Other things to know: Only available in black. Twistable lid model of our upgrade water bottle pick. Use REI member exclusive code MEMBER23.

What we like: Out of all the tray-style hitch bike racks we tested, our top pick is the easiest to install and use. Lightweight. Can securely hold one or two bikes. Vehicle is accessible even when rack is loaded. Solid construction.

Other things to know: Not suitable for carrying some specialty and electric bikes; 40-pounds-per-bike weight limit. Use single-use promo code MEMBER23 (REI members only). Opt for store pickup to avoid outsize shipping fees.

What we like: Arguably the softest cushioned daily trainer we tried. Heavy dose of underfoot cushioning. Generously padded tongue and extended heel tab. An overall slipper-like softness. The rocker-shape sole is meant to facilitate a smooth overall stride.

Other things to know: Another option we speak well of in our guide to choosing the best running shoes. Tends to have a more narrow fit (though it comes in wide widths) with a deep footbed. Available in two colors and select sizes.

What we like:Wi-Fi-enabled probe thermometer with a magnetic base sticks to the side of your grill and supports up to four plug-in probe thermometers. Allows you to keep an eye on the temperature of what you're cooking from anywhere.

Other things to know:Two probe thermometers are included with the hub. Easy to accidentally leave on. Can only measure temperature. Easily the lowest price we've seen.

What we like: The 2023 update of our longtime sleeping bag pick for basic camping. Light, comfortable, and warm. Shell and interior are made of water-resistant polyester taffeta. Easy to clean and easy to stuff away.
