Black Friday has become a shopping season of its own, with retailers once again offering discounts well ahead of the actual shopping holiday. We’ve already rounded up some of the best early Black Friday deals we’ve come across, but if you’re looking to save on outdoor gear or pick up something for an upcoming trip, REI’s annual Holiday Sale, which runs through November 23rd, is worth checking out.
As usual, the outdoor retailer is offering discounts on everything from smartwatches to camping equipment. In some cases, we’re seeing some of the lowest prices we’ve seen on our favorite wearables, including Garmin’s Forerunner 570, while gadgets like the InReach Mini 3 are also receiving sizable discounts. REI members can also use promo code HOLIDAY2026 to save 20 percent on one full-price item, plus an additional 20 percent on one REI Outlet item.
To save you time, we’ve sifted through the deluge of discounts to find an assortment of deals we recommend here at The Verge. We’ve also noted when competing retailers are offering lower prices on the same items, so you can be sure you’re getting the best deal possible.
