REI Co-op is having a massive Patagonia, The North Face and Helly Hansen clearout – here are 8 deals I’d buy
I scrolled through REI’s big sale so you don’t have to

The REI Co-op sale is a goldmine of outdoor gear deals, but let’s be honest: not all discounts are worth your dollars. Some stuff’s been sitting in virtual clearance bins for months, while other pieces are genuinely brilliant buys that rarely go on offer.
So I did what any gear-loving editor would do: I trawled through the listings to find the good stuff. And even though there were quite a few of them, I selected only eight for this roundup. You'll find hundreds more via the link above (if you're interested).
From lightweight trail layers and beach-ready boardshorts to insulated vests and stormproof jackets, these are the deals that caught my eye; the kind of pieces I’d happily wear on my own adventures. Most come from tried-and-tested outdoor brands like Patagonia, The North Face, and Helly Hansen, and all offer real value: quality gear with significant savings.
This isn’t just a roundup of what’s cheapest, it’s a curated edit of gear I’d actually recommend. Some of them I tried myself, others have been recommended by friends and acquaintances. Either way, I know they are perfect for their purpose, which is why I'm sticking my neck out recommending them.
If you're looking to upgrade your kit before your next trip (or just want an excuse to buy a ridiculously comfy flannel), scroll on. As always, it's very likely that most of these deals will be gone sooner rather than later, so if you like the look of any of the items below, don't hesitate too much before adding them to your basket.
Soft, heavyweight, and built for crisp mornings, the Fjord Flannel is the flannel shirt of your dreams. Crafted from thick organic cotton with serious lumberjack vibes, it’s ideal for layering over tees or thermals. Equal parts rugged and relaxed, this is a shirt that only gets better with age.
Lightweight, breathable, and built for movement, the Sunriser Long-Sleeve is ideal for trail runs, hikes, or breezy beach mornings. FlashDry tech wicks away sweat fast, while thumb loops and reflective details add comfort and safety. It’s performance-first design in a stylish latte shade.
Made for aquatic adventures and laid-back lounging, these boardshorts dry in a flash and look good doing it. With a 16" outseam and a vibrant coastal print, they’re perfect for paddleboarding, surfing or beach barbecues. Lightweight, stretchy, and Fair Trade Certified sewn – they tick every box.
This pullover delivers cozy warmth and a beautiful muted green tone that pairs with anything. The high collar, kangaroo pocket, and boxy fit bring elevated lounge vibes to campsite mornings or city strolls. It’s your new go-to layer for everything from forest cabins to coffee runs.
This retro-inspired pullover brings old-school charm to modern-day weather protection. Wind-resistant and water-repellent, the Isthmus Anorak is made from recycled materials and lined for extra comfort. Packable into its own pocket, it’s perfect for travel, trail, or tossing on when the breeze kicks up.
As comfy as leggings, as functional as hiking trousers. These ultra-soft, high-stretch pants live up to their name: once on, you’ll never want to take them off. Perfect for travel, lounging, and light hikes, they blur the line between activewear and loungewear in the best possible way.
This storm-ready shell is a serious bit of kit. With Helly Hansen’s breathable LIFA INFINITY membrane and RECCO reflectors, it’s built for alpine adventures, backcountry hikes, and foul-weather escapades. Fully waterproof and lightweight, it delivers elite-level protection without compromising on packability or performance.
This classic just keeps winning. Featherlight, windproof, and packed with PrimaLoft insulation, the Nano Puff Vest excels in cold temperatures. Layer it under a shell or throw it over a tee: it’s your year-round, take-everywhere thermal layer, now made with 100% recycled materials.
