‘Tis the season for serious savings on outdoor apparel and gear. Here, we hand-pick 10 great deals from the REI Cyber Week sale
I’m not the sort of person who hankers after luxury items. I’m more likely to shop at Asos than I am at Harrods and I’m just as happy at Nando’s as I am at a Michelin restaurant. One arena in which I do fork out, however, is outdoor apparel and gear. The difference between a high-quality hiking boot and one that’s “good enough” is substantial – something I learnt the hard way on the slopes of Cotopaxi.
High quality, of course, comes with a price tag – one not easily affordable given the rising cost of living. I personally have had to become more strategic with my spending, so when I saw that the REI Cyber Week sale was live, I naturally took a peek.
