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.

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.

Black Friday is almost upon us. Here at Tom’s Guide, we’re checking out the best Black Friday deals 24/7. Although most of the deals are on major outlets like Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart, REI also has an amazing winter sale going on right now.

Don’t wait to shop these deals: REI’s Winter Sale ends on Monday, November 25, which means you only have 48 hours left to save. Related: ‘Buttery Soft’ Fleece-Lined Leggings Are on Sale from $15 at Amazon Before Winter

I’m a huge fan of stocking up on cycling gear when prices fall, especially right around Black Friday. Whether you ride every day, most days, or only occasionally, there are some items that are always handy to have—and that also make thoughtful gifts.

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.
