Winter isn’t over just yet. But the burn from purchasing full-priced gear can be. Today, one epic mid-season sale blows in: the REI Winter Clearance.
While there are thousands of products from top outdoor gear brands at deep discounts on sale during the annual REI Winter Clearance event, we chose some with the best values on great products we love. Shop on.
Yakima SkyRise 2 Rooftop Tent: $748.93 – (31% off)
If you’re in the market for a rooftop tent, take note: REI offers both 2 and 3-person Yakima rooftop tents at a significant discount during this sale. They are a big investment, so 31 percent off equates to a lot of dough. Yakima’s entry into the rooftop tent market follows a fairly well-established design paradigm. While we haven’t tested this specific model, we’ve crawled into it at trade shows and it looks to be well made.
Outdoor Research Meteor Mittens: $55 (30% off)
Mittens are known to keep your hands warmer than gloves, whether you’re shoveling snow or ripping through the backcountry. The Meteors are surprisingly light for the waterproof protection they provide from the elements. Remove the fleece liners on warmer days, and pull back the finger hoods to expose those digits when you need them.

The DPS Cassiar is a super versatile ski for frontside and resort skiing that will be at home from groomers to powder turns. It’s a ripping ski with a 95mm waist.
