• The REI Outlet is offering discounts of up to 50% off on outdoor equipment like tents and sleeping bags.

• The sale is on now and continues through the end of Monday, November 1.

If you've been waiting until Black Friday or Cyber Monday to put your shopping pants on, you might want to jump into them now as REI is holding a huge sale on gear sold via the REI Outlet. From now until the end of the day on Monday, November 1, outdoor equipment like tents, sleeping bags, and hiking boots are all discounted by as much as 50% off its normal price - many of which are the best deals we've seen on gear like this.

Although REI historically avoids running Black Friday-specific sales, and instead urges people to Opt Outside during that time, it often runs similar sales in the days and weeks leading up it. This year is no different as the current REI Outlet sale has hundreds of discounts on everything from Smith ski googles and Mountain Hardwear rain jackets to Saucony running shoes and Bern bike helmets.

But that's not the only sale going on as the brand also offers special daily deals on a number of items each day until they're sold out. These are certainly the biggest discounts of the entire sale, as we've seen some items slashed by as much as 70% off.

Below are a few of the best deals we've seen so far, each of which are active through November 1.
