REI's 4th of July Sale is here: Save up to 40% off all clearance gear

The 4th of July is ten days away, and savings events are already here. If your summer calendar is packed with camping trips, day hikes, and afternoons spent at the beach or park, you'll want to shop REI's 4th of July Sale before you ring in Independence Day.

REI's 4th of July Sale gives shoppers up to 40% off clearance items, including camping and hiking gear, clothes for men and women, and water sports equipment. Plus, REI Members can take 20% off any regular-priced Yeti cooler. (If you're not a member, you can join for $30 - and get a $30 REI gift card back when you sign up before July 11.) These deals are only here until July 4th, so we recommend acting on them sooner rather than later.

Best tent deal

Why we like it

Need to upgrade your tent before you hit the trails this summer? No problem. The North Face Waona 4 tent is back with a re-imagined design, upgrading from single to double-wall construction for enhanced ventilation. Plus, its color-coded poles have been re-engineered for an even simpler setup. Measuring 10 x 27 inches and weighing 13lbs when packed up, this tent is ready for adventure.

Best sleeping bag deal

Why we like it

In this year's sale, you can save 30% off REI Co-op brand's top synthetic sleeping bag, the Zephyr 25 Sleeping Bag. Made for backpacking through the spring and fall seasons, this hooded sleeping bag comes in an extensive range of sizes so you can find your most comfortable fit. We love the bag's mummy shape and the way the bag's designed to prevent insulation from shifting - avoiding unwanted cold spots during the night.

Best Yeti deal

Why we like it

REI Members are reaping plenty of benefits during this year's 4th of July Sale - most notably, 20% off one full-price Yeti cooler. This saves members $50 off of the Yeti Hopper Flip 12 Soft Cooler — a great pick to bring along camping or boating. With a shoulder strap and a top handle, this soft cooler is easy to pack up and carry, and its wide zipper also makes it easy to load and unload the cooler. With an 11.7 liter capacity and interior dimension of 11 x 9 x 8 inches, it's a great size for packing lunch, snacks, and drinks.

Best daypack deal

Why we like it

Shoppers looking for a causal daypack to bring along on quick hikes or to festivals will want to check out the Gregory Nano 22 H2O Hydration Pack. With a 3L water reservoir, you can easily stay refreshed and hydrated. Plus, it has three spacious pockets and a front bungee attachment to stash your other essentials. It's designed for comfort too, with features that help keep your back cool and your load balanced as you move.
