Footwear

La Sportiva consistently pumps out some of our favorite technical hikers and trail runners. We’ve covered thousands of miles in the Bushido III trail running shoes (men’s / women’s) and can’t overstate their confidence-inspiring traction and long-lasting durability. For hikers, the Ultra Raptor 3 shoes (men’s / women’s) deliver remarkable protection and stability for navigating challenging terrain. The Ultra Raptor ranks highly in our guide to the best hiking shoes for men, while the Bushido is a longtime staple in our guides to the best trail running shoes for men / women.


All KEEN Footwear – 25% Off

KEEN is one of the biggest names in hiking footwear. Their Targhee IV hiking boots (men’s / women’s) and low-top shoes (men’s / women’s) are some of our all-time favorites thanks to their wide fit and impressive out-of-the-box comfort. They have been mainstays on our lists of the best hiking boots for men / women and best hiking shoes for men / women for years. The Newport H2 sandals (men’s / women’s) are another standout with top-notch protection and excellent all-day comfort. Head over to our best hiking sandals for men / women guides to see how they stack up in the market.


Altra’s Lone Peak is a legendary trail running shoe, and the latest Lone Peak 9 (men’s / women’s) and Lone Peak 9+ (men’s / women’s) thoroughly impressed us in testing. The standard 9 earned our vote as the best zero-drop trail runner in our men’s trail running shoes guide, and the 9+ scored the same accolade on our women’s list. The 9+ is a little pricier but features an upgraded Vibram Megagrip outsole, while the standard Lone Peak 9 uses Altra’s in-house MaxTrac rubber.


All Danner Footwear – 25% Off

Danner footwear consistently strikes a tricky balance between performance and style. Their hiking boots and shoes are some of the best-looking on the market and surprisingly capable for technical hiking and backpacking. The Mountain Leaf 600 GTX boots (men’s / women’s) is a great example, combining an attractive, full-grain leather upper with top-end waterproofing and traction. During testing in southeastern Utah, we were able to navigate streams and rough terrain without worrying about wet feet or damaged boots. In fact, the Mountain Leaf 600 GTX was protective enough to earn the “most waterproof” title on our list of the best women’s hiking boots.


Tents

The REI Half Dome tents can pull double duty for car camping and backpacking, making them a strong value for folks who like to do a little of both. These tents provide a good balance of durability, interior space, and ease of use in an affordable package. The Half Dome 2 Plus gets our vote for backpacking, while the Half Dome 3 is more spacious and comfortable for camping. Both models are featured in our guides to the best backpacking tents and best camping tents, respectively. Note: The Half Dome 2 in Earthen Gray is a whopping 40% off, while the other sizes and colorways are 25% off.


For car campers looking for the ultimate in livability and convenience, it’s hard to beat The North Face’s Wawona 6 tent. With a spacious 75.7-square-foot interior and massive 44.7-square-foot front vestibule, the Wawona has a very open and airy feel with plenty of space to sleep, hang out, and stash gear out of the elements. There’s enough room to stand up and move around comfortably, and the interior features plenty of pockets and storage pouches for divvying up gear and small essentials. We liked the design enough to rank it at the very top of our camping tents guide.


Big Agnes Copper Spur & Tiger Wall Tents (Excluding Platinum) – 25% Off

Big Agnes’ Copper Spur line deftly balances weight and performance for backpacking. We spent more than 300 nights in the Copper Spur UL2 on several long trails – including the PCT, AT, and CDT – and came away impressed by its livability, quality, and intuitive setup in a competitively lightweight package. If you’re OK with a more involved pitch, the semi-freestanding Tiger Wall UL2 is even lighter but not overly compromised. Both tents are featured high on our list of the best backpacking tents, and the Tiger Wall is also one of our favorite ultralight tents.


Mountain Hardwear Mineral King 2 & 3 Tents– 40% Off

Like the Half Dome above, Mountain Hardwear’s Mineral King line is a great option for mixed car camping and backpacking use. The Mineral King 3 is very comfortable for two and reasonably light for hauling into the backcountry – especially if you split the weight with a partner. We road tripped with the Mineral King for six weeks and really enjoyed its balance of comfort, durability, and user-friendliness. It’s one of the top choices in our camping tents guide and a standout deal at 40% off during REI’s Labor Day Sale.


All Kelty Tents & Shelters – 25% Off

For campers on a budget, Kelty makes some truly great tents at hard-to-beat prices. Their Wireless 6 is a case in point, offering a simple but practical design that nails all the basics. The interior is roomy with a 74-inch peak height and 86.5-square-foot floor area, and we appreciate the color-coded tabs and pre-attached guylines for simplifying setup. It’s enough of a value that it earned a Budget Buy badge in our best camping tents lineup. The Daydreamer 6 also earned a spot for its light-blocking rainfly, spacious feel, and well-ventilated design.


Sleep Systems

Therm-a-Rest is a longtime leader in sleep systems, from cozy quilts to plush sleeping pads and pillows. The NeoAir XLite NXT and NeoAir XTherm NXT are two of our all-time favorite sleeping pads. Both designs are featured in our best backpacking sleeping pads guide and stand out for their exceptional warmth-to-weight ratio and above-average comfort. The XLite is a 3-season pad with an R-value of 4.5, while the XTherm is a great winter companion with an R-value of 7.3.

If you’re in the market for a quality sleeping bag, the Therm-a-Rest Boost 20 earned second place on our best camping sleeping bags list for its versatile, fully featured design. The unique center zipper allows you to alternate between a snug mummy shape and roomy rectangular design, making it easy to tailor warmth and comfort depending on the conditions. Complete your sleep setup with one of Therm-a-Rest’s pillows, like the comfy Compressible Pillow Cinch or lightweight Air Head Down – both of which are featured in our camping pillows guide.


All Sea to Summit Pads, Bags, Quilts, & Pillows – 25% Off

Like Therm-a-Rest, Sea to Summit’s sleep systems and accessories are 25% off during the Labor Day Sale. For sleeping pads, we love their Ether Light XR Insulated, which is a whopping 3.9 inches thick and made with a tough material that’s highly resistant to tears and punctures. This combination earned it a respectable finish on our list of the best backpacking sleeping pads.

The Sea to Summit Spark 15 sleeping bag (men’s / women’s) is another high-quality design that’s especially appealing for ultralight backpackers. It’s packed with lofty, 850-fill down and is remarkably warm for its weight. And don’t forget a pillow – Sea to Summit makes some of the best, including the Aeros Premium and Aeros Down, both of which scored top marks – and coveted Editor’s Pick awards – in our camping pillow lineup.


NEMO Disco Endless Promise 15 - Men's Stock Image

NEMO’s Disco 15 (men’s / women’s) and Disco 30 (men’s / women’s) sleeping bags are comfortable, roomy, and industry leaders in sustainability. Part of the brand’s Endless Promise program, these bags can be fully recycled at the end of their lifespan – from the shell to the zippers. Their spoon shape is roomier than a traditional mummy bag, which is great news for side sleepers and those prone to tossing and turning. The 30-degree version is featured in our guide to the best camping sleeping bags, while the 15-degree Disco is one of our favorites for backpacking.

For sleeping pads, NEMO’s Tensor All-Season Ultralight Insulated and Flyer Cloud Insulated Hybrid don’t skimp on quality or comfort. The Tensor All-Season earned the top spot in our backpacking sleeping pads guide for its low weight, small packed size, and competitive price for the level of performance. The Flyer Cloud Insulated Hybrid is our favorite mid-range camping mattress because it’s supportive, quiet, and a noticeable upgrade over entry-level designs.


All Kelty Sleeping Bags – 25% Off

Kelty’s Cosmic 20 sleeping bag is a nice reflection of the brand’s focus on value. At a very palatable $190 for the regular size (and just $143 during the Labor Day Sale), the Cosmic performs significantly better than its price would suggest. Although it uses lower-fill-power down than more premium bags, it does a solid job retaining heat and is very comfortable with a bit more room than traditional mummy bags. The Cosmic is a strong enough performer that it earned a place in both of our best sleeping bag guides: backpacking sleeping bags and camping sleeping bags.

If you frequently camp with a partner, the two-person Tru.Comfort Doublewide Sleeping Bag is a worthwhile splurge. It’s wider than a Queen mattress and features a versatile zipper system for airing things out. It’s priced much lower than buying two separate sleeping bags, too. Head over to our camping sleeping bags guide for more info.


All REI Sleeping Bags & Trail Quilt – 25% Off

REI’s in-house sleeping bag line is truly impressive, offering excellent performance at hard-to-beat prices. For car campers, our top sleeping bag of 2026 is the Siesta Hooded 20. It checks all the boxes we look for in a quality bag: excellent warmth, a roomy interior, smart features, and great durability – all at a low price. If you prefer the snugger feel of a mummy bag, the REI Trailmade 25 is a remarkable value and a nice choice for shoulder-season backpacking or camping. You can read more about both bags in our guide to the best sleeping bags for camping.

For dedicated backpackers and minimalists, REI’s Magma collection proves you don’t need to spend a fortune for high-end performance. The Magma 15 Sleeping Bag and Magma 30 Trail Quilt are longtime favorites among the CleverHiker staff – and they rank very high on our lists of the best backpacking sleeping bags and best backpacking quilts, respectively. They are competitively lightweight, packed with lofty down, and cost significantly less than comparably built designs.


HEST Bedding, Pillows, & Foamy Sleeping Pad – 20% Off

For campers willing to spend top dollar for a great night’s sleep outdoors, look no further than comfort leader HEST. From sleeping pads to pillows, HEST makes some of the plushest and highest-quality designs on the market. Their Foamy Sleeping Pad tops our list of the best camping mattresses for its unmatched warmth and comfort. It’s made entirely of memory foam, quick to deploy, and insulated enough for year-round use. The HEST Camp Pillow is similarly luxurious for campers who value comfort above all else. It was a no-brainer awarding the Camp Pillow an Editor’s Pick badge in our best camping pillows lineup.


Backpacks

If you’re someone who likes to pack the kitchen sink on backpacking trips, the Gregory Baltoro and Deva packs are up to the task. Offered in a healthy range of capacities, we like the men’s Baltoro 75 and women’s Deva 70 best. The generous main compartment can swallow multiple days’ worth of gear and clothing, and there’s ample padding for maintaining comfort with a full load. There are lots of pockets and compartments for divvying up smaller essentials, making it easy to stay organized even on gear-intensive trips. Head over to our list of the best backpacking packs for more info on our favorite heavy haulers.


Select Osprey Daypacks & Hydration Packs – 25% Off

Osprey is one of the best pack manufacturers in the business, and some of their top daypacks and hydration packs are 25% off during the Labor Day Sale. The men’s Stratos 24 and women’s Sirrus 24 are standouts when it comes to support, comfort, and ventilation. They are overbuilt for minimalist day hikes but a great match for winter adventures and other outings that warrant carrying extra water, snacks, and layers. This earned them our vote as the best 4-season design on our list of the top daypacks.

If you don’t already own a hydration bladder, the men’s Osprey Manta 34 and women’s Mira 34 come with a quality 2.5-liter reservoir. Like the Stratos/Sirrus packs, the Manta and Mira feature a suspended mesh back panel for ventilation and cushy padding for all-day comfort. They are our favorite high-volume designs in our lineup of the best hydration packs.


All CamelBak Hydration Packs, Vests, & Belts – 25% Off

CamelBak is practically synonymous with outdoor hydration. Their M.U.L.E. 12 (men’s / women’s) and Cloud Walker 18 both earned top marks in our best hydration packs guide, slotting in as our favorite small and mid-size options, respectively. The M.U.L.E. is slim and compact with a user-friendly hydration system and body-hugging fit – great for fast-paced adventures with a streamlined kit in tow. The Cloud Walker offers more storage and features at a lower price point, making it an excellent value for minimalist day hikes.


All REI Ruckpack Travel Packs – 25% Off

For yet another strong value from REI, the Ruckpack 40 (men’s / women’s) is one of our favorite travel packs on the market. It scored a well-earned Budget Buy badge in our lineup of the best travel backpacks due to its excellent performance for the price. We took the pack on a trip around the western U.S. and were able to stash everything we needed for the entire week. It fits easily into overhead bins and under-seat storage, and the organization layout is both intuitive and practical. The pack can also pull double duty on the trail thanks to its supportive hipbelt and breathable back panel.


Hauling your little adventurer through the city, mountains, and airport can be a pain, which is why we love child carriers like the Kelty Journey PerfectFIT. There are three options in the collection, and we especially like the top-end PerfectFIT Elite and mid-range PerfectFIT Signature. Both designs boast adjustable torso lengths, nicely padded straps, and healthy feature sets for keeping both the chauffeur and the passenger happy. The Elite justifies its higher price tag with more storage compartments, additional mesh side pockets, a dedicated sleeve for a 3-liter water bladder, and extra grab handles. Both designs made our list of the best baby backpack carriers.

Fall is wet in many parts of the U.S., making now a great time to score a quality rain kit at a stellar value. Despite their wallet-friendly price tags, the REI Rainier Jacket (men’s / women’s) and matching Rainier Rain Pants (men’s / women’s) are the real deal: lightweight, adequately protective, and nicely appointed in the features department. The Rainier kit has kept several of our editors and gear analysts dry and comfortable on hikes, backpacking trips, and camping adventures across the country, earning them respectable finishes on our best rain jackets and best rain pants lists. For a performance boost, we also like REI’s XeroCloud collection (25% off), which trades the Rainier’s 2.5-layer construction for a more dependable and breathable 3-layer design.


All Darn Tough Socks – 25% Off

Darn Tough has been pumping out quality hiking socks for over two decades. From their extensive lineup, the Light Hiker Micro Crew (men’s / women’s) and Hiker Boot Full Cushion (men’s / women’s) stand out for their class-leading comfort and odor resistance. Both socks are made with a high-quality blend of merino wool, nylon, and spandex, offering a nice balance of moisture-wicking and durability. For those who prefer synthetic socks, Darn Tough’s COOLMAX Hiker Micro Crew Cushion (men’s / women’s) is a warm-weather standout with excellent breathability for high-mileage days in the heart of summer. All three styles make an appearance in our round-up of the best hiking socks.


All REI Sahara Clothing – 25% Off

With all REI Sahara clothing on sale, now is the perfect time to overhaul your hiking wardrobe. The Sahara line has been a longtime staple in our guides to the best men’s hiking pants, best women’s hiking pants, best women’s hiking shorts, and best sun shirts. All of the styles are affordably priced and come in a nice range of sizes and colorways to suit different hikers’ needs. The Sahara Convertible Pants (men’s / women’s) are a pocket-packed, versatile option for utilitarian hikers, while the Sahara Shade Hoodie (men’s / women’s) is a standout value for its comfortable feel and flattering fit.


All prAna Hiking Bottoms – 25% Off

prAna makes a lot of great hiking bottoms with a reputation for comfort and durability. For pants, we love the standard Stretch Zion for men and Stretch Zion Halle for women. Both styles are highly durable – great for scrambly hikes, bushwhacking, or even crossing over for rock climbing. The flattering fit and classy colorway selection make them viable for wearing casually, too. For summer hiking, the men’s Stretch Zion 8″ Shorts and women’s Stretch Zion Cargo Shorts offer similar performance, styling, and versatility. All of the styles mentioned rank competitively in our guides to the best hiking pants (men’s / women’s) and best hiking shorts (men’s / women’s).


REI Activator Pants – 25% Off

Cooler temperatures are on the horizon, making it a great time to pick up a pair of softshell pants. Our favorite design in this category is the REI Activator (men’s / women’s), which pairs a nylon/polyester/spandex blend with a brushed interior for excellent comfort and stretch. The Activator is thicker than most traditional hiking pants, offering improved warmth, durability, and weather protection. In our testing, the pants proved capable of withstanding drizzle, sleet, and even short stints of post-holing through deep snow. Check out our guide to the best hiking pants for men for more details on the alpine-ready design.


All Mountain Hardwear Crater Lake Tops – 25% Off

A quality sun shirt is a must-have in any outdoor adventurer’s wardrobe. Among the myriad options available, Mountain Hardwear’s Crater Lake Hoody (men’s / women’s) stands out as one of the most comfortable on the market – and the softest in our sun shirts lineup. The polyester and elastane blend is silky-smooth and feels luxurious against bare skin, making it easy to wear all day. We also love the UPF 50+ rating, which is the highest available and pairs nicely with the full-coverage hood and thumb loops. The women’s version also features a drawcord at the waist for a nice dose of flair.


Other Gear

REI does a lot of things really well, including camp furniture. Their Camp Roll Table is a quality addition to any campsite with a square tabletop that stands 27 inches high – perfect for meal prep, dining for two, or playing cards after a long day out. The aluminum construction is lightweight but durable, and there are even hooks to hang dish towels, a trash bag, or an extra layer. Tack on a very approachable price tag, and it’s clear why the table earned a Budget Buy badge in our camping tables guide.

Perhaps even more important than a table is a good camp chair. REI makes several of them, with our favorite being the Campwell Chair. It’s affordable, lightweight, and familiar with a collapsible frame and handy carry bag for transport. The seat is positioned at a comfortable height and made of breathable mesh, which is great for comfort on hot days and allows the chair to dry quickly when it gets wet. The Campwell earned a top spot in our guide to the best camping chairs, with the Westward Padded Folding Chair and Flexlite Camp Dreamer farther down the list.


All MSR Stoves, Cook Gear, & Accessories – 25% Off

MSR dominates our best backpacking stoves list with some of the highest-performing and most trusted designs on the market. The legendary PocketRocket 2 leads the pack with fast boiling times and impressive precision in a compact and ultralight package. A newer favorite of ours is the MSR Switch, which offers the efficiency and wind resistance of an integrated setup without limiting you to a single pot. It’s a highly versatile design that’s well suited for hikers who like to do more than just boil water.

To complete your outdoor kitchen setup, MSR’s cookware is also 25% off and makes up a good chunk of our best backpacking cookware guide. The Trail Mini Solo tops our list thanks to its heat-distributing aluminum build, smart feature set, and convenient nesting design. The Ceramic 2-Pot Set has a combined capacity of 4 liters and offers excellent cooking performance for discerning backcountry chefs. And for the value-seekers among us, the 1.1-liter Alpine Stowaway Pot is a solid deal at the Labor Day Sale at barely over $20 on discount.


All Sea to Summit Stuff Sacks & Dry Bags – 25% Off

Sea to Summit’s storage solutions are second to none, from space-efficient compression sacks to weather-ready dry bags. The Ultra-Sil collection tops the charts, including the waterproof Ultra-Sil Dry Bag and extremely packable Ultra-Sil Compression Sack. Both designs earned Editor’s Pick badges in our best stuff sacks guide due to their standout performance. We’ve trusted the Ultra-Sil Dry Bag to keep sensitive gear protected on rainy backpacking trips and snowy backcountry ski tours for years. The Ultra-Sil Compression Sack is handy for stashing a sleeping bag or puffy down jackets, significantly reducing our pack’s volume.


All LifeStraw Peak Squeeze Water Filter Systems – 25% Off

Backpackers looking for a change of pace from the standard squeeze-style filter will find a lot to like about the LifeStraw Peak Squeeze. The Peak Squeeze features a flexible design that adapts well to different hiking styles and bottle sizes, including standard 28-millimeter bottles (like Smartwater bottles) and larger 42-millimeter soft flasks. The included soft bottle is thicker and more durable than many ultralight squeeze flasks and still packs down small when empty. Overall, it’s a well-rounded and versatile option for most backpackers, making it a standout on our best backpacking water filters list.


All BioLite Lighting – 25% Off

BioLite is one of our go-to brands for camp lighting and headlamps. Their AlpenGlow 500 Lantern is a truly standout design with a ton of features for car camping. There are seemingly endless color options and brightness levels to choose from – the Candle Flicker and Fireworks settings are especially fun and unique. The unit itself is rechargeable via USB and features a secondary USB-A port for charging a phone or other device. You can read more about the feature-rich design in our guide to the best camping lanterns.

On the headlamp side, BioLite’s Range 500 stood out very quickly in our testing. It’s incredibly fast to charge – just 8 minutes on the charger gets you an hour of usable light – and features a very comfortable headband that sits flush against the forehead and stays in place while you’re moving. And the IP67 rating means you can dunk it, not just get it wet. The Range impressed us enough to soar to the top of our list of the best headlamps.

Whether you’re headed out on a weekend trip or taking off on an international adventure, a good duffel bag can make the packing and hauling process a whole lot easier. We’re big fans of REI’s Roadtripper collection, including the mid-range Roadtripper 60. For a very approachable $70 – and just $53 during the Labor Day Sale – the Roadtripper offers an enticing combination of space, durability, and packability in a competitively lightweight package. It’s our favorite budget design on our list of the best duffel bags, undercutting most of the lineup by $100 or more.


All Coleman Stoves & Accessories – 25% Off

Coleman has been producing quality, budget-friendly camping gear for over a century – and there’s a good chance you’ll see their gear at any campground. All of their stoves are 25% off during the Labor Day Sale, including the versatile Cascade 3-in-1. The stove earned a spot high on our list of the best camping stoves thanks to its smart features, intuitive design, and high-quality attachments. The two burners pump out a very respectable 12,000 BTUs each, and the stove comes with cast-iron griddle and grill-top attachments for whipping up all sorts of tasty meals.


All AeroPress Coffee Presses & Accessories – 30% Off

Instant coffee has its place, but those who take their morning cup of joe seriously should consider an AeroPress. Their Go Travel Coffee Press was quick to impress us in testing. The compact brewer can make espresso, French press-style coffee, and even cold brew. The kit includes a coffee scoop, stir wand, filters, filter keeper, mug, and lid – all of which nest together for easy storage and transport. We know people who use the Go as their primary coffee maker at home, and we don’t blame them – it’s a great design that makes stellar coffee, earning first place in our camp coffee makers guide.


No matter how you choose to get outside, a properly stocked first aid kit should be at the top of your packing list. Adventure Medical Kits makes it easy with a handful of pre-built kits that cover all the basics for hikers, backpackers, and dogs. The Ultralight/Watertight .7 is a good place to start: It contains the essentials for three people on trips up to three days, including bandages, moleskin, medical tape, gauze wraps, duct tape, nitrile gloves, and tweezers. Stepping up to the Mountain Series Hiker kit will get you a wider assortment for extended day hikes, while the Mountain Series Backpacker is even more robust for multi-day adventures that take you far from the trailhead. All three options are featured in our guide to the best first aid kits.
