There’s no doubt that outdoor gear and apparel is expensive. So the best time to invest in any outdoor goodies is when there’s a sale, which usually happens on a long weekend. The Memorial Day weekend (USA) and Victoria Day weekend (CAN) is the best time of year for sales on outdoor gear because it comes at the perfect time with summer around the corner.

I have sifted through the pages and pages of sales to bring you a list of the best deals out there right now—on gear I believe in and have tested myself. If you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen me use this gear.

Note: there are affiliate links in this post and I may earn a small commission if you choose to purchase an item (at no additional cost to you). These funds go right back into creating free content just like this and supporting my small business.

Both REI, Backcountry, Altitude Sports and MEC have incredible sales right now which means it’s time to invest in those items that you’ve been eyeing or you need.

PS. REI members can save 20% off on one full-priced item and an extra 20% off on one REI Outlet item from now until May 27, 2024. Use coupon ANNIV24 at checkout to snag these deals!
