You don’t have to wait until Labor Day to score great deals from REI. The online retailer just launched its Labor Day sale, so not only can you get big savings on great gear, but you can even get it in time for that holiday trip coming up.
The amount of gear that’s on massive discount right now is dizzying, with sales from Patagonia, Arc’teryx, REI Co-op, The North Face, and Smartwool, just to name a few.
I narrowed down the field to some of the best cycling deals you have to see. But this is just the tip of the iceberg. You’ll also find great discounts on outdoor clothing for kids, running and snow sports gear, as well as camping and hiking equipment.
Most of us use water bottles in one of two ways: we either invest in a few premium bottles and take care of them, or we treat them like commodities—hammering them through a season and tossing them when they’re worn out. If you’re in the latter group, or if you simply like having extras around, this is about the best price you’ll find on quality bottles. Pick up a few now, even if you don’t need them yet, and stash them for when you do.
If you like bigger bottles, the larger, 26-ounce bottles are on sale as well.
You don’t have to be a mountain biker to enjoy flat pedals. They’re a great alternative to clipless pedals if you prefer riding in comfortable, walkable shoes—or if you simply don’t like the feeling of being locked into your pedals.
For maximum style on and off the bike, treat yourself to a pair of Velosambas—Adidas’ legendary Samba silhouette, now compatible with two-bolt cycling cleats.
This is one of my favorite helmets for casual rides and commutes. It may not have the ventilation of a high-performance model, but it more than makes up for it with style.
The Journeyer is an excellent entry point for new riders—a versatile, value-packed bike built for both road and gravel adventures. And in true Salsa fashion, it comes loaded with eyelets for racks, fenders, bags, and extra bottles.
Labor Day may be around the corner, but that doesn’t mean warm rides are over. This lightweight jersey is perfect for hot days, with a fit that’s comfortable—neither too loose nor as tight as a race cut.
The men’s version is on sale too.
When a long-sleeve jersey comes along at a price this low, it’s hard to pass up. And with daylight hours fading and more post-work rides happening at dusk, it’s always smart to have some high-viz gear in your rotation.
A classic messenger bag never goes out of style. This sleek option fits up to a 16-inch laptop, with plenty of room left over for the cycling kit you’ll need on your lunch ride.
A good mid-weight vest is essential for shoulder-season rides. This one is a bit heavier than a summer vest, making it ideal for days that are too cool for just a jersey but not cold enough for long sleeves. Pair it with arm warmers for the best combination of warmth and flexibility to adjust layers mid-ride.
The women’s version is on sale as well.
As much as many of us do our best to avoid it, rain happens. And when it does, it pays to have a good jacket. In the world of rain jackets, you get the quality you pay for. This is a great price on a solid rain jacket. And since they last a very long time, it’s a sound investment.
The Rapha Core Rain Jacket III – Women’s is also on sale.
Cooler temps are just around the corner, and this mid-weight long sleeve jersey is perfect for those chilly fall rides—offering just enough warmth while still being easy to pack in a jersey pocket once the day heats up.
Good running lights aren’t just for riding in low-light conditions. This front-and-rear set from NiteRider is a great bargain, and the 900-lumen headlight is powerful enough to guide you home if you get caught after dark.
