Our Favorite REI Fourth of July Sale Deals

01_ColemanSkyDomeTentColeman Skydome Tent with Full-Fly Vestibule: Starting at $142 (25% off)

Built to include everything you need and nothing you don’t, the Coleman Skydome tent series is a solid pick for anyone in the market for an affordable car camping tent. The 6-person version (without a vestibule) was named our favorite budget tent for 2025. The full-fly version, available in 4 and 6-person models, features a full-length rainfly (the standard version only has a half-length fly) with a spacious vestibule for extra gear storage.

Coleman’s WeatherTec system, with welded corners, inverted and taped seams on the rainfly, and a frame tested to withstand winds up to 35 miles per hour, provides reliable three-season weather protection. Pre-attached poles allow campers to erect the shelter in under five minutes, and side doors provide easy access to move airbeds, sleeping bags, and other gear in and out of the tent. Additionally, nearly-vertical walls offer increased headroom—up to 20% more than traditional Coleman tent designs. Some other features we appreciate are that you can run an extension cord through the built-in e-port to bring electrical power inside the tent, and organization is easy with the mesh storage pockets and gear loft. During the sale, you can snag other Coleman tents and shelters at 25% off, too.

Coleman Brazos 30F Sleeping Bag: $35 (25% off)

Coleman Brazos sleeping bagFor an affordable car camping sleeping bag, you can't beat the Coleman Brazos 30°F sleeping bag. Our team has chosen the 20-degree version of this bag as our favorite budget sleeping bag option for many years running, thanks to its warmth and comfort at an amazing price—even when it's not on sale!

This three-season option features ColeTherm synthetic insulation with FiberLock construction to prevent cold spots and a ThermoLock draft tube along the no-snag zipper to retain heat for night temperatures as low as 30 degrees. The roomy 75 by 33-inch rectangular design accommodates campers up to 5′11″. Even better? Unzip the bag to use it as a blanket or zip two bags together for twice the room and cozy co-sleeping. Even if you buy two of the Brazos, you'll still be spending far less than you would for a single sleeping bag from other brands.

Men's Chaco Z/Cloud Sandals & Women's Chaco Z/Cloud Sandals: $78 (25% off)

03_ChacoZCloud_sandalsTreat your feet to pillow-top comfort with the Chaco Z/Cloud sandals, one of the most iconic hiking sandals on the market. Designed for travel, trail, water, and everyday wear—and our team's top hiking sandal pick year after year—these sandals feature adjustable polyester jacquard straps and high-tensile heel risers for a secure, customizable fit. An ultra-soft top sole cushions your step with 5 millimeters of plush polyurethane, while podiatrist-certified LUVSEAT midsoles offer lasting arch support. The ChacoGrip rubber outsoles with 3-3.5-millimeter lugs also deliver reliable traction on wet or dry surfaces. We prefer this version of the Z/Cloud without a toe loop, but for those that prefer the extra security, the Z/Cloud 2 is also on sale.

Petzl GriGri Belay Device: $75 (25% off)

04_PetzlGRIGRI

Compact, lightweight, and built for confident catches, the Petzl GriGri is a trusted assisted-braking belay device for experienced climbers in the gym or at the crag. This belay device offers smooth control while lowering, thanks to its ergonomic handle and progressive camming mechanism that activates during falls to help stop the rope. Durable aluminum and stainless steel construction, plus engraved diagrams for proper rope threading, help ensure safety and ease of use for both lead and top-rope belaying. The GriGri is compatible with ropes from 8.5 to 11 millimeters but is specifically optimized for dynamic single ropes from 8.9 to 10.5 millimeters. While much pricier than an ATC, there's a reason we rank the GriGri as our favorite belay device—the added security of assisted braking can make all the difference when you need it most.

Metolius Session II Crash Pad: $200 (25% off)

Metolius Session II crash pad

With several updates since the release of the original design, the Metolius Session II crash pad makes bouldering safety smoother than ever. Two new drag handles allow for easier positioning, while a redesigned flap closure system keeps carrying straps out of the way when you’re working on a problem. Like the original, the crash pad’s tough exterior fabric holds up to regular use outdoors, and added shoulder straps help make the transport from the car to the crag and back easy. We especially like the angled fold with Velcro reinforcement—unique to Metolius pads—that has all the benefits of a hinge design but diminishes the possibility of hitting the “gutter” during a fall, even on uneven terrain. We also love that there's a handy carpet patch to clean your climbing shoes off before each attempt.

Bote Wulf Aero 10'4" Inflatable SUP: $399 (28% off)

Bote Wulf Aero SUPStable and beginner-friendly, the Bote Wulf Aero 10'4" inflatable paddle board is designed for easy cruising on calm waters. The board is constructed from lightweight yet durable AeroULTRA PVC and features a full-length foam pad covering the 34-inch wide deck. Inflation is quick, thanks to the included pump, as is attaching the removable center fin. From there, you can lash your gear to the bungee storage and you’re ready to hit the water. When not in use, the board and included paddle pack into a backpack-style carrying bag for easy transport. 

The Wulf Aero also features Magnepod tech, which allows you to safely secure compatible drinkware and accessories. While this isn't included in your purchase, you do get a repair kit, hand pump, and leash, as well as the aforementioned paddle, fin, and travel bag. During the sale, you can also save 15% on other select Bote SUPs and 40% on Bote Breeze Aero Bloom inflatable SUPs.

The abrasion-resistant seat is crafted from ripstop polyester with a non-fluorinated DWR coating, and a removable headrest and mesh pockets add comfort and convenience. At just 3 pounds, 7 ounces, the Camp Dreamer is an easy choice to bring along for all kinds of summer outings and was an easy choice to include on our competitive list of the best camping chairs of 2025 (along with two other REI camp chairs that we love). During the sale, you can save 30% on all REI Co-op Flexlite chairs, replacement seats, and stools, so it's a great time to stock up on creature comforts for your campsite.

Yeti Tundra Coolers: Starting at $219 (20% off for REI Co-op Members)

YETI Tundra 65 cooler_0Be prepared for camping adventures, family picnics, and days on the water with Yeti's Tundra coolers. Available in 35, 45, and 65-liter models, as well as wheeled models, these coolers are built to keep food and beverage stashes cold on the toughest adventures thanks to ultra-durable rotomolded polyethylene construction. Thick PermaFrost insulation offers superior ice retention and can even accommodate dry ice to ensure the cooler’s contents remain cold for days.

All models feature a freezer-grade gasket and a leak-resistant drain plug to help regulate temperature and remove excess water. Tie-down slots, rope handles, recessed grips, and non-slip feet also provide easy solutions to carry and secure your cooler. If you're not sure about what size to get, the Tundra 35L offers enough space for day trips or small outings. For added space to accommodate weekend getaways, opt for the Tundra 45L. When you need to maximize your carrying capacity, the Tundra 65L, which earns a top spot in our roundup of the best coolers of 2025, provides enough room for extended trips or larger groups.

Oru Kayak Beach LT 12'1": $959 (20% off)

08_OruKayakBeachApartment dwellers and anyone with limited storage space rejoice. Inspired by origami—the Japanese art of paper folding—the Oru Kayak Beach LT folds out of a compact 33 x 29 x 12-inch package into a 12-foot long boat in approximately three minutes. The transformation from compact carrying case into a water-worthy vessel is nothing short of amazing. Every time we've set one of these up next to the water, people come over to admire and ask questions—it's a true conversation starter!

Durable, rigorously-tested two-layer polypropylene material makes the kayak puncture- and abrasion-resistant for reliable outdoor use. The non-porous material also helps the vessel dry out much faster, reducing the risk of mold that you get with inflatable kayaks. The design features an open cockpit with a cushioned, adjustable footrest and backrest. Bulkheads and tension straps create structure and help to add rigidity. The wide, 29-inch beam provides stability on the water and creates a comfortable ride for paddlers of all levels. And at 25 pounds, the kayak is easy to lift and quick on the water. For the duration of the sale, you can save 20% on all Oru kayaks and accessories.

Kokopelli Nirvana Self-Bailing Packraft: $1,159 (20% off)

Kokopelli Nirvana PackraftCharge down Class I-III rapids with confidence in the Kokopelli Nirvana Self-Bailing packraft with TiZip storage. Made from lightweight yet durable thermoplastic polyurethane, this inflatable vessel balances stability with a compact size for easy transport. Customizable features like leg straps and adjustable, removable back support ensure comfort on the water, and a built-in chamber with a waterproof TiZip zipper lets you stash gear out of the way so you have more room to maneuver while on the water. Drainage holes and the full-length inflatable floor work in tandem to automatically let out excess water. At just 9.2 pounds, this portable boat packs down to the size of a sleeping bag, making it perfect for your next epic backcountry trip. If you're intrigued but the Nirvana doesn't feel like the right fit, you can also save 20% off all Kokopelli inflatable kayaks, packrafts, and accessories while the sale is underway.
