REI's Insane Fourth of July Sale Has Finally Arrived

Believe it or not, Fourth of July is just around the corner. And while you might celebrate America's birthday with hot dogs and fireworks, July 4th is also a great time to take advantage of some seriously epic sales.

That's where REI comes in. The retailer is your one-stop-shop for all your outdoor essentials and, in honor of America's birthday, REI is offering up to 40% off hundreds of items. From Hydro Flask's popular water bottles, to hiking boots, to clothes from brands like Patagonia, the North Face, and REI's Co-op label. You're bound to find something you love-and on sale, no less!

We know what you're thinking: As much as you love a good deal, you'd rather spend your holiday outdoors instead of scouring a sale. Fortunately, REI's sale has officially started and will continue through July 4th, so you can take full advantage of the sale whenever you'd like. But, be warned: most of these items have limited inventory, so we recommend shopping sooner rather than later.

Now the only question that remains is what you should buy. Check out our 7 favorite finds for some inspiration, or shop even more products at REI.com.
