"If you need to restock your backpacking, hiking, biking, camping, outdoor-loving gear quiver, now is a great time to do it. Below are the best deals on all our favorite tents, backpacks, sleeping bags, pads, cookware, outdoor apparel, and more. While REI closes down for Black Friday, there are still some things on sale, plus there are sales at Backcountry and Public Lands, along with some great deals at our favorite cottage industry brands like Six Moon Designs, Zenbivy, Gossamer Gear, and more."
"It's not without its quirks ( read the pitching tips), but if you want something more than a tarp, that still weighs just 26 ounces (740 grams), this one is hard to beat. It's well ventilated for a single-walled tent, with the ability to raise up the front door when weather is nice. I also like that it only needs one trekking pole (or one pole if you don't hike with trekking poles)."
Now is a good time to restock backpacking, hiking, biking, camping, and outdoor gear because many retailers and brands offer seasonal deals. REI is closed for Black Friday but sales remain at Backcountry, Public Lands, and cottage brands such as Six Moon Designs, Zenbivy, and Gossamer Gear. Updates on November 29, 2025 added deals on puffer jackets, rain jackets, merino wool, and cold-weather essentials. There are numerous tent deals with options for ultralight solo shelters and lightweight freestanding models. Six Moon Design's Lunar Solo is a ventilated single-wall solo tent weighing 26 ounces and pitches with one pole. The Copper Spur UL 2 is a roomy, well-designed lightweight freestanding backpacking tent with an awning option.
