Here are 40 of our favorite deals from REI's massive Anniversary Sale

"REI's annual Anniversary Sale - the retailer's biggest of the year - has arrived, bringing with it discounts on all kinds of outdoor essentials. If you've got a camping trip coming up, now is a good time to stock up on the basics, whether it be a tent, sleeping pad, or stove. If your summer plans involve hiking or heading into the backcountry, there are also savings to be had on everything from Garmin watches to water filters, some of which are also on discount at retailers like Amazon."

"The sale runs through May 25th, and to save you time scrolling, we've rounded up the best deals below. Additionally, as in previous years, REI members get 20 percent off one full-price item or one REI Outlet item with code ANNIV26, giving those who pay for a lifetime membership ($30) even more ways to save in the run-up to Memorial Day."

"REI, Amazon, and Best Buy are also selling the Garmin Lily 2 Active for $249.99 ($50 off), which is its lowest price to date. The stylish smartwatch is a great budget-friendly Garmin, especially for people with smaller wrists. Like the standard Lily 2, it offers basic fitness tracking, notifications, and up to five days of battery life; however, the so-called "Active" model adds a physical button, built-in GPS, and support for more sports tracking."
