If you love the great outdoors or are gift-shopping for the outdoorsmen in your life, REI is a one-stop shop for all the best brands. REI notoriously forgoes a Black Friday event, presenting the #OptOutside campaign instead.

Don’t wait to shop these deals: REI’s Winter Sale ends on Monday, November 25, which means you only have 48 hours left to save. Related: ‘Buttery Soft’ Fleece-Lined Leggings Are on Sale from $15 at Amazon Before Winter

Everyone else is lying to you, pulling the wool over your eyes. REI doesn't do a Black Friday sale. At least not in name. There's a Winter Sale this week, lasting until November 25, and there'll be some sort of small sale leading up to Thanksgiving.
