Labor Day is a bit bittersweet. It marks the unofficial end of summer, signaling the start of shorter, colder days. But on the flip side, Labor Day also typically brings plenty of deals on everything you could need for the upcoming season and beyond.
And REI's massive Labor Day Sale is giving us a pretty good reason to get excited about the summer's end. The big sales event is filled with discounts on so many of our favorite brands, including Hoka, Patagonia, Hydro Flask and more — all up to 51% off.
Many of these deals will come to a close at the end of the day, and some are already selling out — so you won't want to waste any time adding them to your cart!

I swear by these socks from Darn Tough for both walks and runs. They have just the right amount of cushioning, so they feel soft and comfortable on your feet without being bulky.

Patagonia Baggies Shorts
Associate editor Sierra Hoeger says that she practically lives in these shorts in the summer. She loves that they come in a variety of colors and patterns — plus, they're adventure-friendly. "They truly are moisture-wicking. I first wore them when kayaking back home and they got a little wet, only to dry off within minutes thanks to the nylon fabric they're made out of."
