Just in time for hiking and camping trips, REI is having its yearly Anniversary Sale, with everything you’ll need to become an avid outdoorist.

OUR TOP PICK: Hydro Flask products — Drinkware starting at $14.89
Whether you need a reusable bottle, a wine tumbler, or a new travel coffee thermos, REI’s anniversary sale gives you 25% off a whole slew of Hydro Flask products. Get ready to hit the trail with a fresh new water bottle, or pack a cute picnic lunch in one of their insulated lunch totes, and rest assured that everything will stay ice cold for hours — even in the heat of the summer.
If you’re looking to do any serious adventure sports this summer, a sturdy smartwatch with GPS tracking is a must. This Garmin model has a three-axis compass, barometric altimeter as well as GPS, GLONASS and Galileo navigation — so you’ll never get lost. It features solar charging, up to 54 days of battery life, and has smart notification capabilities. It also gives you all the in-depth fitness tracking you need for tough sports, and is shock and water-resistant. (We also spotted the same deal at Amazon if that’s more your jam).
If your ideal vacation includes a tent, the woods, and a campfire, this ENO hammock will fit right into your plans. This lightweight hammock packs down to be extremely portable, so whether you’re hitting the beach, going backcountry camping, or are just headed to your local park, it’s easy to bring along. It’s also big enough for two people and can hold up to 400 pounds comfortably.
