Save Big on Multi-Tools, Smartwatches, and More at REI's June Sale

Summer is officially here, folks, and it's time to embrace it. Step away from your little window AC units, and head out into the great outdoors. REI is making it even easier for you to do so, with a new drop of deals on all the best clothing, shoes, and gear. Seriously, you can save up to 50% on top brands, like Patagonia, The North Face, and more.

When we say more, we mean it. There truly is something on sale for every type of outdoors-goer. If you're a runner, check out the retailer's selection of Hoka sneakers (including the beloved Clifton) or Saucony shoes. If you're a hardcore hiker—or an occasional trail walker—discounts on Merrell hiking shoes, Arc'teryx backpacks, and Vuori shorts. And if neither of the above categories pertain to you, well at the very least you could probably use a moisture-wicking T-shirt or some new flip-flops to get you through the heat waves.

Before we get into the rest of it, we want to offer up our three favorite deals. All of them are on the everyday carry side of things. First, we've got a Leatherman Wave+, a more classic do-it-all model than the T4 we wrote about not that long ago. It's the classic wave, but upgraded with a pair of replaceable wire cutters. It'll do everything at the campsite, and it'll help you redo that wiring work on the patio. Second deal we like is on a wonderful slip-joint Benchmade knife. It has a useful clip-point blade in a durable CPM-S90V, and the handle comes in a really lovely deep, deep red micarta. Lastly, there's a Garmin Insinct 2 Solar. For an outdoor smartwatch, it does everything you need, and the solar model has a 28 day battery life and is capable of infinite recharging with the right amount of sunshine.

Besides the knives, multi-tools, and smartwatches, there's plenty else to get into. Regardless of who you are and what you plan to do outside, REI has you covered. And because we always go the extra mile for you, we've rounded up the best of REI's June sale to help you get started. You're welcome.
