  • Weight: 21 oz
  • R-value: 4.9

If you need a sleeping pad, don’t sleep on this amazing deal (heh). This unique backpacking sleeping pad has a distinctive baffle system designed to improve comfort and durability. At 21 ounces and a generous R-value of 4.9 (adequate warmth for chilly shoulder season conditions), the Helix is right up there with some of the best backpacking sleeping pads for thru-hikers. And even at full price ($159), it’s one of the most affordable inflatable pads around for its warmth and weight. At half off, it’s a staggering deal.

  • Minimum Trail Weight: 5 lb, 10 oz
  • Floor Area: 32.9 ft²

For those whose adventures take them a bit further afield, the Arete 2 strikes a perfect balance between weight savings and steadfast reliability. This is a true four-season tent, designed to withstand high winds, snow, rain—you get the picture. When you’re heading into the exposed, unpredictable alpine zone in winter, you need a tent you can trust to keep you safe and warm in challenging conditions.

The ’22-’23 2inter is winding down, but the Arete 2 will last for many seasons. Why not snag this trusty four-season tent while it’s half off? That’s a savings of over $200. The tent footprint is sold separately and is also half off for members right now.

50% Off REI Zephyr 25 Recycled Polyester Sleeping Bag Men’s | Women’s

Sale $79.49 (Reg. $159)

  • Weight: 2 lb, 11 oz Men’s | 3 lb, 8 oz Women’s
  • Fill: 100% Recycled Polyester Fibers

Synthetic bags are ideal in damp conditions since polyester insulation manages moisture better than natural down. Others choose synthetic because of the affordability or because they avoid using animal-derived products. Whatever your reason for going synthetic, why not opt for a bag with 100 percent recycled insulation like the Zephyr?

The weight and warmth of this bag are competitive with other bags in its class, and you won’t get a better deal on a backpacking sleeping bag than right now during the REI Member Coupon Moment.

30% Off Artilect Boulder 125 Base Layer Crew Men’s | Women’s

Sale $76.99 (Reg. $110)

  • Materials: Nuyarn merino fabric (85% merino wool, 15% nylon)

Merino wool is ultra-soft, stays warm when wet, and resists BO like a champ. Artilect’s merino-blend baselayers are designed with backpacking in mind, with gusseted underarms for better mobility, flatlock seams to reduce chafing, and a droptail hem so the shirt won’t ride up in back (especially if wearing it with your pack on).
