Why join the Co-op?

With two 20% discounts in your shopping cart, the one-time membership fee could pay for itself right away.

What are these deals, you ask? Well, dear readers. Well. Since you can apply your two 20% off discounts to almost any item REI sells, the options are nearly limitless — but we’ve highlighted a few thru-hiker favorites in case you’re in need of inspiration. There are also some exclusive members-only discounts and early access deals, the most thru-hikerly of which we’ve pointed out in the list below.
