Nature’s colors come alive before winter’s desolation, and while your tan may start to fade, running or hiking in the crisp air definitely beats logging miles—or climbing a mountain—in the brutal summer heat. Giving you even more motivation to get outside this autumn is REI’s Labor Day sale. After all, there’s nothing like a few fresh fits to inspire some time outside, or amp up your workouts, or help you set a new PR—if that’s your thing.SHOP REI’S LABOR DAY DEALSRight now, the retailer is offering up to 50 percent off best-selling pieces from brands like Patagonia, Arc'teryx, Columbia, and On, with select deals ending September 7. REI members can also use code LABORDAY26 to save an extra 20 percent on one item through the end of today.While Labor Day sales are often associated with clearing out summer inventory, REI is doing a whole lot more than that. There are plenty of fall staples worth stocking up on, including cozy flannels, retro-inspired fleeces, top-rated base layers, and lightweight shells that expertly balance breathability and warmth. We even found some Esquire staples in the mix, including Vuori’s editor-loved Sunday joggers—a supremely cozy yet polished pair that works just as well around the campsite as it does while running errands. In the footwear department, tons of hiking shoes and sneakers are on sale, too, including Danner’s classic Mountain 600s, Hoka’s iconic Clifton 10, and the Adidas Ultraboost 5X, which we’ve named one of the best Adidas running shoes of all time.Kuhl Renegade Recon Klassik PantsNow 26% OffCredit: REIDanner Mountain LightNow 25% OffCredit: REIDarn Tough Light Hiker SocksNow 25% OffCredit: REISince there are thousands of deals to sift through, we did the hard work and laid out exactly what we think should be at the top of your list.
