Black Friday has become a shopping season of its own, with retailers once again offering discounts well ahead of the actual shopping holiday. We’ve already rounded up some of the best early Black Friday deals we’ve come across, but if you’re looking to save on outdoor gear or pick up something for an upcoming trip, REI’s annual Holiday Sale , which runs through November 23rd, is worth checking out.
As usual, the outdoor retailer is offering discounts on everything from smartwatches to camping equipment. In some cases, we’re seeing some of the lowest prices we’ve seen on our favorite wearables, including Garmin’s Forerunner 570 , while gadgets like the InReach Mini 3 are also receiving sizable discounts. REI members can also use promo code HOLIDAY2026 to save 20 percent on one full-price item, plus an additional 20 percent on one REI Outlet item.
To save you time, we’ve sifted through the deluge of discounts to find an assortment of deals we recommend here at The Verge . We’ve also noted when competing retailers are offering lower prices on the same items, so you can be sure you’re getting the best deal possible.
Garmin’s Forerunner 570 features a bright OLED display, skin temperature sensors, and a built-in speaker and microphone for taking calls. It also offers multiband GPS, personalized training plans, and up to 11 days of battery life.

EcoFlow’s Rapid Magnetic Power Bank is a 10,000mAh Qi2 battery that can snap to the back of your device if you’re using a newer iPhone or select Android devices, thus supplying it with up to 15W of power. It also includes a built-in USB-C cable that can provide up to 65W of power to larger devices, including a 13-inch MacBook Air.
The Soundcore Liberty 5 feature adaptive noise cancellation and support for Dolby Audio, along with six swappable tips so you can find the right fit. They also sport an IP55 rating for water and dust resistance and can last up to 48 hours with the included charging case.
Anker’s Nebula P1 is a portable 1080p projector with built-in Google TV and two detachable Bluetooth speakers that deliver better sound than many all-in-one portable projectors. It offers 650 ANSI lumens of brightness and can project images up to 180 inches, while the speakers last up to 20 hours on a charge.
The Mini 3 Plus is identical to the standard model in that it allows you to stay connected while off the grid; however, it also features an audible siren and the ability to send photos and voice messages, in addition to standard texts.
The Tracker 3 Plus is a pocketable, lightweight avalanche beacon designed to help locate people buried in snow. It features a real-time display, lights to guide searchers, and tools for finding multiple people. It also comes with a harness and batteries.
The MegaMat Duo is a four-inch, self-inflating mattress that’s become one of our favorites thanks to its extra-wide design. It uses a combination of open-cell polyurethane foam and generous padding for comfort, which helps keep you warm when temperatures dip. It also makes for a stellar air mattress for guests.
The Kelty Low Loveseat is a sturdy, low-profile camp chair built for two. It features a steel frame, a padded seat, and extra-large cup holders for your drinks or gear. It also includes a padded roll-tote storage bag, making it easy to transport when it’s folded down.
The Siesta prioritizes comfort with a roomy rectangular shape that gives you space to stretch out. The synthetic sleeping bag features an insulated hood — one that’s spacious enough to accommodate a real pillow — along with multiple zipper configurations so you can vent your feet or fully unzip it into a quilt-like blanket.
Rumpl’s classic lightweight blanket features synthetic insulation for warmth, a weather-resistant outer shell, and a stuff sack. It also comes in an array of attractive designs and pairs with Rumpl’s Cape Clip, so you can wear it hands-free.
Sea to Summit’s small toiletry bag lets you keep all of your essentials close at hand for weekend getaways. It features a water–resistant fabric and a convenient hanging hook, along with internal mesh pockets so you can quickly find whatever it is you need.
Sea to Summit’s lightweight, inflatable camping pillow features a soft memory foam layer, adjustable firmness, and a curved design that cradles your head. It’s also quick to inflate and includes patches to keep it from sliding while you sleep.
Mpowerd’s solar-powered string lights are perfect for camping or a backyard shindig. The 18-foot string can display six colors and last up to 15 hours on a single charge; the case also doubles as a charger, allowing you to top off your phone in a pinch.
The Moji Plus offers 200 lumens of warm, dimmable light and adjustable brightness, along with an IPX4 rating for water resistance. It also features a double-hook design and the same dual-fuel tech as the Spot 400 Headlamp, meaning you can use it with standard AAAs or Black Diamond’s rechargeable BD 1500 Li-ion battery .
