REI's member coupons are here: Save big on Patagonia, Yeti, North Face and more

If you've ever purchased a tent before, you know that the number of people a tent says it'll fit and the number of people it'll fit comfortably are two very different things. That's why when I go camping with my family, heck, even by myself, I opt for a larger tent so everyone can sprawl out. The North Face Wawona does you one better, with a covered vestibule where you can store your gear when it isn't being used.

Having carried my fair share of 60-quart (or larger) coolers uphill to a campsite, do yourself a favor and get one with wheels. Trust me, it'll be worth the extra cash, especially considering this one is 90 bucks off. 

It was road-tested by commerce editor Janelle Randazza, and she had this to say: "I'm crazy about this cooler. It's big enough to store everything we need for a campout or tailgate but small enough to fit in the trunk of our Prius. I can attest that everything will stay cool (from cans to hot dogs and anything else) for up to 48 hours."

This is the one travel backpack to rule them all. I should know; I have two. Small enough to be used as a personal item on even the stingiest of airlines (I'm looking at you, Frontier) it has pockets to keep everything organized. I've traveled through dozens of airports with this bag on my back and I've yet to come up with a downside, except maybe the price, which is much easier to stomach with this sale.

While Yeti has long been synonymous with quality coolers, its foray into the tumbler market with the Rambler lineup has solidified its reputation as a top-tier brand for insulated drinkware. I have received Yeti water bottles and tumblers as gifts for years now and use them daily.

When it comes to camping and road trips, the Black Hole Duffel is my go-to. It's tough, weather-resistant and swallows up gear like a champ (hence the name). I can toss it in the back of a truck or strap it to my roof basket without worrying about rain or dust. Tie it down, and I'm ready to roll.

It's hard to fit kids, puppies, the in-laws and luggage inside your vehicle for a road trip. One thing that makes it a bit easier? Throw your luggage on the roof. This SkyBox is huge and will fit almost anything you need to throw in it. (No matter how much you want to, please refrain from sticking any passengers up there.)

There are three things I know about Thule strollers: They're top of the line, they're expensive and they rarely go on sale. This jogger glides with ease, hence the name, and has plenty of room for storage. With the 20% off coupon, it's over $100 off.

To hood or not to hood, that is the question. For me, the answer almost always is "to hood." I want to know that if there's an unexpected drizzle, snow or sandstorm (great, now Darude is stuck in my head) I can flip up my hood and escape it. The Nano Puff is iconic for a reason, and the hood just makes a great jacket that much better.

Patagonia took its beloved Down Sweater and added some length — honestly, a great call. This parka packs 800-fill recycled down for serious warmth. Lightweight, breathable and windproof, it's perfect for cold-but-not-Arctic days. 

The longer cut keeps you completely covered (ideal for chilly dog walks), and the sleek design won't make you look expedition-ready. If a standard puffer isn't enough but a full parka feels like overkill, this is the sweet spot.

This sneaker is a sleek, all-day comfort machine disguised as a running shoe. With On's signature cushioning, an updated midsole for better stability and a breathable mesh upper, it's built for effortless movement — whether you're crushing a morning jog or just grabbing coffee. The speed-lacing system makes slipping them on a breeze, and the lightweight design means you might forget you're even wearing shoes.
