If you love the great outdoors or are gift-shopping for the outdoorsmen in your life, REI is a one-stop shop for all the best brands. REI notoriously forgoes a Black Friday event, presenting the #OptOutside campaign instead.

At 70% off, this duffel is one of the best steals hidden in REI's sale. This compact bag is great for bringing to the gym or the office, but it can also be stretched into being an overnight bag if you don't overstuff it. It's also an excellent carry-on.

I’m a huge fan of stocking up on cycling gear when prices fall, especially right around Black Friday. Whether you ride every day, most days, or only occasionally, there are some items that are always handy to have—and that also make thoughtful gifts.
