REI's Gear Up Get Out Sale is Here! See our favorite deals ⛺

Hi Friends!
We have some really exciting news. The CleverHiker team has been building a new website, and we'll be unveiling it very soon. The new site will be fast, beautiful, and packed with features to make the user experience even better than before. We think you're gonna love it.
Senior Gear Analyst, Casey, just finished the second half of her Arizona Trail thru hike, and we couldn't be more proud. We always get really excited to hear her dish after big adventures.
We also want to remind you that REI's annual Gear Up Get Out Sale starts today and runs through Nov. 20. Whether you’re getting a head start on holiday shopping or treating yourself, this is a great time to snag the gear you've had your eye on for less. As usual, we scoured the sale and put together a guide to the deals you won't want to miss.
We hope you're doing well and getting out to enjoy the outdoors!
As always, thanks for following along.

The Cotopaxi Fuego Hoody (men’s / women’s) has become one of our favorite jackets for layering up in the cooler months of spring, fall, and winter. You've probably noticed the eye-catching style at your local ski mountain, climbing crag, trailhead, or brewery.

We love the bright colorways too, but what really draws us to the Fuego is the great price for the weight, down quality, and warmth. This jacket is already among the most affordable 800 fill-power-down options out there, but you can get it for even less right now since it's 25% off at REI.
We think the Cotopaxi Fuego is a killer all-around jacket for anyone who loves the outdoors. That's why it continues to hold a top spot on our list of the best down jackets.
