Summer camping is out. Fall camping is in. According to the temperatures, camping in September, October, and maybe even November could be more comfortable and enjoyable than summer adventures. Whichever you prefer, a great camping journey requires great gear, and REI has been a longtime leader in providing the essentials we need.

Just in time for cooler temps, the REI Labor Day Sale is packing in the deals on camping gear like tents and camp chairs. There are also great discounts on watersport toys like kayaks and SUP. If your old clothing items are getting worn out, take advantage of 25% off all Darn Tough socks or get some new kicks while saving 25% with Keen and Altra.

Fall camping needs preparing with a few extra cozy layers, and the Rumpl Backcountry Puffy Blanket is just what every evening calls for. The weather-resistant blanket is made with a PFAS-free water repellent, and a cape-clip that easily allows you to wear the blanket as well, a cape. Maybe best of all, it’s machine washable so you won’t have to worry if a bit of s’mores ends up on the blanket.
