REI Super Clearance still has good stuff

I was browsing REI today and noticed that they still have a good bit of nice clothing and gear as a part of their super clearance. I guess the outdoor industry is really hurting this year, because stuff this good would normally be long gone this far after the start of the sale. Take advantage of the sales slump and pick up some sweet gear. Here are a couple of the better ones:

REI Slickrock Pants -14.83
– I have a couple pairs of these and love them. I’ll post a more detailed review soon.

REI Peak UL Carbon Trekking Poles – Pair – 54.83
– I picked up a pair of these at the beginning of the sale and have been really happy with them so far. They weigh something like 12 oz. for the pair. I was initially concerned about how strong the they would be, but I have been abusing them as much as possible, with no hint of slippage or failure.

REI Summit Lake Jacket – $29.83 – I just saw this one, so I don’t know much about the jacket. It looks like a 3 layer jacket, which is crazy at a $30 price point. With REI’s fantastic return policy, this one is surely worth a try.

REI Super Clearance has started online!

Just a heads up that REI’s super clearance is active online. Go to REI and REI Outlet and look for sale items ending in .83 to see what they have. Some of the good stuff is gone, but there is still a lot left to grab!

REI Super Clearance Starting Friday Jan 9

REI sent out some post cards to its customers letting us know that the January Super Clearance is starting early this year, on Friday Jan 9th. If you are not familiar with their super clearance, now is a good time to make that acquaintance with one of the best outdoor sales out there.

The deals will be in store and online, on REI’s main site and in the REI Outlet. Your best bet is to look through the clearance items ending in .83 NOW, add them to your cart in advance, and check out as soon as the clearance starts. You should see the updated prices in your cart when the sale starts, so you will be able to remove items that have not updated their price yet or are not part of the sale. If you want to see the clearance items, use the menu up top, hover over a category, then click on the “sale and clearance” link. Look for items ending in .83. Your cart is the same for REI and REI Outlet, so feel free to jump back and forth between the sites. Place small orders for in store pick up instead of spending a lot of time shopping, because everything good will be gone by the time you are done.
