Hiking, camping, skiing, snowboarding, and climbing essentials can be costly, but the cost shouldn’t keep you from enjoying the great outdoors, whether you’re a seasoned backpacker or new to camping. Stock up for your next trip while you can score quality goods on the cheap. Tents, sleeping bags, hiking packs, camp chairs, GPS devices — you name it, there’s probably going to a deal on it during Cyber Monday and Cyber Week. Even better, they’re coming from the top brands in the industry: REI, Backcountry, Columbia Sportswear, Patagonia, Black Diamond, Marmot, and more. We’re scouring your favorite retailers for the best online deals and listing them here in one convenient place.

Best Cyber Monday deals on outdoor gear

What to know about Cyber Monday

Cyber Monday is December 2, the Monday after Thanksgiving. However, Cyber Monday is more than a one-day “holiday” — it has become quite the phenomenon. The best discounts will be available on Monday, but we’ll continue rounding up deals through Cyber Week, which stretches to Sunday, December 8.

How do you know if a Cyber Monday deal is good? Well, we’ll only feature the best, so if a product is on this page, it’s from a trusted source. It also helps to Google the product name to compare reviews and prices.

A quick note about REI, one of our favorite retailers for outdoor gear: REI does not participate in Black Friday. Instead, the nationwide co-op has been encouraging would-be shoppers to #OptOutside since 2015. As a result, we didn’t see any Black Friday sales from REI, but we are still anticipating some great deals for Cyber Week.

Goal Zero’s new Skylight is an LED palm tree for emergencies
A Goal Zero Skylight shining LEDs lights into a darkened hallway.

Goal Zero is expanding its lighting range today with a backup LED system called the Skylight. The Goal Zero Skylight is an all-in-one set that includes a 33Wh battery built in and six LED panels that can blast out 6,000 lumens all told.

There are four brightness settings available, if that much light is overkill for your needs, and the panels can angle outwards as needed to cover a larger area. Combined with the 12 feet of telescoping available from the tripod, you can cover quite the range with visibility. A handle with a one-button release allows you to quickly deploy the Skylight for outdoor work or play, and stakes stored in the legs give you the option to keep it in place. A dedicated spool stows the charging cable when you're not using it, and a carrying case is included to store and move the whole kit.
