No fall hikes or outdoor walks should be undertaken without the proper gear. Luckily, REI has everything you need to stay active and warm year-round, and at prices you can’t help but appreciate. For a limited time, during its big holiday sale, I found a Stanley water bottle, Vuori joggers, Brooks running shoes and more on sale just in time for the season. Score these cold-weather exercise essentials before they sell out.

Brooks Ghost Max 2 Road-Running Shoes
REI
We here at EatingWell dubbed the Brooks Ghost 16 sneaker the “best overall” walking shoe because of its “comfort, cushion and support.” We also appreciated its “great shock absorption,” which “makes high-impact activities like jumping and running more comfortable on the joints without feeling clunky or cumbersome.” Since the Ghost Max 2 incorporates the line’s signature design, just with added cushion, we can only imagine how much more padded your joints will feel during a workout.
Hoka Mach X 2 Road-Running Shoes
REI
One REI shopper loved the Hoka Mach X 2 running shoe so much, they purchased another pair not soon after. The company designed the sneaker with a distinct curve and a supportive plate, so runners can push off from the ground quickly and efficiently. If you’re looking to set a new personal record, this shoe is for you.
Stanley IceFlow AeroLight Water Bottle
REI
If drinking water is a top priority for you, you’ll want to invest in a quality bottle that keeps your drink cold for hours, is easy to sip from and doesn’t spill if tipped over. The Stanley IceFlow checks every box—and then some. In addition to all of the aforementioned benefits, it’s also dishwasher-safe, lightweight and has a handle on top.
The North Face Alta Vista Rain Jacket
REI
Hundreds of REI shoppers know that staying dry in rainy weather is easy when you have a good rain jacket, which is why they recommend the Alta Vista by The North Face. They love that it’s completely waterproof and breathable, thanks to its under-arm vents and lightweight fabric. Two colors are on sale, but only for a limited time.
Vuori Performance Joggers
REI
Vuori is famous for its extremely soft fabric, which my mom dubbed “buttery” in the past. The brand applied this same material to these stretchy joggers, creating the ultimate loungewear. One REI shopper even called them the “softest, most comfy pants imaginable.”
Teva Tirra Sandals
REI
Teva makes some of our favorite walking sandals. Since we’re fans of the brand’s prices and comfortable fit, we were excited to find this pair marked down by 33% in select colors at REI. Whether you’re preparing for a warm-weather vacation or simply stocking up for next summer, you’ll be happy you bought these comfortable sandals when you did.
