REI is also slashing prices for Prime Day. Here are the best deals I found
Luckily for us, REI is also discounting tons of great products to fuel your summer adventures. If you're hunting for the best Prime Day deals on technical gear, look no further, because I've been shopping at REI for over a decade and have curated discounts on products I actually think are worth the spend. Here are all of my editor-favorite REI products that are seeing price drops today.
Altra Men's Lone Peak 9 Trail Running Shoes
A slightly less grippy version of some of my absolute favorite hiking shoes, Altra's famous Lone Peaks are 30% off right now, just in time for those big summer hikes.
Arc'teryx Men's Atom Insulated Hoodie
Arc'teryx gear is always expensive, so whenever it goes on sale it's worth taking a look. The Atom insulated jacket is one of my favorite Arc'teryx pieces, as it has a great warmth-to-weight ratio and has great weather-repellency. Read our review
REI Men's Rainier Rain Jacket
If you're in need of a rain jacket but don't want to spend a fortune, this is the one for you. It's our pick for the best budget rain jacket, and now it's getting an extra $30 off. For real, this deal is a no-brainer. Read our review
REI Co-op Men's Sahara Stretch Convertible Pants
Hiking pants are great for protecting your legs from bushes and debris, but if the sun comes out and it's hotter than you expected, convertible pants are a must. These repel weather, have a UPF 50+ rating and are super stretchy for ultimate comfort.
Kuhl Men's Persuadr Shirt
I love clothes from Kuhl, so when I saw discounts on this UPF 50-rated shirt, I was very intrigued. It's the perfect option to stay stylish and cool under the intense summer heat, whether you're hiking in the alpine or strolling around downtown.
Arc'teryx Women's Beta SL Jacket
This rain jacket is an excellent shell and will keep you dry in basically any storm. Normally, it's too expensive for most to justify, but this Prime Day, you can snag one for nearly $150 off.
Patagonia Women's Nano Puff Insulated Jacket
Patagonia makes some of our favorite jackets, and this insulated puffy is no exception. It's lightweight, surprisingly warm and comes backed by Patagonia's Ironclad Guarantee. Read our review
Brooks Women's Ghost 16 Road Running Shoes
Summer is the time for running, and if you need a new pair of comfy kicks, these Brooks are for you. They have tons of cushion and support, and thanks to their 27% discount, won't break the bank.
Teva Women's Original Universal Sandals
If summer means heading into the water, whether it's a pool, river or ocean, you're going to need some good sandals. We love Tevas, especially the original model. Even at full price, they're a good deal, so now that they're even cheaper, it's the perfect time to get a pair. Read our review
REI Co-op Women's Sahara T-Shirt
Staying cool in the sun is a top priority during the summer, and this lightweight tee can help thanks to its UPF 30 rating. Made from partially recycled materials, this moisture-wicking top can handle any adventure you throw at it.
Garmin Fenix 7X Sapphire Solar
Garmin smartwatches are incredibly useful on runs, backpacking trips and other big adventures, but they're normally so expensive. Luckily, the Fenix 7X Sapphire Solar is getting a massive $350 discount right now.
REI Co-op DRT 3.3 Mountain Bike
Mountain biking is definitely having a moment, and if you've wanted to try out the sport but don't want to spend a fortune on a bike, this discounted ride is a fantastic option.
GoPro Hero13 Black Specialty Bundle
Will people even believe your stories if you don't film them? This GoPro bundle comes with a carrying case and microSD card so you can document all your adventures right away.
Alps Mountaineering King Kong Chair
Relaxing in the backyard, at the beach or in the woods has never been easier with the massive King Kong Chair from Alps Mountaineering. I've tested this chair myself and loved how comfy it is. Right now, you can save $20 on the cozy seat.
Shokz OpenRun Pro2 Open-Ear Headphones
Listening to music while running can help with pacing and motivation, but you don't want your tunes to completely drown out the environment. These open-ear headphones use bone conduction so you can stay tuned into your music and what's going on around you at the same time. If you're gearing up for summer adventures, there isn't a ton of high-quality stuff available at Amazon. Sure, you can find a hidden gem or two every once in a while, and some reputable brands are on there too, but if you want the best selection of gear that will actually hold up, you've got to go to REI. I've been shopping at REI for over a decade, and I'm super familiar with the brands listed on its website. I scoured through thousands of markdowns to find the absolute best.

3 Ways a Luxury Gym Membership Can Actually Save You Money
A luxury gym membership might seem like a splurge, but it can be a surprisingly smart financial move. Many high-end gyms include perks that would cost extra elsewhere — and if you take full advantage, you could end up saving money overall. Read Next: Check Out: Here are the luxury gym membership perks that can end up saving you money. On-Site Child Care Many luxury gyms provide on-site child care for members at no additional charge. For example, Life Time gyms have on-site Kids Academies where parents can drop off kids while they work out. Children ages 3 months and up can receive up to 2 1/2 hours of child care, while infants can receive up to two hours. Babysitters typically charge around $20 per hour, so those cost savings can add up if you utilize these services multiple times a week. Explore More: Built-In Co-Working Spaces As traditional office life evolves, many workers now work remotely at least part of the time. Buying access to a co-working space can be pricey — for example, a WeWork membership costs $160 or more a month — but some gyms offer access to these spaces as part of its membership. Life Time is one gym that offers this perk. 'Life Time Work Club Lounges are open plan work, community-style areas inside Life Time athletic country clubs that are complimentary for all Life Time members to use,' its site states. 'No specific Life Time Work membership required.' Boutique Classes and Spa Access There's no need to pay for individual classes or spa access when you join a high-end gym. Almost all of the premium chains include unlimited group exercise classes, as well providing on-site saunas. At Equinox, members can take classes that include boxing, Pilates and HIIT — classes that can cost up to $50 each when booked at a boutique fitness studio.

Porsche 911-Shaped Backpacks Are Here Just in Time for Back to School
The latest car news, reviews, and features. I have purchased one thing from AliExpress ever, and it was kind of a miserable experience, so I don't foresee myself doing it again. But I'm still unfortunately well aware of the range of goods the site offers, thanks to Instagram ads. A friend of mine got served one recently that could only be the product of AI's vast, cursed imagination, and it's so absurd that I had to share it here. Titled the '2024 Personality Creative Casual Fashion Luxury Style Backpack School Bag Male Girlfriend Birthday Gift,' (you may have to switch your region outside of the U.S. to view it), this is a backpack shaped like the rear end of a Porsche 911— sometimes . Because while two of the images definitely present a 911-esque design, as we can see below, one of them doesn't really correspond to any car at all. It doesn't even share the obviously very functional spoiler of the examples in the other pictures. Slop like this is unfortunately just a part of everyday life now, and more than anything, I'm curious what I would actually receive if I spent the—deep breath now—$200 plus $130 in shipping to get it. Would it be a picture of the backpack? Which backpack would it look like—the one with the carbon diffuser or the body-color one? If by some miracle it was a real backpack, how would you even open the damn thing without obvious zippers anywhere? I have many questions, but unfortunately, The Drive's editorial budget doesn't really allow me to satisfy that curiosity. Which of these three different-looking bags would you actually get? Who knows! AliExpress The '2024 Personality Creative Casual Fashion Luxury Style Backpack School Bag Male Girlfriend Birthday Gift' was a mystery to me. But I didn't want to wait for the 2025 model to drop, so I did some more digging. What I found was another 911-shaped bag—and this one, dare I say, kind of does look real. Called the 'Camping Bag Men's backpacks Tactical backpack Women's bag Backpack backpack school,' this version is more affordable despite being four times the backpack of the other one, priced at $83 with $53 for shipping and handling. Still quite expensive, but at least the pictures don't appear to have been generated by Grok, so I'd wager that there's more of a chance of receiving a physical product here. Hey, at least it looks like something that might potentially exist? AliExpress Up close, we see its hard shell has the texture of a car's dashboard, and there are exactly two pockets within. Otherwise, you have the entire inside of a 911's ass to store oddly shaped objects. It's not exactly the most practical shape for cargo—it's better suited for engines, after all. Perhaps a backpack modeled in the image of a different car would be a little more usable. I imagine the 911 can't be the only car anyone's ever wanted to carry on their shoulders. Despite my searching, however, I couldn't find another bag with a similar slant. Not a Dodge Challenger backpack, or a Tesla-shaped backpack, or an angry Lamborghini backpack. From what I can tell, this appears to be a purely Porsche-centric affair. There are, unsurprisingly, a number of backpacks with the same product photos listed on the site. AliExpress Anyway, I know back-to-school season is kicking off, but nobody should order the 'Camping Bag Men's backpacks Tactical backpack Women's bag Backpack backpack school,' especially not for $136. That said, if you assess the risks and decide to anyway, I 1) can't stop you and 2) thank you for your bravery. Please share a photo of whatever you receive. It could be the bag pictured, or a printed picture of it, or a lawn chair, or nothing. You never really know with AliExpress, and that's part of the fun. Got tips? Send 'em to tips@
