If you're in the process of planning your next outdoor adventure, you're in luck. Now's the perfect time to stock up with REI's 2025 Anniversary Sale. From now until May 26, REI is running its biggest sale event of the year. The sale features sitewide discounts of up to 30% on popular brands like YETI, Vuori, Patagonia, and more. While you don't need to be an REI Co-op member to shop the sale, members can save even more by applying the promo code ANNIV25 at checkout to get an extra 20% off one full-price item and one REI Outlet item. See our roundup of the best REI coupons to stay up to date on the latest promotions. With over 1,000 products included in the sale, you might be overwhelmed by your options. Luckily, some editor favorites are among the markdowns. "I'm very picky when it comes to what frames I put on my face. I'm subject to headaches when I wear heavy or stiff glasses, and I often don't like how frames look on my face. I'm also not the type to take very good care of my glasses. That's why I can so happily report that I love my Sunski Dipseas," says Sarah Saril, deals and how-to-watch editor on the Reviews team. "They're super lightweight, but don't sacrifice strength and durability. I've put my pair through the wringer; I've left them loose in my backpack, shuffled them around in purses, and even forgotten them in moving boxes. They've emerged unscathed every time, ready for the next adventure I take them on." Saril is also a fan of Thule's Motion 3 Roof Box. "I love travelling and camping with my dogs, but when you have three of them to cart around for hours at a time, it leaves very little space left for luggage. That's why I invested in a roof box from one of the biggest names in the business: Thule," she says. "I own the older version of the Thule Motion 3 XL Roof Box, which improves upon my model with a more aerodynamic form factor. This thing is a lifesaver and stores a shocking amount very securely within its shell. Installation requires at least two pairs of hands, but once it's on top of your car, it's not difficult to load up. It's a worthwhile purchase at full price, but with a $200 discount, it's even more so." "I've been running for over 10 years, and getting a Garmin Forerunner a few years back was an absolute game changer. I use the Forerunner 55, which is a bit older than the Forerunner 165," says Lillian Brown, associate streaming editor on the Reviews team. "I wear the watch every single day and use it to track my outdoor runs through GPS and my indoor runs on the treadmill. In addition to the watch's great battery life, I'm a big fan of the body battery and heart rate features, which help me determine how I slept and how well I'm recovering post-run." Some items might sell out before the sale ends on May 26, so add your favorites to your cart while you can. Note that the prices shown here reflect the prices for non-members. If you're a member, be sure to apply the promo code at checkout to see the correct discount reflected. Anniversary Sale at REI for more deals.

The Revlon One Step makes home hair styling cheap and easy, and it's only $30
Good hot tools make a world of difference when it comes to styling your hair. The best ones help you get out the door with a full blowout in minutes while also saving your hair from unwanted heat damage and breakage. That said, some can cost you hundreds of dollars. Luckily, the Revlon One-Step Volumizer does an equally good job without sending you into debt. Plus, it's more affordable than ever during the Amazon Summer Beauty Event. Follow our WhatsApp channel on mobile for more shopping content from the Reviews Team It may be hard to believe that the Revlon One-Step boasts similar quality to popular styling tools like the Dyson Airwrap, which cost hundreds of dollars more. But we've tried it for ourselves and were impressed. "I'm not the type of person to spend very much on my hair, so when I heard about a Dyson Airwrap dupe that costs less than $50, I was sold," says Sarah Saril, deals and how-to-watch editor on the Reviews Team. "Of course, at hundreds of dollars less, the Revlon One-Step isn't nearly as feature-packed or smoothly designed as the Dyson users compare it to. It is, however, a versatile, all-in-one tool that gives me a salon-worthy blowout in minutes. I can't recommend it enough, especially with this ongoing discount." The One-Step features three speeds and heat settings, plus a cool shot feature, allowing you to control how much heat you're using on your hair, though you'll still need to use a heat protectant, of course. The oval brush design is easy to hold and perfect for smoothing down hair while also lifting the roots and adding volume. But it's the price that's really hard to beat. "It's not the best deal we've ever seen—this tool specifically can hit some very low prices during the holidays. Regardless, it's still a worthwhile deal, especially since promotions for it have been few and far between in recent years," Saril explains. With nearly 400,000 five-star reviews, Amazon shoppers can't get enough of the One-Step either. "I've been using this for four years, and it has completely transformed my hair routine! If you're tired of juggling a brush and a blow dryer, this all-in-one tool is an absolute game changer," said one reviewer. "After four years of regular use, the volumizer is still going strong. It has maintained its performance, and I'm genuinely impressed by its durability…My hair looks smoother and has significantly less frizz compared to using a standard blow dryer." Shoppers love how well it works for different hair types. "My mom, daughter, and I all have one…My mom and daughter have very thick hair, and mine is thinner. My daughter and I have tons of natural curl. We all used to take an hour blow drying and styling, but this tool cut our time in half," said another reviewer. "We have all experienced our best hair days since using it…The brush doesn't tangle in your hair so you can really get in and create volume. It's a fairly light tool and tons easier than managing a round bush and blow dryer." With the current Summer Beauty Event discount on Amazon, the Revlon One-Step is 27% off. Add it to your cart now for just $30 while the deal lasts and check out our full roundup of the best deals from the Amazon Summer Beauty Event. Still shopping? Browse through the full for more deals.
