What You Should Get With Your Member Coupon

During the REI Member Days sale REI Members get 20 percent off one full-price item with the coupon code MEMBER26. Here are a few pieces of outdoor gear we love that are good candidate for buying with your member coupon.

I just got back from a three-day trip using this pad for the first time in a few months. What a revelation it is, every time I sleep on this thing. I'd been testing other pads most of the winter. While some are very good, nothing compares to the Therm-a-Rest NeoLoft for comfort. This pad reinvigorated my love of backpacking by ensuring that I get a great night's sleep in the backcountry. It's cushy and comfortable, like a plush car-camping pad, with excellent pressure relief. The R-4.8 insulation keeps you warm down to about freezing.

The Big Agnes Copper Spur tents are high quality, lightweight, and well designed. At 2 pounds 10 ounces for the two-person model, this is one of the lightest freestanding tents on the market. It's easy to set up, and stable even in strong winds. The Copper Spur is also very livable, with steep sidewalls to maximize interior space.

I tested this pack quite a bit last summer as part of an upcoming ultralight backpack guide. It's very comfortable, carrying a 25-pound load without issue. It's not the lightest pack I've tried (it's 1 pound, 14 ounces for a medium), but like most REI-brand gear, it strikes a great balance between features and price. It's made of UHMWPE ripstop nylon, with shaped steel piping for the frame.

Any flame will work, but Coleman's Cascade 3-in-1 stove really elevates your outdoor cooking experience. It's all about the cast iron grates. They're sturdier than the usual metal and don't warp over time. The coupon brings the price here down to $200.

Deals on Camping and Backpacking Gear

Nemo Equipment’s Mayfly Osmo tent is the two-person tent I reach for the most. It's solidly built, cleverly designed, and has proved durable, and most importantly, dry, in my years of testing. The Dragonfly Osmo is a slightly lighter tent than the Mayfly above, aimed at ultralight backpackers who want a freestanding tent.

The Wonderland 6 replaces my beloved Kingdom 6, as REI spacious, hoop-design family car camping tent. While I prefer the square design of the Base Camp 6, the Wonderland 6 is undeniably roomier, better ventilated, and overall a better choice for most families.

The Z-Lite Sol weighs next to nothing (10 ounces for the small), folds up small enough to lash to the outside of any pack, and can double as a chair, extra padding on cold nights, table, you name it.

Formerly our top pick for backpacking sleeping pads, the Exped Ultra 7R is still a great winter sleeping pad, especially at this price. The Ultra has down insulation inside it to achieve the high R-value.
