IF YOU LOVE the great outdoors or are gift-shopping for the outdoorsmen in your life, REI is a one-stop shop for all the best brands. REI notoriously forgoes a Black Friday event, presenting the #OptOutside campaign instead.

REI closes for Black Friday for its Opt Outside initiative, but we still found great Black Friday deals from brands like The North Face, JBL, Smartwoold and more.

REI doesn't do Black Friday. The US-based outdoor adventure store, which boasts a massive bike section among snow, hike and camping gear, instead chooses to OptOutside, closing all of its stores for the day.
