There is a huge amount on sale, so we’ve spent a little bit of time looking through the deals to find the best bargains on the site. Here are some of our favorite deals we’ve spotted — and there’s many more than what we have space to list, so be sure to surf around and see what’s available. Act fast though: Supply is limited, and once its gone, it’s gone. Though you’ll likely have another chance to save during Prime Day.

REI Co-op Passage 3 Tent


REI’s Passage 3 Tent has enough space inside to comfortably fit three people, or two people with a lot of extra space for all your gear. The Passage 3 also features a covered vestibule, which provides additional covered storage space for even more gear or whatever you’d like to keep out of the elements. It also gives additional protection from the weather for the occupants inside.

The interior is rectangular to optimize space, with adjustable ceiling vents to promote better air circulation and pockets, hang loops, and a gear loft to get all your stuff out of the way of your living space. While the tent has a floor space of 72-by-88 inches, it takes up just an eighth of that space when packed up, making it easy to carry. Normally $199, the Passage 3 is marked down to $139 during the sale.

The North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse Vest – Men’s

Gear from The North Face ca be pretty expensive normally, and sales aren’t that frequent. However, REI’s deal on the 1996 Retro Nuptse Vest is a good one, especially if you appreciate its mid-90s design aesthetic. With 700-fill-power goose down, you are going to be very warm in this vest, which has a stowable hood that provides additional protection from the elements should you need it. Another great feature? The entire jacket folds into one of its own pockets so you can store it away in a bag until you need it.

Normally $179, the black version of this jacket is marked down to $125. If you like red or gold, those color options are even cheaper at $89 each, but sizes and quantities are much more limited.

Mountain Summit Gear 300 Lumen Headlamp

If you’re a hiker or explorer, a headlamp is always a good buy. REI’s 4th of July sale includes a great deal on a headlamp from Mountain Summit Gear that brings a $50 headlamp down to just $20. A twist-and-pull telescoping beam allows you to switch from a spotlight to a floodlight depending on your needs, and with 300 lumens, this headlamp can light up what’s ahead of you up to 265 meters. That’s much better than any of those cheap camping headlamps you might find at Walmart.

Despite its funny name, the Nemo Disco 30 sleeping bag is a serious sleeping bag that will keep you warm in just about any situation.

Normally $260, the Disco 30 is marked down to $195 during the sale.

Walmart just slashed the price of the all-digital Xbox Series X by $52
The Microsoft Xbox Series X Digital Edition and an Xbox Wireless Controller.

If you're looking for gaming deals that you can take advantage of in the run-up to the holidays, here's one that you won't want to miss: the Microsoft Xbox Series X Digital Edition for only $398, following a $52 discount from Walmart on its original price of $450. You won't always see a discount for this gaming console, which is why we think this offer will attract a lot of attention. Stocks may run out quickly, so if you're interested, you need to push through with your purchase as soon as possible.

Why you should buy the Microsoft Xbox Series X Digital Edition
Before you buy the Microsoft Xbox Series X Digital Edition, you should probably understand what you're getting. This is a new version of the Xbox Series X, which is the flagship model of Microsoft's video game consoles, but without the disc drive. This makes it similar to the Xbox Series S, but with the much more powerful brains of the Xbox Series X and 1TB of storage. You'll also get an Xbox Wireless Controller, alongside all the cables you need to plug and play with the Xbox Series X Digital Edition.

The 11-inch iPad Pro M2 sold out, but you can get the iPad Pro M4 for the same price
iPad Pro with M2 inside.

If you've been looking forward to the arrival of this year's Cyber Monday Apple deals. it's time to get excited. There are some excellent deals. Best Buy was offering the Wi-Fi + Cellular model of the 11-inch Apple iPad Pro M2 for only $1,099, following a $1,000 discount that nearly halved the tablet's original price of $2,099. But since there's always high demand for savings on Apple's iPad from Cyber Monday deals, that offer is sold out. Don't panic, though. Best Buy also has the 11-inch Apple iPad Pro with M4 Chip for the same price -- $1,099. It's only a savings of $100, down from $1,199, but that's still a fantastic price. We highly recommend shopping this deal before it sells out too.

 
Why you should buy the 11-inch Apple iPad Pro M4 instead
The Apple iPad Pro M2 wasn't the latest version of the powerful tablet -- that distinction goes to the Apple iPad Pro M4, yet both have rightfully taken their place in our list of the best iPads as the best premium option. Since the first deal on the M2 model sold out, you're getting the best of the best right now for the same price, anyway.
