Hi Hiking Friends,

One of the highest end (and most expensive) outdoor brands, Arc’teryx, makes amazing outdoor apparel that rarely goes on sale. Currently there are over 50 Arc’teryx items on sale at REI right now. So if you’re considering an investment in a new jacket, hiking pants, or simply want to splurge on a high tech t-shirt that will last you the next two decades, hop over to REI and take a look. Hopefully one that is in your size is on the sale list!

Also, be sure to take a look at some new gear reviews! My Mogix Portable Charger Review profiles an inexpensive battery backup device that will provide a lot of reassurance when you’re off the grid, plus check out the “Smart” Diaper Bag over at Hiking Baby.

Happy trails!
