REI doesn't do a Black Friday or Cyber Monday sale. At least not in name. There's a Cyber Deals sale this week, with some new markdowns that arrived to the site on Saturday. But there is no "buy everything 75 percent off" Cyber Monday scenario.

REI is hosting a huge early Cyber Monday sale with hundreds of must-have deals on travel gear and outdoor essentials. Read on to shop the 55 best markdowns available this weekend, from The North Face jackets to Columbia hiking boots — starting at $12.

Make the most of Cyber Monday with this holiday gift guide focused on the traveler in your life. From lightweight carry-ons to warm wraps, tech and more, consider these options.
