Sweet deals on outdoor gear are rolling in to start the new year, and REI is leading the pack with big discounts on all kinds of great stuff. You can find huge savings on durable outdoor pants like this pair from Fjallraven and cozy up for the winter with this warm puffer from Columbia for just over $100. It's not just clothing, though—a recent deal on a pair of legendary Merrell hiking shoes just popped up with a $30 discount, and they're almost guaranteed to go fast.
Merrell’s Moab 3 Hiking Shoes are now on sale for $90, which is 25% off of the regular price of $120. These legendary hiking shoes have been around for a long time and have garnered a following: Over 300 shoppers have showered them with five-star ratings and praise because of their “very stable” build with “good ventilation.” Two colors are available at the closeout price—a subdued grey/light orange and a more exciting black/grey/bright orange—and most of the popular sizes are still on the board for both. If you’re looking for a hiking shoe that is better suited for trail running, Merrell’s Moab Speed Lows may be a fit, and they are also on sale at REI.

A solid pair of hiking shoes should be in everyone’s outdoor gear close. Hiking boots have their place when carrying a heavy load, but hiking shoes like this pair from Merrell are where it’s at for fast and fun day hikes. Updated from the well-loved Moab 2, the 3 adds recycled materials, more supportive insoles, more cushioned midsoles, and a grippier and more aggressive outsole for an all-around better shoe. They are super durable, with a tough pigskin upper with protective rubber toe caps to fend off sharp rocks on rough trails. Other features include air cushioning in the heels, nylon shanks for better stability, and Vibram outsoles made from a technical compound to provide better grip and traction while still offering flexibility.
Satisfied shoppers love that the shoes are still great quality and live up to their predecessors’ good name. “These bad boys are absolutely incredible—thick, quality, confidence," an enthusiastic shopper said. "I'm absolutely in love. Will be a yearly purchase.” Another attested to their enduring appeal by saying that they are on their “sixth pair—always great fit, comfort, and style.”

I’ve owned several pairs of these over the past 25 years. No complaints.”
