It almost goes without saying that REI is the shopping mecca of outdoor and fitness gear. Everyone knows (and loves) the co-op/sporting-goods store for its wide selection of the best hiking, camping, and running essentials on the market. We love the mega store for so many reasons, but right now, REI's biggest sale of the year is back—so you can stock up on all your favorite athleticwear and equipment for a fraction of the normal price.

Happening from today through May 27, the retailer's annual Anniversary Sale includes up to 50 percent off thousands of items from brands like the North Face, Garmin, Saucony, Hydro Flask, and so many others. And if you're an REI member, you can score an additional 20 percent off one full-priced item and an extra 20 percent off one REI Outlet product when you use code ANNIV24 at checkout.

A lifetime membership will only cost you a one-time fee of $30, so if you've been looking for an excuse to sign up, this is it. Once you've got that handled, below, shop the 24 best REI anniversary deals that belong in your cart:
