Altra Olympus 6 — Men’s and Women’s: $131 (25% Off)

The Altra Olympus 6 is a zero-drop, max-cushion trail running shoe with an emphasis on grip and long trail sessions. This version has an updated lug pattern for more traction and confidence on technical terrain. The shoe uses Altra’s roomy toebox and puts oodles of EVA foam in the midsoles. A snug fit upper may feel restrictive to some, especially Altra fans, but it provides a locked-and-loaded feel that loyalists of this shoe adore. Another unique feature is the Achilles pillow, which provides extra comfort around the heel. If you like hiking in trail run shoes, these are a popular choice.

Read our Altra Olympus 6 review for more details. And if the Olympus isn’t your favorite shoe from the brand, you’ll find all Altra shoes are 25% off.

REI Co-op Swiftland TT Carbon Folding Trekking Poles: $118 (30% Off)

This sale is a great time to save on a new set of poles. The REI Co-op Swiftland TT Carbon Folding Trekking Poles can help steady your stride on steep and rough terrain and then quickly fold down to stash until you need them again. The Swiftland TT poles have carbon shafts in a fixed-length design that keeps the weight low. A plastic-sheathed Dyneema inner cord holds the poles together, and a simple locking mechanism makes them easy to deploy.

Ergonomic EVA foam grips dampen vibrations from repeated impacts and accommodate different hand positions. Nylon wrist straps ensure you hang onto the poles and can help alleviate hand fatigue.

REI Co-op Swiftland 5″ High-Rise Running Shorts — Women’s: $42 (30% Off)

REI must have taken in a lot of member input to design its REI Co-op Swiftland 5″ High-Rise Running Shorts. These women’s shorts have a wide, high-rise waistband and an outseam shaped to maximize airflow and range of motion for high-stride runners. The shorts are made from an ultralightweight recycled nylon/spandex grid fabric that stretches as you move and wicks sweat away from your body. A built-in brief liner made of mesh breathes well.

The shorts have a secure-zip back pocket along the waistband for secure storage, and two smaller stash pockets on each side, one with a key loop, which are perfectly sized for gels. An internal card pocket on the liner makes sure you can get a coffee after your run.

REI Co-op Swiftland 7″ Running Shorts — Men’s: $42 (30% Off)

The men’s REI Co-op Swiftland 7″ Running Shorts are made from ultralightweight recycled nylon/spandex grid fabric and have a stretchy and breezy fit. The fabric breathes well and dries fast to keep you cool. Similarly, the built-in boxer-brief liner is made of soft mesh for cool, breathable support. The longer fit comes with outseam vents to make room for legs in motion.

Stash a phone and gels in the three waistband pockets — two envelope pockets and one zippered pocket along the back. A liner pocket can nestle your credit card against your leg.

La Sportiva Jackal II — Men’s and Women’s: $115 (30% Off)

Nathan Pinnacle FeatherLite Vest: $90 (25% Off)

A minimalist take on running vests, the Nathan Pinnacle FeatherLite Vest weighs just 5.5 ounces and has a 1.5-liter storage capacity.  Most of this compression-fitted vest is mesh for superior breathability, and there are four pockets in front to hold water and fuel. Sternum and side adjustment straps let you dial in the fit. It has a large back pocket and a right-entry zipper closure for storing a jacket and other essentials.

Nathan TrailMix 12-Liter 2.0 Hydration Vest: $116 (27% Off)

Keeping your gear from jostling around while running is always a big part of a hydration vest’s job, and the Nathan TrailMix 12-Liter 2.0 Hydration Vest has several ways to cinch and tighten the fit of the vest and its contents. Updates dropped some weight from the previous version while adding more storage options. It sports four stretchy front bottle pockets that each hold up to 20 ounces of liquid. The main compartment has a roll-top design for easy access.

Brooks Racerback 2.0 Sports Bra: $52 (30% Off)

The nearly seamless Brooks Racerback 2.0 Sports Bra is made from a wicking fabric and has perforations in high-sweat zones to increase airflow. A built-in molded unicup and bottom band help reduce motion and provide high-impact comfort for several sizes. The bra is secured by a back hook-and-eye closure.

REI Co-op Swiftland High-Low-Hem Running T-Shirt — Women’s: $28 (30% Off)

The REI Co-op High-Low-Hem Running T-Shirt is so airy and stretchy, you’ll want to wear it for any summer workouts or hikes. The brand’s microventilated SwiftTex fabric is REI’s lightest, and the women’s specific design incorporates a high-low hem.

REI Co-op Swiftland Running T-Shirt — Men’s: $28 (30% Off)

If there’s one standout feature of the REI Co-op Swiftland Running T-Shirt, it’s the shirt’s breathability. REI uses microventilated SwiftTex fabric, its lightest running fabric that stretches, wicks sweat, and dries fast so you stay cool and dry on the trail. The shirt has raglan sleeves and underarm gussets, flat seams, and some reflective trim.
