Fall is the perfect season for outdoor adventures — and it's also the ideal time to upgrade your gear. While Prime Big Deal Days is just around the corner, REI is offering better deals than Amazon when it comes to outdoor apparel from premium brands.

The retailer's fall sale is currently knocking up to 50% off select styles from brands like Patagonia, Arc'teryx, Brooks and more. Even better? I've rounded up my favorite deals — and they all happen to be under $50. So if you have some outdoor excursions marked on your calendar this season, you can look the part without breaking the bank.

Whether you're hiking the trails or sleeping under the stars this fall, REI's sale has everything you need starting at just $10. Keep scrolling to check out all my favorite finds under $50 from REI.
