The Best Memorial Day Outdoor Gear Sales of 2026

Memorial Day is here! If you’re not already camping and enjoying the holiday weekend outside—chances are you’re not, as we hope you’re not reading this in the woods—it’s a smart time to stock up on gear for your next adventure.

No doubt, Memorial Day is one of the best times of the year to shop. Online retailers are slashing prices left and right. But there are so many holiday sales this week, the digital deals landscape can feel tougher to navigate than an off-trail bushwhack in the densest reaches of the Amazon. But Amazon is having a big ole Memorial Day sale on outdoor and fitness gear here. Which proves our point. There are so. Many. Memorial. Day. Sales.

Luckily for you, our gear team loves saving money on gear almost as much as they like using it. These penny-pinching, spec-scrutinizing outdoor nerds sifted through hundreds of Memorial Day sales to bring you over 30 deals from 9 Memorial Day sales that merit your immediate consideration. Give ‘em a gander below and scoop up something you might need (or want) for less.
