Benefits of REI Membership
March 25, 2019This is a sponsored post written by me for REI. This post contains affiliate links. All opinions are mine alone.
Whenever I’m feeling stressed out or overworked, there’s always one solution that seems to work wonders: just getting outdoors! Just a walk through the park can really clear my mind and reset my mood. That’s why I was excited about the opportunity to check out some of the apparel from REI Co-op. The folks at REI are really passionate about spending time outdoors… just like me!
March can be a tricky time of year when it comes to getting dressed for the weather. Mornings tend to be colder, while afternoons tend to be warmer. I have found that layers are the best bet for this time of year. A light jacket goes a long way in carrying me through the day’s fluctuating temps. I recently received two jackets from REI. The Trailsmith Jacket has a neutral color and is totally comfortable.
Did you know that REI’s mission is that a life lived outdoors is a life well lived? I love that and I couldn’t agree more!
The Trailsmith Jacket is durable and features roomy cargo pockets to hold small items. REI designs their own line of award-winning clothing that is made to be worn outdoors, regardless of whether you’re an outdoor newbie or a seasoned expert.
I paired the Trailsmith Jacket with an army green tee, a pair of skinny blue jeans and some waterproof boots. I’m totally ready for an outdoor adventure. Also, I just wanted to add that the jacket feels so durable… love that!
Another bonus feature of this jacket is the side-seam zippers. Use them to increase the ventilation or loosen the fit.
Oh, and did you notice the bandana? That’s the Trailsmith Bandana and I think it adds so much pizzazz & color to the outfit!
For days that call for rain, I always turn to a hooded jacket. As a mom that’s always on the go, a hood just seems so much more practical than an umbrella. That’s why I’ve been loving my Anorak Jacket. It features a roomy hood, gorgeous peach color and a flattering, loose fit.
I paired the Anorak Jacket with some black jeans and it’s the perfect outfit for a spring hike or for simply taking care of errands around town.
Did you know that REI donates millions of dollars to support conservation efforts throughout the country? They also send teams of volunteers to build trails, clean up beaches and more. REI started as a small group of climbing buddies and is now the largest consumer cooperative!

I love both jackets! That peach color is so pretty! I really love that that REI gives back to the community through their support of conservation efforts.
Yess, I love it when companies give back to the community.
I might have to look into a membership. I really like your outfit. I like that anorak jacket as well. It does rain in Texas, so that would come in handy.
oh my gosh i LOVE REI so much! they are so great about giving back which is a huge reason why i love working with companies like that- that hoodie is adorable too- great color for spring
I’ve heard of them but had no idea you could be a member. I might need to get on that. I am spending more and more time out door something about walking and just being as one with nature has me feeling peaceful after stressful days
I just learned a couple years ago that they had a membership. They had a huge garage sale and I was going to buy something and they said it’s only for members. Is definitely interesting to see a store like that have a membership benefits.
Yes, it’s so worth it. One big purchase more than makes up the cost of membership!!
I’ve not heard of REI before, but what a great sounding memberships, with some absolutely beautiful looking locations. It sounds like a wonderful way to explore.
Getting out at least once a day is so important. If I had jackets like those I would be set for spring they look great on you.
Both jackets look really great and would be fun to wear for different occasions. The green jacket is my favorite.
Yes, between these two jackets, I’m set for spring!!
We are a REI member for years now we love to go on shopping there for our hiking stuff. We recently purchase a Yeti cooler as well that we can use for our long Jeep ride. I like the discount and the rebate as being a member.
OMGoodness! That lovely nectarine-colored jacket is so stylish and fun! I’d love to have one of my own. It’s perfect for travel, outdoor adventures, and any time the weather’s a bit chilly!
An REI just opened near us and I have been meaning to go. I need to get some gear for kayaking.
Yess, they have such a great selection!!
We don’t do a ton of activities outdoors, so I’m not sure we would benefit from this… but I do know so many people that would!
My husband has this and loves it. For all the same reasons as you!
Okay, that peach color on the second jacket is just perfect! I love the way it looks and it suits you so well!
I love spending time outdoors during the spring. Spring is our favorite time of the year. My kid loves it too. This outfit is so perfect for outdoor activity.
Yes, the kids want to spend all day outdoors during this time of year!!
I like that Anorak Jacket. The design is pretty as well as the color. I will have to get me one.
I love outdoors! Your outfit looks gorgeous, it’s perfect for you!
Thank you so much, Ruth! Appreciate it!
Both jackets look great on you and seem really functional. Good jackets are worth the investment because they will last a long time!
I love that coat. I think that nice side vent would make it so moveable.
I had no clue that they had a membership. All of their stuff is so very amazing!
