A good backpack or bag can make a surprisingly huge difference in your quality of life. It’s true whether you’re planning some upcoming holiday travel or getting ready to do some outdoor adventuring. Right now, REI has some of our favorite backpacks, hiking packs, and travel bags for their lowest prices of the year during its last-minute holiday sale. Most of these will still arrive by the holiday if you order soon, so grab one, stuff it full of mini candy canes, and make everyone else’s gifts look downright silly.

Note: Prices and inventory can change fast on closeouts. If a pack fits your use, snag it.

Editor’s Picks

Osprey Transporter Roll-Top Pack — $102.73 (38% off)

See It

This is a single bag that can handle pretty much any situation. The roll-top design lets you expand or compress the main compartment on the fly, while the tough, weather-resistant build helps keep your everyday carry protected when conditions turn. At 38% off, it’s a rare chance to grab an Osprey workhorse for right around $100.

MYSTERY RANCH 2-Day EDC Pack — $139.73 (26% off)

See It

A rugged two-day workhorse that’s built for commuting, travel, and “I might end up on a trail” weekends—without feeling flimsy when you stuff it full of tech, layers, and snacks.

REI Co-op Trail 40 Pack – Men’s — $104.29 (30% off)

See It

A value-oriented 40L bag that hits a sweet spot for day-long hikes, light overnights, and carry-on-friendly trips. The understated design is also great for people who don’t want an overly outdoorsy look.

Osprey UNLTD Antigravity 64 Pack – Women’s — $453.73 (35% off)

See It

Osprey’s UNLTD line is overkill in the best way. It offers premium suspension, robust load control, and (most importantly) a supremely comfortable fit.
