Why It's a Big Deal
REI just cracked open its Spend More, Save More sale event in its Outlet section. The sale, which runs through April 27, gives shoppers up to an extra 30% off, depending on the total amount of REI Outlet gear in your cart. There are a ton of hiking shoes and past-season jackets available at crazy discounts, but what's firmly on our radar is the 65% off deal on Big Agnes' Wyoming Trail 2 Tent.
The Big Agnes Wyoming Trail 2 tent is on sale for only $227 right now. How? Because the tent's markdown price exceeds $250, it gets the additional 30% off, dropping the price you pay down to this sub-$250 rate.
The price is low, yes, but the tent itself is worth the full price: It features a large covered vestibule that REI shoppers say is a "game changer" for storing gear, changing clothes, or using as a daytime refuge from sun and rain when bikepacking, car camping, and motorcycle camping.

At face value, the Wyoming Trail 2 is a two-person tent with a large vestibule attached to one side. The sleeping area features two exits, one to the exterior and one that opens into the vestibule, which includes two large awning doors. Fly vents in the sleeping area help air circulate, and all of the tent’s doors have dual zippers for easy opening and closing.
Two mesh ceiling pockets and four corner pockets provide convenient places to stash small items while you snooze. A rain fly is included, and all of the tent’s seams are taped to keep water from leaking inside.
Finally, this tent was designed for convenient storage: The stuff sack has daisy chain webbing for strapping down to a bike, and it can be separated from the pole sack to equalize the weight on either side of a bike or motorcycle.
The last thing to note is that this tent is listed on two REI pages for some reason. The one featured in this story is listed in the REI Outlet, whereas the other is not. Make sure to select the Outlet tent, or else the discount won't work.
