Why We Love This Deal
From now through April 27 at REI, the retailer is hosting its Spend More, Save More sale that’ll earn you up to an extra 30% off when you spend $250 or more on REI Outlet gear. The savings extravaganza features major brands like Osprey, Big Agnes, and even some Arc’teryx gear, including this pair of high-end hiking pants for a rare 40% off.
The Arc’teryx Gamma Pants are on sale for $120, which is $80 off the original $200 price tag. These premium hiking pants were originally $160, but because they're over $150, you’ll score an extra 25% off during this limited-time sale. They come in one color, Nightscape, and, amazingly, all sizes from 28 to 38, including shorts and talls, are in stock.

It’s not every day you find something from Arc’teryx for 40% off and under $200, as the brand is known for being one of the most luxurious in the outdoor sporting world. That becomes apparent in the quality of their clothing. These pants, for example, were meticulously crafted to be lightweight yet durable with a soft-shell fabric that's breathable and still protective from light rain (but not as much from heavy moisture).
You get a zippered thigh pocket, a metal buckle, and a low-profile waist, all of which will accommodate heavy harnesses when climbing. But if you’re like me and prefer to hike in the mountains rather than scale them, these pants are also great. They completely cover your legs to protect you from the harsh sun or pesky ticks and can be pulled tight to seal out any potential cold.
In terms of price, this is about as low as you'll find when it comes to a Gamma Pant. Arc'teryx markdowns above 40%, let alone 30%, are rare.

What Hikers Are Saying
Interestingly, more Gamma Pants are listed at full price on a separate page at REI, and a lot is being said about them. "Best I’ve worn in the field," one avid hiker said. "These pants deliver on every front. The fabric is tough yet flexible, offering great freedom of movement for climbing, trekking, or kneeling down without any restriction."
This same hiker added that they're "impressively weather-resistant," noting that light rain "just rolls off."
The Arc’teryx Gamma Pants is 40% off now through April 27. Enjoy the limited-time savings ASAP before sizes start to sell out.
