Opt Outside

#optoutside

At REI Co-op, our roots have always been firmly planted in the outdoors—from the gear we sell, to the conservation efforts we support, to the initiatives we drive.

#OptOutside invites the world to get outside and play. Not just one particular day, but every day in some small way. Together, we can rethink the routines that keep our minds and bodies idle and reap the benefits of going outside.
