REI Co-op Active Pursuits T-shirt, from $26 (was $35)
Why do we like this deal?
Most conversations about men’s clothing today focus on hidden wealth and quiet luxury. Meanwhile, the REI Co-op line has gone a little more crafty with its Active Pursuits collection. This simple-looking hiking shirt, for example, is only $26 right now, but it includes a lot of technology that makes it great for hiking.
The REI Co-op Active Pursuits T-shirt is 25% off right now in its REI Blue Heather and Sunset colors, and it’s available in multiple sizes. If you’ve ever gone on a hike and the person next to you seems less sweaty, less irritable, and overall more comfortable, don’t immediately resort to better conditioning. It could have been as simple as wearing a shirt with many of the same qualities as this top-rated REI offering.

What shoppers need to know
- available sizes: Ranging from Small to 3XL, some taller sizes available
- Color Options: 2 on sale, 7 more at regular price
- Fabric Blend: UPF50+ blend of 92% polyester, 8% spandex
- Best use case: This shirt is ideal for hiking and its moisture-wicking nature makes it a great workout shirt too.
If you prioritize high comfort while hiking, you will appreciate this. Its stretch fabric is 8% spandex, which is more than Vuori’s Active Tech shirt, which costs almost twice as much, and allows you to move your arms as you stretch, balance yourself on angular paths, and prepare yourself for a steep slope.
And this light, fluid nature is going to continue throughout the day. Naturally moisture wicking and quick-drying surface keeps you away from wet afternoons. As a bonus, this is also a UPF 50+ sun shirt, meaning it will block 98% of the sun’s UV rays. That’s one less surface to apply sunscreen!

what shoppers are saying
How does it feel to wear it? One said that “the T-shirt feels soft, light, breathable and comfortable.”
Another review that really stuck out was from someone who mentioned getting compliments at the gym. “People aren’t used to seeing me wearing something that looks this good.” This shirt really withstands the pressures of the gym, so you don’t need to pack any dubiously chosen bad fit when you have this in your arsenal.
Incredibly, the REI Co-op Active Pursuits T-shirt is only $26 right now, and people are paying attention. With a week full of early Prime Day deals, it’s truly absurd how many people are buying this shirt, at over 1,300 already this week at the time of writing. Some of the taller sizes have already sold out, so make sure to purchase yours before it’s too late.
