REI.com Coupons & Sales for May 2013

For REI members only, REI offers the newly-released Fitbit Flex Wireless Wristband in Black (pictured) or Slate for $99.95. Coupon code "ANNV13" drops it to $79.89. With free shipping, that's $20 off and the lowest total price we could find for this hard-to-find item. This wristband tracks steps taken, calories burned, sleep quality, and more. It also features a vibrating alarm, LED progress indicator, waterproof design, iPhone and Android app for synching, and more. Coupon expires May 27.

Note: This item is currently on backorder without an estimated ship date; however, it can still be ordered at this price.

REI-OUTLET cuts 30% to 50% off a selection of men's and women's sunglasses, with prices starting at $24.93. That's tied with last week's mention as the best sale we've seen on sunglasses from REI-OUTLET since October, when we saw 30% to 55% off a similar selection. Shipping starts at $5.99, but orders of $50 or more receive free shipping.

A best bet is the SunCloud Men's Nomad Polarized Sunglasses in Black/Grey (pictured) for $24.93 plus $5.99 for shipping. That's $25 off and the lowest total price we could find. They feature nylon frames, 100% UV protection, and more.

REI-OUTLET offers the Vibram Men's FiveFingers KSO Trek Multisport Shoes in Brown or Black for $30.83 plus $5.99 for shipping. (Free ship-to-store pickup is also available.) That's tied with last week's mention (which had fewer colors and sizes) and among the lowest total prices we've seen for these shoes. (It's also a price low for any pair of Vibram FiveFingers KSO men's shoes by $22.) They're available in sizes 42 to 46, although not in all size color combinations.

REI cuts up to 30% off a selection of camping items, men's and women's apparel, outdoor gear, and more during its Anniversary Sale, with prices starting at 69 cents.

Shipping costs $5.99, but orders over $50 receive free shipping. (Free in-store pickup is also available.) Sale ends May 27. Some best bets, with free shipping unless otherwise noted:
