IF YOU'RE AN avid outdoorsman, there are some decent Black Friday deals to be had—that is, if you know where to look. Brands like Patagonia and REI have for years now not participated in the shopping holiday,

There's a pretty widespread movement, especially among more environmentally focused companies, against Black Friday. I've written stories about the trend: Does Yeti do Black Friday? Does REI do Black Friday?

For skiiers, snowboarders, and dedicated snowman builders, Patagonia's classic snow pants are on sale at REI. Bonus: For Black Friday-Cyber Monday, REI members can save an additional 25% on these waterproof pants. Sure, they're going to outgrow it in about five minutes, but for those five minutes, they'll be almost too cute to bear.

Patagonia doesn't do a Cyber Monday sale, but the outdoor brand does have deals up to 50% off on past seasons of outdoor gear in its web specials section.
