REI…only does outdoor things….walmart does too much to make great outdoor items. REI is more for the outdoor enthusiasts…Walmart for the occasional weekender that ventures outside. I would much rather be in a sleeping bag inside a tent in the rain…that were made by REI then by Walmart.

“ Does REI or Walmart sell a better outdoor gear? ”
Interesting question. I like REI for some things. I like Walmart for some things. REI has some nice, high-end gear. Walmart is perhaps best known for selling cheap goods.
For example, I recently bought a couple “Luci” brand solar powered camp lights from REI. I also recently bought a 4-pack of 1-pound Coleman propane cylinders from Walmart for $11.97. Cheapest price I could find for the propane cylinders was from Walmart.
Depending upon what I was seeking I might go to either store.

When shopping for outdoor gear, we all need to use our brains. REI has some awesome gear. But do you know what? Not all my gear needs to meet that standard. I´m not talking about tents, sleeping bags, or backpacks. l´m definitely not talking about hiking boots. Let me give you one example: Cookware.
Go to REI and scan the wide assortment. There are sets priced as low as $15 and as high as well over $300.
Walmart has the Ozark Trail 10 piece cook and dine set for $14.88.
REI has the Stanley 3 Piece Cookware for $14.97
Number of pieces:
* Ozark Trail-10 piece se(4 bowls, 2 lids, 2 foons, pot, bag)
* REI/Stanley-3 piece set(Pot, 2 cups)
Weight:
* Ozark Trail-Total 10 piece set-25 oz.
* REI/Stanley-Total 3 piece set-13.8 oz.
My point …

Define better. Better no matter the cost..probably REI. Good enough to do the job while still being economical..then probably Walmart.

If you’re looking for some high quality outdoor gear that’ll last a long time then REI is the way to go. If you don’t go hiking/camping that often and just need gear for 1 or 2 uses then go to Walmart. They’re very cheap with all of their outdoor gear.

Try Dick’s Sporting Goods. Better than Walmart or REI. But don’t plan on buying a rifle or ammo there. They will throw you out of the store.

I’ve bought a lot of camping gear from REI over the last 40 years. They sell quality products. Walmart camping gear is low end. If you buy quality camping gear, it will last you many years.

REI without a doubt is better,
Walmart sells low quality goods from China.
I have bought allot of camping equipment from REI and would never consider any of the junk at Walmart.
Let the buyer beware you get what you pay for.

REI has nice stuff but you pay a premium for it. So for most camping items check at Walmart or Academy Sports first. Coleman or Ozark Trail products are tried and tested and been around for years, and most things last fine given you don’t use most camping stuff more than a few times a year. We still use our coleman sleeping bags we got in the mid 1980s. Still look and work great, and same with our camp stove and lantern we bought in ‘84. Dollar Tree is a great place to get a lot of handy items for camping and cheaper of course. There are YouTube videos on products to make camping easier you can get from Dollar Tree.
