REI Co-op Introduces the Campwell Collection

As we transition into fall with its shorter days and crisper air, REI Co-op is thrilled to announce the launch of its latest Campwell collection. This line of outdoor apparel is crafted not just for warmth, but for those quiet, intimate moments spent amid nature—whether you're strolling through town or sitting by a campfire. The Campwell collection blends modern comfort with outdoor-ready functionality, ensuring that everyone can fully embrace the joys of the season.

A Design Inspired by the Outdoors

The heart of the Campwell collection lies in its thoughtful design, bringing together classic outdoor fabrics and approachable silhouettes infused with rich seasonal colors. Isabelle Portilla, the vice president of REI Co-op Brands, articulated that this collection reflects the diverse lifestyle of their members: "Life outside doesn’t stop when the weather cools; it simply changes pace. These pieces are crafted to keep you comfortable during that transition, whether you're tackling a new trail or enjoying a cozy evening near the fire."

Versatile 17-Piece Collection

Comprising 17 versatile pieces, the Campwell collection features a range of items including durable fleeces, cozy flannels, workwear pants, comfortable sweaters, and weather-proof outerwear. These layers are designed for seamless movement between outdoor adventures and everyday life.

Outerwear for Any Weather

The standout items in the outerwear category include the Campwell Rain Jacket, which retails for $159 and offers breathable, waterproof protection along with a longer fit for added coverage. The Campwell Quilted Down Vest is available for $79.95, while the Campwell Quilted Down Jacket ranges from $99.95 for women to $119 for men, both offering a lightweight, water-repellent layer for unpredictable fall weather. For colder days, the Campwell Down Parka ($229) and Campwell Down Jacket ($179 for women) provide extra warmth with features like a sherpa-lined hood for women’s styles and an overstuffed collar on the down jacket.

Comfortable Tops

To complement the outerwear, the collection includes the Campwell Fleece, priced at $99.95 for women’s jackets and $89.95 for men’s and women’s pullovers, made of a durable, recycled fabric designed to endure wear. Additionally, the Campwell Flannel ($74.95) and the Campwell Sweater ($79.95) provide soft, cozy layering options, and the lightweight Campwell Henley (priced at $49.95) is perfect for effortless layering.

Functional Pants

Moreover, the Campwell Pants, priced at $79.95 for men and women, emphasize comfort with a relaxed fit and elastic waistband. For those needing a rugged option, the line features Men's Campwell Workwear Pants and Women's Campwell Workwear Overalls ($79.95 and $89.95, respectively), equipped with durable features like double-layer knees and tool pockets—ready for various outdoor activities.

The Introduction of Archive Colors

Another exciting aspect of the Campwell collection is the debut of REI's new Archive Colors. This nostalgic palette, inspired by nearly nine decades of outdoor design, includes colors like REI Green, REI Red, REI Blue, and REI Yellow. The color team at REI traced back through vintage gear and original dye recipes to revive iconic hues that represent the spirit of outdoor adventuring. Notably, REI Red made its first appearance in the collection, reminiscent of the vibrant red seen on numerous classic REI backpacks and jackets since the 1970s.

A Reflective Legacy

Ian Eburah, REI Co-op's creative director, stated, "The red is really special. It’s been with us for decades—bold and capturing in a very good way." The vibrant red pulls on the heartstrings of loyal REI customers, further establishing Campwell as a collection that brings warmth not only in material but also in nostalgia.
