Why We Love This Deal
Duer is one of the fastest-rising denim brands in the country, despite its Canadian roots. The brand has developed a reputation for comfort, largely due to its immensely comfortable gusseted jeans that give guys what they want—an extended range of motion. If you want to experience this for yourself, there’s no better way than with this rare deal at REI that will save you over $30 on a pair.
The Duer Performance Denim+ Straight Pants are marked down to $95 at REI right now, a 26% discount off the normal $129 price. This is a big deal for two reasons: Duer jeans rarely see any kind of price break, and when they do, either most sizes are already gone, or they sell out in the first few days. Though inventory seems to be good at REI, some sizes have already sold out, so don’t wait too long to get a pair.

What Shoppers Should Know
- Sizes Available: From 30 to 40 inch waist; 30 or 32 inch inseam.
- Fit: Straight
- Color Options: This deal is only available in the dark blue “Inkstone” denim.
- Fabric: 76% cotton, 22% Sorbtek True Temp 365 polyester, 2% elastane
- Notable Features: Gusset, triple-stitched seams, rear security pockets, antimicrobial treatment
One of the key takeaways here is the name “Performance Denim+” and, with a brand such as Duer that prioritizes dexterity via a gusset, the fact that the fabric is mostly cotton with a pinch of elastance comes as no great surprise. However, about a fifth of the pants’ fabric comes from True Temp 365, a moisture-wicking fabric that keeps you cool in warm climates and insulated in colder climates.
This all contributes to the soft and cozy feeling for relaxed moments, but also the superior flexibility and triple-stitched seams for rough and tumble moments. Travelers and backpackers will appreciate the rear security pockets that help hold things where they should be. And, the fabric has an antimicrobial treatment to assist with long-term, lived-in wear.
The Performance Denim+ Straight comes in waist sizes 30 to 40 with a 30- or 32-inch inseam. This deal is only available in the dark blue Inkstone color, which will hide small stains from lengthy periods of wear without washing. Pair these pants with a rugged smartwatch, roughed up boots, and a purposeful determination to say “Yes” to whatever adventures await.

What Shoppers Are Saying
Considering most are way more likely to go to a place like Nordstrom Rack than REI when looking for a pair of jeans, it’s quite telling that these jeans have been able to assemble so many reviews. It’s even more telling that the Duer pants are recommended by 96% of reviewers.
For many, it has nothing to do with the triple-stitched seams or intricate knowledge of gussets. Instead, we largely see reviews that say the material “Fits just right in all places, touch to skin is very comfortable.”
Though those who did comment on the active side of the jeans caught on quickly to their versatile nature. One reviewer called them “perfect for days when you are switching between lounging around and doing activities.”
The Duer Performance Denim+ Straight Pants have a rare discount going on right now that brings their price down to just $95. If your size is still in stock, this is an excellent time to grab a pair.
