On March 2, 2018, REI announced it would no longer carry Vista Outdoor products, which include CamelBak, Giro, and Bell. This announcement was made not because of concerns over quality but rather due to a politically charged environment. Because Vista supports the NRA and is a manufacturer of firearms, liberal activists demanded REI drop it.



This is not the free market at play. When companies end relationships based on politics, they are engaging in behavior that directly harm you as a consumer. Furthermore, they are acting in a manner that seeks to silence speech with which it disagrees with. This is corporatism combined with the mob mentality.



Tell REI that you cannot in good conscience support a company that seeks to silence supporters of your constitutional rights. #AmericansBoycottREI
