Why We Love This Deal
Finding Arc’teryx footwear on sale is even rarer than scoring the brand’s coveted outerwear with a discount, but if you’re in the market for a pair of weatherproof boots, today’s your lucky day. Right now, REI is selling a pair of Arc’teryx hiking boots for $60 off—a better deal than anywhere else online.
The Arc'teryx Kopec Mid GTX Hiking Boots are on sale for $140, a 30% discount from their normal price of $200, and a better price than both Zappos and Arc’teryx are offering. These boots are available in two colorways at that price, though the Black/Nightscape option has the best sizing.

What Shoppers Should Know
- Colorways Available: 2 on sale, 4 full price
- Sizes Available: 8-13
- Upper: 100% nylon Cordura
- Waterproofing: Gore-Tex membrane
- Midsole: EVA
Tough, protective, and grippy, the Kopec Mid GTX will be a reliable companion for off-pavement treks and serious backcountry hikes. These boots feature a notably sleek upper design, but it’s not just an aesthetic ploy: They’re made from ultra-durable 100% nylon Cordura fabric, which gives them superior abrasion resistance, and the mesh structure breathes well, too. In addition, a TPU overlay across the toe provides extra protection from rocks and brush. That upper is paired with a Gore-Tex membrane to block moisture, and padding around the ankle collar creates a snug fit.
It's not all tech and materials here, though—comfort is also everywhere to be found. There's a notably wide toe box on this boot that'll give your toes plenty of room to spread out and swell into. The midsole is made from dual-density EVA foams with a TPU shank to cushion your landings and support your foot, and on the bottom, the Kopec rides on a lugged Vibram outsole. Vibram rubber sets the standard for grip in the hiking world, and according to shoppers, these boots deliver a lockdown feel, even on loose, sketchy terrain.

What Shoppers Are Saying
In REI’s reviews section, shoppers pointed out several highlights on the Kopec Mid. Multiple reviewers praised the boot’s “great traction,” including one who wore them while summiting Mt. Whitney. Several others appreciated the Kopec Mid’s wide toe box, which gives your foot room to splay for a comfortable feel and extra stability.
And many shoppers loved the boot’s protection and low weight: One called the Kopec Mid “waterproof, comfortable, and light.” From dayhikes to more technical backcountry adventures, this is a shoe you can trust. It’s “guaranteed to carry you through any adventure,” as one shopper put it.
If you know Arc’teryx, you know the brand’s gear sells out lightning fast, especially when it’s on sale. The Kopec Mid is already nearly sold out in one 30% off colorway, and the other is sure to follow—grab yours ASAP if you want a pair.
