If you’re planning to invest in a new outdoor jacket for the colder months, it’s worth doing your research and buying from a brand known for quality and performance. I say this from experience, because there’s nothing worse than getting caught in the cold and rain wearing the wrong layers.
The good news is that I’ve already done the research for you. REI’s early Black Friday sale is live right now, and there are some fantastic deals on top outdoor brands. I’ve hand-picked the jackets I’d buy myself. As someone who loves spending time outdoors in all weathers, I like to think I know a thing or two about what makes a good layer.
For example, the Patagonia Cord Fjord Down Coat in the perfect fall shade of brown is 30% off, saving you over $100. For my fellow runners, there’s also the Nike Repel UV Stride Jacket, a lightweight, rainproof layer that’s down from $125 to $86.
