The day has finally come: it’s Black Friday. We’re busy finding the best Black Friday deals, but I decided to try something different. I’m a little tired of scrolling through Amazon, so I decided to check out REI’s winter deals. REI’s range of outdoor clothing is much better than Amazon’s, and that’s what I’ve found loads of unmissable offers.

You can grab this Columbia Drop Ridge II Interchange 3-in-1 Jacketwhich has a fleece lining and a waterproof exterior, currently for almost $100 off.

If you’re lucky enough to live in a place like the Rocky Mountains, you’ll probably be doing a lot of skiing or snowboarding this winter. You might want to check this out Patagonia Storm Shift ski pants I found a half discount at REI.

Let me walk you through the best winter gear I’ve found. From Patagonia to Columbia, from premium label Arc’teryx to legendary ski brand Obermeyer, I’ve found some great deals—some saving you $210.

Erin is an avid hiker, even in the winter months. She hiked through South Korea’s Naejangsan and Byeonsanbando National Parks in the chilly fall and winter, kept warm by her Patagonia Glacier Parka. Her highest peak to date is Mount Fuji in July 2023, which she climbed wearing her Patagonia Torrentshell Jacket and Merrell Moab hiking boots.
