The best Black Friday REI deals slash the cost of popular winter clothing, like my favorite Patagonia jacket, the Nano Puff.

The Patagonia Nano Puff Jacket is now just $118 at REI during the Black Friday sale. It’s incredibly light. So light that I can store it in a day bag when I’m hiking, or in a small bag when I teach outdoor fitness classes in the winter.

Most importantly, it’s weatherproof, so on virtually any outdoor trip I want to take, whether that’s walking my dog, going to Snowdon for a weekend or just heading out to teach a boot camp class, I can trust the Nano Puff to keep it safe. gets. me through it unscathed.

For a limited time, you can get 50% off the jacket, down from $239.

Sam hopes

Sam is a personal trainer who specializes in outdoor boot camp group fitness classes and mobility sessions. When she’s not coaching, she enjoys getting out into nature for dog walks with her Rottipoo Daisy, hiking, running, and training at her local CrossFit gym. Sam recently hiked Snowdon and also took a trip to the Swiss Alps in 2023 with clothing brand Columbia.

If you’re going hiking or on an outdoor trip that requires gear, you’ll learn pretty quickly if you overpack. Fortunately, a few well-chosen, lightweight and insulated outerwear can be a savior. The Patagonia Nano Puff is one of these pieces.

It is so light and packable that it has become my Snowdon staple and has since made countless journeys with me, remaining my ever-faithful companion each time.

Patagonia is a leading brand for outdoor clothing, which is why its reliable and extremely well-made clothing comes with a hefty price tag. That’s why Black Friday sales are a fantastic opportunity to save some dollars. It’s a whopping 50% discount at REI.

Sadly, I haven’t seen the women’s model on sale yet, but there’s no reason why you can’t pick up the men’s model if you can find a size that fits. There is also a limitation to the colors you can choose, but at 50% off I still think this is a bargain. Besides, who can resist a splash of color with colorways like ‘Subtidal Blue’ and ‘Burnished Red’?

Of course, these Patagonia Nano Puff jackets are selling super fast and are also being discontinued quickly. I would act quickly before the stock runs out completely, which I expect will happen before Black Friday sales even hit.
