Ski season is rapidly approaching, and REI is starting to tee up more deals on essential snow gear from top brands, like Smith goggles, Arc’teryx base layer hoodies, and even Burton snow pants. But one of the sharpest discounts right now is this killer deal on a Patagonia jacket that’s made for cold and windy days on the slopes—and it’s $200 off.
Patagonia’s Insulated Powder Town Jacket is on sale for just $199 at REI—an amazing 50% off the retail price of $399. This warm and breathable ski jacket has drummed up a solid four-star rating from satisfied shoppers who praise the jacket’s versatility, saying “this item does it all,” and that it’s “highly waterproof.” It’s available in one soft navy blue color at this price, but it’s a great hue for slaying powder this winter—and it’s available in all sizes, from small to 2XL. If you’d like to pair it with the corresponding Patagonia ski pants (though in black), REI also has them on sale for a solid 60% off in sizes small to XL.

Hitting the slopes requires a bunch of good ski or snowboard gear, and a great jacket like this one from Patagonia will keep you warm, regulating your body temperature while eliminating sogginess. That means you can stay on the ski hill for far longer and get in more runs without being cold and miserable. The jacket is built around a two-layer H2No weather-proof shell that protects from moisture while still being breathable. The insulation is recycled polyester that’s strategically layered to provide the most warmth with lower weight (just under 2 pounds), and the inner liner is a smooth taffeta that lets you layer up underneath it with ease. To top it all off, it’s constructed with an articulated fit for more freedom of movement and has five pockets to stash essentials. Pit zips and a powder skirt that attaches to the matching pants complete its ski bona fides.
Happy shoppers love that the jacket is up to the task of tackling the slopes. “The design is sharp and functional,” a shopper said. “it performs excellently, perfect for cold days with just a lightweight base layer underneath.” Another customer stated that “the fit, functionality, style, and comfort are all five-star,” and that it’s “comfortable without feeling bulky.”
The thoughtful touches are another point that satisfied shoppers loved. “Perfect for crushing big days on the mountain, especially when the pow starts getting deep,” a shopper said. “The attention to detail and thoughtfulness of the features make this jacket an absolute dream to ski in.” The all-around length was another high point of the design, and one customer noted, “With its length and internal waistband, it keeps the snow out of your core.”
A great ski jacket is something that you’ll appreciate most when conditions get dicey on the hill, and this jacket will keep you skiing longer and feeling comfortable, no matter the weather—short of an Arctic blast. And, at 50% off a premium quality Patagonia piece, it’s hard to pass this up if you’re a serious skier looking to upgrade your kit this year.
