Stock Up on Majorly Discounted Gear During REI's Sale

As we soak up the last days of August, we can't help but think about what winter jacket we're buying this season. Thanks to all the end-of-summer sales happening right now, it's a great time to stock up on cold-weather necessities, layering pieces, like quarter-zip sweaters or quilted jackets for a fraction of their original price.

One place you won't want to miss is REI's killer August sale, which features some best-selling pieces from the likes of Patagonia, Arc'teryx, The North Face, and Vuori. We've picked out some of the standout pieces from REI's current sale, but you should act fast. Stock is bound to sell out.

Patagonia is a tried-and-true stalwart of outerwear for a reason. The brand's fleeces, lightweight quilted jackets and raincoats are some of the best you can get, and you can score some of its best-selling offerings as part of the REI sale right now. Snag one of its signature Better Sweater Quarter-Zips or the Patagonia Nano Puff Jacket at a discounted price, and you'll hang onto them for years to come.

Arc'teryx is also one of the best of the best for cold weather, whether you're simply braving the winter to walk to work or hitting the slopes. What's fun about the Arc'teryx deals in the REI sale is that some of its most popular jackets are available at massive discounts—but mostly in bold, statement color ways. For example, you can snag the Beta Jacket or the Kyanite Lightweight Fleece Jacket on major discount right now.

When it comes to outwear, there's nothing more classic than The North Face. It's an all-weather brand that you can never go wrong with—and, thankfully, some of the brand's best-selling jackets, key layering pieces, and accessories are on sale right now at REI. Some of The North Face's most popular stuff is on sale in really cool colors, like its Alta Vista Rain Jacket, which you can snag in a not-too-bright shade of blue.

Vuori is one of the best-selling athleisure brands at the moment—and for good reason. Its relaxed, California-inspired clothes are quintessential everyday wear and work for everything from a sweaty run on the trail to a 10-hour TV marathon on the couch. It's known for its soft materials, and some of our favorite Vuori products—its joggers, long-sleeves, and t-shirts—are on sale in select colors on REI right now.
