March has been host to several unexpected mega sales, including Amazon's first-ever Big Spring Sale and Huckberry's double discount sale. Now, it's Patagonia's turn, having just gone live with its March sale in time for spring with up to 50% off—or more, if you know where to look—some of its bestselling jackets, fleece, backpacks, and more with prices as low as $19.

A quick glance at Patagonia's men's sale section will reveal a plethora of men's shorts, including swim trunks, running shorts, and some built for the trail. Over 50 of Patagonia's iconic fleece jackets, vests, and sweaters can also be found on sale. Several Patagonia backpacks are also half off, along with other useful camping, running, and cycling gear. After Men's Journal had a chance to shop through the entirety of Patagonia's March sale, these are the four things we're trying to grab before they sell out. 

Patagonia Lightweight Synchilla Snap-T Fleece Pullover in Nickel/Passage Blue, $69, (was $139) at Patagonia

A perfect layer for spring, Patagonia's Lightweight Synchilla Snap-T Fleece Pullover is a simple sweater jacket that fits into any brisk-weather situation, be it a trip to Zion with your buddies or dropping the kids off at school in the morning. It's made with recycled polyester fleece and features a single chest snap pocket, elasticized bindings on the hem and cuffs, and a snap placket to vent heat as needed. It's available in sizes 2XS through 3XL and is on sale in eight exciting colors.

What Shoppers Are Saying: "I gifted two Synchillas to my sons. They love the color combinations and basically live in them. One went skiing for four days and used the Synchilla as his outer layer instead of a ski jacket for the whole trip."

Patagonia Hydropeak Boardshorts in Santa Cruz/Nouveau Green, $37, (was $75) at Patagonia

The next couple of months will be flush with new swim trunks for men, but Patagonia's March sale has them ripe for the picking for under $40. The brand's Hydropeak Boardshorts have the four-way stretch, quick-drying capabilities, and out-of-the-water versatility that most guys look for in hybrid pairs from Hurley, Rvca, and Billabong. There's also a stash pocket on the back. They're available in waist sizes 28 to 44 with options for an 18- or 21-inch outseam. Choose from over 10 colors on sale.

What Shoppers Are Saying: "These are probably my sixth or seventh pair of Patagonia board shorts, and they're probably the best pair I've ever owned. The fit is perfect, and I appreciate Patagonia offering some shorts that stop above the knees."

Patagonia Fieldsmith Lid Pack 28L in Pitch Blue, $54, (was $109) at Patagonia

Patagonia backpacks are well-known for being some of the toughest without sacrificing style, which is why they're used for anything from work and school to hiking and travel. The Fieldsmith Lid Pack hosts 28 liters of storage space in its main compartment with an additional sleeve for a 15-inch laptop and multiple front zip pockets. It's made from recycled polyester and has a durable water-repellent (DWR) coating on the outside so random spring showers won't be a concern. Choose from three sporty colors.

What Shoppers Are Saying: "I live in Seattle. I bought this pack to replace an older one. I love the ability to slip my laptop, lunch, and extra rain gear in my bag for work with the ability to fit a full pair of waders and backup layers when I take off to fly fish for the weekend. The material is durable and waterproof, protecting my gear in a variety of applications."

Patagonia Melton Wool Trucker Jacket in Ink Black, $214, (was $429) at Patagonia

The Melton Wool Trucker Jacket is one of the hardest products you'll find during Patagonia's March sale. This tank of a jacket is made from 100% recycled wool double weave, noting two separate layers that have been sewn together for extra durability and warmth. This jacket has two side hand pockets, two buttoned chest pockets, and a full button-up placket to go along with its pointed collar. It'll be a little warm for the spring/summer transition, but it's a statement-making piece for next fall that will last for years, eventually becoming a coveted heirloom. Find it in sizes XS through 2XL and in three great neutral colors.

What Shoppers Are Saying: "This jacket is one of my favorite Patagonia items to come out in recent years. The wool is super soft and thick, to the point that it's basically blanket-weight material. It could probably be worn with short sleeves for most because it's on the softer side, but it is nice that the neck and cuffs are lined for those sure skin contact areas. Fit is spot on, maybe even a little roomy."
