REI just went live with a special Co-op sale that's giving its members additional discounts on certain items until Mar. 24, including those found in the outlet. Everything from hiking boots to camping gear can be had for extraordinarily low prices, but one of the best deals is on this packable jacket from The North Face, which is over $90 off for members right now.
The North Face’s ThermoBall Eco Insulated Jacket 2.0 is now on sale for $173, which is 24% off of the retail price of $230. However, REI Co-op members (we highly recommend signing up) can use a special code MEMBER2025 at checkout to receive an additional discount, bringing the deal up to 40% and the price of the jacket down to $138. Shoppers love this slim puffer, giving it an average of 4.7 stars after more than 1,000 ratings, and one went as far as calling it the brand's "best all-around jacket" for its “lightweight design” and “exceptional warmth.” All sizes are still available in black, but we've seen jackets from this brand sell out quickly when they go on sale.
The North Face ThermoBall Eco Insulated Jacket 2.0 in TNF Black, $138 (was $230) at REI
The North Face is the leader in making stylish puffer jackets that not only look good but perform well too. This jacket is no exception, with a cool quilted stitch pattern and slim cut. It has enough insulation to keep you warm even if you get into wet weather but without the bulk of those Michelin-man puffers of old. The durable shell, which is treated with a non-PFC water-repellent finish, is made from 100% post-consumer recycled nylon, and the lining is 100% recycled polyester. Welcome features include the zippered hand pockets, front zipper, and the ability to pack the jacket up into the chest pocket.
Happy customers appreciated the design of the jacket, with some calling it “super stylish and easy to pair with any outfit,” and “super warm without looking bulky—it's just perfect!” Another shopper agreed, saying that it is a “great purchase for someone that is looking for a sleek/slim look” and it works for “dressing up or down.”
Shoppers also said the jacket was perfect for traveling, as it packs up small. “It is very light and easy to carry and store when you are not using it,” said one. Another commented that it “can pack down quite small in your bags but provides a lot of warmth!”
There’s no need to get a big and bulky puffer jacket these days to keep warm—unless you are going on an Arctic expedition—and this The North Face jacket is a prime example. Slim-fitting, stylish, and still warm and durable, it’s the one to get when you need an all-around, three-season jacket you can pack anywhere. But add one to your cart soon since this smoking members-only deal won’t last long.
