Why We Love This Deal
A long line of REI sales has come to a close now that the holiday season is over, but several REI Co-op classics remain on sale. This normally happens in January at the Co-op, as last year’s offerings are being discontinued to make space for spring styles. There's a hoodie we've noticed has been selling fast that's absolutely worth a look—it's 40% off, comes in four colors, and is down to a price that's hard to argue with.
The REI Co-op Trailmade Insulated Hoodie is now just $60 in all of its colors, but now is likely when sizes will start to fade, as is already happening with the black colorway. It's been a huge hit with REI shoppers—over 86% would recommend it.

What Shoppers Should Know
- Sizes Available: Small to 3XL, Tall available in some colors
- Color Options: Black, burgundy, teal, bright red
- Insulation: 80g synthetic
- Waterproof?: Yes—PFAS-free DWR coating
- Pockets: Zippered hand pockets
- Best Use Case: Cool to cold-weather hiking, everyday wear
The REI Co-op Trailmade Insulated Hoodie is a full-zip hoodie (in other words, like a zip-up jacket with a hood) that features a drawcord at the waist and elastic cuffs for warmth that stay locked in place. Its hand pockets can be used for warmth or zippered off to hold your phone or other essentials in an easy-to-reach spot.
The 80g polyester insulation is great for adding warmth to your colder day hikes, and the polyester exterior is also treated with a PFAS-free DWR coating to keep rain out. But it doesn’t have to stop there. This isn’t a super bulky insulation layer, so the hoodie is designed to fit under a rain shell. Overall, this gives you a lot of flexibility in what you want to wear out into the field.
Comparatively, the price won't get much better than this jacket. When you compare it to similar styles like Patagonia's Diamond Quilted Insulated Hoodie ($199) or something like Fjallraven's Keb Padded Insulated Hoodie ($250), which offer 80 and 60 grams of synthetic fill, respectively, the value isn't hard to see.

What Shoppers Are Saying
The hoodie is incredibly well-received by REI shoppers, earning over 50 5-star ratings from those who left feedback. As one shopper, who called it a “go-to” coat, said, it has a “great color and perfect weight for those chilly days, when you don’t need a heavy coat.”
One reviewer, who was lucky enough to receive a free review copy of the jacket, noted that it was a basic jacket but did everything it claimed to do quite well. To put it into perspective, they said, “I would say it’s about as warm as the Nano Puff.” So, if you’re looking for a no frills jacket that keeps you warm without stretching into high dollar territory, this is a good choice.
The REI Co-op Trailmade Insulated Hoodie is now $60 while supplies last, but that might not be for much longer.
