Why We Love This Deal
Lately, I’ve been digging through Columbia’s annual Winter sale, which runs through Mar. 26, because the brand has been offering some great deals on its core lineup. While it seems like a lot of attention has been geared toward heavy hitters like the fur-lined Barlow parka and Alpine ski jacket, there's also a must-see sale on the bestselling Steens Mountain 2.0 fleece jackets. Right now, they’re as low as $33.
The Steens Mountain 2.0 Fleece Jackets are now selling for up to 49% off. It's a layer you can grab without thinking twice and wear in virtually any weather, thanks to its lightweight build that delivers plenty of warmth and exceptional comfort. Six colors are marked at $33, and eight others are listed at $45.

This is your basic, bare-bones fleece that’s straightforward in its simple design, while still delivering enough lightweight warmth to wear all through fall and to layer easily now during the bitter winter (and then in the spring, once things start to come back to life).
Its durable fleece is super soft and comfy, and it comes with some nice-to-haves, like zippered hand pockets and a drawcord hem, which some jackets miss out on completely. It’s a classic fit that wears well and is easily layerable, whether under a jacket or with a T-shirt.
At $33, and based on my research, this jacket is in line with other affordable basic fleece jackets on the market, including the Amazon Essentials model and REI’s Trailmade fleece, both offered at $30 each on sale. In the Steens Mountain 2.0, you get a more reputable brand that’s built its legacy on jackets just like this one.
What is also interesting is that Columbia’s current sale price is arguably the best available online. Amazon also sells the Steens, though they will vary by color and size, while REI is selling this exact color fleece for $40 on sale.

What Wearers Are Saying
This jacket has around 3,800 five-star ratings on Columbia’s site (43,300 five-star ratings on Amazon), so it’s a pretty safe bet for a fleece if you've never owned one before. One shopper highlighted that this “incredibly soft” lightweight fleece “truly warms both the body and the soul.” It’s a solid “well-made” jacket that’s insanely “cozy,” they said.
Another said it’s “so versatile, I own three,” realizing they were wearing it more than their other sweatshirts. They also loved that it is perfect for traveling, especially if you’re limited in luggage space.
For just over $30 a piece, you’ll want to snag at least one of these Steens Mountain 2.0 fleeces. While there is still time in this sale, sizes may not last (some are already running low). Grab your favorite colors soon.
