Why We Love This Deal
If you’re familiar with outdoor gear at all, you’ll know that Arc’teryx is the real deal. And while the brand's prices are generally higher due to the research and care that go into designing its gear, we’ve found that REI occasionally showcases Arc’teryx discounts. That's what has been happening in the past month—everything from shell jackets to lighter fleeces has dropped in price. Today, it's the vest from Arc's Atom collection.
The Arc’teryx Atom Insulated Vest is on sale for $151, which is $49 off the original $200 price tag. This item boasts nearly 30 five-star ratings at REI. The only discounted color at the moment is Mars, which is a neutral shade of red. Sizes small to 2XL are still available, but they likely won't be the case for much longer.
