Winter is here, but thankfully, so is Cyber Week, which means you don't have to shell out a ton to find a great winter jacket. Whether you're in search of a reasonably-priced option as a gift for an outdoor lover or your current down jacket has lost more than a few feathers—REI’s latest Cyber Week deal is here to help. The retailer just dropped a sweet markdown on one of its top-rated down jackets—the Magma 850—and it's now under $150.

The REI Co-op Magma 850 Down Hoodie is on sale for $149, a 40% discount from its normal price of $249, but only until Dec. 9. This technical down jacket is a favorite among REI shoppers, who call it “warm and lightweight” and note its “excellent” fabric and “super soft” feel. It’s available in three colorways—all at the discounted price—and in sizes small to 3XL.

The Magma 850 Down Hoodie is the lightest, most performance-oriented down hoodie in the REI lineup. It’s crafted from a hardy 100% recycled nylon shell that’s coated with a DWR treatment, so light rain will bead up and roll off rather than soaking the jacket. Below that, it’s stuffed with 850-fill-power goose down insulation, which offers unbeatable warmth, low weight, and good packability (the jacket packs into its own pocket for storage). The down also has a DWR treatment to ward off moisture, so it’ll retain its heat-trapping power longer in damp conditions. The horizontal and angled baffle layout keeps the insulating down exactly where you need it—even the hood is filled with down, so your head stays warm, too. Elastic cuffs, a drawcord hem, and a draft tube at the neck seal out icy breezes, while the raglan sleeves and articulated elbows give you good freedom of movement for scrambling over rocks or skiing with poles. Finally, a zippered chest pocket and dual zippered hand pockets provide space to store your essentials.

There are truly so many exceptional features packed into this feather-light package, and if your head is spinning, take a tip from REI shoppers: It's just great. “It is very warm," a shopper said. "I can wear just a T-shirt under it, throw this on, zip it up and it does an excellent job of keeping me warm. Also, it packs down really well.”

One reviewer called it “amazingly light” and said it’s “extremely comfortable and surprisingly warm in snowy and windy conditions.” Another agreed, saying, “Jacket is super light, providing the warmth of a heavier jacket…Nice fit as well!”

With the Magma 850 Down Hoodie, you can skip the shivers this winter and enjoy all your outdoor activities—whether that’s hiking, camping, or just walking the dog—in perfect comfort. A quality down layer like this usually commands a premium price, which makes this sub-$150 deal (across multiple colorways and sizes, no less) too good to pass up. Toss one of these jackets in your cart today, because it’s sure to sell out fast even before the sale ends on Dec. 9.
