Stock Up on Majorly Discounted Gear During REI’s Labor Day Sale

As we soak up the last days of August, we can't help but think about what winter jacket we're buying. Thanks to all the Labor Day sales happening right now, it's a great time to stock up on cold-weather necessities and layering pieces, like quarter-zip sweaters and quilted jackets, for a fraction of their original price.

One that you won't want to miss is REI's killer Labor Day sale, which features up to 30 percent off best-selling pieces from the likes of Patagonia, Arc'teryx, The North Face, and Vuori. We've picked some of the standout deals running now through the long weekend—but don't until Monday to make moves. Stock is bound to sell out.

Patagonia is a tried-and-true stalwart of outerwear for a reason. The brand's fleece, lightweight quilted jackets, and raincoats are among the best you can get, and you can score some of its best-selling offerings as part of REI's Labor Day sale. Snag one of its signature Better Sweater Quarter Zips at a discounted price and you'll hang onto it for years to come.

Arc'teryx is also one of the best of the best for cold weather, whether you're simply braving the winter to walk to work or hitting the slopes. What's fun about REI's Arc'teryx deals is that some of the brand's most popular jackets are available at massive discounts—but mostly in bold, statement colorways. For example, you can snag insulated vests and lightweight fleece jackets starting at under $100.

When it comes to outerwear, there's nothing more classic than The North Face. It's an all-weather brand you can never go wrong with—and, thankfully, some of the brand's best-selling jackets, layering pieces, backpacks, and accessories are included in REI's Labor Day deals. Some of The North Face's most popular stuff is marked down in really cool colors, like its Alta Vista Rain Jacket, which you can snag in a not-too-bright shade of blue.

Vuori is one of the best-selling athleisure brands at the moment—and for good reason. Its relaxed, California-inspired clothes are quintessential everyday wear and work for everything from a sweaty trail run to a ten-hour TV marathon on the couch. Some of our favorite Vuori products—think ultra-soft joggers, long-sleeves, and T-shirts—are on sale in select colors at REI this weekend.
