I do all of my hiking in the Patagonia Nano Puff Jacket – and it’s now on sale for 50% off at REI this Black Friday

On By Littum

The best Black Friday REI deals reduce the price of popular winter clothing, like my favorite Patagonia jacket, the Nano Puff.

The The Patagonia Nano Puff Jacket is now only $118 at REI during the Black Friday sale. It is incredibly light. So light, in fact, that I can stash it in a day bag when I’m away hiking or in a small bag when I’m teaching outdoor fitness classes in the winter.

Most importantly, it’s weather resistant, so almost any outdoor trip I want to go on, whether it’s walking my dog, heading to Snowdon for a weekend or just getting outside to teach boot camps, I can trust on the Nano Puff getting me through unscathed.

For a limited time, you can take 50% off the jacket, starting at $239.

Sam is a personal trainer who specializes in outdoor boot camp group fitness classes and mobility sessions. When she’s not working out, she loves getting out into nature walking her Rottipoo Daisy, hiking, running and working out at her local CrossFit gym. Sam recently hiked Snowdon and also took a trip to the Swiss Alps with clothing brand Columbia in 2023.

When you go hiking or on an outdoor trip that requires kit, you learn pretty quickly when you’ve packed too much. Fortunately, a few pieces of well-chosen lightweight and insulated outerwear can be a lifesaver. The Patagonia Nano Puff is one of those pieces.

It’s so light and storable that it became my Snowdon item and has been my ever-faithful companion ever since.

Patagonia is a leading outdoor apparel brand, and as such, its reliable and extremely well-made clothing comes with a hefty price tag. That’s why Black Friday sales are a great opportunity to save some dollars. It’s a huge one 50% off at REI.

Unfortunately, I haven’t seen the women’s model go on sale yet, but there’s no reason you can’t pick up the men’s if you can find a size that fits. There is also a limit on the colors you can choose, but at 50% off I still think this is a steal. Plus, with colorways like “Subtidal Blue” and “Burnished Red,” who can resist a pop of color?

Of course, these Patagonia Nano Puff jackets sell super fast and are also quickly discontinued. I would make a quick move before the stock goes completely, which I expect will happen before the Black Friday sales even hit.
