It turns out that I had been completely unprepared for frigid temperatures and snowy days, even though I thought I was ready for them. Recently, cold fronts have hit large parts of the country, and ever since 2025 began, I’ve been below freezing. Fortunately, REI is currently offering huge discounts on a wide range of winter supplies, including items from well-known brands like Helly Hansen, Columbia, and The North Face.
Additionally, REI’s is offering up to 50% off on a variety of base layers, jackets, and helmets throughout the sale. Keep in mind that availability may vary during the sale, and not all hues and sizes of certain products are discounted.

The North Face Women s Denali Jacket
The North Face Women s Denali Jacket
Since middle school, this jacket has been a mainstay in my wardrobe. It looks and feels exactly like it did when I initially purchased it years ago, and despite my frequent washings and wearings, the fleece material never bunches up or pills. I don’t need to carry a bag because it has so many large, zipped pockets to hold my phone, wallet, and other essentials.
The North Face Men s Evolution Crew Sweatshirt
