Scoring Arc’teryx gear on the cheap is like searching for a needle in a haystack. The brand’s coveted apparel commands steep prices, and markdowns are rare. But if you’re in the market for some high-performance Arc’teryx outerwear, today is your lucky day: REI is having a massive sale on a whole roster of Arc’teryx apparel and gear right now.
Whatever holes you have in your jacket and outerwear lineup, this sale is a great way to fill them. Need a waterproof shell for an alpine camping trip? Check out the Beta SL jacket with reliable Gore-Tex waterproofing. Need a lightweight yet cozy jacket for chilly evenings around town? The Kyanite fleece, available both as a pullover hoodie and as a jacket, should definitely be on your shopping list. And that’s just a taste—after Men’s Journal looked through the deals on Arc’teryx gear at REI, we found four styles that are worth an immediate pick-up before they inevitably sell out.
Arc’teryx Thorium Down Hoody in Stratus, $401 (was $500) at REI
The Arc’teryx Thorium is far from your average down jacket. This cozy warm hoodie features 750-fill-power down insulation for reliable warmth in cold temperatures, but it also includes Coreloft synthetic insulation in high-moisture zones, so a little sweat won’t leave you freezing. The articulated design and lightweight nylon shell fabric give you great freedom of movement, and the shell has a DWR treatment to repel light precipitation. A bevy of pockets—five in all—give you lots of storage, making this jacket a great pick for backcountry adventures and everyday wear, too.
What Shoppers Are Saying: “Despite being so light, it packs a serious warmth punch. The high-quality down filling traps heat incredibly well, keeping me cozy even in near-freezing temperatures.”

Arc’teryx Beta SL Jacket in Vitality, $401 (was $500) at REI
The Beta SL is Arc’teryx’s take on a mountain jacket. Windproof, waterproof, lightweight, and packable, it checks all the boxes for protection in alpine environments. It features a Gore-Tex membrane in a 3L construction for rock-solid water- and windproofing, but it’s also highly breathable: Open up the pit zips to dump excess heat when you’re working hard. The hood is helmet-compatible, and the jacket even features a built-in RECCO reflector to help rescuers find you in an emergency.
What Shoppers Are Saying: “This is a great all-around waterproof, windproof, lightweight, comfortable, easy-to-pack shell. Seems like there are no sacrifices.”

Arc’teryx Kyanite Pullover Hoody in Black, $145 (was $180) at REI
Rock it on its own or layer it under a shell—either way, you’ll love the comfy feel and warmth of the Kyanite Pullover Hoody. This technical sweatshirt is built to move thanks to its Polartec four-way stretch fleece fabric, and the brushed nylon interior feels soft and comfortable against the skin. Unlike most other fleeces, this one includes a hood for extra warmth and protection on blustery days.
What Shoppers Are Saying: “It’s incredibly comfortable and warm.”

Arc’teryx Kyanite Jacket in Eden, $145 (was $180) at REI
Prefer a full-length zipper on your fleece? Head directly for the Kyanite Jacket, which offers the same plush feel, warmth, and stretchy construction as its hoodie sibling, but with an easy-to-wear zippered-front design. Better yet, it’s available in five colorways, including an eye-catching Eden green hue.
What Shoppers Are Saying: “Thin, warm, and super comfy. Well done Arc’teryx.”
