When winter brings its worst, are you left shivering? If your answer is yes, it’s time to reassess your jacket lineup. Fortunately, brands across the outerwear spectrum are throwing down major discounts on jackets to make room for spring gear, including discounts on the Patagonia Downdrift, Flint and Tinder waxed jackets, and more. You can even score a deal on a coveted down layer from Arc’teryx—the rarely discounted Cerium Down Jacket is $75 off right now.
The Arc’teryx Cerium Down Jacket is on sale for $305, a 19% discount from its normal price of $380. This high-performance down layer offers serious warmth and weather protection, and it’s a top-rated favorite among REI shoppers. It’s available in two colorways (a cool muted grey and a light beige) at the discounted price, and you can get it in sizes XS up to 2XL. As is typically the case when Arc’teryx pieces go on sale, it’s best to pick up your size as soon as you see it, because when you check back, there’s a good chance it won’t be available anymore.

Need a warm jacket that can keep up with you during high-intensity activities? You’ve found it. The Cerium is made from a recycled dope-dyed nylon Arato fabric that’s lightweight yet durable, and it’s treated with a DWR finish to repel light precipitation that both keeps you dry and preserves the insulating power of the down. Inside, it’s stuffed with 850-fill-power, RDS-certified down for reliable warmth, and it’s paired with Coreloft synthetic insulation in places that often see moisture buildup, so there’s no loss of insulation if you sweat, for example. The baffles are patterned to promote freedom of movement, so this jacket won’t restrict you when you’re running, skiing, or hiking, and the drop hem offers extra coverage at the back (it also includes an adjustable drawcord). It’s also highly portable: It packs down neatly into a stuff sack for storage.
Arc’teryx products often win raves from reviewers, but the Cerium is a true standout for its warmth and versatility. “It keeps me perfectly warm,” said one shopper. “Super lightweight and packable too, which is a huge plus for traveling or layering on the go!”

Another shopper agreed, praising its “excellent warmth to weight ratio.” “Hands down the warmest jacket I have ever owned,” they added. “Great for winter conditions.”
The Arc’teryx Cerium Down Jacket will help you stay one step ahead of cold weather this season. Unlike typical down layers, it includes helpful features—like added weatherproof synthetic insulation and a movement-friendly fit—that make it really comfortable and reliably warm, even when you’re exercising in dicey weather. Arc’teryx outerwear rarely sees major discounts, so don’t wait around—grab this jacket before your size inevitably sells out.
