REI’s early Black Friday deals will save you up to 50% off North Face, Patagonia, Hoka and more

Wet weather ahead? Bring it on! This jacket has three layers to keep rain, snow and wind out, whether you’re shushing down the slopes or hitting the trails on foot.

“I live in Alaska, and good raingear is essentially not only for outdoor comfort but for survival (hypothermia),” wrote a five-star fan. “This is truly a “best in class” raincoat that gives you the perfect balance of lightweight, heavy construction, rain protection you can count on. I’ve been soaked in these, but never soaked through.”

If you have any outdoor adventures planned this winter, a high-quality flannel shirt is a must-have. This one from The North Face is made with organic cotton that’s not too heavy and not too light — perfect for cold mornings in the mountains.

“This is the most flattering flannel shirt I’ve ever found,” wrote a rave reviewer. “While most are boxy and masculine, the he dolman shaped shoulders and gathered detail in the back make this one very flattering. Very soft & well-made. I am normally really cheap, but this shirt is worth the price and feels like it will be wonderful for years to come.”

This is one of the absolutely wild deals on ski equipment — it’s not often Dynafits (or any other ski boots!) are tagged with such a deep discount.

“Decent performance with easy on and easy off,” wrote a happy skier. “The Hands-Free (HF) boots are the most comfortable boots I think I’ve ever had. Do you lose a little performance from this revolutionary rear-entry boot – yeah, but I’m 61 with a new hip and knee, so I look for comfort over performance any day. Yet they still allowed me to hit the moguls and do my tight short-swing turns. Highly recommend!”
