Jacket Deals

After the holidays, reviewer Scott Gilbertson will be writing his ode to waxed canvas, OG’s weatherproof material. In the meantime, we have his choice the most masculine jacketwhich is the wax trucker you can see on Pedro Pascal The last of us. It’s the only jacket that will repel zombie blood from your flannel or hoodie as you fight to save the ones you love.— Adrienne So

This is our favorite everyday rain jacket. The exterior is made from 100% rubberized PVC, along with a cotton and polyester lining for comfort. It has double-welded seams to prevent water seepage, the hood is large enough for a large hat or baseball cap and roomy enough to fit a vest underneath. We recommend it to those who live in rainy climates and dread having to re-waterproof their rain jackets every season.

This is VIRED editor Adrienne So’s favorite rain jacket. Although it has a water resistance rating of 10.2K, the fabric is still stretchy, soft and breathable, while the fit is neat and tidy. VIRED editor Adrienne So says she wore it for a few hours while running in the rain, and the water kept getting on the service without getting uncomfortably sticky underneath. If you get hot, you can also open the mesh pockets to vent it. We also like that it comes in bright colors (for high visibility) and has reflective details.

If you enjoy hiking, look no further than the Arc’terik Beta Jacket. Not only is it lighter and thinner, but it’s also equipped with a new PFAS-free Gore-Tek expanded polyethylene (ePE) membrane that protects against wind and rain while allowing sweat vapor to escape. In addition to the ePE membrane, there is a soft backing, recycled nylon face fabric and a C0 DVR coating (which refers to the complete absence of harmful fluorocarbons. Arc’terik currently holds 30 percent discount sell on their website.

We don’t suggest the Teca Fleece for sub-zero temperatures, but it will be fine if you live in an area where you can get away with skipping a puffer coat. It is thin and breathable, but still leaves room for additional layers. Meanwhile, the flexible material won’t make you feel constricted. The color blocking design also adds a nice, retro touch.

This is a great mid-weight jacket that you can layer under a rain jacket or over a tank top. Made from 100 percent merino woolit is thick but also soft. It will easily help you stay warm when the temperature drops during the upcoming winter season. It also looks super stylish and comes in some nice colors. Be sure to use the code “ADVENTURE ON” to see the discount at checkout.

Shirt Deals

This hoodie has a sporty look but isn’t so tight that you can’t layer underneath it. In addition to the hood, it also has thumb loops and a high neck with a zipper. Although it’s best for winter, it’s also ideal for other activities like riding a bike or working in the yard when it’s a little colder outside. Be sure to use the code “ADVENTURE ON” to see the discount at checkout.

I run miles every day to get away from my family (haha, just kidding, I love you!) and I realize I need more merino wool base layers if I don’t want to wash every day. This is our favorite base layer, with tight seams that won’t chafe if you’re wearing it under a bra. I layer this under the running jacket above on sub 30 degree days.

I can see I’m being a bit manly here (we’ll let my spouse deal with this later). But the outdoor workwear company Filson also holds big black friday sale. Although the company is known for its wax jackets, we like it too practically indestructible hoodiewhich is currently 40 percent off. Reviewer Chris Haslam says his 2017 model has survived countless camping and fishing trips without wear and tear while staying true to form.

If this sweatshirt it looks strangely familiar to you, probably because you’ve seen it everywhere The TikTok page for you. Both the body and ribs are over 70 percent cotton, so it’s more breathable than polyester sweatshirts. But the highlight here is the tailoring, which features an exaggerated neckline, huge sleeves and a unique diving hood that’s big enough to swallow your whole head and zip up your face.

We recommend this hoodie for those who want an oversized structure. The Popfleck Cloud has a nice weight to it, but, as VIRED reviewer Nena Farrell says, “it doesn’t [her] look like a marshmallow looking for a campfire.” The waist is cinched in nicely, while the dropped shoulders and large hood drape over your body but still maintain shape and structure. It looks good with leggings, well-fitting jeans and comes in a bunch of great colors.

Pant Deals

These are our pants for those who are constantly cold. They’re great for a variety of cold weather activities, but the soft, relaxed fit still looks fashionable. They’re made from recycled polyester, insulated with Primaloft, come with an elasticated waist and have cuffs at the bottom of the legs in case they’re too long on you. For a complete look, you can pair it with matching Sequin pullover— also on sale for $142 ($47 off).

Outdoor activewear company Prana is currently making a big splash Black Friday Saleand I’m thinking of buying another pair of these leggings (both reviewer Nena Farrell and I own these and they’re in our Gifts for mom guide). I don’t have the patience or mental stability for yoga, but I wear them to lower my reps in the gym (I do 25lb one-arm dips and cry afterwards). It’s hard to explain how soft and snug these leggings are – it’s almost like you’re wearing nothing.— Adrienne So

They are titled “The Perfect Pants” in our guide to The best climbing equipment. They’re made from 100 percent organic cotton, so they’re very durable and feel super comfortable thanks to the elasticated waist and diamond-shaped crotch inserts. Pro tip: The women’s and men’s versions are basically the same, so if you’re a woman, buy the men’s pants a size down.— Adrienne So

Offer of underwear and shoes

This is the best bra in our guide to merino wooland i love it enough I raved about it. Branwyn is currently 25 percent off sitewide. It makes no sense to go all organic for your sweaters, jeans, and jackets while keeping potentially toxic dyes or materials on the garments closest to your skin. They’re sturdy enough to work as a swimsuit on a hike or camping trip when I just have to take a dip in the water (sometimes by accident).

Roti has it all 30 percent discountand the company also maintains sales on Amazon. Rothis shoes are quite unique – they are knitted from recycled plastic water bottles. Not only do they keep plastic out of landfills, but the shoes themselves are durable and washable. The company also has a recycling program so you can turn in your worn out shoes and get a new pair. Reviewed by Julian Chokkattu loves them! They are very comfortable!– Adrienne So

Shoes for bare feet are very good for you, and you readers seem to agree. I’m having a hard time accepting this reality because it’s very cold outside right now and many barefoot shoes are shockingly ugly. These Lems boots, however, are waterproof, well made and don’t scream openly“I am replacing my blood with the blood of my 18-year-old son.” (Sorry. Just kidding. Or was I?) We love it too Xero shoeswhich are currently 10-50 percent cheaper across the entire location.– Adrienne So

These are the best hiking boots I have ever tested. They are so light and comfortable that I wear them as everyday shoes in winter. Zamberlan has a very specific proprietary last that fits my narrow feet and ankles even better than heat-molded boots, and the company claims its waterproofing lasts a lifetime. My boots haven’t reached the end of their life yet, but I intend to jump around the river all winter in the rain, just to find out.— Adrienne So

Other clothing offers

Here are a few more deals we just couldn’t pass up.

We have an upcoming guide to the best running shoes coming out after this holiday, but these shoes are in it. I like the Altra for the wide toe box, which allows my foot to spread out, and the zero drop from heel to toe, which means my Achilles tendon flexes properly and I don’t develop tendinitis during long runs. This is a versatile road-to-trail option from the company that I can wear to hit the trails, run in the woods, and then back home again.– Adrienne So

This is yet another hoodie in our guide to The best hoodies. This is an all-cotton hoodie with a much looser weave than some of our other picks.

The attitude is maintained 30 percent discount on the entire site with the code CYBERWEEK. My goal is to only wash twice a week during the winter, which is why I’m thinking of getting another pack of performance socks. They are lightweight nylon and hold their shape very well, they wick sweat well and they don’t wrinkle in my shoe.– Adrienne So
