Why We Love This Deal
Some brands just don’t have sales that often, so when they do, it's usually worth pouncing on. Arc’teryx is one such company. Though primarily known for its technical outerwear—the kinds of things you’d pack for your next mountainside vacation—Arc’teryx also produces high-performance activewear that shoppers have come to love, and one of its lightweight fleece running and hiking shirts just got a massive price cut at REI.
The Arc’teryx Delta Half-Zip Pullover is on sale for $126 right now, a rare 30% off its normal price of $180. It's one of a handful of the brand's styles that just went on sale at REI that, in our experience, are likely to sell out fast. This one is still available in sizes XS to 2XL in two colors, a muted green and a vibrant orange.

What Shoppers Should Know
- Style: Half-zip fleece jacket
- Fabric: Octa polyester fleece, 40-denier Delta face, Polygiene, 122 g/m2
- Weight: 7.2 ounces (lightweight)
- Warmth: 4 out of 10
- Special Features: Flatlock seams, elastic binding, chest pocket, elasticized hem and cuffs
- Best For: Hiking, running, gym sessions, and layering under larger jackets
Arc'teryx's Delta Half-Zip is made with Octa polyester fleece, which provides a unique combination of body heat retention, quick-drying capabilities, and breathability, all while staying very lightweight.
This partial-zip shirt has extra underarm ventilation, elastic cuffs for full-arm comfort, and is treated with a special anti-odor biocidal product for warding off odors even after continued use.
While the warmth-to-weight ratio is spectacular, it's worth noting that this jacket is still very light, weighing in at just 7.2 ounces. That means this isn't the one you'll want to warmth as much as it would be for layering or wearing by itself on a cool (not cold) day or when working out.

What Shoppers Are Saying
Reviews of this jacket are hot and cold—literally. Those who didn't like it mainly point out that it's not very warm, while others say that's what makes them love it so much.
One who bought theirs for trail running said they also "use it at the office and almost every day at home as well." They added, "I run really warm always, so this not being so warm actually works perfectly for me."
In a Reddit conversation about the usefulness of Arc'teryx's Delta Half-Zip products, one user commented, “I love my Delta Half-Zip as a base layer for climbing and hiking. It dries ridiculously quickly when it’s exposed, but packs in significant warmth when covered with a wind shell or soft shell.”
We’re not sure how long Arc’teryx's Delta Half-Zip will stay around at REI—the brand's gear typically sells out in days when it goes on sale, so be sure to pick yours up for $126 while you still can.
