Why We Love This Deal
The REI Last-Minute Gifts Sale is here, and from now through Dec. 22, you can save big on select items that range from travel gear to ski clothing, and everything in between. Perhaps the best deals are found on REI Co-op-brand products themselves, with the company’s Magma Down Jacket collection receiving especially appealing discounts.
This includes REI Co-op's Magma 850 Down Hoodie, which is now 30% off, down to $181 from its original $259 price. We expect this to be one of the sale’s biggest hits for its superb combination of simple packability and exceptional warmth and quality. These typically go on sale (and sell out) around this time of year, and they make very popular gifts for men. If you're gifting this to somebody, note that the orders placed by 9 a.m. PST on Dec. 18 are tagged to arrive by Christmas.

The Magma 850 Down Hoodie is a zip-up hoodie made to resist cold and rain. Its high-fill goose provides strong warmth while remaining lightweight and is packed everywhere, including the hood. This hood has rear adjustments, so you can get a really snug fit, making it a potential hat replacement in the right conditions.
It’s hard to say enough about how travel-friendly this is, despite its necessarily puffy, down nature. These jackets are always sought-after for their down distribution—this year's version really focuses on warmth distribution where the body needs it most—and packability, as the Magma 850 Down Hoodie is able to be packed into one of its own hand warmer pockets.

What Shoppers Are Saying
How does it all come together for outdoor wear? One shopper reviewed the hoodie as “ultralight and extremely warm with great style,” showing that REI has been quite successful with its material blend and manufacturing.
Another shopper, who bought the jacket as a travel exclusive but hates having dedicated travel-only items, said “I’ll wear this regularly in daily life” and called it “my new primary layering piece.”
The REI Co-op Magma 850 Down Hoodie is 30% off, and you can get it by Christmas if you order before 9 a.m. PT on Dec. 18. Otherwise, expect this deal to expire with the sale on Dec. 22.
