Why We Love This Deal
REI just went live with hundreds of new end-of-year deals on gear from Fjallraven, Smartwool, and Hoka, among many other outdoor brands. The sale, which runs through Dec. 29 and is likely the final attempt to clear space for incoming spring gear, also features a very popular fleece jacket from The North Face that Men's Journal has been monitoring over the past couple of months. As part of this sale, it's down to the lowest price we've ever seen.
The North Face's Gordon Lyons Full-Zip Jacket is now on sale for only $60, a 50% discount from its normal price of $120. We've previously seen this jacket marked as low as $67 as a special offer to REI's Co-op members. Now, since it's half off and available to all, this is likely the last chance to get one before it sells out.

What Shoppers Should Know
- Colorways Available: 2, though the High Rise Grey Heather has a far better selection
- Sizes Available: S-3XL
- Material: 150-denier, 300 g/m² 53% recycled polyester, 47% polyester
The Gordon Lyons jacket is like a mashup of a sweater, a fleece, and a jacket, which makes it uniquely comfortable and versatile. The secret is the fabric: It’s made from a 150-denier polyester (including a large portion of recycled polyester) that gives this layer a soft feel with exceptional durability.
It works great as a midlayer when venturing out for high-intensity outdoor activities, and you can also wear it on its own casually. Dual zippered side pockets provide convenient storage for essentials, and the stand collar keeps your neck warm, especially when the jacket is fully zipped up.

What Shoppers Are Saying
The Gordon Lyons jacket has racked up nearly 400 five-star reviews at REI—it’s easily one of the highest-rated jackets we’ve seen at the retailer. What do shoppers love about it? Reviewers say it’s a “knockout” and a “great midlayer piece” that’s “nice and warm” and “very comfortable” to wear.
It’s super versatile, too: Shoppers report wearing it both for casual wear and outdoor sports. Some even wear it for work: "I'm a healthcare worker, and I wear this in the hospital," one said.
With its streamlined and durable design, The North Face's Gordon Lyons jacket will be a go-to layer for all kinds of outdoor activities this winter, but now that it's 50% off, this is likely the last chance anybody will have to buy one before they're sold out. Snag one while you still can.
