Why It's a Good Deal
REI has been going nuts with great deals on lightweight, cozy layers lately. It's great news for winter runners and hikers—there are a handful of useful athletic pieces on sale from brands like Arc'teryx, Kuhl, and even Smartwool. But the Co-op is also featuring a handful of its own gear on sale, and those seeking something warm but forgiving would do well to pick up this stretchy fleece while it's still in stock.
The REI Co-op Flash Hyperstretch Fleece Jacket is on sale for $70, a 30% discount from its normal price of $100. This jacket is on sale in two colorways, gray and teal, and you can order it in sizes small up to 3XL. Shoppers also really seem to like it—it's been awarded a "Top-Rated" badge and has a very healthy 4.5-star rating after amassing nearly three dozen glowing reviews.

You can tell from the name alone that the Flash Hyperstretch Fleece Jacket is built for rigorous movement. The secret ingredient is the fabric: It’s made from a blend of recycled polyester, nylon, and spandex, which gives the jacket solid durability and enough stretch to move with you.
The interior of the jacket has a fleece texture for a really comfortable, warm feel that’ll keep you feeling cozy in chilly weather. A wind flap behind the main zipper, elastic cuffs, and a drawcord hem keep cold breezes at bay, and the scuba-style hood has an elasticated edge and a snug fit to keep it from blowing off your head in windy conditions.
What Shoppers Are Saying
One REI shopper called the Flash Hyperstretch “totally comfortable,” and another said it’s “the best jacket that I ever had.”
A third reviewer called it “sharp looking and functional,” adding how much they loved that “it’s soft and warm and a just-right fit on the wrists and hood.”
Just $70 for a warm, stretchy, super comfortable jacket from a respected brand like REI? You don’t need us to tell you the Flash Hyperstretch Fleece is an amazing deal. Unfortunately, it’s only on sale in two colorways, and that might mean there isn’t much stock—nab yours ASAP before your size sells out.
