The 9 Best Gear Deals at Patagonia's Winter Sale

Patagonia’s reputation precedes itself. In addition to a storied social and environmental ethos, the outfitter is renowned for its premium, well-designed apparel and outdoor equipment. Unfortunately for gear enthusiasts on a budget, that high-quality product usually comes with a high price tag. The operative word here is “usually.” Patagonia’s currently offloading last season’s styles for up to 50% off.

Our gear team sifted through hundreds of deals to find these tester-approved Patagonia offerings that we highly recommend. In particular, we focused on winter gear and apparel, seeing as ski and snowboard season is currently in full swing. However, there’s something for everyone, from practical packing cubes to stylish sling packs. Check out the gear below, and if you don’t find what you’re looking for, you can browse the entire Patagonia sale here.

Patagonia Black Hole Duffel 55L for $118 ($169)

Patagonia’s Black Hole Duffels are trusted by everyone from expedition skiers and climbers to grom-wrangling parents. The luggage line owes its popularity to the brawny, weather-resistant, TPU-coated fabric, not to mention capacious main compartments, smart organizational touches, and a multitude of carry options. We’ve actually awarded this 55-liter version “best overall” honors in our annual luggage test, but you can’t go wrong with any Patagonia piece that bears the Black Hole stamp.

Patagonia Men’s 3-in-1 Powder Town Jacket for $349 ($499)

Even at full price, the 3-in-1 Powder Town Jacket is a damn good deal. Why? It comes with a lightweight, insulated liner jacket that zips out of a separate waterproof and breathable shell. The liner features 60g of warm-when-wet synthetic insulation, and it can be worn solo in the mountains or around town. You can also rock the shell as a standalone outer layer on warmer ski days. When zipped together, the sum is greater than the parts, and the 3-in-1 Powder Town thrives as a warm and weatherproof ski jacket that’s an absolute steal at 30% off right now.

Patagonia Women’s Insulated Storm Shift Jacket for $384 ($549)

If you typically run cold on the hill, adding Patagonia’s Insulated Storm Shift Jacket to your winter wardrobe is a smart play. Stuffed with synthetic, recycled polyester insulation, the Insulated Storm Shift is Patagonia’s warmest ski jacket. More specifically, the Storm Shift features 60g insulation in zones like the sleeves and hood for mobility, while heavier 100g in the torso provides the core with extra warmth. Essentially, this mapped insulation allows skiers to stay toasty without sacrificing any valuable range of motion. Not only that, but the coat boasts a two-layer Gore-Tex shell fabric, supplying top-tier waterproofing for snowy storm days.

Patagonia Men’s Down Sweater Hoodie for $164 ($329)

The Down Sweater Hoodie ticks all the boxes we’re looking for in an insulator. The shell fabric is a lightweight, packable, windproof, DWR-treated nylon sourced from recycled fishing nets, and the baffles are generously stuffed with 800-fill down that’s responsibly sourced, according to the brand. Factor in a cozy adjustable hood and a well-designed array of pockets (including an interior chest pocket that doubles as a stuff sack), and this hoodie isn’t just a stylish winter puffy–it’s a reliable, utilitarian year-round essential.

Patagonia Women’s R1 Fleece Pullover for $69 ($139)

We mentioned earlier how you can’t go wrong with Patagonia’s Black Hole line, and the outfitter’s cult-classic R1 collection is similarly stellar. A technical thermal layer that’s perfect for layering over a light base layer T-shirt or long-sleeve, the Women’s R1 Fleece Pullover provides extra warmth during chilly adventures. We love the pullover silhouette and the useful zippered chest pocket as well as the Polartec Power Grid fabric’s feel. This material is crafted from a recycled polyester and spandex blend, providing breathability as well as a stretchy fit. Not to mention, we love that it’s over 50% off right now.

Patagonia Men’s R1 TechFace Fitz Roy Trout Hoodie for $131 ($219)

Our backcountry ski and splitboard testers are big fans of the TechFace rendition of Patagonia’s R1. The breathable double-weave fabric (another polyester and spandex blend) feels soft and warm to the touch without trapping heat in, keeping things comfortable even if you’re rocking a T-shirt underneath and sweating up a storm. The exterior, though, is what makes this one of the most versatile midlayers in the R1 line: it’s purposefully smooth, durable, and treated with a DWR finish, allowing the aptly named TechFace to double as a softshell outer layer that withstands mild weather and howling winds.

Patagonia Black Hole Cube 3L for $27 ($39)

Another major highlight from the Black Hole line, Patagonia’s Cube packing cubes are a gamechanger for messy packers. The Cubes come in three sizes (3L, 6L, and 14L), all of which are crafted from tough, travel-ready polyester ripstop with a TPU-film laminate for extra weather and abrasion resistance.

The Cube 3L is basically an over-built dopp kit that’ll last forever. We’ve mainly used the 3L for toiletries or electronics while traveling, but we’ve also deployed this smaller size as a makeshift hip belt pocket while on a splitboard expedition in the Arctic Circle, threading backpack hip straps through the Cube’s external daisy chain loops. Long story short, this compact organizer is bomber and practical, and we can’t recommend it more highly. But a little extra advice: Mix and match sizes to build a kit that meets your needs.

Patagonia Black Hole Cube 14L for $45 ($65)

Unlike the Cube 3L, which is the smallest size option, the Back Hole Cube 14L is the largest style. This supersized version sports a clamshell design and mesh dividers separating the two main compartments. You’d be surprised just how much you can stuff in these sizable packing cubes. We typically utilize this capacity for organizing shirts, pants, gloves, goggles, outerwear, and so forth.

Patagonia Atom Sling Bag 8L for $45 ($65)

A sporty version of the increasingly popular cross-body sling pack, Patagonia’s Atom Sling Bag 8L is a pragmatic, unisex accessory that any traveler will dig. Thanks to the comfortable padding and asymmetrical strap, the sling pack can handle all-day adventures and international travel. The main compartment features dual zippered pockets, facilitating on-the-go organization, and a front pocket incorporated into the shoulder strap is ideal for stashing anything from your phone to chapstick. While the packable volume is only eight liters, a pair of buckling straps multiply hauling potential, accommodating yoga mats, rain jackets, travel towels, and more. Whether we’re hopping on an international flight or grabbing a bite on a mountain town main street, chances are this Patagonia pack will come in handy.
