My secret to staying warm in even the coldest temperatures is a high-quality synthetic insulated jacket. Options like the Patagonia Nano Puff, Arc’teryx Atom Hoodie and The North Face Circaloft Pullover can be worn as base, mid or outer layers, depending on conditions. Better yet, all three of these trendy, high-tech pieces are on sale in January.

All sales come via REI: Men’s Patagonia Nano Puff Hoodies are marked down by 40% for a savings of $117. Women’s North Face Quater-Zip Insulated Pull-overs are marked down 39% for a savings of $88. And Arct’teryx Insulated Hoodies for both men and women reduced by 19% or $60 off.

Available in classic navy and sleek black, the Circaloft Quarter-Zip Pullover provides impressive bang for the buck at 40% off retail. Stylish and extremely comfy, this lightweight hoodie is also super-packable — compress it down into the right-hand zippered pocket for easy storage. It also comes with a handy stow bag, which doubles as a stuff-sack for other soft goods.

At $132, this sporty, quarter-zip Pullover from The North Face is a great deal, with four colors/patterns and plenty of sizes available — the Almond Butter Graphic Dye and Clay Red/Almond Butter are easily my favorites. A Durable Water-repellent coating should keep you dry in light precipitation, while 60 grams of CircaLoft synthetic insulation should offer ample warmth, whether worn under a heavier jacket or on its own. 

Patagonia Nano Puff Insulated Hoodie (men’s): was $289 now $172 @ REI

The Patagonia Nano Puff comes in many forms, from vests to jackets. But the Hoodie is my favorite, especially for everyday wear. Weighing roughly 13 ounces, this stylish and water-repellent jacket barely feels like you're wearing one at all. And that's the point. Still, 60 grams of PrimaLoft synthetic insulation provides plenty of warmth. But for really cold days, rock the hood — you may look like an astronaut returning from orbit. But who cares?

For mid-layer warmth on really cold days, I prefer the Patagonia Nano Puff in its Jacket form, sans hood. Weighing roughly an ounce less than the Hoodie and with no extra material to create drag, this is a great option for skiing and snowboarding. Plus, if you get too toasty, it can easily be packed down and carried.

Women's Nano Puff Jackets are also 40% off retail, which is about as low as you'll find one new. Sales colors include grey, muted green and plum — though sizes for the latter two are limited. Like the men's version, this jacket works great under a heavier coat, such as one for skiing or snowboarding. It also packs down into the zippered chest pocket for storage and offers moderate water resistance.
