5 items from REI’s winter sale I’d buy right now for less than $50

Patagonia P-6 Logo T-Shirt: was $45 now $21
This casual heavyweight tee is made from a mix of cotton and polyester. Soft and breathable, the front of the shirt has Patagonia written in small letters above the left chest, while the back displays an oversized screenprint of the brand's classic mountain logo. Grab this deal in red or teal. 

Patagonia Capilene Cool Daily Graphic T-Shirt: was $55 now $28
Sweat-wicking shirts made for working out rarely look cool. But this Pataoniga Capilene Cool is an exception. Available in teal and red/orange, this tee sports a small Patagonia logo on the front left chest and a full-sized print on the back. Plus, it's super lightweight, stretchy and breathable. 

The North Face Heritage Patch Crew Sweatshirt: was $65 now $31
Available in purple and heather grey, this classic-style crewneck sweatshirt from The North Face boasts a tastefully sized woven logo patch on the left chest. Super-cozy yet chic, this is one of those sweatshirts that your romantic partner/best friend/neighbor may try to steal — and I don't blame them. So, maybe buy two. 

REI Trailmade Rain Jacket: was $69 now $34
$34 is an outrageously good price to pay for a decent-quality rain jacket that should last you several seasons — especially if you take the time to properly waterproof it. With spring just around the corner, this just may be the best bang-for-your-buck jacket you ever buy. It's super packable, comes with a deployable hood and looks sharp. 

Smartwool Active Long-sleeve Tech T-Shirt: was $95 now $46
This Merino wool long-sleeve is one of my go-to layers for very cold hikes or snowboard adventures. Worn with a sweat-wicking layer underneath — like the Patagonia Capilene Cool T-Shirt above — and a lightweight, synthetic puffer on top (plus a rain shell, if needed), I'm ready for almost anything. Warm, soft and lightweight, Smartwool gear may not be the most chic-looking, but it's oh-so-practical.
