13 early Amazon Prime Day outerwear deals I'd buy right now, including my favorite The North Face jacket

Columbia Steens Mountain 2.0 Full Zip Fleece Jacket (men's): was $60 now $38
A high-quality fleece jacket for under $40 is a total steal in my book. This cozy and stylish full-zip is available in a wide range of sizes and colors and comes highly rated by nearly a thousand Amazon users. 

Columbia Benton Springs Vest (women's): was $45 now $34
If sleeves ain't your thing but feeling warm and comfy is then consider the Columbia Benton Springs fleece vest. It's extra plush and boasts two zippered hand pockets for good measure.

Columbia Benton Springs Full Zip (women's): was $60 now $41
On the flip side, if you prefer that the thieves didn't steal the sleeves, then the full-zip Benton Springs fleece may be the jacket for you. Best of all, that set of sleeves will cost you just six bucks more. 

Columbia Fire Side II Full Zip Sherpa (women's): was $100 now $50
Moving into even cozier garments than the fleece options above, Columbia's ultra plush sherpa jacket is a whopping 50% off with lots of styles to select from. Like the Benton Springs options, zippered hand pockets come standard. 

Columbia Switchback Lined Long Jacket (women's): was $100 now $57
The Switchback Lined Long Jacket incorporates a lot of high-end technology into an affordable package, especially with Prime Day savings factored in. As the name implies, this version is extra long, to keep you extras dry. It's also fully lined for breathability with an adjustable hem, cuffs and storm hood. The exterior uses Columbia's 100% waterproof Hydroplus material to ensure dryness. 

Carhartt Rain Defender Anorak (men's): was $79 now $59
Carhartt's stylish and packable Rain Defender Anorak is highly water-resistant, as the name suggests, and is both lightweight and roomy, making it the perfect bring-everywhere option. It also boasts an oversized communal hand pocket with velcro closure, a mesh liner for added breathability and a half-zip design. 

Marmot Drop Line Half Zip Fleece (men's): was $90 now $59
Dudes can also get in on the high-end cozy coat deals by way of the Marmot Drop Line Fleece. This half-zip is extra-breathable, making it a great choice for layering in the colder months. For those not familiar with the brand, Marmot has been making technical outerwear for serious Alaskan outdoor enthusiasts for over 50 years. So, you can trust they know a thing or two about warmth. 

Helly Hansen Moss Hooded Raincoat (men's): was $85 now $58
While Marmot is U.S.-based, Helly Hansen is a Norwegian outerwear brand with similarly impressive credentials but 140+ years in the business. Norway, like Alaska, gets some damn-cold and wet winters and simply put, this may well be the best rain jacket you ever own. I'll leave it at that.

Helly Hansen Moss Hooded Raincoat (women's): was $85 now $65
Ladies can also get in on the Helly Hansen rain jacket goodness with a discount Moss coat of their own, though it costs a few bucks more. I've yet to test this jacket in my shower, but based on its history — the fancy Haloex waterproof material used is good enough for Norway's Olympic athletes — I have no doubt it will pass with flying colors.

The North Face Osito Jacket (women's): was $99 now $84
The North Face is another one of my favorite gorpware brands. Not only does TNF outerwear look stylish, wear comfortably and keep you reliably warm, but it holds up exceptionally well over the seasons. The women's Osito Jacket is no exception. It's also bodaciously soft to the touch. 

The North Face Aconcagua 3 Jacket (men's): was $200 now $119
Are you in the market for a super-warm down coat at a fabulous price? Look no further. The North Face Aconcagua 3 Jacket is nothing short of legendary when it comes to winter weather staples. Constructed from a mix of synthetic and natural materials, this chic puffer will keep you warm and dry on even the coldest mornings thanks to 600-fill down and a polyester exterior that's been treated with a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating. 

Columbia Suttle Mountain Long Insulated Jacket (women's): was $160 now $133
For those who tend to run especially chilly, the Suttle Mountain jacket features heat-reflective technology along with a healthy dose of synthetic down insulation to ensure maximum warmness. Extra long, it also boasts a sherpa-lined hood, hand-warming pockets, a zippered chest pocket and two cargo-style pockets for valuables. 

Mountain Hardware Insulated Hoodie (men's): was $360 now $215
Moving onto super high-tech outerwear, this Mountain Hardware Hoodie boasts a hefty amount of ultra-light synthetic insulation to keep you nice and toasty, without weighing you down. It's also treated with a DWR coating to keep the moisture out.
