Forget the Amazon Big Spring Sale because I've been scouring Dick's Sporting Goods deals and found some superb discounts on top brands like Patagonia, The North Face and Carhartt fitness and outdoor apparel. 

As we head into spring, you might be thinking about replacing some of your outerwear, so why not save with some top early spring fitness discounts while you do it? I write about fitness for a living, teach outdoor fitness classes and enjoy outdoor activities like hiking the Alps, so you could say I'm more than familiar with choosing fitness apparel brands — and the best brands don't usually come cheap. Until now.

Although the Amazon sales don't start until Wednesday, March 20, Dick's Sporting Goods could save you big money before then, including over $100 off the Patagonia Nano Puff jacket for a limited time.

Here are some of the spring fitness deals I'd actually buy.

It's water repellent, the hood stows into the collar, internal flaps block any drafts and there's also an internal drop-in pocket. Plus, we dig the 2000s-era design.

You've also got inner and outer pockets and a high collar for added protection.

If these deals aren't for you, the Amazon Big Spring Sale runs from March 20 until March 25, but they're not the only early discounts available right now. 

You can find huge Amazon sale discounts across fitness, tech, and home, and the Best Buy sale still has items discounted for a limited time.
