Maybe it’s because I’m a new mom, but these little mittens have gone straight into my shopping basket. They’re adorable, available in three different colours, and they’ll keep little hands cosy this winter. There are ribbed cuffs to make it easy to get the mittens on and off, and they come in three different sizes. REI members can save an extra 20% on these mittens with the code LABORDAY2025.
This fleece has a slim fit, making it the perfect layer for your next hike. It has a small zippered pocket on the sleeve for your essentials, and a quarter zip to keep the cold out when the weather drops. Right now, the sale is on two blue colors, although you’ll have to act fast — it won’t be around for long. The men’s version is also on sale for $96 on REI.
This little jacket is a go-to on the Tom’s Guide fitness desk thanks to the lightweight protection it offers on the move. It has "weather-resistant protection" to keep you dry when the weather turns, as well as elastic cuffs and a drawcord waist to keep the rain out. The amazing thing about this jacket is its weight — at just 3.7 ounces for the men’s jacket, and 3.4 ounces for the women’s, this jacket weighs less than your iPhone, so you won’t notice it in your pocket as you move. Right now, it’s on sale for $75 in both the men’s and women’s sizes in the REI sale.
Can you tell I love a fleece? This is a lightweight version of the Patagonia classic pullover fleece, perfect for layering. It won’t take up too much weight in your pack, but will keep you cosy as the temperature drops by the campsite. At the moment, the sale is on five different colorways, with a number of different sizes still in stock. The women’s version is also on sale for $68 on REI.
This down vest is lightweight, durable, and packed with 800-fill down. It’ll pack into your backpack and keep you warm. There are two zipped pockets on the front of the vest, and a hem pullcord to keep the cool out. Right now, it’s on sale in every size in the welted blue colorway — grab it while you can.
