REI recently launched a whole raft of sales on sought-after jackets and outerwear, offering up to 50% off brands like The North Face, Columbia, and Cotopaxi, but it’s Patagonia’s iconic layers that are sending shoppers into a frenzy. Styles like the Synchilla fleece, the lightweight Nano Puff vest, and the cozy Down Sweater Hoodie have all been marked down, but one of the best-kept secrets of REI’s sale section is this quilted Patagonia jacket that’s half off and just waiting to be discovered.

The Patagonia Diamond Quilted Insulated Bomber Hoodie is on sale for $99, a 50% discount on its normal price of $199. This insulated hoodie-jacket mashup is a favorite at REI, and it has earned over 100 five-star ratings from shoppers who say it’s “fantastic,” even after multiple years of wear. Four colorways are available at the discounted pricing, but only two of them—blue and teal—have complete size runs from small to 3XL left in stock, so make sure to get yours soon.

This lightweight jacket is made from 100% recycled polyester taffeta fabric, and it’s coated with a DWR treatment to repel light precipitation (it also helps ward off stains). Inside, the jacket is stuffed with Thermogreen polyester insulation to keep you warm; unlike down, this material will continue to insulate even if it gets damp. The diamond-quilting design doesn’t just look great, it also keeps the insulation evenly distributed across the jacket, so you get consistent warmth all over. The stitching also reduces bulk and makes the jacket easier to pack down. A pair of deep handwarmer pockets and a zippered chest pocket give you places to stash essentials, and the elasticized hem and cuffs block out the wind for reliable warmth, even in breezy conditions.
According to REI reviewers, this jacket is a slam dunk for everyday wear because it’s warm, comfortable, and looks great, too. One shopper called it “warm and stylish” and loved its “super cool ‘90s retro fit.” Another reviewer called it “lightweight and comfortable,” also praising its “great fit.”

“Warmer and more comfortable than any of my cotton hoodies,” said another shopper who noted that it “still wears well after many years, adventures, and wash cycles.”
With its lightweight hooded design and heat-trapping insulation, the Diamond Quilted Insulated Bomber Hoodie combines the best qualities of a hoodie and an insulated jacket. It’ll be one of the most versatile outerwear picks in your closet, and at just $99, it’s a screaming deal. You’ll be glad to have this jacket once fall weather blows in—make sure you grab one now before your size and preferred colorway sell out.
