There are still plenty of cold months left on the hill and at the crag and you're going to want to bring the extra protection of a reliable layer whether you're belaying or on the trail. Right now, you can snag the lightweight Patagonia AlpLight Down Jacket for just $179.73 at REI. That's a massive saving of 39% off this down jacket, which Advnture writer Jessie Leong describes as "a down jacket on a diet."
With 800-Fill-Power Advanced Global Traceable Down insulation, this jacket will keep you warm during brisk days at the crag, but what sets it apart from other jackets is how streamlined it is. That makes it easy to move in, plus you can wear it as a mid layer or an outer layer. It also packs down small so you can clip it onto your harness if you're not sure what the weather is doing.
