Living in the UK means dealing with unpredictable weather, so a good jacket isn’t just nice to have, it’s essential. That’s why I’m excited to see one of my all-time favorites, the Columbia Arctic Crest Down Hooded Jacket, drop to just $168 in Amazon’s Big Spring Sale.
This lightweight puffer has been my go-to for mountain hikes, but it’s just as great for casual walks. It’s warm without feeling bulky, has roomy pockets for essentials, and the best part is that it packs into its own left pocket, doubling as a travel-friendly pillow, perfect for a quick rest on the trail.
From speaking to the Columbia team at their Switzerland HQ last year, I gathered that Omni-Heat Arctic technology is inspired by polar bears. But don’t worry, no fur is involved. Like a polar bear’s coat, the jacket’s black dots on the lining absorb sunlight, while the translucent shell traps warmth. Combined with down insulation, it creates a lightweight yet incredibly warm layer for cold adventures.
I'd describe the fit of this down jacket as being slightly longer, making it perfect for taller people like me. However, the extra length also adds warmth, even if you're on the shorter side. It has a snug fit that flatters the upper half, but if you prefer more room around the hips or like to layer, I’d recommend sizing up from your usual jacket size with this design.
With Columbia and other outdoor brands releasing their Spring collections, now’s the perfect time to grab warmer layers on sale, like the Arctic Crest Down Hooded Jacket. The $112 savings is a huge deal, so don’t wait and grab one before stocks run out!
Don't worry if you miss out on the best deals happening at the Amazon Spring sale, there is a whole Columbia Spring sale happening too, right now.
