Forget Amazon — I’ve found REI's 27 best Black Friday winter apparel deals for Arc'teryx, Patagonia, Columbia, and more

Doesn't $490 sound so much better than $700? This incredible Arc'teryx parka is the best of the best. If you live in a cold climate, a winter jacket of this caliber is a must-have. You just know this will keep you warm and dry, thanks to the 750-fill goose down and double-layer GORE-TEX outer. The large baffles will keep your body heat in and the 2-way zipper won't restrict your mobility.

If you're just as heartbroken as me that the Synchilla fleece isn't on sale anymore, look no further than the Helvetia II fleece. And how gorgeous is this mountain pattern? If I was based in the U.S., I would seriously be adding this to my cart right now.

These snow boots are available in every shade (black, blue, green, white) and almost every single size. The faux-fur lining is designed to keep your feet warm in deep snow and the OmniTech construction is designed to keep your feet dry, too. The biggest plus is that these boots actually look cool — I'd want it to snow, just for the chance to wear them.

You need to be quick with this one because it's only available in two sizes! This massive discount almost feels like a mistake price — almost $200 down. This jacket has a faux fir trim and Thermore synthetic insulation. No animals harmed here!

A TG staff favorite, the Arc'teryx Atom Insulated Hoody rarely sees a discount, let alone with multiple color options on offer. Lightweight, comfortable and breathable, this synthetic insulated jacket also boasts decent wet-weather protection, making it a great option for layer or wearing on its own.

Save a massive $60 on this iconic Atom Arc'teryx fluffy vest. You know it's well made if it's Arc'teryx — and it's protected with DWR so it'll keep you dry all day. What's best is that this vest is still available in every single size. This is the women's vest, but the Arc'teryx Atom Insulated men's vest (XXL only) is discounted to $170.

This Columbia insulated jacket is filled with 700-fill-power goose down insulation and has Omni-Heat and Omni-Shield technology, which is Columbia's way of saying it'll keep you warm and keep you dry, even in freezing and wet weather. It's available in blue and black in every size, so you can take your pick.

For just $194, you basically get two coats in one. I know the name says three, but it's actually two. One: a waterproof coat. Two: a fleece jacket. Three: the waterproof and fleece together for ultimate winter coziness. The exterior jacket has Columbia's Omni-Tech coating which keeps you dry and a super snuggly classic Columbia fleece for those uber brisk days.

Here's a high-quality rain jacket at a great price. Built with hikers in mind, the Wahkeena Falls 3L Shell features fully taped seams, pit zips for ventilation, an adjustable storm hood, and zippered hand pockets all delivered in a super lightweight and packable design.

This is a massive deal, and just in time for the coldest months of the year. As a Scandinavian brand, it’s no surprise that Fjallraven has mastered cold weather wear. This jacket is available in all sizes and colors right now, so you can choose from black, to green, to blue, to red. This jacket is boosted with G-Loft Supreme synthetic insulation, which will keep you warm even when it’s raining.

This already affordable Columbia men's rain jacket just became an ever better bargain thanks to a 25% price reduction at REI. Waterproof and packable with no shortage of useful features, a rain shell this good for less than $60 is a steal in my book.

Cotopaxi is my favorite lesser-known gorpware brand, combining high-tech outerwear with bold and colorful design elements that are often retro-inspired. Take the men's Teca Fleece Pullover in 'Campfire,' for example. It exemplifies the Salt Lake City-based brand's vibe perfectly. It's also heckin' soft and comfy.

Have you ever felt a Sychilla item? The fluffy, soft exterior is like nothing you’ve ever felt before. I need one of these vests desperately, but I’m holding out for sage green to drop. If you’re a fan of terracotta, you can snag this vest for just $63, or for $90, you can grab the green-and-yellow shade or oatmeal shade.

You can save a whopping 50% off this women's Patagonia fleece pullover. Warm, cozy, and stylish, it features three zippered pockets, a bungee chord hem cinch, and a healthy amount of synthetic insulation to keep you toasty.

This jacket would be perfect for those days where it's super chilly in the morning, but warms up by the afternoon. You could easily layer this underneath a Patagonia Glacier jacket or an oversized Synchilla fleece. On top of the 800-fill down filling, the vest is waterproofed with DWR.

Outdoor Research is a Seattle, Washington-based company that makes some of my favorite high-tech outerwear and this Snowcrew Insulated Anorak is no joke. A truly impressive ski jacket for the money, especially when discounted by 25%, it's as full-featured and fly-looking as they come.

Retro-fabulous, this ultra-lightweight and packable women's wind/rain shell is an impressive 50% off in four colorful styles. I'm a huge fan of the Patagonia Houdini line and rarely leave the house without mine, no matter what the season.

Patagonia makes darn-nice outerwear for ski and snowboarders and the Insulated Powder Town Jacket is no exception. Jam-packed with tech to keep you dry, warm and well-ventilated, it's on sale for 25% off in 'Obsidian Plum' with a decent selection of sizes still available.

This hoodie is designed to be worn as a mid-layer in really cold weather, or as an outer layer in mild temperatures. Its hood is adjustable meaning you will be able to prevent it from flying off in windy weather, too. It’s currently still available in all sizes and colors, but I don’t think that’ll last long at this saving.

Ideal for layering on those freezing winter days, this hoodie is lightweight and thin but helps retain warmth with its recycled polyester lining. It's still available in all sizes and colors, so you can take your pick of styles.

Similar to the Canyonlands Hoodie above, the full-zip jacket is designed for layering in the colder months. Made from mid-weight fleece, this plush garment is ultra-comfy and super-stretchy, to not limit your mobility. This makes it a great choice for wearing under a ski jacket.

These men's boots are still available in all sizes, but I'm not sure how long that will last. The waterproof Sorel boots are designed for traversing snowy landscapes and have a removable inner lining so you can always keep them clean.

Warm, comfortable insulation and high-traction outsoles make The North Face Mule V slip-ons ideal if you're heading to the mountains or maybe even trekking to base camp!

A massive 50% off, these ski pants have 2-layered GORE-TEX and are treated with DWR. Not only that, these pants come with gaiters to keep out snow, have mesh thigh panels, and articulated knees, meaning you'll be skiing or snowboarding in supreme comfort with these premium pants. And they're still available in most sizes — hurry!

The sale colors are black, white, and blue, and as you can see, the blue shade is absolutely stunning. These fitted pants have zippers to make room for your ski boots and will keep you dry. And the best part? The waistband is fleece-lined.

These incredible skiing overalls are down a whopping $180 this Black Friday. While they're only available in one color and size, this is a complete steal if you're going skiing a lot over the winter. And if they're in your size, take it from me — fate brought you here. (Okay, excuse my hyperbole.)

These men's sweatpants from Cotopaxi would be perfect for running city errands in wintry weather. The fleece-lined sweatpants are on sale in this lovely reddy brown, dark navy, and khaki.
