REI’s Labor Day sale has kicked off with up to 40% off camping gear from brands like The North Face and Exped, along with best-selling apparel that’ll keep you comfortable through the rest of the summer. But you’ll also find plenty of lightweight jackets on sale in preparation for the plummeting temperatures, including one from Fjallraven that shoppers say is the perfect layering piece for the fall-to-spring transition.
Right now, Fjallraven’s Keb Padded Insulated Hoodie is on sale for $187 — a rare 25% discount off the regular $250 price. These hoodies have earned more than 25 five-star ratings on REI from shoppers who say they’re “seriously comfortable.” Three colors—green, black, and tan—are on sale in sizes small through 2XL, but only until the sale ends on September 2, and that’s if they don’t sell out first.

This Fjallraven jacket strikes the perfect balance of weight and warmth. It’s made from stretchy yet durable polyester and filled with 60 grams of G-Loft Supreme synthetic insulation, known for its ability to dry quickly, pack easily and wash safely. The jacket features an adjustable hood, hand pockets, a zipped chest pocket and an internal stash pocket, and the cuffs and hem are elasticated to better seal out cold air. It’s warm enough to wear on its own for those chilly autumn days, but it also makes a great mid-layer under a waterproof jacket for skiing and winter hiking.
This Fjallraven hoodie is a great shoulder-season companion, say wearers. “It doesn’t get too hot and would be perfect for fall and spring,” says one shopper after wearing it all winter in New England. “The style is perfect for loungewear and activewear, paired with a pair of sweatpants…it fits me perfectly, with plenty of room in the shoulders and a snug fit in just the right places near the waist.”

Even in Northern California, shoppers say it works incredibly well. “Perfect jacket for the cold in San Francisco,” one shopper exclaimed. “This jacket is going to be my new favorite… It’s lightweight but long enough to keep my back warm, and the hood is perfect for when the wind kicks up. I wear it in SF, including light hikes on the Marin headlands north of the city. The weight and versatility are just what I was looking for.”
If you’re looking for the perfect fall jacket that’s warm enough to withstand the changing temperatures but flexible enough for the daily grind, then this Keb Fill Insulated Hoodie should be at the top of your list. Fjallraven’s products don’t go on sale often, so when you do find one, you better act fast.
