Deals on essential fall outdoor gear can be found everywhere online ahead of the upcoming season. Amazon is currently selling a bunch of handy multi-tools and pocket knives, Dick’s Sporting Goods is offering affordable tents, and even Hoka is offering rare discounts on hiking boots. But REI remains the best place to get the best deals on high-quality items, including this iconic Patagonia fleece pullover that’s more than $40 off.
Patagonia’s Lightweight Synchilla Snap-T Fleece Pullover is now on sale for $97—30% off its regular price of $139. The lightweight, warm pullover, a longtime Patagonia staple, is the best-selling fleece in REI’s Deals section, and reviewers say it’s “soft, cozy, and comfortable.” Colors on sale include a few of the wild patterns Patagonia is known for, as well as more muted tones in contrasting blues, browns, and greens. It’s still available in sizes XS to 3XL, but some are already selling out.

If you don’t have any Patagonia gear or are itching to get more than the brand’s high-quality but often pricey gear, this lightweight Synchilla fleece is a great choice. It weighs just 32 ounces and is made from Patagonia’s Synchilla synthetic fleece, spun from 100% recycled polyester. The recycled nylon front snap uses four snaps, so you can quickly release heat or close and open the collar to keep in warmth. The small front snap pocket is big enough to hold a few day’s worth of essentials, and the Spandex trim on the cuffs and hem helps keep drafts out. It’s also Fair Trade Certified, like most of Patagonia’s gear, which means those who put it together got paid a premium.
Happy customers raved about the featherweight feel, warmth and cool colors. One was surprised by how much attention the product got for them. “I never expected to get so many compliments and questions from strangers,” they said. “It’s so comfortable.” Another satisfied customer parroted the sentiment, saying, “This garment is soft, comfortable, well-made and looks great. I expect it to be a pleasure to wear for many years to come.”
