It’s the time of year where winter gear is starting to go on sale even though frigid temperatures are far from gone. In other words, it’s the perfect time to buy a new fleece jacket or snow boots if you want to save money and get some immediate use out of them. One of the best deals we’ve found? A down jacket from Columbia on sale for less than half of its full price.
The Columbia Barlow Pass TurboDown II Jacket is on sale for $102, 65% off its normal price tag of $290. That price is a combination of a 50% discount for everyone and an additional 30% off for Columbia members, a loyalty program that’s free and takes just minutes to join. It’s good on standard, big, and tall options of this jacket in sizes S to XXL in black, navy, olive green, and brown colorways.
The raison d’etre of this jacket is to keep you dry and warm, and it does so impressively. The Omni-Tech sealed seams prevent moisture from seeping in, while the fabric is both breathable (letting out excess heat and moisture) and waterproof. The Omni-Heat thermal-reflective lining is made with silver dots that reflect body heat in, keeping you warm and comfortable as temperatures drop. Between these two layers is 550 TurboDown, layers of both 100g Microtemp XF polyester insulation, and a 450 fill power, responsibly sourced down fabric that’s warm and lightweight. There’s also an adjustable hood, drawcord-adjustable waist, and adjustable ribbed cuffs to seal up this jacket. Zippered dual-entry hand pockets, a removable faux-fur trim, and a droptail hem for extra coverage round out this very complete package.

One shopper called this “outstanding” jacket “warm, reliable, and stylish.” Even during this year’s rough winter in New York, “I didn’t feel cold even for a minute.” This jacket “provides excellent warmth without feeling bulky” and is “very stylish and versatile.”
“It does an excellent job of breaking the wind and keeping in warmth without making me sweaty,” another satisfied customer wrote. “The bottom of the sleeves have a comfortable fabric cuff that keeps cold from entering. It fits well and looks very attractive.”
