With winter weather just on the horizon, there's no better time than now to purchase a high-quality winter coat. Top retailers like Walmart, Nordstrom Rack, and Columbia are pulling out sale after sale on popular jackets for men. REI, particularly, just went live with a special sale for all of its members that's offering up to 30% off some of the best styles from The North Face, including this bestselling parka that's $120 off just in time for the cold season.
The North Face McMurdo Down Parka is currently selling for only $280 (down from $400) during REI's special sale for members (if you're not currently a member simply sign up, pay a one-time $30 fee, and get great perks for life). This parka has more than 700 five-star reviews from REI shoppers who state that it's "definitely worth the money." You can score the McMurdo in black, brown, and grey, and all sizes from small to 3XL are available, though we expect them to start dwindling before the sale ends on Dec. 23.

This waterproof yet breathable coat with a double-layer shell and non-PFC durable water-repellent finish is optimal for keeping you dry in even the coldest and wettest climates. It has the traditional parka look with a relaxed fit and a three-piece hood with an internal drawcord and removable faux-fur ruff. Zippers aren't in shortage on this jacket either, with two concealed zip chest pockets, a secure-zip internal chest pocket, and hand pockets with secure-zip side entry.
"I recently purchased this parka, and I couldn't be happier with it," a reviewer said. "The quality is outstanding, with durable materials and excellent stitching. It keeps me incredibly warm, even in freezing temperatures, thanks to its superior insulation."
Another reviewer echoed this, stating, "I couldn't be more thrilled with my new parka jacket and winter gloves. The parka is incredibly warm and comfortable, making it perfect for harsh winter weather. It's well-insulated without feeling bulky, and the waterproof outer layer keeps me dry even during heavy snowfall."
The North Face McMurdo Down Parka, which one reviewer described as their "favorite coat of my life," is a fan-favorite for a reason. Its high-quality materials, sleek finish, and thick fabric make it a great option for harsh winter weather. While there are plenty of sizes still left, we expect this coat will sell out fast, so, grab yours while you can.
