Why We Love This Deal
Last month, Patagonia served up some awesome deals on outerwear during its blowout Winter Sale. It's one of only two sales the brand has per year, so, naturally, Patagonia diehards know to stock up as soon as possible. Most of the initial markdowns have sold out, but there have been a few 11th-hour additions and even some restocks. The Nano Puff jacket saw a few extra colors drop in price, as did the Diamond Quilted Hoody. There's also there's a screaming-good deal on a popular fleece jacket.
The Patagonia Re-Tool Fleece Jacket is on sale for $99, a 50% discount from its normal price of $199. It’s available in one colorway at that price, and four others are on sale for $119. No other retailer comes close to Patagonia’s $99 price for this jacket—you won’t find it cheaper anywhere else, not even at REI.

I've been tracking the Re-Tool collection for months now, and I think this is on its way to being the next Patagonia staple alongside the Synchilla and Better Sweater styles. Here's why.
The Re-Tool is made from a 100% recycled polyester fleece that shoppers say is really cozy, soft, and warm (even without any insulation). On this model, particularly, the stand collar adds extra warmth and softness around your neck, and the full-zip design makes it easy to get off and on and helps you dump hot air if you get overheated. Zippered pockets at the chest and sides provide useful storage, and an elasticized binding at the hem and cuffs keeps the fit snug and helps block drafts. Bottom line: This is a simple, comfort-focused design that just works.
What Shoppers Are Saying
Shoppers love the Re-Tool fleece’s plush fabric and go-anywhere design. The fabric is “super comfy” and is also “the perfect weight for cooler weather.” Some noted that the Re-Tool has a relatively roomy fit, which makes it “great for layering.”
Overall, reviewers agree that it works best on its own in milder temps in the 40s to 50s Fahrenheit, though you could add a shell jacket or another layer to get through more challenging weather. But even on its own, the Re-Tool is exceptionally versatile and ideal for casual wear. “Perfect for watching sunsets at the beach, sitting around the campfire, or for morning walks,” one shopper said.
Patagonia’s on-sale jackets are selling out left and right, and the Re-Tool Fleece Jacket is sure to follow, especially with this huge 50% discount. Scoop yours today before your size disappears.
