Whether you’re planning to hike even as flakes fly or you just need to stay warm while venturing out for the day, an insulated jacket is a must-have for cold weather. Usually, these high-performance layers are a serious investment, but we’ve seen some notable discounts lately, including one from a beloved running brand and a bestselling option over at Huckberry. Despite that, Columbia’s jackets are some of the most popular, and now that the brand's early Black Friday sale is live, one of its best is under $80.
The Columbia Slope Edge II Jacket is on sale for $78, a 40% discount on its normal price of $130. Incredibly, this toasty layer is discounted across six colorways, and it’s available in a massive variety of sizes, including small up to 2XL standard sizes and a whole array of big and tall options, too. The Early Black Friday pricing runs until Nov. 20, during which shoppers can take advantage of free shipping on pre-tax orders of $150 or more, and if you use Apple Pay, you can also get an extra $25 off orders of $150 or more, but only through Nov. 17.
Columbia Slope Edge II Jacket in Mountain Blue, $78 (was $130) at Columbia
This insulated Columbia puffer jacket features an all-polyester shell, recycled polyester insulation, and a polyester heat-reflecting lining. The jacket is stuffed with Columbia’s Thermarator insulation, and unlike down, those synthetic fibers continue to insulate even when wet—in other words, this jacket will continue to keep you warm even when it’s damp. The interior lining also plays a role: The Omni-Heat material uses silver dots that reflect body heat back toward your skin, preserving warmth that might otherwise escape the jacket. The hood and hem feature drawcords, so you can cinch them down to block icy breezes, and the elasticized cuffs also cut down on chilly drafts. Plus, there’s room for your gear. A pair of zippered hand pockets and an interior stash pocket give you convenient places to store your keys, phone, wallet, and more.
It's a new version of a classic style, but this jacket has been a hit with Columbia shoppers so far. One called it “warm and comfortable with excellent quality” and said it will “keep you warm and last a lifetime.”

Another admired the jacket's details and the way it felt. “Fits well,” they said. “Zipper works well and the hood is plenty big enough. Looking forward to wearing it this winter.”
Columbia is a brand you can trust for quality outdoor gear, and the Slope Edge II offers some of the brand’s best insulating tech. At just $78, it’s a fraction of the price of competing insulated jackets, which means it’s a cold-weather no-brainer—just make sure to grab yours now before this stellar deal disappears.
