REI’s holiday sale has had some incredible deals on all kinds of gear—. While the sale is winding down, that doesn’t mean the deals are ending. Right now, REI has an awesome markdown—nearly $150 off—on a highly rated Arc’teryx jacket.
REI's holiday deals have been special, in a word, with incredible deals on gear that rarely gets marked down, including a pair of phone-friendly winter gloves and an iconic insulated down parka from The North Face and super fast running shoes from Salomon. Surprisingly an Arc'teryx jacket just received a major discount to close out REI's sale—it's nearly $150 off and it's selling very fast.
The Arc’teryx Beta SL Jacket is now on sale for $351, a 29% discount from its normal price of $500. This sought-after jacket is ideal for wet and snowy winter weather, and it’s available in sizes small to 2XL. Just one colorway—Sequoia/Solaris—is on sale, but that usually doesn't stop gearheads from scooping up deals like this, especially when it's from Arc'teryx.

The Arc’teryx Beta SL features a super hardy 3L construction for robust waterproofing and durability. It’s made with a Gore-Tex ePE waterproof membrane to block rain, sleet, and snow, and it’s laminated to a bio-based nylon face fabric with a DWR finish to repel raindrops and moisture. On the inside, the Beta is lined with Gore-Tex C-Knit, which gives it a comfortable feel and boosts its breathability, too. This jacket is designed to keep you comfortable during high-intensity activities: The sleeves are built for good mobility, and pit zips allow you to dump excess heat when you’re really hustling. Plus, it has lots of handy storage. Two zippered hand pockets and an internal chest pocket keep a lockdown hold on your valuables. And if you’re going off the grid, this jacket even includes an extra safety feature: A built-in RECCO reflector can help rescuers find you in an emergency.
REI shoppers have weighed in, and the verdict is clear: This jacket rules. One reviewer praised its “great features” and said it’s “one of the essential pieces for all my mountain adventures and daily life.” Another agreed, saying, “The new beta SL is very lightweight and thin, with a great fit. It has excellent windproof and waterproof features.”
“The materials are well chosen and it feels both rugged and well-made,” said a third shopper.
Think it’s too late in the season to score a good wet-weather jacket? Think again. At nearly $150 off, this is a standout deal on the top-notch Arc’teryx Beta SL. Whether you’re trekking in the mountains, skiing, or just trying to get through your wintertime commutes without getting soaked, this jacket is up to the task. But don’t wait around: These layers are selling fast, so grab yours before your size goes out of stock.
