From brisk coffee walks to winter hikes, frosty weather calls for a cozy vest that protects your vitals and lets sweat escape. Right now, you can pick up the retro-vibed North Face Men's 1996 Retro Nuptse Vest for just $159.73 at REI. That's a massive savings of $70 off this cozy gilet that we gave near-perfect marks for its performance in the cold.

This high-performing and effortlessly classy hiking vest turns out to be a timeless piece of gears when you get it outdoors, thanks to 700 fill power goose down that keeps you warm when it's chilly but still compresses. In fact, you can stuff this vest into its own pocket for travel or a makeshift pillow for winter camping.

A water-resistant ripstop shell can handle a light drizzle while hand-warming pockets help you keep your digits warm as you walk and a cozy hood keeps a winter wind out of your ears.

This deal applies to men's sizing in the classic Coal Brown/Tnf Black colorway, but we suggest you act fast if you want it in time for Christmas.
