When it comes to high-performance jackets, you have an avalanche of options to choose from right now, even if you’re looking for a bargain. Great discounts are starting to show up on fleeces, down jackets, synthetic-insulated coats, and more, but if you need a layer for high-intensity activities, keep running brand Nathan in mind. While this brand doesn’t have the name recognition of Patagonia or Nike, it's earned the trust of athletes thanks to its capable and comfortable products, and one of them is over $50 off at REI right now.
The Nathan Navigator Hybrid Insulated Jacket is on sale for $119, a 30% discount on its normal price of $170. This warm and sporty layer is available in three colorways—Black, Forest Green, and Grey Mist—and all three are discounted. You can get this jacket in sizes small up to 2XL, and many sizes are still available, though they're starting to sell out. If sleeves aren't your jam, the Navigator is also available as a vest, and it's on sale for about $30 less.

This running jacket features a 100% polyester ripstop shell paired with 100% polyester synthetic insulation. The exterior has a durable water-repellent finish, so light rain and moisture will bead up and roll off without soaking the jacket, and the sleeves, sides, and back of the jacket are made with a woven four-way-stretch fabric that offers improved freedom of movement (always helpful when running or scrambling over rocks on a challenging hike). Two zippered front pockets and an internal zippered pocket keep a lockdown hold on your valuables, and a drawcord hem allows you to cinch down the jacket to reduce drafts.
Shoppers report the Navigator lives up to Nathan’s sterling reputation for performance and great construction. One shopper appreciated its “great quality and great style,” and another called it the “best running jacket I've ever owned.”
