We have a love-hate relationship with Patagonia. You probably do, too. That is to say, we love virtually all of Patagonia’s high-performance garb and gear. However, we hate swiping plastic on it, as Patagonia’s ethically sourced, top-tier wares don’t run cheap.

As such, our gear team is always on the hunt for discounts on Patagonia product. And these penny-pinching, bargain-tracking gear nerds (their words, not ours) recently flagged a “quiet” sale at Backcountry.com that’s overflowing with deals on Patagonia duds and more.

Best Patagonia Deals on Puffies

ThePatagonia puffyis an almost obligatory piece of the outdoor enthusiast uniform, and for good reason, too. We’re huge fans of the relatively affordable, toasty Nano Puff, as it’s a go-to layer for year-round adventurers. The warmer, lighter Micro Puff is a must for gram-counters embarking on alpine exploits. You can’t go wrong either way, though. Comfy, cozy, and hardwearing, these Patagoniamen’sandwomen’s insulated jacketswill be a key component of your outdoor wardrobe for years to come. Not only that, but they’re currently on sale for up to 40 percent off.

Best Patagonia Deals on Midlayers, Base Layers, And Sun Hoodies

There are few things we love more than Patagonia’s outerwear, but the brand’s midlayers, base layers, andsun hoodiesare high on that list. On the women’s side, the moisture-wickingCapilene Cool Daily HoodyandTropic Comfort Natural Hoodyoffer impressive protection from UV rays on sweltering spring ski tours and midsummer backpacking trips, making them warm-weather favorites (although on-sale sizing is limited, so don’t dawdle). If you’re exploring cooler climes, you’ll be stoked to see the cult-classicR1 Pulloverin the mix: it’s a gridded tech fleece with a snug-fitting hood that’s soft to the touch and handles high-output activity like a champ.

Sizing is even more limited on the men’s front in the sun shirt department, as theTropic Comfort Hoodyis solely available in a small. If that works for you, you can snag one for 35 percent off. Gents have a few midlayers to choose from, including the retroMicrodini ½ Zip Pulloverand thetester-approvedR1 Pullover.
