Innovation can be exceptionally cool, but it also has a habit of being extremely expensive — especially when it comes to gear made to guard against the elements. Take a look at some of the more technical insulated jackets, for example, and you could be looking at an entry price in the hundreds of dollars. Columbia, by contrast, has managed to keep a lot of their garments on the more affordable side, even when it comes to the brand’s most innovative synthetic jacket, the Three Forks Black Dot Jacket you see here. And it just got even more affordable thanks to a limited 50 percent off deal (a part of the brand’s larger Winter Sale).

Yes, you read that correctly: this jacket is discounted by 50 percent right now, dropping the price from $280 down to just $140 — making this perhaps the best bang-for-your-buck offer on a synthetic-insulated jacket around. And what does one get for this pauper’s fee? How about a water-resistant outer fabric, 100 percent recycled polyester Omni-Heat synthetic down, a bevy of storage pockets and the ability to pack down small into itself for simpler storage and transport? All of that is included and more. So if you’re in the market for a new cold-weather coat, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a better deal than this one from Columbia. But you’ll want to hurry — some sizes are already sold out and others are sure to follow.
