Why We Love This Deal
From now through Nov. 2, REI has unlocked a sweet stash of handpicked deals on cold-weather gear in the REI Outlet section. There are some real gems in the mix, including notable deals on down jackets from Mountain Hardwear and fleeces from Marmot, Patagonia, and The North Face. This deeply discounted Arc’teryx shell is another bright spot in the sale, and it’s a compelling option for deep backcountry missions this winter.
The Arc’teryx Rush Jacket is on sale for just $560 during this sale, a 30% markdown (its normal price is $800). This is the best deal I could find for the Rush: It beats the prices at Arc’teryx and Scheels, for example.

What Shoppers Should Know
- Fabric: 100% recycled nylon
- Waterproofing: 3L Gore-Tex Pro ePE
- Pockets: 4
The Rush is built to keep you dry and comfortable in demanding conditions like driving snow, blowing wind, and steady rain. It blocks out the elements with a three-layer fabric design: The waterproof membrane is sandwiched between inner and outer layers of fabric, providing the most robust and durable type of waterproofing. While typical 3L shells are heavy, this one saves weight with its Gore-Tex Pro ePE waterproof membrane, a new generation of waterproof material that’s lighter than typical membranes.
In addition, this jacket is made to move. Articulated patterning keeps the jacket flexible, while pit zips help you quickly dump heat when you’re working hard. It even comes with an embedded RECCO reflector, which can help rescuers locate you in an emergency. Overall, it’s a well-thought-out jacket that you can rely on for powder days and backcountry treks.
And if you’re into Arc’teryx, make sure to browse REI’s other deals on the brand’s gear, including the Squamish hoodie, the Ossa hoodie, and the Beta Insulated Jacket.
What Shoppers Are Saying
Shoppers reported the Rush Jacket “keeps the weather out and the heat in,” and they praised both its waterproofing and its flexible, restriction-free fit. It feels great to wear, and multiple shoppers reported using it as an everyday rain jacket—it’s that comfortable and protective. Overall, the Rush is “all you could ask for in a ski shell” and more.
This rare 30% discount on the Rush Jacket ends on Nov. 2, but it could sell out well before then. Snag yours now while there are still plenty of sizes in stock.
