As today’s blizzard reminds us, there’s still plenty of winter left to weather. Luckily, we found lots of deals on cold weather gear for him and her (and even Fido) in our latest sales-bin sweep, like a fuzzy fleece from Patagonia, a pair of actually stylish rain boots, and a patterned puffer for pups.
Backcountry is taking up to 50 percent off cold weather gear as part of its semi-annual winter sale, including this Patagonia puffer that one snowshoer told us is “windproof, dries quickly when wet, and is light enough to stick in a pack if you get too hot.” (And if this Andes Blue isn’t quite your thing, there are a couple of other colors to choose from.)
If your ideal Valentine’s Day date looks like a midwinter hike, here’s a fluffy, retro-inspired fleece (complete with spandex at the hem and cuffs to prevent cold airflow) for him.
And an equally fluffy (and cozy) fleece for her.
Any valentine would be happy to receive this Hydro Flask — a favorite among Strategist editors — in mood-lifting yellow.
A padded backpack from Topo Designs for carrying the aforementioned water bottle (and keys, masks, snacks, etc.).
In another midwinter pick-me-up, Saks Off Fifth is deducting an extra 20 percent from select sale items at checkout. While it isn’t cheap, you can snag this pink Mansur Gavriel tote (for you or your valentine) for a practically unheard-of 60 percent off.
Along with these surprisingly stylish rubber rain boots from Sam Edelman.
“If your dog is shivering, lifting paws up to avoid the cold, or burrowing under a blanket, they may be a candidate for some winter weather clothing,” Conrad Russo, blogger and owner of Pet Gear Lab, told us. If your dog has been showing any of the signs above, try this water-resistant puffer coat, which attaches with hook-and-loop fasteners at the neck and belly for a snug fit and is still in stock in sizes XS to XXL. (Note: The 55 percent discount applies automatically at checkout.)
And finally, if you’re planning on spending the next few snowy days at home in front of your computer, here’s a Logitech gaming mouse that has six customizable buttons and onboard memory.
