Why We Love This Deal
If you’ve been procrastinating on your holiday shopping (or getting essentials for yourself), zip over to REI post haste: The retailer just launched its Last Minute Gifts sale with discounts up to 30% (or more, if you know where to look) on select items from now until Dec. 22. Among the deals are these top-rated snow pants with a major markdown just in time for ski and snowboard season.
The REI Co-op Powderbound Insulated Snow Pants are on sale for $111, a 30% discount from their normal price of $159. These pants are discounted across three colorways with lots of sizes in stock. Better yet, the bib-style version and matching insulated jacket are also on sale, so you can grab all your snowsports outerwear at a bargain price before you hit the mountain.

What Shoppers Should Know
- Colorways Available: 3, all on sale
- Sizes Available: S-3XL, M-2XL Tall
- Shell: Nylon
- Insulation: 40g polyester
- Lining: Recycled polyester
The Powderbound pants feature a durable nylon shell with robust two-layer waterproofing to block out snow, slush, and moisture, so you stay dry even in the gnarliest winter weather. They’re stuffed with 40g polyester synthetic insulation to lock in body heat, and the recycled polyester lining gives them a smooth, comfortable feel.
Adjustable Velcro tabs at the waist help you dial in the fit so they stay firmly in place, and although they’re not overly baggy, the articulated knees and gusseted crotch allow you to move freely while wearing them. They have built-in elastic gaiters at the bottom to wrap over your boots and lock out snow, and when you warm up, you can unzip the thigh vents to dump hot air and regulate your temperature.
These REI pants compare favorably to other top sellers. Like these popular Helly Hansen pants, they feature reliable waterproofing, and like these pants from The North Face, they’re stuffed with synthetic insulation. The key factor: The Powderbound pants are still less expensive than most other top sellers in the category.
