Why We Love This Deal
The North Face knows the great outdoors, which is why you can always rely on the brand's jackets for protection. While they come with a deservedly premium price, REI has a ton of deals on them right now, including this waterproof, packable rain jacket that's half off, just in time for spring.
The North Face Alta Vista Rain Jacket is on sale for $70, which is $70 off the original $140 price tag. This top-rated jacket boasts over 310 five-star ratings at REI and has been purchased more than 400 times this week. We'd recommend acting fast with this jacket, as its two on-sale colors, sumac and bark mist, have low inventory for most of their sizes, which range from S to 3XL.

Spring showers won’t get you wet this year, as this waterproof rain jacket has a seam-sealed shell that always keeps moisture out. It also has loads of pockets that make it great for everyday wear and hikes, as REI actually recommends this jacket for active, outdoorsy purposes. As for comfort, this jacket has pit zips for extra air and can be loosened up when necessary.
In terms of fit, it’s pretty standard. That’ll make it right for shoppers of all sizes who might be looking to stay dry on the trails. Better yet, it’s packable, meaning you don’t have to worry about hooking it to your hiking pack or carrying it since it can fold into itself.
We’ve been tracking this jacket from The North Face for a long time, and we still thought it was worth the dough when it was $100 last September. For a limited time only, it’s even less, so don’t miss out because the other retailers that carry it are not matching the price at the moment.

What Shoppers Are Saying
World travelers will be put at ease with this rain jacket. “I needed a packable rain jacket for a Europe trip, and this one fits the bill,” one reviewer said. “So far, it sheds water great. Has two interior ‘stuff’ pockets, and can be packed into either one for a small, compact, packable pouch.”
“I bought the Alta Vista Jacket primarily for a trip to Alaska, knowing I'd need a reliable rain jacket, and this one did not disappoint,” said another traveler. “It kept me dry for six consecutive rainy days. The jacket has ample space, allowing me to comfortably fit a couple of layers underneath.”
