Why We Love This Deal
Warm, insulated down jackets might be a hallmark for winter, but during shoulder season, it's all about the shirt jacket. Shirt jackets can act as shirts, and they can be used as jackets as well—it just depends on the weather, and maybe your mood. It seems as though every menswear brand has some version of this do-it-all layer, but there's one from Quicksilver that recently went on sale at Nordstrom Rack—it's almost 70% off
The Quiksilver Cold Water Repellent Snap Shacket is on sale for $30, a 66% discount from its normal price of $89. This shirt-jacket hybrid is available in one colorway at that price, but there’s a generous size range in stock. Nordstrom Rack has the best price for this shirt—it beats the price at Quiksilver and Macy’s.

The Cold Snap Shacket is a bit different from the heavy, soft shacket hybrids you’d pull on in the fall and winter. Instead of a heavy-duty cotton or fleece fabric, it’s made from a lightweight and sturdy nylon textile, which makes it a better pick for packability and milder spring and summer conditions.
Despite Nordstrom Rack’s name for this layer, it is not water-resistant, but based on my experience with similar nylon fabrics, I’d expect it to dry quickly. The snap-button front closure allows you to pull it on and off easily and get extra ventilation when you need it, and the dual snap-button chest pockets and side pockets offer ample storage for small items. It also has snap-button cuffs, so you can roll up the sleeves.
It may also be worth noting that Nordstrom Rack appears to have mislabeled the name of this style—Quiksilver calls it the Cold Snap Shacket.

So when would you wear this? Anytime you need an extra bit of warmth or sun protection. Its lightweight yet sturdy design makes the Cold Snap ideal for active days outdoors while hiking or camping (you can easily roll it up and toss it in a pack). In addition, its quick-drying fabric makes it a great choice for activities on the water, and I’m sure fishermen will appreciate the assortment of pockets for holding tackle items.
The Cold Water Repellent Snap Shacket is going to sell quickly as shoppers revamp their wardrobes for spring—especially now that it’s marked down to just $30. Scoop yours today before this deal disappears.
