Why We Love This Deal
REI recently dropped the prices of a handful of core jackets from brands like Arc'teryx, Patagonia, and The North Face as it continues to rotate the products on its shelves. There had been a generous amount of deals from Fjallraven as well, but it appears they've either sold out completely or have returned to full price. There was one exception: Fjallraven's Keb hoodie.
Fjallraven’s Keb Padded Insulated Hoodie remains in stock and on sale for $120, a 52% discount from its normal price of $250. This jacket is available at that price in a handsome maroon colorway, and REI’s price beats the prices at Fjallraven and Dick’s Sporting Goods for this layer. Lightweight yet warm, it’s an ideal option for chilly, unpredictable spring and fall weather, and it works well as a midlayer, too—you can easily get three seasons of use from this jacket.

What Shoppers Should Know
- Colorways Available: 1 on sale, 3 full price
- Sizes Available: S-2XL
- Shell Material: 100% polyester
- Insulation: G-Loft synthetic
- Best For: Shoulder season wear, or as a midlayer in colder, wet weather
The Keb Padded Insulated Hoodie is a full-zip jacket with a 100% polyester shell and lining, and it’s stuffed with 60-gram G-Loft synthetic insulation. It’s designed for low weight and packability, which means it makes a great travel jacket, since it can easily be stuffed in a suitcase or backpack. It's also really great for layering—it’ll slip under a shell jacket no problem.
The synthetic insulation retains heat even when damp, making this jacket a good pick for dicey spring weather, and the attached hood and stand collar provide all-around warmth for your head and neck. A zippered chest pocket, an interior mesh pocket, and two hand pockets provide useful storage (although they lack zippers, one shopper noted the hand pockets are deep enough to keep items reasonably secure). Finally, the two-way front zipper helps you get extra ventilation when you need it.

What Shoppers Are Saying
Shoppers have pointed out all kinds of highlights with the Keb jacket, noting that it's lightweight, feels incredibly soft, and is “seriously comfortable” to wear. Shoppers say it feels great on its own in temperatures down to the 40s Fahrenheit, and you can even use it for high-intensity activities down to the 20s. For casual wear in colder temps, reviewers say it works great as a midlayer.
Overall, the Keb is “super warm and well built” and “perfect for fall and spring,” shoppers said. Some advised that because the fit is a bit slim, you may need to size up, and the double zipper is a bit tricky at first: Just pull the bottom zipper all the way down and then pull the second zipper. Once you figure it out, it’s super easy to use.
REI’s on-sale Fjallraven jackets are selling out extremely quickly—this X-Latt jacket I covered not long ago vanished in a matter of days, and at 52% off, the Keb Padded Insulated Jacket is sure to follow. Scoop yours today before it’s totally sold out.
