Why We Love This Deal
Gearheads know that Arc’teryx doesn’t usually host big sales, but the brand posted some awesome deals for Black Friday, and they’re still live until the end of Cyber Monday. This includes discounts of up to 30% off top jackets, like the Beta AR, the Gamma MX, and the cozy Ralle Down Parka, among others. If there’s one jacket we’d recommend looking at, it’s the super warm, highly rated insulated Thorium down jacket, which is nearly $150 off and perfect for winter.
The Arc’teryx Thorium Jacket is on sale for as low as $315, up to a 30% discount from its normal price of $450. It’s available at that price in one colorway, Tatsu, which is a sort of olive green color, and an additional colorway, Black, is on sale for $360 (20% off). This is the last call for this sale, so if you want to grab a few pieces, make sure to do it before 11:59 p.m. tonight.
Arc’teryx Thorium Jacket, From $315 (was $450) at Arc’teryx
What Shoppers Should Know
- Colorways Available: Tatsu ($315), Black ($360)
- Sizes Available: S-2XL
- Body: 100% nylon
- Lining: 100% nylon
- Insulation: Polyester and 750 fill-power grey goose down
- Best For: Cold-weather hikes, everyday winter wear
The Thorium features both goose down and synthetic polyester insulation for best-of-both-worlds performance. The main body of the jacket is filled with 750-fill-power goose down, and it’s paired with synthetic fill in critical high-moisture areas (down loses its heat-trapping power when damp). That means you get reliable warmth, even if you sweat or get doused with wet snow. The exterior of the jacket is made from durable, lightweight 30-denier nylon ripstop, and it’s coated with a DWR finish to repel moisture and light precipitation (though you’ll need a waterproof shell if you’re facing heavier rain or snow).
Inside, its 20-denier nylon lining creates a smooth texture that makes it easy to pull on and off. A zippered chest pocket, dual zippered hand pockets, and interior dump pockets offer plenty of storage (a key highlight among reviewers), and although there’s no hood, the Thorium’s high insulated collar and cinchable hem provide welcome protection from icy winds.

What Shoppers Are Saying
Shoppers have been really impressed with the Thorium. The overall consensus among reviewers? It makes a great everyday jacket for cold weather, and its layer-friendly design works well with a shell for more adventurous pursuits.
Unlike typical puffer jackets, the Thorium is notably streamlined: Shoppers love its “super light” build and say it provides “warmth without bulk.” That svelte silhouette makes it easily adaptable. You can wear it on its own for daily use, and shoppers say it also “fits perfectly” under a waterproof shell. Overall, it’s “an ideal midweight insulating layer,” one shopper remarked.
If you know Arc’teryx, you know the brand’s apparel always sells out fast when it goes on sale, so act fast: Grab your Thorium jacket for 30% off today before the sale ends.
