Why We Love This Deal
Few kinds of jackets are as rugged while simultaneously cozy as those made from fleece. It’s layers like this that put brands like The North Face and Patagonia on the map, but they’re not the only ones making quality fleece outerwear. Fjallraven fans love its Vardag fleece jacket. It’s usually over $160, and like most Fjal gear, it rarely sees a discount, but Backcountry has one on sale for nearly half off.
Right now, this Fjallraven Vardag Pile Fleece Jacket is on sale for just $91 at Backcountry, with a 45% discount off its normal price tag of $165. This fleece is an easy pick for guys who want smart styling that showcases technical features without spending too much. It’s only on sale in one color, but it’s a good neutral that’ll look nice on anybody.
