Presidents’ Day isn’t just for discounted furniture—it’s also the perfect time to refresh your winter wardrobe without breaking the bank. Brands like Athleta, Columbia, and L.L. Bean are slashing prices on everything from insulated jackets to thermal leggings, making it easier than ever to stay warm while saving big.
From Athleta’s 40% off sale on its signature thermal layers to Columbia’s up to 50% discounts on puffer vests, the deals span activewear, outdoor gear, and everyday essentials. Even The North Face and REI are offering steep reductions on winter-specific collections, including waterproof boots and fleece-lined pants. These promotions often include free shipping, turning a seasonal upgrade into a no-brainer.
The impact of these sales extends beyond your wallet—they encourage smarter shopping habits by incentivizing bulk purchases or upgrading older, worn-out pieces. For example, a $150 jacket might drop to $90, allowing you to invest in a higher-quality option or splurge on an extra pair of gloves. This is particularly valuable for professionals balancing remote work and outdoor commutes.
“Presidents’ Day is one of the best times to stock up on winter essentials,” says retail analyst Sarah Chen. “Brands clear out last season’s inventory, and discounts on technical fabrics—like Gore-Tex or merino wool—can save consumers hundreds over time.” Chen notes that bundling items like a base layer, mid-layer, and outer shell often yields even greater savings, making it ideal for layering systems.
To maximize savings, set price alerts for specific items and compare deals across retailers. Many brands also offer extended returns, so you can test gear before committing. Whether you’re a weekend hiker or a city dweller, these discounts make it easier to build a functional, stylish winter arsenal—without the holiday rush. Don’t let the cold weather catch you unprepared; act fast before these deals disappear.
