REI’s blowout Arc’teryx sale just keeps on going. Although the initial discounts rolled out weeks ago, new markdowns continue to drop, especially if you’re looking for a durable and protective new jacket. Right now, we’re pining for the Arc’teryx Sabre, which just dropped in price by $150 in multiple colorways, to finish up ski and snowboard season.
The Arc’teryx Sabre Jacket is on sale for $600, a 20% discount from its normal price of $750. This heavy-duty waterproof shell is tough enough for backcountry skiing and snowboarding, and it’s available in two colorways—Black and Solaris/Sequoia—at the discounted price. Surprisingly, it’s still available in a generous size range, small up to 2XL, but if there’s one thing we’ve learned about sales on Arc’teryx gear, it’s that sizes sell out lightning fast, so don’t wait to get yours.

The Sabre offers serious all-weather performance for athletes and adventurers who get after it in the backcountry. It features a three-layer (3L) design with a Gore-Tex waterproof membrane for dependable protection from rain, snow, and wind, and its 80-denier face fabric offers exceptional durability. Inside, the Gore C-Knit backer textile offers a soft and comfortable feel (no plasticky texture), and on the outside, a DWR finish causes water to bead up and roll off the jacket, rather than soaking into it. Its roomy fit makes it great for layering, and it’s built with several features that are perfect for skiing and snowboarding, including a helmet-compatible hood, a snow skirt to keep powder from shooting up into the jacket, and a RECCO reflector, which can help rescuers locate you in an emergency.
One REI shopper called the Sabre a “solid jacket for skiing and snowboarding” and appreciated its “roomy fit for layers underneath.” Another called it “the best coat” and went as far as calling it “bombproof.” A third reviewer said it’s “phenomenal” and “keeps the snow and wind out.”

“This jacket is amazing!” said another shopper. “From cold days to windy or even sunny days, it’s fully windproof and waterproof.”
With its 3L Gore-Tex waterproofing, the Arc’teryx Sabre will give you lockdown protection from the elements, and it’s a layer you can trust when you’re venturing well off the beaten path. At $150 off, you know this jacket will be a hot seller—grab yours ASAP before your size and preferred colorway disappear.
