This award-winning jacket has a permanent home in our editors' closets—and for good reason. The active insulation in the Ventrix ($99; 50 percent off) is made to work with you, dumping heat as you go through gill-like vents cut into the synthetic insulation that stretches throughout the whole jacket.
The face fabric is made to glide easily under your shell for perfect layering when the weather turns. If you prefer to wear the jacket alone, the fabric is treated with a DWR coating to resist water and snow. You can snag the women's version in last season's color for a staggering 50 percent off right now on Backcountry. Also, the men's version is on sale for 30 percent off.
