Why We Love This Deal
It’s raining fleeces: Over the past few weeks, we’ve spotted major deals on fleece outerwear all over the internet, including everything from $8 fleeces at Old Navy to on-sale picks from Columbia, Vuori, and Patagonia. Now, a top-rated fleece jacket from Cotopaxi is getting the discount treatment.
The Cotopaxi Tempa Fleece Hooded Jacket is on sale for $60, a 52% discount from its normal price of $125. This fleece is available across three colorways at that price, though the Fatigue green shade has the best size range remaining. REI’s deal is also the best on the internet for this jacket—at $60, it beats the prices at Cotopaxi and Nordstrom.

What Shoppers Should Know

The Tempa is a full-zip jacket, which makes it even more versatile than typical pullover fleeces. The zip closure makes it easy to get off and on—always helpful for layering—and allows you to boost ventilation when you’re working hard. It’s made from a recycled polyester-spandex fabric, so it’ll stretch with you as you move, and shoppers particularly like its svelte look and feel. The inside is puffy, soft fleece that delivers great warmth and a cozy texture, while the outside has a smooth finish. The smooth exterior gives the Tempa a more low-key, less chunky aesthetic than old-school fleeces like the Patagonia Synchilla or Retro-X.
It's also constructed with flatlock seams (where fabric edges are stitched end to end, rather than overlapping), which reduces bulk and the potential for chafing. The fitted hood closely wraps your head for warmth and protection from icy winds, and the whole jacket has a Polygiene treatment to prevent odors. A pair of zippered hand pockets offers useful storage while you’re trekking or running errands.

What Shoppers Are Saying
Shoppers reported the Tempa is “very comfortable and very warm” and has a “great fit” as well. Several shoppers appreciated its balanced design: It’s thick enough to keep you warm, but not so thick it’ll make you overheat in milder weather. That puts this fleece firmly in performance territory, and shoppers have used it for all kinds of outdoor adventures—even offshore fishing. No matter where they wore it, shoppers also appreciated its “good quality” materials and construction. This is a jacket you can expect to last through many seasons.
Finding a Cotopaxi jacket like the Tempa Fleece on sale with a deep discount and a full size range in stock is incredibly rare, and you can bet REI shoppers will be all over it. Many size and colorway combos are already sold out; snag yours ASAP before this fleece disappears.
