There is nothing cool about how cold it has been this week at BC. I just recently got a new winter coat, and was shocked at how expensive it is investing in a quality jacket that actually is going to keep me warm when it’s 20 degrees outside. Finding the right winter coat is kind of a hassle, but there are some great places to go to find deals that can save you some time and money, while still getting popular brand names and quality winter coats! All of the following have online stores, so if you can’t get to their locations (like Sierra Trading Post, which is only in Indiana), you still have access to their great deals!
Moosejaw.com
Moosejaw is an online retail store where you can find some of the best winter wear brands out there for very reasonable prices. They carry BC collegiette favorites like Patagonia and North Face, as well as Black Diamond, Mountain Hard Wear, Marmot, Burton, and literally hundreds more. They frequently have discounts on their already discounted apparel, and even offer a price matching system. If you find something elsewhere, on the web or in store, that has a better price than Moosejaw, they’ll match it!
Sierra Trading Post
An affiliate of TJX, Sierra Trading Post promises to save you up to 70% or more on name brands. They sell anything from sweaters and jackets to base layers and long underwear. Some of their top selling brands include Carhart, Columbia Sportswear, and Smartwool They also send emails to notify you about online sales.
Dicks Sporting Goods
With the holiday season in full swing, a lot of stores have great deals on outwear. Dick’s Sporting Goods has a wide range of brands, like Burton, North Face, Columbia, and Spyder that are all reasonably priced, and they offer tips and advice for how to make the best purchase. They also offer a pricing guide and explanations of common materials, weights, and fill numbers in winter jackets.
T.J. Maxx
T.J. Maxx is a magical place. Aside from having everything you could ever want and more at the best prices ever, they do have a section of winter wear that is always stocked with top brands and always has the best prices. T.J. Maxx also gets new products all the time, so keep checking back and you will increase your chances of getting a great jacket!
Groupon
I can’t attest to the quality of a winter coat you would buy on Groupon, but the pricing is sometimes just too good to pass up. And, the great part about sites like Groupon is that they are constantly updating their selections, so checking back every day is sure to give you new options all the time.
Stay warm!
