Patagonia Micro Puff Sale
Save 20%: Last year, we awarded the Patagonia Micro Puff jacket our editor’s choice award for best synthetic down jacket. We were impressed by the weight, water-repellent nylon shell and use of a unique baffling construction that prevents insulation from bunching. The PlumaFill insulation ensures warmth during some of the coldest days. Right now, you can pick up this jacket and save over $50. Just use the code TAKE20MARCH to get 20-percent off the Micro Puff at Backcountry. The code is applicable to one full-priced item, so if the Micro Puff isn’t for you, there are plenty of other awesome jackets to choose from.
