I live in Colorado — Land of Patagonia, North Face, Arc’teryx and more brands that sell coats priced in the hundreds. Alas, I am cheap, partly by necessity (I have college-age kids) and partly by temperament (what can I say, I wasn’t allowed to even glance at a non-sale rack growing up). So when I shop for winter coats, I look for well-rated options priced under $100. Enter the Moerdeng Ski Jacket. Not only is it a No. 1 Amazon bestseller, but it comes vetted and recommended by a fellow Yahoo editor. And right now, you can snag one for yourself for less than $50 ahead of Presidents’ Day — that’s almost 50% off.

Why is this a good deal? 💰

Now’s prime time for ski jacket shopping, so most aren’t even on sale. But you can score this cozy coat in 10 colors — including go-with-everything black and a couple shades of gray — for up to 50% off. That’ll save you $45 — enough to grab a hat, gloves and maybe even a scarf to complete your ensemble. Note that this is a limited-time discount that’ll end soon, so we’d recommend adding it to your cart, stat.

Why do I need this? 🤔

The winter weather-approved jacket is the perfect weight to keep you warm without overheating or feeling like a marshmallow as soon as the temperature dips. The jacket is waterproof and windproof, so you’ll stay nice and dry on the slopes if you take a tumble or decide to beat your personal best. Oh, and the inner lining is super cozy and fluffy, which is a major win.

Now that the tech stuff is out of the way, let’s talk about the most important thing: aesthetics. The jacket comes in 14 colors and patterns, including the aforementioned neutrals, but if you want to have a little more fun, it also comes in a rainbow of hues, as well as a couple camo designs.

And a final recommendation from someone who’s actually worn it around town and on the slopes and now calls it her “forever jacket.” Yahoo Shopping’s Executive Editor, Nicole Sforza, wrote, “I barely feel the weather, even on the craziest, coldest days. It’s just a great combination of being warm but not too warm. The faux fur is such a nice, comforting touch. A lot of ski jackets don’t have a furry lining, and it’s a missed opportunity, in my humble opinion. The coat is somehow adaptable, keeping you cozy when you need it without leaving you a sweaty mess.”

What reviewers say 💬

With over 28,000 five-star Amazon reviews, the Moerdeng has amassed quite a crowd of happy, toasty shoppers.

Pros 👍

“Better than North Face,” gushed a five-star fan. “I purchased this coat because of the style and the price. [It’s] very affordable and cozy. Great length and it’s not bulky at all! I went from having a North Face coat to now using this, and it’s better quality and comfort in my opinion.”

“Went hiking in Colorado at -11°F and -40°F wind chills,” exclaimed a second snow bunny. “Did not feel cold one bit. I was so shocked! I’m from Florida, and I thought I would freeze. Would 100% recommend this jacket to anyone. You can unzip the hood, so I was able to wear the jacket with no hood when I had to go into a meeting at work.”

“Bought this coat to stay warm in Alaska,” shared another five-star shopper. “So comfortable and well-made. I was toasty warm even out on the water in windy conditions among the glaciers!”

Cons 👎

While shoppers generally love the coat, some say you might want to size up.

“The jacket is very, very nice,” this reviewer said. “The only thing is that it runs a little small. I bought my normal size, and it’s a little snug!”

“Warm enough for central New York,” explained this final shopper. “Winter coats always seem to run a hair small, especially if you want to layer underneath. So order up from your normal shirt size.”
