I'm all about shopping smarter, not harder. That said, I never turn down an opportunity to save on must-have items now that I know I'll pay more for later. Case in point? Winter jackets. Yes, I know summer is right around the corner, but brands like Columbia don't usually offer more than 50 percent off styles when you need it the most. So, my girl math is telling me that NOW is the best time to secure the brand's winter jackets—especially since the most coveted styles (including Suttle Mountain insulated jacket) are marked down for less than $65 when you use code EXTRA20 at checkout. But not for long...
The Columbia sale on sale ends on May 11, which means you don't have a lot of time to scoop up the Heavenly hooded jacket (which really lives up to its name, according to buyers) along with more of the brand's super cozy outerwear. But don't fret. I've rounded up three winter jackets you'll be glad to pull out next winter, and I'll tell you why.
