Columbia is hosting a huge winter sale with up to 40% off apparel. Shop my favorite deals on jackets, fleeces, vests and more ...

There's nothing worse than realizing the jacket you thought would get you through the winter can't quite handle the cold.

Columbia's holiday sale has plenty of great deals to explore ranging from hoodies and fleeces to vests and jackets starting at just $25. Many of the items also make for perfect presents.
