HERO DEAL — L.L.Bean Men's Bean's Down Hooded Jacket, Colorblock — $84.99 at L.L.Bean. Bean's own 650-fill DownTek water-repellent down jacket at $84.99 vs $170.00 — 50% off. Fleece-lined collar, sale colors only (Burgundy/Nautical Navy and Emerald Spruce/Black). 4.1 stars across 151 reviews. Fit is slightly fitted — size up if you're between sizes. Men's size M (Regular) was selectable with add-to-bag enabled this morning. The catch: sale colors only — regular colors are back at $170. One national roundup noted stock is starting to thin, so popular sizes may not last the day. L.L.Bean returns: 1-year return window (sale items included), $6.50/package by mail or UPS, free in-store.

L.L.Bean Men's Mountain Classic Full-Zip Jacket — $59.99 at L.L.Bean. The heritage Bean shell at $59.99 vs $79.95 — 25% off. Windproof, water-resistant SUPPLEX — the kind of fall layer you throw over a sweater. 4.3 stars across 242 reviews. The $59.99 price is the Orange Red sale color only; Black and Nautical Navy sit at $79.95. Men's size M (Regular) was selectable with add-to-bag enabled this morning. The catch: it's an UNINSULATED shell — plan to layer underneath for real cold. Slightly fitted, so check the size chart if you're between sizes. Same 1-year L.L.Bean return policy.

The North Face Aconcagua 3 Down Jacket — $139.73 at REI Outlet. TNF's non-hooded down jacket at $139.73 vs $200.00 — 30% off, in Summit Navy. A real cold-weather layer at an outlet price, flagged as a discontinued closeout ('HURRY' on the page), so when the remaining sizes go, they're gone. The catch: M and L are already sold out in both colors — Summit Navy has S, XL, and XXL left (Smoked Pearl only has XXL). Closeout, so exchanges are limited. REI returns: members get 365 days, non-members 90 days — Outlet items carry the same policy as REI.com. Link: https://www.rei.com/product/C01854/the-north-face-aconcagua-3-down-jacket-mens
