Black Friday winter clothes

What the winter clothing selection includes

During the promotion, the warm clothes on sale are sorted by type of item, for men, women, and children. Whether you're looking for a jacket to walk to work, a fleece for hiking, or gloves for skiing, it all starts here.

Seven pages to stay warm this winter

• Jackets and jumpers: ski jackets, softshells, and insulated jackets.
• Down jackets: either down or synthetic insulation, with or without a hood.
• Fleeces: the ultimate mid-layer, from thin models to thick ones.
• Gloves: city gloves, hiking gloves, and ski gloves.
• Beanies: knitted, fleece-lined or with pom-poms.
• Parka coats: long and covering, for the coldest days.
• Waterproof jackets: lightweight shells for rain, snow, and wind.

Down or synthetic: the down jacket match-up

Down offers the best balance of warmth and weight, and can be packed into a bag. Its weak point: moisture, which causes it to lose loft. Synthetic insulation keeps you a bit less warm for the same weight, but it retains warmth even when wet, dries quickly, and is easy to machine wash.

For the city and dry cold, a down jacket is a pleasure. For humid mountains or intense activity, synthetic is more forgiving.

Layering rather than piling on

A fleece under a waterproof jacket is often better than a single big coat: you can adjust throughout the day by adding or removing a layer. A lightweight down jacket can also serve as a mid-layer beneath a shell in extreme cold.

Think about your extremities: a good portion of the feeling of cold comes from your hands, ears, and neck. A suitable beanie and gloves significantly extend the comfort of an average jacket.

CMP, Helly Hansen, Peak Mountain: where the warmth comes from

CMP, a brand of the Italian family group Fratelli Campagnolo, is known for its softshells and fleeces suitable for both hiking and everyday wear. Dare 2B, a British brand from the Regatta group, produces insulated jackets and fleeces designed for winter sports.

Helly Hansen has built its reputation on protection against the Norwegian climate, with its insulated jackets and LIFA base layers. Peak Mountain offers parkas, down jackets, and fleeces for the whole family. And La Sportiva provides technical insulated and waterproof jackets designed for the mountains.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I find a warm down jacket for cheap?

On the down jackets page. To estimate the warmth of a down model, check its fill power and the amount of insulation listed on the product sheet.

Parka or down jacket for winter in the city?

The parka covers the thighs and provides better protection against wind and rain, ideal for walking or cycling. The down jacket is lighter and warmer for the same weight. Discount parkas are on the parkas page.

Cheap fleece: what thickness to choose?

A thin fleece is worn as a mid-layer during activity, while a thick fleece serves as a jacket in dry and cold weather. The weight, when indicated, helps to compare: the higher it is, the warmer the fleece. Everything is on the fleece page.

How to revive the waterproofing of a jacket?

Wash it with a gentle detergent that does not contain fabric softener, and then apply a suitable water-repellent product. If the label allows, a low-temperature tumble dry can reactivate the treatment. Discount jackets are on the waterproof jackets page.

How to find the right glove size?

Measure the circumference of your hand at the knuckles, excluding the thumb, and compare it to the brand's size guide. A glove that’s too tight restricts circulation and keeps you less warm. The selection is on the gloves page.
