Our editors know a thing or two about winter jackets for extreme cold, so if you're in the market for a new one, you've landed on the right page. Winter is coming up *fast* (this year, it officially starts on Dec. 21), and I suggest scooping up one of our top picks for super warm outerwear before you get caught in the cold. Behold, the REI Co-op Norseland down parka ($229; $160). Not only is it a favorite of PureWow readers (who bought it up left and right last winter), it's also on sale—finally! Yes, the best-selling down jacket is currently marked down to $160 (that's almost $70 off, people) from now through Nov. 25, during the REI Co-op Winter Sale, so now is the time to pounce.
