Why we love this deal
When you’re on the move, comfort is key, and although a lot of active wear on the market seems similar if not identical to one another, when it comes to the right pair of leggings or a sweatshirt, not all clothes are created equal. Whether you’re a devoted jogger who is up and running each morning, or prefer to wear your active apparel while you get things done around the house or run errands, you want clothing that keeps you comfortable, able to move easily, and most importantly, affordable. And while some of your favorite go-to brands like Under Armour or Nike often have costly price tags attached to the latest releases, once in a while you get lucky and stumble across a super great sale.Â
Right now, you can get the Nike Sportswear Tech Fleece Windrunner for 29% off. Originally priced at $135, you can get your own jacket for just $95.Â

Why do shoppers love it?
Gone are the days where workout gear was only worn for a sweat session. Now, it’s cute enough where it’s functional for fitness but wearable even when you are getting your heart rate up. This full-zip hoodie, which Nike calls “the future of fleece”, is made with recycled polyester and organic cotton that’s super soft and smooth on both the inside and outside of the jacket. And because the jacket is made with recycled materials, the creation of it actually reduces carbon emissions, water, and chemical inputs by about 30%, compared to traditional blends made from polyester and conventionally grown cotton, so you’re making a sustainable purchase when you add this to your wardrobe.Â
The plush material is thick enough to provide warmth during chillier temps, but is still lightweight enough where you won’t be weighed down by it when you’re out and about. The windrunner has two side pockets, one on each side, that zipper shut. They’re perfect for holding small items like phones, keys, or your wallet. With dropped shoulder seams and elastic cuffs, the jacket has a “relaxed feel” where you can move your arms and wrists freely but still keep cold air and weather from getting inside the closed jacket. The large, paneled hood protects the face from the elements, and adds an extra layer of warmth.Â

In honor of celebrating 10 years of tech fleece, this zip-up was created in a color palette inspired by natural minerals. In addition to this vibrant lilac ice shade, the jacket is also available in bright pink, burgundy, black, dark grey, dark pink, dark green, and indigo. It comes in standard sizes XS through XXL, or size 0 through 22. There is also typically a plus size option, but that is currently sold out and unavailable. If you end up loving this look, you’ll be thrilled to learn that there’s even a matching jogger, sold separately, to match most of them.Â
