More for Your Honey: Valentine’s Day Deals on Winter Wear, Running Shoes, and Bike Apparel

Nike: More Than 25% Off

Sure, your better half might like flowers and chocolate … but not as much as a new pair of kicks! Nike’s Valentine’s Day sale kicks off this week with an extra 25% off many products. Just use the code AFF25 at checkout.

It’s probably no coincidence that many of the discounted women’s running shoes come in the lovely reds, whites, and pinks of this amorous holiday.

Buy a pair of red-and-white Nike Air Max 90 Futura discounted to $112, or go all hot pink with the Nike Air Max 270, on sale for just $120. The Nike Air Max 90 offers several pink-inflected designs, and also comes with a 24% discount, making it just $98.

REI: Up to 50% Off

There’s really never a bad time to buy from REI, which pretty much always has killer deals happening. This February is no different, with huge discounts on “past-season winter styles” from Patagonia, Cotopaxi, The North Face, and other top-shelf outdoor brands.

In keeping with our Valentine’s theme this week, you can find heavily discounted apparel among Cotopaxi’s colorful, high-quality winter wear. Case in point: the Cotopaxi Capa Hybrid Insulated Hooded Jacket – Women’s. Two of its colors, seen above, are available for a 30% discount, bringing the cost to just $126. The same discount applies to the Cotopaxi Teca Calido Insulated Jacket – Men’s, available for just $98.

Pearl Izumi: Up to 75% Off

Sale alert! This is a code red, folks. Pearl Izumi has kicked up its winter clearance sale to omega level another notch. During this weekend, the final days of its sale, clearance items are available for a whopping 75% off. They’re practically giving away some of the industry’s favorite bike apparel, so this is the perfect time to snatch some gear for your special someone.

That’s cheaper than a decent bouquet of flowers. And it’s always better to buy something you can use to get all sweaty from … exercise. The woman in your life will love the Women’s Sugar Jersey, discounted to $40 from its original $70 price tag, or the Women’s Prospect Bra Tank, nearly half price at $34. And yes, both of them come in pink.

Shopping for your man? The Men’s Classic Jersey comes in several dope styles, and for just $48, it’s also almost half off the original price tag. So, what are you still doing here?

Helly Hansen: Up to 50% Off

Did you know that Saturday, February 10, is International Ski Patrol Day? Well, of course, you did. And every year, outdoor brand Helly Hansen donates 5% of all online sales on that day to ski patrol organizations. They also, as it happens, have a winter sale going.

Cool deals include the Women’s Juell Storm Rain Jacket, marked down 25% to just $165, or the Men’s HH Rapid Skiing Jacket, discounted by over 40% to just $200.

Saving money while supporting the ski patrollers who save lives every day on the slopes? Sounds like a win-win to me.

Field Station Moab: February Discounts

What’s even better than dinner and a movie? Going to Moab for some sweet biking, climbing, and hiking before returning to the communal campfire at Field Station Moab. The hotel chain aimed at outdoor adventure offers a guaranteed early check-in at 12 p.m. for weekday arrivals during February, as well as a $25 food and beverage credit for each day you stay.

For those heading to Moab this winter (or considering it), rates this month range from just $71 to $119 — not too shabby for a town where prices continue to skyrocket.

You can even bring your dog along for the trip. What’s better than an outdoor adventure Valentine’s celebration with a campfire, your pup, and your better half? Not much comes to mind…
