Amazon’s top-rated puffer is down to $27

Falling temperatures, wind chill, more rain and snow are starting to make simple dressing a bit confusing. If you want something less bulky than a giant down jacket, we’ve got a great deal: you can pick up the Amazon Essentials Packable Puffer Jacket for just $27, instead of $50 – that’s 45% off!

This top-rated jacket may look familiar. The fitted jacket has been compared to Patagonia’s Down Sweater or LL Bean’s Primaloft Packaway Jacket, two iconic but more expensive options known for their in-between weather. Take it from this shopper: “All that’s missing is a Patagonia label. Very nice cheap warm jacket. I can wear it while hiking and in not too cold climates. But I have also worn it on very cold days. Very versatile.”

The Amazon Essentials Packable Puffer Jacket is much more affordable yet just as satisfying. It’s a lightweight yet warm outer layer that’s suitable for a range of climates and “perfect for unpredictable weather,” as one of 10,000 five-star fans put it. The insulated jacket is warm and cosy, yet feather-light and even waterproof, so getting caught in a sudden downpour is no problem, especially as it comes with a built-in hood.

“Love this jacket so much! No need to spend more on other ‘name brand’ jackets,” wrote one five-star reviewer. “This has everything you want in a jacket: warm, comfortable and most importantly. .. it looks good on you!”

Another reviewer who complained about “nonstop rain this winter in Tennessee” claims that the beloved Amazon Essentials jacket has been mistaken for a similar – but more expensive (and hoodless!) option – the Eddie Bauer Women’s CirrusLite Down Jacket.

“Everyone thinks it’s Eddie Bauer’s, but the price is so much more reasonable,” says the fan. “I have several winter jackets, but none that are both light and warm and have a hood.”

The Amazon Essentials packable puffer jacket has contoured seams so it lays flat against your body with no bulk, not only to block wind, but also to keep it from getting in; elastic wrist cuffs also help. The jacket zips all the way up to your chin and even has zippered pockets to keep your phone, wallet or a pair of gloves safe and dry.

At the moment it is available in 14 colors and patterns, including black, anthracite, olive green, even camo and bright yellow.

The Amazon Essentials Packable Puffer Jacket is designed to pack easily into a carry bag so you can take it with you in case you get cold. It’s so light you’ll hardly notice you’re wearing it – and it’s versatile enough to use as a standalone jacket or even as an extra layer.

“This jacket is so incredibly warm that I’ve worn it in sub-zero temperatures and not felt one bit uncomfortable,” wrote one lucky shopper in a colder climate. “Pair it with a good pair of leggings, a good pair of snow boots and something to cover your nose/face and you’re good to go.”

“This is my go-to jacket in almost all weather conditions. I take it with me as a backpacker as it is lightweight and has a small storage bag,” wrote another customer. “It’s light enough for mild days and you can layer it for cool temperatures.”

A price-conscious customer got straight to the point. “Forget overpriced puffer jackets!” said the shopper, adding that the Amazon Essentials Packable Puffer Jacket “fits like a glove and gets lots of compliments!”
