Amazon EssentialsMen's Packable Lightweight Water-Resistant Puffer Jacket (Available in Big & Tall)

Cheap, effective, highly recommended
Ok first we have to remember that this is a 25 dollar jacket. That being said, I am very happy with it. Living in the Colorado mountains I bought this as an in between jacket to wear when my heavy coat is too warm, and a hoodie is too cold.It is warm enough and is perfect for the job. However today it was about 30 degrees and very windy, and this jacket cannot handle that. I would recommend only wearing it above freezing temperatures.The fit. I am 6 foot, nearly 200 lbs. waist 32, shoulders pretty broad. I run into this problem with most clothing where I have to buy Large to fit my shoulders, but the waist is way too big. This jacket is cut to fit most body types, but if you’re similar to me then you probably deal with this all the time anyway. Not a big deal, but I’m definitely glad I didn’t order a medium because Large is just enough for my shoulders.Anyway I can honestly recommend this jacket, it’s very cheap, packs nicely into the included bag, and does the job just as well as a packable north face I used to have

An impressive bargain on a good puffer jacket IMO...
A good puffer jacket that punches way above it's less-than-$30 price tag IMO. It's not as thick as an expensive mountain-type super-duper puffer but it still does the job in keeping me comfortable in chilly weather, and can be layered underneath for colder temps. It's lightweight, warm, very comfortable, has secure zipper side pockets, and it's nylon shell is water resistant. Plus it comes in various colors I find attractive... As an inexpensive attractive jacket I can throw on and off quickly in chilly weather this puffer dies just what I want it to do! ~And the price is certainly right too, IMO.

Good cheaper alternative but not for heavy use
I bought for the purpose of travel and outdoor use in those times where temps can change drastically from 70F in the morning down to 40F at night.I got this on sale for $20 which was a far cry from $60-120 asking price of other packable down jackets. For the price, it's much warmer than I thought and has well thought out features. So far I've worn this in 42F weather, coldest and just going on a walk I was breaking a bit of a sweat with it half zipped. It has 2 exterior pockets and 2 internal pockets. Personally I wouldn't put too much in these, as I can really feel the thing stretch and drag down. Just gloves, hat, phone etc. should be fine, nothing like a can of soda or something. Water resistance is what you expect for thin nylon stuff, a few drops is fine, actual rain, get an umbrella or an actual waterproof layer. It's also pretty windproof, took it out in the aftermath of a pseudo hurricane and didn't feel the wind.It packs down pretty well into a 6 inch long 3 inch or so bundle but nothing like the high tech hiking stuff, I just wish there was a shorter loop so I can carabiner it to my pack easier but seems like it was intended to be carried like an umbrella. Also wish it packed into itself rather than have a bag which may get lost one day. The material imo isn't very durable, I have no rips yet, but I'm not confident and think if I rub on something the wrong way it's going to tear. The stitching seems fine so far, and doesn't seem to be leaking filler yet.Sizing wise, I have a 45 chest and usually wear XL, but this is kinda big even for an XL, maybe because they were antiicpating you layer something like a thick sweater underneath. It is also a bit long for my torso, about 2-3 inches more than I need to sit at my waist. I have 23 sleeves and that fits perfect.I don't expect this to last a long time, but it's useful for the time I'll have it.12/28 edit:So I just used this exactly for what I bought it for because of the huge winter storm that swept across the north and east coast US. Temps went from nearly 60 degrees in daytime all the way down to 23 by late afternooon with extremely high winds that were throwing doors around and knocked some street signs off their mounts, and it was perfect. I just had a t-shirt underneath and on top of this was a gymax waterproof windproof jacket. Again my only complain might be if the material doesn't last and it's a bit long.

Patagonia dupe jacket is great.
Patagonia dupe jacket. I just took this jacket on a trip to a cold climate and was very happy with it. It packs down small and it’s lightweight, comfortable, all while being warm. I would buy this item again in another color. Fit was true to size. Highly recommend this jacket.

GOOD ENOUGH FOR THIS GUY
Warm, soft, true to size, 3XL fit my 5'11" 265 frame easily with room to layer, no frills - just a great lightweight quality travel jacket, price won't break the bank. Good job Amazon.UPDATE: 07/31/2025Bought a 2nd one, same size and color, in case one is damaged beyond repair. Like this so much paired with a lightweight hoodie, light, comfortable and very warm, perfect for winter and cold weather, also, perfect for travel since puffer jacket can be stowed in luggage without taking much room. Took advantage of sale price and discount coupon.
