Best cheap puffy jackets?
|
Hello people, I'm wanting to get a puffy jacket but I don't want to spend over $50. I know none of them are going to be as good as a $200 dollar one from one of the leading outdoor clothing retailers (definitely not going to be as warm). I just want one that will keep me moderately warm but the warmer the better. I'm not one to care about the clothing I wear for climbing; I pretty much look homeless when I go climbing. Does anyone have any recommendations for a specific cheap puffy jacket? |

Uniqlo is usually a pretty good cost/quality tradeoff. They might also be having end-of-winter sales around now. |

Eddie Bauer. I bought the “cirruslite” models for my kids and they are good quality for the money. |

REI Co-Op I've been pretty happy with. More than $50 but about half of TNF |

More than $50 but LL Bean has the 850 jackets and down sweaters in certain colors on sale. Use code DEAL25 and it brings them down to 140-160ish for hooded. I would never pay full price but at the sale price and with the code it has solid specs. Way nicer than my wife's eddie bauer but EB still does lifetime warranty so there is that to consider. |

Eddie Bauer puffy jackets go on sale pretty often. REI, Backcountry, and Moosejaw have their own brands that usually go on sale pretty often as well. |

I just bought a few EB First Ascent jackets. Awesome coats. Super warm. Well made. Got a good deal on them. Picked up a bunch of stuff yesterday as they are running a nice sale. |

Thank you for the responses everybody! I just ordered an Eddie Bauer puffy from ebay for $30. They are having a special today where you get $10 off orders of $30 or more! :) |

If anyone else is looking or you need one in the future check out My Trail (the resurrection of GoLite if anyone remembers them) https://mytrailco.com/collections/mens-down-jackets $60 for a 700 fill puffy, I've had my GoLite for 5 years and its still going strong! |

I use a $20 Swiss+tech puffy. Packable and pretty warm and dirt cheap for when it inevitably gets f'd up. |

I see them advertising heavy on my FB feed. Always though it was gimicky like those free camping pillow and hammock ads. Good to know its solid stuff! |

I only have a pair of their running shorts, but their stuff is pretty well-made for the price. |

The Uniqlo jackets are shockingly good for the price. |
