I’m looking for an affordable puffy jacket…. Lightweight would be good…. Full zip with hood. I need it for an insulation layer under my rain gear when fishing in my bass boat. Color not too important but natural colors would be nice…. Less than $100? Thx

These Puffy Jackets are pretty affordable.
Thoroughly enjoying Alaska since 2001.

Mountain Hardwear, Marmot or equivalent.
A bit more difficult to find at under $100 during winter season, but doable with searches.

I have the decathlon and have been happy with it. It's the only puffy I have, so my experience is limited, but I have a hard time seeing it beat for the price.

What does 'welded' mean when fastening fabrics together?
The Black Ovis says 'welded' ? to keep the down in place.
Sewn/glued/heated together?

No hood but the Swiss tech puffy at Walmart is pretty nice. Low $30s.

I have a couple.
More like a "sweater" layer than an actual "puffy". Cheap and work well.

I ordered one of the above mentioned Black Ovis jackets. It arrived yesterday. Perfect. Today is "cold" (for Tucson) and rainy. Put it on as i exercised the dog out back..very very happy with it. Extremely light. Very comfy. Seems very warm, for I'd guess 25, maybe 30 or so degrees.

Costco has them have several wear them till they shed feathers and buy a new one around $30 Yup Eddie Bauer. Best $29 ever spent.

The Costco here only has Eddie Bauer in women's styles.

I’ve been very happy with my Decathlon. Sold a ghost whisperer after I got it. Not the absolute lightest but close enough for me. Probably the best if you’re if counting ounces and want down instead of synthetic.

I will third or fourth or whatever number we are on for the Eddie Bauer puffys. On sale they are a good deal. I also cruise the sales on Sierra Trading Post, camofire, steep and cheap etc. This time of year you could pick one up at most places on sale. Picture of Eddie Bauer puffy in action: Plus I just like reposting the picture of my son and his moose!
