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

Wait until after Christmas. Steep and Cheap is your friend!

Columbia?

These Puffy Jackets are pretty affordable.

Mountain Hardwear, Marmot or equivalent.

A bit more difficult to find at under $100 during winter season, but doable with searches.

On various other forums this one gets pretty good reviews especially when you look at the price of these. They do run small from what everyone says so size up but for the price its a heck of a deal.

Camofire has had this one on sale the last couple weeks for $99 bucks I think it is:

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.

Haha. Didn’t see that coming.

If you want super warm, firstlite Chamberlin.

midwayusa usually has something

What does 'welded' mean when fastening fabrics together?

The Black Ovis says 'welded' ? to keep the down in place.

Sewn/glued/heated together?

BHA jacket

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

These are hard to beat for the money

Costco has them have several wear them till they shed feathers and buy a new one around $30

I have a couple.

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

Ditto on the Sierra Trading Post selection

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.

Yup Eddie Bauer. Best $29 ever spent.

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

I've been more than satisfied with several Eddie Bauer down jackets over the years. The most recent one being the $29 'cheapie' from Costco.

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.

for the money great jacket

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.

Plus I just like reposting the picture of my son and his moose!

Second for the 32 degree puffys. Plus there on sale right now for like 20 bucks.
