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

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.

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

Nice, lightweight quality jacket. Nice to be able to find a large and tall jacket that fits well. Reasonably priced. Fast delivery. Nice variety of colors. Larry E

This is a great jacket. It is super easy to fold back into the bag when you are done. I like that is does not have a hood and does not add extra bulk to the jacket. I ordered a size up so I can wear it over my other jacket and it is perfect. Would definilty purchase again.

This Amazon Essentials puffer jacket is a solid pick—lightweight, warm, and packs down easily into its own pouch. Great for travel or layering on chilly days. The fit is true to size, and the water-resistant fabric holds up in light rain. Definitely worth it for the price!​

Very comparable to other jackets at twice the price. It’s comfortable in 30-40 degree whether, and with a sweatshirt underneath, even colder. It’s comfortable with plenty of good size pockets, two inside deep pockets and two outside zipper pockets. Comes with a small carry bag, and can be folded and easily put in a backpack, etc.

I purchased two of these jackets as a lightweight backpackable jacket for our 12-day Philmon trek in the Sangre Cristo mountains of Northern New Mexico. During our trek, we had 2.5 days of rain in altitudes over 9,000 feet. The lowest temps were mid to high 40's, windy and wet! These jackets did an outstanding job of keeping us both dry and warm. In fact, during one particularly heavy rain, I discovered my old Army ACU wet weather top was in fact no longer waterproof. I pulled off the top and this jacket which I had underneath my wet weather top was soaked in the front, back, and arms. However that moisture/wetness never touched my skin. This jacket also served as part of my pillow setup and in spite of the exterior being wet, and in the absence of NNM's low humidity, the jacket dried quickly, and I was able to use it as my pillow. I would without hesitation recommend, and purchase these jackets again. When I say "Philmont Approved", just know that means more than someone's opinion after taking it out of the package and posing in front of a mirror. To recap the benefits:1) Lightweight: The jacket packs easily into the included bag and was attached to a carabiner on the outside of my backpack. It stayed secure through bushwhacking trails, hiking through trees that tried to grab everything, and scaling up and down some steep mountainsides. My son kept his bag attached to the loop in the jacket and that worked very well for him.2) Water resistant: We both wore these during a few days of sprinkling rain and 2.5 days of legit rain- rain. Water never breached the inside of the jacket and made contact with our skin. That is a win!3) Warm: This jacket kept us warm in the very cool mountain air of Northern New Mexico, both dry and wet weather. I'm not going to tell you that this jacket will keep you warm in freezing temps because we did not encounter that kind of weather. But I will tell you that when it was in the mid 40's and my sleeping bag zipper was broken, and I was quite cold, I put this jacket on (and lost part of my pillow) but was warm and toasty!4) Quality: The zippers work great. Zippered external pockets were a huge plus to reduce the chance of important things (like snacks or other small doodads that I used) from falling out and being lost. The deep interior pockets were great for holding my phone (for pictures). The only issue I had was that I tore the loop out. It was dark and I was having a hard time getting the bag unknotted and broke the loop by force. It wasn't a failure on the jacket - it was a failure on my patience!5) Dries quickly: After it got wet underneath my "notta wet weather top" it dried quickly and was able to fulfill it's purpose as part of my pillow setup.Summary: This is a solid choice for a lightweight outer shell for cooler weather, and will work even if there is some rain in the forecast. It is lightweight and breathable enough to work as a sub-layer if you have a lightweight rain jacket to help break the wind. I did not notice the wind getting through this jacket, so I believe it serves well in that regard. Also, if it survived my teenage Scout and all his rambunctious rock climbing and goofing around, then it should serve you well. I purchased the Dark Olive Green because it's similar to the Ranger Green clothes I wear for Boy Scouts, and my son purchased the Light Brown because he likes that color. Both colors look good. The Light Brown is similar to Coyote Brown, but a little darker. The OG version was also cheaper at the time of purchase.

Needed a lighter weight puffer jacket. This jacket is OK - nothing to write home about. The disappointing part was rthe inside front pockets. There is no bottom. Stuff goes straight to the bottom. so retrieving things from the inside pocket is a challenge.If you use inside pockets regularly, I would steer away from this jacket.
