There's nothing worse than realizing the jacket you thought would get you through the winter can't quite handle the cold. Thankfully, top retailers are already dropping the prices of popular winter jackets. We've recently spotted everything from Cole Haan's wool overcoats to long Calvin Klein parkas on sale, but now, REI is getting in on the action with a stellar deal on a Columbia jacket that's warm enough for frigid temperatures and stylish enough to wear every single day.
Columbia’s Puffect II Insulated Jacket is now on sale for just $115—36% off its normal $180 asking price. Reasonable price tag aside, this jacket has earned glowing feedback from its handful of reviews, with one shopper going as far as saying it is "by far, the warmest coat I have ever purchased." It's on sale in one color—a neutral tan with black—and it's available in sizes small to 2XL. What we love most about this jacket, though, is that it looks exactly like The North Face's iconic Nuptse Jacket but is less than half the cost.

No matter how cold and windy it gets outside, you’ll be sure to stay cozy and warm in the Puffect jacket with its puffy design and Thermarator polyester fill. Whether it's rain or snow, sleet or shine, this water-resistant jacket will keep the elements at bay. And while the overly stuffed insulation keeps you as warm as can be, you will also be super protected from the wind, partially due to its high zipper design and soft chin-guard. Its slightly lowered drape is perfect, too, so no matter if you are walking or moving around, this coat won’t ride up and expose your midsection. It also has zippered side pockets and elastic cuffs for the perfect finishing touches.
“Comfy, warm, and lightweight,” was how one shopper described it. “Feels very lightweight and very comfortable, and I like it because the length is a little longer than usual, compared to the North Face’s Nuptse jacket, which sits up higher on my waist.”
“It’s very heavy...and very warm,” remarked another shopper. “I was looking for an ‘in-between’ jacket between my ski parka and a lightweight down jacket I've owned for years, and this will do nicely.” They especially loved its versatility, noting, “Ideal for walking my pooch in all sorts of chilly winter weather. It's bulky—not for travel—but the price was right, it's comfortable, and it's warm. Very happy to have found it.”
When REI marks products down, they tend to disappear fast, and Columbia’s Puffect II Insulated Jacket is doing just that. Grab yours now, as stock is low, and so is this price.
