Outdoor Ventures Women’s Packable Lightweight Full-Zip Puffer Jacket with Hood Quilted Winter Coat

Top notch in this price point and true plus sizing!
Love the extended sizing!!! Absolutely best puffy jacket I have tried in this price point. I got the eggplant color that I am currently obsessed with. I love that it packs into it’s on pocket, but mine also came with a stuff sack like you get with a sleeping bag.Against all other major brands this is easily the more budget friendly jacket. Against Patagonia this jacket wins hands down, for the sheer fact that they make it in a size that fits me. Against North Face, Colombia, Cotopaxi, and L.L. Bean it holds up well, but is clearly the budget option. Against all these brands it is the only one that had this color that I really wanted.The first thing you will notice when compared to the more expensive brands is that it is not as breathable/temperature regulating as these other brands synthetic puffy jackets. It is also lacking some design features that these others have.I will compare it to the Cotopaxi Capa. It does have a hood syncher which i personally prefer to the Capa’s scuba hood, but does not have synchers at the waist. It packs down smaller and easier than the Capa, but isn’t as warm. This one tends to leak in cold air much more than the Capa, which is what I would expect given the price difference. I do really like that they both have zipper garages, but wish the liner went all the way down like it does on the Capa. Finally it is shorter and fits looser than the Capa which works well for me as I am 5’2, and curvy, but I can see it being an issue for taller, thiner people. All together I really like this jacket, it is a solid budget option and is especially well suited for travel in chilly climates. I am more likely to use this in the city than hiking since it is not as breathable as the primaloft.

Great lightweight parka
This parka is comfortable from 30⁰-40⁰F, and would probably be fine down to about 20⁰F with a decent sweater. It’s lightweight and packs to a convenient travel size in its own pocket (tight fit) or in its separate carry bag (loose fit). The hood and pockets are generous and the zippers are good quality. I don’t recommend sizing up, I did to allow room for a sweater and mine really is too big, so the sizing seems generous. For comparison, I’m a 5’7″ woman at about 160 lbs, and I bought XL. A large would have been more than sufficient. The fit is boxy rather than fitted. The teal color is bit darker and duller than shown in the listing, but still a nice color, more like a medium blue. It kept me warm and dry after a 1 hour walk in the rain, so the water resistance us good. I’m happy with this purchase.

I received this very high quality jacket yesterday and took wore it today to test it out. It was cooler and a light rain was falling here in western Canada and it was exactly what I needed. As others mentioned, it is very light weight and ideal as an in between jacket in spring and fall. I am leaving for a trip to our neighbouring province where the weather promises cooler temperatures, so it will be ideal. The hood is terrific and can be easily secured with a drawstring, the collar is high and ideal for cooler or windy weather, and, I love the deep outer pockets and zipped inner pocket for secure items. I find the material very soft, and the jacket so packable and won’t take up a lot of luggage space. When I walked in the rain today, I found it resisted the water very well, unlike my old puffer jacket. I ordered a Large size despite my 5’4” 128 lbs, but perfect size for layering. The sleeves are about 11/2 inches too long for me which I will have shortened eventually. Of course, that is because of my short arm length and not a negative of a large size jacket. I got this jacket on a limited time price reduction, a bonus. I am so happy with this jacket and it is just the ticket now that fall is approaching. You can’t go wrong purchasing this one.

Nice all purpose jacket. Good weight for spring and fall seasons and a nice layer in winter. It’s very packable for travel. I got the eggplant which is a gorgeous deep wine colour. I originally ordered a Large according to the chart based on my measurements and it was way too snug so something to bear in mind. Reordered in an XL and the fit is generous. In-between would be ideal really but I’m happy as I like to be able to layer a sweater underneath. Very easy return procedure
