Columbia

Puffect Insulated Jacket - Women's

From high-altitude camping trips in the summer to frigid winter days at the ski-resort, a good puffy is a key part of any outdoor kit, and Columbia's Puffect Insulated Jacket is a versatile option that performs well and won't break the bank. It's filled with Thermarator insulation, a down-like synthetic fiber that's lightweight, packable, and super warm just like down, but maintains that warmth when it comes in contact with excess moisture and humid-cold conditions, unlike down. The water-resistant shell fabric will keep away most snowfall and lighter rain, but if you're caught in unexpected storm you'll be comforted knowing you've still got some warmth on your side. The regular fit of this jacket and its smooth taffeta lining make it easy to pull on over other layers, and zippered pockets add convenient storage for trail maps of all varieties.
