Summer is in full swing, and the heat is out! But we all know how quickly the cold weather can sneak up on us, and it's always a good idea to be prepared.

One reviewer said this is a “high-quality, warm, and comfortable coat.” Another reviewer said, “I really like this jacket. It held up well over the past year and a half of fall through spring use and is warm enough for what I need. This is a jack-of-all-trades jacket for 20°F and up. Highly packable, good insulation, relatively durable, acceptable down leakage, looks pretty good, and durable water repellent (DWR) coating works well. It has enough puff to keep you warm, but not so much that you begin to feel immobile. It's inexpensive, so you don't get paranoid about using it. The biggest advantage is price.”
The REI Co-op 650 Down Jacket is great for traveling, layering, and it's just a comfortable and warm jacket for everyday wear. If you're in the market for a high-quality jacket at a low price, this deal is for you.
