Okay, so I grabbed this puffer jacket on a whim because, hello? $25?! Wasn't expecting much but dang, this thing's become my go-to layer.

The fit is surprisingly good for a budget buy. I'm 6'1" with linebacker shoulders and the Large fits just right - not too tight in the shoulders but doesn't make me look like I'm wearing a trash bag either. The elastic cuffs are clutch for keeping drafts out.

Warmth-wise? It's like the Goldilocks of jackets - perfect for those 40-50°F days when you need more than a hoodie but less than your Arctic expedition parka. Wore it walking the dog in light snow and stayed cozy (though I wouldn't trust it in serious sub-freezing temps).

The packable feature is GENIUS. Stuff it into its little pouch and boom - instant emergency jacket for my work bag or travel. Takes up less space than my lunch.

Only nitpick? The nylon fabric sounds a bit crinkly at first, but after a few wears it softens up. For twenty-five bucks though? Absolute steal. Already planning to grab another color!
