Amazon EssentialsMen's Lightweight Water-Resistant Packable Hooded Puffer Jacket

01/24: "Chilly" Festival Friendly! Wanted something to keep me warm in 40-50 degree weather, but that I could also compress into a hydration back pack ! This was perfect! .... love the ability to easily roll it into the included compact bag; I just wear with the bag attached as it arrived... u don't feel it...and you'll never lose it....it looks good on... fits great.... & was warm enough - it really does retain body heat.... all that plus its lightweight w/no added bulk! Ive had no issue with the zipper...but remember its only like a 30-40 dollar jacket...so just be patient & careful with it is all and don't expect to wear it snug and not have an issue with the zipper eventually ... Will also be taking it snowboarding soon. Very happy with this affordable purchase. Great value. (Size M, Black)UPDATE: 02/24.... purchased a 2nd jacket in Size: L: .... worked perfect for me as a snowboarding mid layer! ... as a 1st timer to snow, this made it easy for me paired with just a balaclava hoodie, a set of thermals, a bib pant, snowboarding socks & gloves I was comfortably warm as it was snowing with temps in the 20s described as a part cloudy, part sunny day with 2inches of snowfall expected (after 11inches the day prior) .... . I didn't need my top layer jacket... I stayed warm ... I remained dry .... I ended up purchasing the Sz: L to allow for layering & for more movement. It worked perfectly ... highly recommend...Item travels EXCELLENT! .... easy to care for... will likely purchase other colors as needed.... so for me at: 5'7", 170 ... size M for daily casual wear, and size L for winter sports at a bargain price & nothing bulky to store as I live in a tropical climate. Stores away easily taking up no space until the next trip.

I first ordered a Size Medium, which fit well enough in the shoulders and chest, but was several inches too large in the waist. The design is basic, but well constructed and surprisingly warm, despite its light weight, I also ordered a Size Small to see if that would fit better.The Size Small was too tight in the shoulders and chest, but fits well in the waist. Given that they were so affordable, I ended up keeping both and layering the Medium over the Small when temperatures become dangerously low, sometimes topped by a rain shell. When not so cold and wet out, I wear the Medium over a fleece sweater, a combination that is both warm and comfortable.The hood of both sizes is generously cut with elastic around the face that helps to deflect wind. The sleeve wrists are also trimmed in elastic.I travel by bicycle in all four seasons, so am outside more than in. Breathability is low, so the jackets are too warm to wear while pedaling, but are lifesavers when I’m stationary in camp. I wear the medium when in my sleeping bag on coldest nights.All considered, these jackets are an exceptional value.For size reference, I’m male, 5’9” and 145 pounds, with a 38’ chest, 29” waist, and 32” sleeves.

I bought a few similar jackets from different manufacturers and the plan was to keep the one that fit the best. This one came in second place, and I had to return it because another one fit me a little better. I ordered the small, and I am 5'6" tall and 150 lbs with short limbs and a wide frame. Nothing fits me well, so I usually have to settle for something that is close but not perfect. This jacket fit perfectly, but the sleeves and overall length were just a little bit longer than a competitor. I honestly would have kept this jacket if I had not tried the competitor's, because the extra length was negligible and comfortable. Generally speaking, this jacket style runs a little long in the sleeves for people like me with short arms. Then, if you buy a size extra-small (usually not available), it's too tight or too short in the overall length. This is a nice, well-constructed, lightweight jacket that feels warm. It's much lighter than a parka but it seems like it will work for cold and wet weather around 40-45 F. The hood also fits well without a hat and it seems like a very functional go-to jacket for cold rainy weather. The wrist elastic could be a little tighter in my opinion, but it's basically snug around the wrist. You can probably put a few stitches in the material and make it tighter with some clever sewing.
