There are a lot of great deals happening this week during both Walmart's Holiday Deals Event and the much-hyped Amazon October Prime Big Deal Days. These online discount deals can help you save on gear like tents, sleeping bags, and best-selling pocket knives, among other essentials. One of the best deals we've found so far on Amazon is this lightweight and warm jacket from Eddie Bauer; It has over 50% off as cold weather approaches.
Eddie Bauer's CirrusLite Down Jacket is currently on sale on Amazon for as little as $55 — up to 57% off the regular price of $129. The affordable down jacket has nearly 250 five-star reviews from Amazon customers, who say it's “surprisingly warm and lightweight.” It's available in all sizes, from small to 2XL, in four great colors, and there's even a hooded version for less than $10.

Eddie Bauer has long been known for producing durable and classic outdoor clothing and apparel, but the brand has recently been producing a wide range of performance outdoor products as well. This down jacket is an example of a piece that rivals high-end brands but is sold at a more affordable price, even before the discount. CirrusLite uses 100% recycled nylon shell and liner to encapsulate 650-fill premium down insulation. The exterior is also coated with a waterproof coating that helps repel light rain and other moisture situations. Features include zippered side pockets, a high draft-blocking collar, and a roomy fit so you can wear it comfortably over mid-weight layers.
Happy customers almost universally praise the jacket's feather-light feel and shocking warmth. “When I received my jacket, I was surprised at how light it was,” said one customer. “This thing will keep you warm and toasty.” Another agreed, saying: “The great thing is the jacket is so light I was afraid it wouldn't be warm enough… This is the warmest jacket I've ever owned.”

It is also very packable as customers stated. “It folds up small enough to fit in my backpack for my daily commute,” said one shopper. Another customer liked the quality of the jacket and noted that “the zippers and stitching are also very high quality.”
If you don't already have a down jacket in your outdoor clothing library, this jacket should be on your list as a Prime Day bargain. Not only is it lightweight, warm, and comfortable, but the jacket starts at just $55, making it almost $75 cheaper than the list price. Get started now because we can see sizes are selling out fast.
