Finding the perfect lightweight jacket can be a challenge, whether it’s a waterproof shell that’ll keep you dry in a downpour or a tech-forward hoodie for everyday wear. But if staying warm is your main priority no matter where you go, a packable puffer jacket may be your best bet. Luckily, one of the top-rated puffer jackets is on sale at REI , and hundreds of reviewers swear by it.
The Patagonia Nano Puff Jacket is on sale at REI just ahead of fall for $167, a 30% discount off its regular price of $239. This synthetic-insulated jacket has been the No. 1 best-selling item on the site since it went on sale, and with more than 600 five-star ratings from REI shoppers, it can attest to the hype. The jacket is available in sizes XS to 3XL and comes in five color options at the $167 price point, but some are starting to sell out.

This lightweight puffer jacket offers exceptional temperature regulation and durability. On the outside, the 100% recycled polyester ripstop fabric is coated with a DWR finish, so moisture and light rain will bead and roll off the jacket instead of soaking it. It’s filled with 60-gram PrimaLoft Gold synthetic insulation that’s water-repellent and made with 100% recycled content. Elastic cuffs and a double-tie hem help tighten the jacket for a snug fit that blocks out cold drafts, and two zippered handwarmer pockets and an interior zippered pocket keep your essentials secure. The interior pocket also doubles as a stuff sack, so you can pack this jacket up and throw it in your backpack or suitcase when you’re traveling.
Reviewers raved about the Nano Puff's excellent performance and go-anywhere versatility. “Outstanding — the perfect everyday jacket,” said one shopper. “I live in the Pacific Northwest and Texas, and this jacket is my go-to for just about every situation. It keeps me warm enough on fall and spring days and is easy to layer in the winter. It fits perfectly under a shell.”

Another shopper agreed, calling the Nano Puff “the perfect travel jacket.” “It's so easy to pack and versatile for all weather conditions. This is my second jacket and I still love it!” she said.
A versatile jacket like the Patagonia Nano Puff is a welcome addition to any wardrobe, especially when it comes in at just $167, a fraction of the price of comparable insulated layers. Whether you’re traveling or just commuting, it’s a jacket you can always rely on during shoulder season and even into the winter.
