Everyone needs a synthetic, packable puffer in their wardrobe. Of all the high-tech options out there, none are as popular as the legendary yet oh-so-pricey Patagonia Nano Puff. Fortunately, L.L. Bean makes a nearly identical garment with the same warmth and weatherproofing specs but at a much more wallet-friendly price. Best of all, it’s discounted by an extra 22% right now.
L.L. Bean Primaloft Packaway Jackets are only $139 via the brand directly, knocked down from $179. By comparison, the Patagonia version of the same jacket will run you $289 at full cost.
Love saving money on top-notch outerwear and gear? REI’s Presidents’ Day sale is happening now, and I did a little virtual shopping spree to pick out my favorite items. Also, Arc’teryx has plenty of gear on sale, and so does Carhartt (with beanies for only $11). But not for long!
