Why We Love This Deal
Most people don't want to commit to a full-on overcoat before they have to, which makes finding a good transitional jacket, like a lightweight puffer, the ideal shoulder season solution. If you look at the ones outdoor brands like Patagonia and The North Face have become famous for, you'll find that they cost north of $150, even when on sale. L.L.Bean's Classic Puffer, on the other hand, is a far more affordable pick, and right now, one of them is on sale for under $40.
The L.L.Bean Mountain Classic Puffer Jacket is now just $35 on the brand’s website, a 65% discount off its regular price of $100. This is one of the best prices you’re likely to find for a puffer—an impressive deal considering the brand makes quality products built to outlast trends and temperatures. It also has over 550 five-star ratings from buyers to boot. Like it but want a hood? There is a hoodie version of this jacket on sale for only $5 more.

This is a modernized take on the brand’s original mountain jacket. While it's only insulated with an 80-gram synthetic fill, it provides a surprisingly warm effect without all the unnecessary bulk. It uses a 100% polyester shell that is both water- and wind-resistant, making it ideal for early winter days before rain turns to snow.
The stand-up collar, snap hand pockets, and a slightly slim silhouette keep things simple and modern. It’s also machine washable and can be tossed in the dryer on a low heat level, making it a practical choice over high-maintenance, expensive down alternatives.
Above all, the standout feature of this jacket is its packability. It’s warm enough for colder fall and early winter days, but it compresses into a size that you can easily toss into a duffel or backpack. It's not quite like the brand's Packaway jacket, which rolls up into its own pocket, but it's still very easy to fold and stuff into a bag.

What Shoppers Are Saying
With hundreds of five-star ratings, there’s not a whole lot that shoppers are complaining about. One reviewer was keen to note it’s “the right jacket” for pre-winter weather. “It keeps me comfortable when strolling the streets and parks of Manhattan,” they said.
Another said it's great for traveling, offering the perfect use for being able to “roll or fold, and easy to carry. It’s a light jacket that makes a “big impact,” which keeps them “warm and toasty.”
At a price this reasonable, it's hard to deny the value of this puffer, especially when other, similar brands are changing more than double. Hurry if you want one—sizes are running low.
