Why We Love This Deal
Big deals on men's jackets are popping up everywhere ahead of the madness that comes as a result of Black Friday sales. Just in the last three days, Men's Journal has spotted major price drops on a Patagonia waxed cotton jacket, a fleece from The North Face, and a stylish wool overcoat from Calvin Klein. Now, Uniqlo is getting in on the action, marking down its insulated parkas to less than $100.
Uniqlo’s Pufftech Parka is now on sale for just $80 ahead of the holiday shopping season. It’s available at that price across four colorways with a generous size range in stock, and while the reviews are few, the feedback is astoundingly positive.

What Shoppers Should Know
- Colors Available: 4, all on sale
- Sizes Available: 2XS-XL
- Shell: 100% nylon
- Filling: 100% polyester
- Lining: 100% polyester
- Best For: Cool and cold weather; warm enough for winter with a layer under it
The Pufftech is built with a nylon shell for good durability and reduced weight, and the shell wears a DWR finish to repel splashes and light precipitation. Inside, the jacket is stuffed with 3D waffle insulation (essentially, layers of textured polyester sheets). Compared to traditional down fill, this synthetic insulation has some key advantages: It’s lightweight, and it continues to trap heat and keep you warm even if it gets damp.
The jacket is fitted at the neck, cuffs, and hem to block out cold breezes, but there’s plenty of room in the body and shoulders for good freedom of movement. Dual side pockets keep a lockdown hold on your EDC essentials as you go about your day, and the attached hood offers extra warmth and protection.
With its $80 price point, the Pufftech Parka is a steal compared to similar synthetic insulated jackets. Options from Arc’teryx ($300), Patagonia ($229), and Fjallraven ($500) are significantly more expensive, and even the bargain REI version, for example, costs $20 more.

What Shoppers Are Saying
Uniqlo shoppers are really pleased with this jacket. First off, the synthetic insulation delivers serious warmth for cold conditions: One shopper called this parka “my go-to choice whenever it’s cold outside.” Another reviewer agreed, saying the parka “fits well and keeps me warm.”
But it also scores high marks for aesthetics. With its minimalist, unadorned look—a hallmark of Uniqlo garments—it’s super easy to style and great for day-to-day wear. Unlike hiking-oriented jackets, you can wear this to work without looking like you’re about to embark on an Arctic expedition. One shopper loved its low-key style and called the parka “really nice looking.”
At $80, you’d be hard-pressed to find a better deal on a synthetic insulated jacket than Uniqlo’s Pufftech Parka. There are still plenty of colors and sizes available, but they won’t last long at this price. Hurry over to Uniqlo and grab yours before it’s gone.
