Why We Love This Deal
Despite pretty tough winter weather hitting most of the U.S. in recent weeks, Dec. 21 was (by some counts) the official first day of the season. It’s going to be a long one, folks. That means it's worth stocking up and layering with cozy sweatpants, cold-ready winter gloves, and some snow-ready boots. Now is also when you want a warm, water-repellent jacket, and this one with Columbia's Omni-Heat and Omni-Shield tech just dropped to its best-ever price.
The Columbia Voodoo Falls 590 Turbodown II Jacket is now just $80 on Amazon. That’s a 50% drop from its regular price and, according to our research, the best price on Amazon overall. It's also $16 less than the $96 it's still being sold for on Columbia’s site.

This Columbia jacket features pockets of responsibly-sourced down that are distributed in a non-bulky way. It uses zippers on the hand pockets, with a soft lining to protect dry winter hands from hungry zipper teeth, and a friendly chin guard will, similarly, keep your neck and beard from getting tangled up in the fully-zipped jacket.
It’s a part of Columbia’s Omni-Heat series, and has special tech to reflect your own heat back at you, sort of like a personal atmosphere. That’s one reason why the jacket can keep the bulk to a minimum. In addition to Omni-Heat, you’ll also see Columbia’s Omni-Shield tech in play here. Long story short, it makes the jacket simultaneously water-repelling and stain-resistant via quick-dry tech.
Put all together, this makes for a great winter hiking jacket. But you may also enjoy it for casual yet long winter walks, with your hands comfortably tucked into the pockets.

How does it all stand up to the grand experiment of real-life usage? Pretty great, according to shoppers, one of whom said it’s “lightweight but very warm, especially if you layer underneath with a fleece or hoodie.”
Another said that it “traps heat very well,” which, of course, is the whole point of the jacket’s design.
