Why We Love This Deal
There are plenty of jackets that’ll keep you warm in the sheer cold or will feel comfortable in a light breeze. But what about something in the middle? That’s where this high-end jacket from Columbia comes into play—it's warm but not overly bulky and is suitable for everything from summiting mountains to that weird winter-to-spring weather transition. Plus, it’s 25% off as part of Columbia’s Whatever The Weather sale running now through April 5.
The Columbia Titanium Hiking Thunder Bay II Down Jacket is on sale for $225, which is $75 off the original $300 price tag. This item boasts nearly a dozen five-star ratings at Columbia and ranges in sizes from S to 2XL. It comes in a brilliant blue color and seems to have plenty of stock at the moment.

What Shoppers Should Know

- Best Use: Hiking
- Center Back Length: 28 inches
- Machine Washable: Yes, but separate
While there are many jackets to choose from on the market, this one sets itself apart from others with Columbia's special Omni-Heat Infinity lining, which is specifically designed to retain heat. That helps make this down jacket truly warm, but it doesn’t overdo it, particularly because of another piece of Columbia tech, the OutDry Extreme waterproof membrane, which promotes breathability.
Columbia gave this jacket a medium warmth rating, meaning it’s perfect for the occasional, unseasonal cold that spring can have and the cold-warm-cold experience you'll have hitting a 14er this season. It might not be built for the big chill of winter, but that's the point—it's got your back in that weird 40-60-degree Fahrenheit situation.
Although this jacket isn’t as affordable as some others, what you're getting is premium quality and versatility. For example, the Fjallraven Expedition Pack Down Hoodie is on sale for $200 at REI and is a similar creation. However, it’s not waterproof like the Thunder Bay and won’t keep you as dry as this jacket with its interior wicking fabric.

What Shoppers Are Saying
Whether you’re an avid hiker or a general outdoor enthusiast, this jacket will make adventuring fun regardless of poor weather. “I was outdoors surveying a trail route for our local parks department, which meant I was running around bushwhacking all day,” one shopper began. “It was 38 degrees with heavy, cold rain the whole time. I was warm and dry and didn't mind being out in nasty weather. This puffy is durable!”
Another reviewer also raved about how this jacket always keeps you out of the rain. “Another great feature is its water resistance—rain doesn’t stay on the surface, and the jacket doesn’t get wet. The water simply slides off.”
