Eddie Bauer’s long been known for making durable and classic outdoor gear and apparel, but the brand has been producing a wide range of performance outdoor products lately, too. This down jacket is an example of a piece that rivals higher-end brands but is sold at a friendlier price, even before a markdown. The CirrusLite uses a 100% recycled nylon shell and lining to encapsulate 650-fill premium down insulation. The shell is also treated with a water-repellant finish that helps shed light rain and other encounters with moisture. Features include zippered side pockets, a high neckline to keep out drafts, and a roomy fit so you can wear it comfortably over midweight layers.

Happy customers almost universally praise the jacket’s featherweight feel and shocking warmth. “When I received the jacket I was surprised by how light it was,” said one shopper . “This thing will keep you warm and toasty.” Another agreed , saying, “What's amazing is that the jacket is so light I was afraid it would not be warm enough…This is by far the warmest jacket I’ve ever had.”

If you don’t already have a down jacket in your outdoor apparel arsenal, then this one should be on your list as a Prime Day bargain. Not only is it light, warm, and comfortable, but the jacket starts at only $55, nearly $75 cheaper than the list price. Jump on it now, because we can see sizes selling out quickly.
