Why We Love This Deal
This epic snowstorm continues to rage across a vast swath of the country, and it doesn't look like winter is going to be throwing in the towel anytime soon. If there was ever a time to invest in a new puffer jacket, it's now. Invest, of course, is a relative term, considering this deal on one of Columbia's warmest offerings drops its price by nearly $50.
The Columbia Powder Pass Hooded Jacket retails for $120, but you can get it at Dick's Sporting Goods right now for just $70. It's a smart and stylish jacket for cold-weather defense, and is similar to the comparable REI Magma or Cotopaxi Fuego. You can get one of these in one of three colors (the fourth has sold out), in sizes small through 2XL.

Since 1938, Columbia's jackets have been "engineered for whatever." This includes defense against the ravages of a long and arduous cold front. This jacket is especially well-suited to guarding you from the elements while cradling you in warmth.
Its Omni-Shield lining resists both rain and stains, so it's perfect for defense against sudden storms. Unlike some other puffer jackets, this one is made to stretch and breathe, so you can wear it into the spring. And like any great jacket, it's got zippered hand pockets to provide your digits a little extra protection, not to mention a useful spot to slide your wallet, phone, or other small everyday carry items.
The attached scuba hood with chin guard really gives this jacket an edge on the cold defense front, especially when it's fully zipped up.
If there's one feature we'd like to see here, it's packability. Some of our favorite puffer jackets are designed to pack into their own pockets, or sometimes into an included stuff sack. We didn't find any mention of this, but if that's not a dealbreaker, then this jacket will do a fine job in all other regards.
