Why we love this deal

If you're shopping around for great deals on coats, jackets, hoodies, and other seasonal apparel, it always pays to check out what your favorite brands are selling directly from their own storefronts. When the weather gets hard to predict, and you prefer to carry a jacket on your arm or layer up and adjust your comfort level later on, a nice, lightweight jacket like the ones at Columbia can quickly become your favorite article of clothing. Back in college, I never knew if the sun would come out or I'd leave class to find pouring rain or falling snow, so I had my most comfortable Columbia jacket on me more days than not.

When you decide it's time for a new jacket, you might consider the $160 Columbia Voodoo Falls 590 Jacket, which you can get for only $80 at the moment — or an incredible 50% off the usual retail price. And members of Columbia's free rewards program also get free shipping.

Why do shoppers love it?

The Voodoo Falls 590 is equipped with a lightweight layer of insulation, a breathable Omni-Heat thermal lining, and a moisture-repelling Omni-Shield weave to keep you dry and comfortable in rain, sleet, or snow. The shell is made of 100% nylon, while the insulation is made of 85% recycled polyester, with the jacket being RDS-certified for ethical manufacturing conditions. A drawcord-style hem lets you adjust the fit to keep out the wind when it's especially cold, and the jacket features an interior security pocket as well as zippered side pockets for storing your phone, keys, wallet, or keeping your hands extra toasty.

It's available in a wide variety of sizes, ranging from X-small to 2X-large, and you can get it in several different colors to suit your individual style: brown, pink, stone white, black, and green. You can put it in the washing machine as needed, but Columbia recommends that you stay away from bleach, fabric softeners, ironing, or dry-cleaning; a cold, gentle cycle works best for long-term maintenance.

"This is the jacket. It's so worth it," said one reviewer. "It's warm, lightweight, it moves well, and it's not restrictive at all — it's like wearing a fleece. And it fits me perfectly. It's water-resistant, packable, and great for running errands or layering with for a hike. I was torn between this and a cute $30 option, but the fit, the Columbia name, and the warm thermal lining on this made it the better deal overall."
