Not only is L.L. Bean’s Stretch Primaloft Packaway Hooded Jacket the obvious frontrunner as far as optimal spring outerwear goes, but right now its 68%, too. It’s one of the brand’s daily deals, so the discount ends at midnight.
To start, the layer’s Primaloft Gold is top-tier synthetic insulation, in that it’s ultra lightweight but not at the expense of warmth, and this is stuffed full of it (it also features NASA-developed Aerogel, billed as the world’s lightest solid, and while we’re not exactly sure what that means, it sounds dope). Second, the shell is both windproof and water-resistant, but still breathable, making it the perfect layer to combat the final few days of winter and, soon enough, April showers. Lastly, and arguably most pertinent, is that it’s a “packaway” jacket, meaning if it starts to get warm, you can tuck it away into its own pocket and easily stash it away for later use. Because why wouldn’t you want to do to that?
Available in seven colors, and in all sizes, this jacket is a steal at $69.99. Do be advised, though, that it’s listed as “slightly fitted” and the reviews confirm as much, so if you like to layer, or even just for your outerwear to hang a little looser, we recommend you go a size up.
