Why We Love This Deal
Some days, especially at this time of the year, a light sweater isn’t going to cut it. You need to wear a jacket that’s got a little more defense against the elements. Puffy-style jackets don’t just provide an extra edge of warmth, but they’re also fairly fashion-forward. With this one from The North Face that just went on sale, you get all that plus some special weather tech.
The North Face’s Frost Fall Jacket, despite its name, is perfect for year-round protection from the cold. As is typical for jackets of this quality from such a coveted brand, it costs a pretty penny, retailing for $225. However, you can score a discount that’s just shy of 50% on this popular puffer jacket before they inevitably sell out.

What Shoppers Should Know
- Sizes: Small to 3XL
- Colors: TNF Black, Mushroom Gray (50% off), and Bark Mist (30% off)
- Fill: 600-fill recycled down
- Weather Tech: Wind-resistant, water-resistant (non-PFC DWR finish)
- Best For: Everyday wear in chilly weather, light hiking
This is the sort of jacket that’s well-suited for those who live in colder climates. A “cold day” means two wholly different things in Los Angeles and New York, and while each faces its own kind of cold fronts every once in a while, this jacket is better suited for places where cold means temperatures of 32 degrees Fahrenheit and above.
After all, this jacket isn’t puffy because it’s full of air. The insulation comes from 600-fill recycled waterfowl down, which not only helps lock in your body’s natural body heat but also provides a fair amount of wind resistance as well. Of course, the non-PFC durable water-repellant finish provides extra protection against rain, snow, and hail. It’s the sort of puffy jacket made for outdoor adventuring, whether that’s a brisk mid-afternoon hike or a fun snowball fight with friends.
It’s also just plain stylish, in a way that few rugged outdoor jackets are, but that shouldn’t come as a surprise—can you think of a jacket maker that was popular with both Princess Diana and Biggie Smalls? This one comes in three colors: TNF Black, Mushroom Gray, and Bark Mist. All are discounted; however, Bark Mist will cost a little bit more, selling for $158.

What Shoppers Are Saying
Currently, this jacket holds an average 4.7-star rating on The North Face, with 91% of customers saying they’d recommend buying it. The reviews underline just how warm this jacket is, especially in colder places like New York, while also being “not too bulky.” And while it’s a hit with people of all ages, it’s also big with savvy youths.
“We bought two of these jackets for our twin sons, and they both love them,” one shopper said. “They’re super warm, and they can wear their T-shirts underneath in cold weather and still stay warm. They are both little fashionistas and give them thumbs up.”
For good defense against the cold, this puffy-style Frost Fall Jacket from The North Face is a sure bet. It’s nearly 50% off right now, selling for as low as $113, depending on the color you pick, but these will almost certainly be gone soon—get one while you can.
