a good cost/performance move is to get a puffer vest. Cheaper n keeps everything important warm enough if you're not gonna be outside for very long

If you could extend your budget from 100 to 150 you could def find some TNF or Patagonia puffers on sale

Def willing to drop 150 for quality

Jackets can’t last a man 4 or 5 years?

uniqlo ultralight down has served me well but they are slim cant layer too much

also as with all down jackets not gonna last forever

Time to go thrifting op

Personally i would go for the layer route i usually wear a softshell jacket (windproof waterproof) and layer as needed underneath. Got mine for $80 on sale at rei

Can go down to 0 with that no problem

You could pick up north face puffers for 100 or less easy on ebay too

Prob wont be black tho depends

a $100 jacket is not going to last you 5 harsh Winters dude

I'm not going to be fighting arctic wolves to the death in it--I'm gonna put on the jacket, waddle in and out of my work and come home 🥴

Actually a lil bit of a thicker and fluffier model than the one I got. Mine doesn’t appear to have as high a collar either. And it cost the same as that

I’d go for it tbh. You should be insulated well

thrift brother

fireeee but only us, we don't have this gem in europe

Columbia Omni Heat no question

Had it since high school and I'm 25

Also gets me through the hell that is Minnesota winters
