This 'slimming' and 'flattering' long puffer vest is 50% off at Amazon

With a removable hood, full zip and two side pockets, you'll be able to take on anything Old Man Winter throws at you.

Ready for a winter wardrobe upgrade that's stylish and toasty? While we love a good puffer jacket to get us through the coldest months, the true, versatile unsung hero of the snowy season is the long puffer vest. It's more breathable than a bulky coat and it lets you move more freely, and right now Amazon's offering up the popular Tanming Long Puffer Vest for just $40, down from $80 — that's 50% off.

With premium insulation and a sleek, flattering fit, you'll stay cozy all winter long.

Why is it a good deal? 💰

You can't put a price on outerwear that can show up for multiple seasons, but if you have to, $40 is a pretty good deal. This puffer vest goes on sale occasionally, but we don't expect the price to drop again until it starts to get warmer outside.

Why do I need this? 🧐

Cozy, adaptable, and effortlessly cool, this long puffer vest will keep you feeling warm and looking chic for any winter escapade. Falling just above the knees, it’s a great partner for leggings, blending comfort with style. On the days you don't need it, the removable hood allows for a flowing scarf, adding a touch of class. Lightweight yet snug, it layers comfortably over sweaters or long-sleeve tops. On milder days, you can wear it unzipped and unsnapped for a relaxed look. The secure zip or snap closure keeps everything in place, whether you’re covering up on a chilly hike or adding a chic layer for a coffee run.

What reviewers say 💬

1,200 rave reviewers gush about this puffer.

Pros 👍

"Slimming," wrote a rave reviewer. "I love this vest and how it fits. Flattering in the middle and flairs out on the bottom. Pretty warm for a vest."

"I've been leaning more towards vests recently to not feel as restricted," shared a sleeveless coat convert. "I LOVE this long vest and highly recommend it. I'm between a small and medium and sized up to the medium to make sure I could fit sweatshirts underneath and I can with ease. It is so warm. I'm 5'8" with a long torso and this hits mid-thigh and covers all of my bum which I also like."

"This is a lovely layering piece," wrote a five-star fan. "Lightweight, flattering and warm. When you are cold, but moving around too much to wear a complete down jacket, this is the perfect cure for being too hot for a big coat, but too cold for no coat at all."

Cons 👎

Some shoppers said the vest could use a tweak or two.

"It comes to my knees and wish it was more mid-thigh," wrote a shopper who said it fits like a Snuggie. "I get a lot of compliments-even from my middle school students."

"Wish the hood had a button or two to stay on during a windy day but otherwise, this is a go-to and highly recommend!" shared a shopper who called it a sports mom capsule wardrobe staple.

This puffer vest features two side pockets, a full zip and removable hood.
