Fit Review Friday! Athleta Halo Flannel Puffer Jacket and Aire Puffer Vest and How To Get the BEST Deals at Athleta
Happy Friday and Happy Halloween! The holiday sales have officially started. Athleta is having their 30% off sale for card holders this weekend only. I'm interested in their waffle line, and want to try the hoodie and jogger. I'm going to be more selective with my purchases and will only keep it if I truly love it!
For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size PXS in Athleta. I also wear size 4/6 in Lululemon.
(25% off!)
When I saw this jacket on their website, I was immediately interested. It reminds me of a Vuori jacket from last year, except Vuori runs so large, even their smallest size would never fit me. The Athleta store near me had size XXS to try on! This also comes in petite, but honestly, size XXS fit me just fine. The sleeves didn't feel overly long and I really liked the length of the jacket.

When I tried this on, it wasn't on sale yet. When I saw it was 25% off on the website a couple of days ago, I immediately added it to cart. I managed to stack a few more codes on top of the sale price and got a really good deal! More on this later.
The outside is super soft, it has a soft flannel feel. Very plushy and semi-warm. The retail price is $249 which was priced a little too high in my opinion considering the insulation is not down, but I live in a mild climate so I don't need down jackets very often in Atlanta. I will probably get more use out of this jacket than my warmer jackets.
As much as I love the jacket, I am disappointed with the lining. I knew there would be something I didn't like about this jacket. I wish it was lined with the same fabric as the outer shell. I guess they have to cut corners somewhere. I ended up getting this jacket for under $100, so I can't really complain.
Aire Puffer Vest Garnet Size XS
(25% off!)
Next up, we have the Aire Puffer Vest in Garnet. I'm wearing size XS and could have easily sized down. This vest is super lightweight and perfect for layering over a sweater or hoodie. This is also made of recycled material.
I'm wearing it over my Aviator Nation hoodie and it was a nice fit. I love the color!

I was able to get both items for a total $149.14!! Total savings is 65% off. Honestly I would have been thrilled to pay $125 for the jacket and $75 for the sweatshirt. It's insane I was able to get the jacket for $88.62 and the sweatshirt for $49.47. On top of that this isn't even finale sale. It's still returnable!

Wow! That's an awesome deal! It'd be so neat if Athelta could've lined your jacket with a cotton/flannel material as the inside lining. Vuori seems to be expanding quickly, recently read that they're opening up in China. They have already opened a handful of brick and mortar locations in the SF Bay Area, there's even an outlet location. Have a great Halloween weekend!
ReplyDeleteHi Jean L! Yeah, the lining is a little cheapy to me. Sigh. But at least it looks great and fits well! I haven't ordered anything from Vuori in a long time. Not many of their tops fit me and I really have enough joggers from them to last me a long long time. Sounds like they are expanding super fast. There is one store in Atlanta, but it's a little far from where I am. Wish they would open up another closer to me. Have a great Halloween weekend too!
DeleteWow, it’s your lucky day for sure! Sadly none of the codes work on the Canadian site. :(
ReplyDeleteThe Ottoman Rib 1/4 Zip Sweatshirt is currently on sale but it’s expensive even at 25% off. Is it warm like fleece?
Andrea
Hi Andrea! Bah that sucks. Keep checking the Reddit page I linked to. Sometimes people from Canada post codes that work. The Ottoman Rib Sweatshirt has more of a ribbed feel. It's warm and soft but I don't think it's heavy fleece. It's on the thinner side if that helps.
DeleteThanks, Leslie!

I used to be a die-hard couponer so it was fun to see how you stacked the deals. You got it for a song and it looks cute on you!
ReplyDeleteThanks! It's not always as good as this order, but super happy with the final total!
