Fall weather is notoriously unpredictable, which is why we’re loving this extremely low price tag on a packable Champion wind and rain jacket that we found on sale during Amazon’s October Prime Day. For just $12, you might as well pick one (or a few) up to keep in your car or tote bag just in case a storm unexpectedly blows through.
This packable, water-resistant and wind-resistant anorak jacket has unisex vibes and looks great for fall’s rainy days. Featuring a quarter-zip pullover style for easy on and off layering (like a more attractive rain poncho), it’ll easily fit in a tote or backpack so you have it on hand if the weather shifts suddenly.
The coating on the jacket is made to stop the elements from permeating and getting you chilled or soaked, which is exactly what we need as the weather changes. It’s also pretty on-trend as far as rain jackets go: The brand’s been experiencing something of a rebirth over the past few years, and it’s fully in style now with the return of ’90s and Y2K styles.
The packability of this particular jacket is a major plus as well. If you don’t need it, just fold it up into its front pocket for easy on-the-go storage.
While the black colorway is the cheapest in the small and medium sizes at the moment, others colors and sizes are still marked down pretty significantly. The olive and navy versions, for example, are both going for $13, while a bright red hue is up for grabs at $18, so there are a ton of options if you and the family or you and some friends each want to order your own. (Though color pricing and availability may vary as Prime Day goes on.)
Why this is such a good deal on the Champion packable rain jacket
If you look at the price history (which we always do), the price on this jacket usually hovers around $30, not $50 as Amazon lists. Still, this deal means it’s more than half off, which is enough of a reason for us to give it a go as temperatures drop and the seasonal weird weather picks up.
Why you should trust CNN Underscored
CNN Underscored makes finding the best of the best quite literally our job; we track prices on our favorite brands and products throughout the year, meaning that when big sales like Amazon Prime Day hit, we know exactly what’s a good deal, and what’s just marketing fluff. While we haven’t tried out this particular jacket yet, we believe that the super-low $12 Prime Day price tag (down from its full price of $50 and typical $30 sale price) combined with Amazon’s flexible return policy makes it worth adding to your cart, given Champion’s reputation for quality gear.
