    Here is a link.550 Down Jacket.
    It seems like an ok jacket but I wonder how good it is at blocking wind in the center since it doesn't have a center zip only snaps. For $20 it might be worth checking out.

    Yes wind will find its way in (I have the vest) but for $20 it will be the perfect jacket to stuff in a pack for a day hike or to sleep in if it gets chilly during winter trips. It would make a great pillow too.

    How small does it stuff?
    I actually would rather have snaps to be able to open the bottom or middle which you can't do with a zipper.

    Atreus, would you post the weight of this jacket once you get it. Great price! I have a lightweight down jacket. Absolutely love it. In summer I take it to stuff as pillow and if there's an unexpected dip in temps I have something to keep me warm. Spring/fall it's my middle layer. Winter is one of my insulating layers. It's always in my pack.
