So I had always felt that the Decathlon Forclaz Men's MT100 Hooded Down Puffer Jacket was one of the best buys on the market at $79 back in the day. Then, of course, inflation happened and that same jacket started selling for $100. $100 was still a pretty good buy for this lightweight puffy that weighs in at about 11-12 ounces, and is quite warm and comfortable, which I can attest to as I’ve worn it on a couple hikes on the JMT in the last couple years. But at $100, I felt it was a bit of a disappointment, and that one could probably do just about as good at an REI garage sale event or something of the sort. But now I see Decathlon is offering the same down puffer in a non-hooded variety for $89. This is great buy, and in my mind this brings the Forclaz Men's MT100 back to being the best deal for a UL puffy jacket. I would say this jacket is a close clone to the Ghost Whisperer at about a third of the price.
