I am looking for a knee length puffer and just ordered this one in black from Eddie Bauer for $79.00, marked down from $179.00.

Pros: not bulky, feminine shape with princess seaming, cozy flannel cuffs and collar. Great price!

Possible con: down not synthetic fill. I think there has been some recent debate about this on the forum.

I would appreciate your opinions. I've only recently started looking at puffers, but this seemed too good a deal to pass up. I tried this one on in the store (they were out of my size) and liked that it was light-weight and fitted.

I need something very warm to wear in London next year (2011) when my son marches in the New Year's Day Parade.
