To give you an idea:

In men’s coats, Marshall’s and TJ MAXX currently have some of last year’s colors in the Columbia Bugaboo 3-in-1 parka for $99. This is a waterproof/breathable shell with Columbia’s version of Goretex with a zip out heavy fleece liner. It’s $175 at REI or department stores and is more jacket than the $99 LLBean version. But, you might not have a choice of color/sizes.

I just got this one, a step-up model from the Columbia Titanium line, for $93 with the discount. This one has a polyester fill type liner because I didn’t need another fleece and the smooth nylon fabric of this liner is easier to take on and off. I took the liner out when the jacket arrived and will only put it back in when it gets seriously cold (in the teens) or if I were going to be out all day. Otherwise, I’ll just wear it as a waterproof winter shell over whatever fleece or sweater I’m already wearing.:

But, you’ve got to know what you are looking for and browse the models, colors, and sizes.
