Amazon Essentials Puffy Coat with hood. $45 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07C8Y6V4G/
That is the warmest jacket I've ever owned and it's $45...with a hood. Buy it.
Amazon Essential has a Packable Down Jacket for $50, and a Packable Puffer Jacket for $40.
The only difference seems to be that the Puffer Jacket uses a synthetic filling.
I have the Puffer Jacket and can confirm that it's very warm, water resistant, and feels at least as good as the Uniqlo Ultra Light Down Jacket. I live in San Francisco, where it's perpetually kind-of-cold, and this has quickly become my go-to everyday jacket.
A parka seems too warm, and not very waterproof since you'll be sitting on the snow a lot as a beginner. Go for something thinner and waterproof like an outer shell and layer up underneath. Maybe something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Burton-Gore-Tex-Packrite-Jacket-Sauce/dp/B077TD5N4J/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=goretex%2Bshell%2Bjacket&qid=1563312062&s=gateway&sr=8-4&th=1
I agree with most of this information, but for all of the people from warm climates that will see this, the winters are absolutely manageable, and the way this person wrote the winter segment almost seems like a joke. Suggesting a windbreaker over a thick winter jacket? Perhaps just bad wording, but bad advice. Over-the-ear headphones as protective winter gear? You've got to be kidding.
But yes, if you don't dress for the weather, it's gonna suck. Coming from someone who grew up in upper midwest winters and comfortably biked through the winter for all four years at the U, here's what I think you should get to be comfortable:
It's not hard to thrift for many of these items to get them cheap. Hit the thrift store before October to get your best selection-- heck, go this weekend!

Also, after being directly connected with more students than I can count from classes and extracurriculars, I didn't know anyone who preferred using the Gopher Way. I wouldn't count on using it unless you want to add 10-30 minutes through isolated tunnels to your commute. It's far easier to reliably bundle up and walk straight to wherever you're going, as long as you can navigate the often-plowed snow (wheelchairs, crutches, and other mobility obstacles might be an exception).
Amazon has it in some different color options:

I created the info graphic myself in photoshop. I can try to help you find links for all the items if you would like.
Here are some links to the items. I couldn't find links for all of them:

BOTTOMS:

Well, for a more field jacket look, there's the Amazon Goodthreads Moto Jacket.
If you wanted a store you could go into and try on, you can go to Mark's and check out some of the Canvas jackets available there.
Help finding a (hopefully) sub-$100 packable rain shell?
I live in SoCal, so warmth isn't usually a necessity, plus I can always add layers underneath. I'm traveling to New Zealand and Australia at the end of October, and want a packable waterproof shell to bring with. Hopefully under $100. I'm looking at the Marmot PreCip Men's Lightweight Waterproof Rain Jacket, Eddie Bauer MEN'S RAINFOIL PACKABLE JACKET, and Marmot Minimalist Men's Lightweight Waterproof Rain Jacket, Gore-TEX with Paclite Technology. Would love any other suggestions. Thank you!
Winter Coat on Amazon, first thing to show up. Probably a million other places to get one like Goodwill or Salvation Army if you're really hurting on money like you claim, that's just through retail brand new
I have the 2X regular version of this one from amazon.
I have this one in Medium. 14.49 oz. It looks similar but without a hood. Heavier than I expected the "lightweight" model to be.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07C8YCDTG/
I'm trying the Goodthreads Men's Down Filled Hooded Parka, which is down to $122.50 from $175 today and the J.Crew Nordic Parka, which is about $205 after Black Friday 50 percent off sale.
Will report back!
here ya go
This is the exact one we used in the beginning of September. The sizing was pretty accurate, I'd say.
https://www.amazon.com/Columbia-Evapouration-Jacket-Black-Large/dp/B0781VY56B
Ok thanks, would you say this a decent (though cheaper-end) jacket?

And if so what color would you choose? Like what is easiest to match with?
Frogg Toggs Xtreme Lite Rain Jacket, Blue/Hi-Vis
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077H4SQMD/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_LLCvCbY7XVRZM
Have it. Love it.
It’s a little heavier than you’re looking for, but it’s super cheap and fully waterproof.
You may not have heard that Frogg Toggs makes more than just the super cheap Tyvek jacket.
Their new Xtreme Light jacket is getting some excellent reviews.
You can never wear enough reflective / LED stuff. Can recommend this jacket from Amazon https://www.amazon.com/AKFLY-Reflective-Jacket-Waterproof-Hiking/dp/B0779BQ7M9
Anyone have a recommendation for a full zip mid-layer? I like the raglan sleeves and the high neck. Looks like they have a lot that match that description.
Or thoughts on how the Marmot Gravity Jacket compares to this more generic one on Amazon.
Look a poncho. It’s $15.00
