Second/insulated layer jacket recommendations

Recently purchased a new shell jacket, and don’t have any insulated/second layer jackets at the moment. Any recommendations for a warm, well insulated, thinner jacket that doesn’t show while wearing a shell over it?

I’d like to stay around the price range of $100-$200, and I definitely do not want to sacrifice quality.

Thanks in advance

Seems like it'll fulfill my requirements, and REI rewards definitely come in clutch
