Puffer Jackets for Men, Women and Kids: Warm, Simple, Ready to Ship
Do you know why a puffer jacket sells so well every winter? The answer is simple: it keeps you warm without weighing you down. That’s why we put this category page together. If you’re shopping for puffer jackets at New USA Jackets and living in the USA, Canada, or Mexico, here’s what you should know before you buy.
Where the Puffer Jacket Came From?
It’s a tale from 1936. A Seattle outdoorsman named Eddie Bauer became cold while fishing, returned home, and created a quilted goose-down jacket that he patented in 1940. The fill is held in place by stitched sections, known as baffles. Today, many quilted puffer jackets are based on this concept.
Later, mountain brands and streetwear culture brought the puffer jacket into everyday life. Now a puffer works just as well on a New York commute as it does on a Toronto sidewalk.
Why People Keep Buying a Puffer Jacket
It comes down to a few things:
- It’s warm for its weight.
- It works for school, work, travel, and weekends.
- It comes in a wide range of price points.
- Many styles are easy to wash and maintain at home.
Lightweight Packable Puffer Jacket: Pick for Travelling
If you have to select just one, opt for a light, packable puffer jacket. It folds into its pocket, making it easy to take in a carry-on or backpack. It can also be used as a mid-layer under a rain shell.
A packable puffer jacket makes sense in cities like Los Angeles, Houston, and Mexico City, where mornings can be cold but afternoons are often mild. Look for a light puffer jacket with a water-repellent finish and a stuff sack.
Black Puffer Jacket: The Safe Choice
A black puffer jacket is one of the most versatile choices, and it’s easy to see why. It goes with jeans, work pants, and gym wear. You’ll find it as a men’s puffer jacket, a puffer jacket for women, and in kids’ sizes.
Prefer something different? White, pink, brown, green, and red puffer jackets are also popular choices.
Puffer Jacket Women: Cropped, Long or Hooded
The style options for women are especially diverse. High-waisted pants pair well with a cropped puffer jacket. A long puffer jacket provides additional coverage for walks through Chicago or Vancouver. When it’s windy, a hooded puffer jacket offers added protection.
For a fur-trimmed look, choose faux fur for a stylish alternative to real fur.
Men’s Puffer Jacket Options That Fit Real Life
For men, we suggest a men’s puffer jacket with hood for cold weather and a lightweight puffer jacket for spring and fall. A puffer vest is also useful because it keeps your core warm while leaving your arms free.
Boys, Girls and Kids Puffer Jackets
Children grow quickly, and parents need warm, durable, and reasonably priced coats. The ideal kids puffer jacket should have an easy-to-use zipper, snug cuffs, and a comfortable hood while allowing children to move freely. We stock boys’ puffer jackets, girls’ puffer jackets, and toddler sizes.
Down vs. Synthetic: What to Check
A down puffer jacket offers excellent warmth for minimal weight. One drawback is that down can lose insulating performance when it becomes wet. Synthetic insulation generally retains more warmth when damp and is often more affordable.
Fill power indicates the loft and insulating performance of down. Around 550 to 650 is generally considered mid-range, while 700 and above is typically considered high quality.
Another important consideration is water resistance. Most puffer jackets are water-resistant rather than fully waterproof. If you’re looking for a waterproof puffer jacket, look for features such as taped seams and waterproof construction.
Which Puffer Jacket Is Right for Your City?
- Canada and the northern USA: Choose a long, hooded winter puffer jacket with appropriate insulation for cold conditions.
- Southern USA and Mexico: Choose a packable lightweight puffer jacket for cool mornings and evenings.
- Sale season: Black Friday in the USA, Boxing Day in Canada, and Buen Fin in Mexico can be useful times to compare seasonal deals.
