Puffer Jackets for Reliable Warmth in Cold Conditions
We don’t typically call jackets puffers, but it’s a word that’s commonly used for insulated jackets with visible quilted baffles that hold down or synthetic insulation in place.
Layering easily and offering essential warmth when temperatures drop, puffers—yep, we used it again—are intended to be worn often in a variety of conditions and easily packed away when not in use.
Like other insulated jackets, puffer jackets are primarily designed to hold in heat. A puffer works as an outer layer in cool or cold weather, or as an insulating midlayer under a shell in rainy, snowy or unpredictable conditions.
Everyday Insulated Jackets for Men, Women and Kids
Our men's insulated jackets and women's insulated jackets are built to meet the same demands and performance criteria. The differences are in fit and patterning, not warmth or durability. We make a range of options with different fits, features and materials that are well suited for commuting, day hikes or cold-weather work and travel.
For a full comparison of constructions and warmth levels, explore our full range of men’s insulated jackets and women’s insulated jackets. Insulated styles are also available for younger explorers in our collection of baby and toddler jackets and vests, designed to provide dependable warmth for years of outdoor play—and get handed down to smaller ones for more seasons of fun.
Choosing an Insulated Jacket With or Without a Hood
An insulated jacket with a hood adds more protection for stormy conditions and helps reduce heat loss around the head and neck. Non-hooded versions layer cleanly under shells and work well as streamlined midlayers.
The right choice depends on your own needs and preferences. If your insulated jacket serves as your primary outer layer, a hood can add essential warmth and weather protection. If you spend time outdoors in rainy or snowy conditions and wear a waterproof or waterproof/breathable shell with its own hood, a hoodless insulating jacket may be the better option.
Nano Puff Jackets: Durable, Packable and Warm When Wet
Favorite weather-resistant midlayers for almost any outdoor pursuit, our Nano Puff® jackets and vests stand out for their trusty combination of low weight, packability and warmth even when wet. Performing in varied conditions and layering easily with other pieces in your kit, Nano Puffs are practical, durable pieces meant to be worn hard, repaired when needed, and relied on season after season.
Versatile Lightweight Jackets and Vests for Everyday Wear
Easy to pack and carry, lightweight jackets and vests are also easy to throw on over a fleece, hoody or midlayer when blustery weather rolls in.
Ideal for everyday wear, many styles can be compressed into a pocket or packed down small and at the ready in a backpack, hip pack or travel bag. Men's lightweight jackets and women's lightweight jackets are designed to balance warmth and mobility. Windbreakers give you go-anywhere weather resistance, while insulated styles the retain heat, shed light precip and hold up to wear and tear from pack straps and day-in, day-out use.
FAQ
What is the difference between a puffer jacket and an insulated jacket?
A puffer jacket is a common term for an insulated jacket with visible, quilted baffles filled with down or synthetic insulation. ‘Insulated jacket’ is the broader term that includes puffers and other jackets designed to retain warmth in cool or cold weather.
Is a lightweight jacket warm enough for winter?
A lightweight jacket can be warm enough for mild winter conditions. In colder temperatures and climates, layering it with additional insulation or a shell will level up your overall warmth.
What is a packable jacket used for?
A packable jacket is designed to compress into a small space for travel, everyday wear or backcountry use. It provides warmth without taking up much room in a bag.
Should I choose an insulated jacket with a hood?
An insulated jacket with a hood provides added coverage in cold or windy weather. If you plan to layer your insulated jacket under a separate shell with its own hood, a hoodless option may be more comfortable.
Are men's insulated jackets and women's insulated jackets equally warm? Men's insulated jackets and women's insulated jackets are built to deliver comparable warmth and durability. The primary differences are fit and patterning.
