Puffer jackets for cold weather

A puffer jacket traps warmth in stitched baffles filled with down or synthetic insulation, which makes it one of the most reliable ways to stay warm in a British winter. Choose from short, cropped and long puffer coats in sizes for men, women and kids. Compare styles across UK retailers and follow the link to the shop that sells the one you want. Colours range from black and navy to bright tones, and many designs include a hood, which is handy for wind and light showers.

Men’s and women’s puffer jackets compared

Men’s puffer jackets tend to favour a boxy cut with a high collar, while a women’s puffer jacket may be shaped at the waist or cut longer. A black puffer jacket is the easy everyday choice, but olive, navy and bright colours are popular too. If you want something lighter and more structured, our harrington jackets offer a ribbed, sporty look that works for spring and autumn. Check the sleeve length and the elastic cuffs as well, since a good seal around the wrists keeps cold air out on the coldest mornings.

Down or synthetic puffer jacket fill?

A goose down jacket offers a high warmth for its weight and packs down small, but it loses insulation when soaked. Synthetic fill copes better with damp weather and is usually easier to wash. Look for a water-repellent outer, a storm flap over the zip and an adjustable hood. For serious snow days, a technical option from our ski jackets adds taped seams and a snow skirt. Water-resistant outer fabric also helps, because even the best fill cannot do its job once the shell is soaked and the baffles clump together.

Long puffer coats and styling

A long puffer coat covers the thighs and keeps the wind off, which makes it a favourite for commuting and dog walks. Wear it open over a hoodie or zipped up with a scarf. Detachable hoods, fleece-lined pockets and a drawcord waist all help comfort. Cropped styles pair well with high-waisted trousers, while longer cuts look sharp over tailoring and smart boots. Fit matters here too: leave room for a jumper, but avoid a size so big that the baffles slump and warm air escapes at the hem.
