Puffer jackets, sometimes called down or quilted coats, are insulated jackets with “puffy” sections that are filled with various kinds of insulation.
They’re super popular because, unlike other types of coats and jackets, they’re lightweight yet incredibly warm. This is what makes puffer coats perfect for cold weather and snowy seasons.
Puffers are usually made of breathable nylon or polyester blends. Some jackets also feature a water-repellent coating.
I love puffer coats because they keep you warm and cozy without compromising your style.
But when it comes to styles and features, there are dozens of options to choose from. This is obviously a good thing, but it makes it that much harder to find the right coat for you.
I’ve spent hours online researching my must-haves for good-quality winter gear and rounded up some of the best women’s puffer jackets that I think you’ll love and as always, offering a range of sizes and price points.
Let’s go shopping!
15 Best Puffer Jackets for Women
Long Puffer Jackets For Women
Everlane ReNew Long Puffer In Black
The ReNew Long Puffer
Everlane
$278.00For a high-quality long puffer jacket that’s worth every penny, look no further than the ReNew Long Puffer from Everlane. It features oversized button flap pockets, a drawstring hood, and a drawstring waist that can be cinched to create a flattering silhouette.
You don’t have to worry about staying warm and dry in this puffer thanks to the soft Primaloft insulation and waterproof shell. Everlane describes the warmth level of this coat as “extra warm.”
UNIQLO Seamless Down Long Coat In Black
Seamless Down Long Coat In Black
UNIQLO
$180.00If a chic wind-resistant coat is one of your must-haves, consider the Seamless Down Long Coat from UNIQLO. Its seamless design won’t cramp your style, no matter whether you’re running errands or dressing up for date night.
In addition to protecting you from brutal wind gusts, this coat will also keep you exceptionally dry and warm, even in the nastiest winter weather. It features a water-repellent finish and premium down with a fill power of 750.
Since a removable hood isn’t a requirement for me, I’d say there’s only one drawback to owning this coat; it’s recommended that you hand wash it in cold water to prolong water resistance.
If having to hand wash a puffer jacket isn’t a problem for you, consider this coat a perfect fit.
The UNIQLO Seamless Down Long Coat comes in sizes XXS to XXL.
Talbots Hooded Down Puffer Coat
Hooded Down Pufer Coat
Talbots
$269.00If you didn’t already know, I love Talbots. They offer a range of inclusive sizes and a ton of stunning, classic styles that routinely find their way into my closet.
Their red Hooded Down Puffer Coat is no exception. If you own this coat, plan to wear it every chance you get. You’ll love it that much.
It features down fill for impressive heat retention, as well as a cozy hood and longer length for extra protection from the elements.
Bernardo Walker Double Stitch Recycled Polyester Puffer Coat with Removable Bib
Walker Double Stitch Recycled Polyester Puffer Coat with Removable Bib
Bernardo
$130.00Rounding out my favorite long puffer jackets for women is this stylish coat from Bernardo. I’ve been eyeing it in Arctic Blue.
This puffer coat stood out because of its double-stitched chevron quilting. Although its other features are just as noteworthy.
To make sure you stay extra warm, the Walker Double Stitch Recycled Polyester Puffer Coat has a removable zip bib with an adjustable hood, a stand collar, and soft lining.

Lands’ End Wanderweight Ultralight Packable Hooded Long Down Jacket
Wanderweight Ultralight Packable Hooded Long Down Jacket
Lands’ End
$185.00The name of this puffer jacket says it all. Packable? Check. Lightweight? Check. Super warm? Check!

L.L.Bean Women’s PrimaLoft Packaway Hooded Jacket
PrimaLoft Packaway Hooded Jacket
L.L. Bean
$199.99I consider L.L.Bean to be a brand you can trust to produce high-quality clothing. The PrimaLoft Packaway Hooded Jacket is no exception!
To ensure that this jacket would be one of the “lightest synthetic-insulated jackets ever” L.L.Bean used a combination of Aerogel, the world’s lightest material that was developed by NASA, and PrimaLoft Gold Insulation.
It’ll definitely keep you warm without adding a ton of bulk. Which is what allows it to be effortlessly stowed away into a pocket.
As if all that wasn’t impressive enough, it’s also water- and wind-resistant.
Lightweight Puffer Jackets For Women
Old Navy Quilted Puffer Jacket for Women

To protect you from the elements, it features a funnel collar, front zip pockets, and elastic cuffs and hem. It’s the perfect lightweight jacket that you can easily dress up or down.

LOFT Sateen Puffer Jacket
Sateen Puffer Jacket
LOFT
$180.00Here’s another super stylish, lightweight puffer. Remember earlier when I mentioned the potential to stay warm and cozy without sacrificing your style? The Sateen Puffer Jacket from LOFT is a great example of that.
With four different colors to choose from (my vote is for the green, above) and a wide range of sizes, from XXS to XXL in regular or petite, it’s practically impossible to not love this lightweight puffer.
The North Face ThermoBall Eco Hooded Parka
ThermoBall™ Hooded Parka
The North Face
$280.00Not only is the ThermoBall Eco Hooded Parka one of the best lightweight puffer jackets for women, but it’s also one of the best overall puffer jackets for women.
As a more slim-fitted coat, this puffer jacket is ultra-light and deceivingly warm. It’ll keep you dry too, thanks to its water-repellent finish. It’s also packable–it folds up into its own chest pocket!
I love that the ThermoBall Eco Parka also offers inclusive sizing. It’s available in sizes XS to 3X.
Further proof that this North Face puffer jacket hits all the right notes: it’s made from 100% recycled materials.
