Puffer Jacket

What is the difference between a puffer and a down jacket?

A puffer coat or quilted jacket is an insulated jacket with added synthetic materials to hold heat and provide warmth in cold weather. The only difference between the puffer and down jacket is the insulation type used. A puffer like the north face puffer jacket uses puffed polyester fibers to create air pockets that trap heat and offer insulation. The down jacket counterparts use soft plumage from geese or duck's undersides. The plumage provides exceptional insulation and, at the same time, it's lightweight. It's the preferred choice to wear during outdoor activities, such as hiking or camping.

When can you wear puffer jackets?

Puffer jackets such as the Aritzia super puffs are worn by all genders and are popular for winter sports such as snowboarding or everyday wear in cold regions. Other than offering insulation and warmth, they are water resistant. A few, like the Moncler puffer jackets, are waterproof and protect against snow and precipitation. You can wear such jackets as fashion statements. Recently they have become trendy and stylish outdoor outfit options. For instance, you can combine denim, a white puffer jacket, and a simple t-shirt for a casual look. People who love neutral colors can combine beige, brown, or black puffer jackets, leggings, and sneakers for an athletic look. The possibilities are limitless.

Difference between a women's and men's puffer jacket

The difference between a men's and women's puffer jacket is its cut and fit. The men's puffer jackets have a relaxed and boxy roomy fit, while the women's puffer jackets have a tapered fit suitable for the women's physique. The women's down jackets also have unique elements such as fur, ruffles, colors, or embellishments. Moreover, they come in different patterns, cuts, and prints, such as the cropped puffer jacket, belted waist jacket, or the short-sleeved for ladies who love variety. The men's puffer jackets have a classic- understated make with subdued neutral colors.
