How to Choose a Good Puffer Jacket?
An insulated jacket is a warm and comfortable piece of clothing, ideal for protecting against the cold. There are different types, each with its own characteristics. To choose the right model for you, it is important to consider your body shape and how you intend to use it.
A Lightweight, Quilted Jacket for Skiing and Snow Sports
Some ski jackets are well-insulated, while others are simply waterproof, windproof, and breathable. In such cases, an insulating layer is necessary. If you follow the three-layer principle, an insulated jacket serves as the essential second layer, providing warmth.
When choosing a ski jacket, you should consider what type of mid-layer you want. Since insulation is crucial, an insulated jacket is a great choice. Opt for a lightweight one, as a bulky model may make you feel uncomfortably restricted.
An Insulated Jacket That Keeps You Warm
To fully enjoy the après-ski experience and move around the resort more comfortably than in a ski jacket, you can opt for a well-insulated jacket. These are usually filled with down and feathers, which are considered the most effective insulation for winter temperatures.
Some of the jackets selected by Glisshop are designed for casual wear, while others are specifically intended for more demanding activities such as mountaineering. Certain models are also suitable for riders embarking on multi-day expeditions in extreme temperatures.
A Shoulder-Season Model for Outdoor and Mountain Activities
Manufacturers continue to innovate with technical insulated jackets that are designed to be versatile for autumn and spring. These models are equally suited for everyday wear in the city or for hiking in the mountains. The key feature is their easy on-and-off wearability, providing just the right amount of warmth for all your mid-season outdoor activities.
What is the Difference Between a Puffer and a Coat?
Are you unsure whether to choose a puffer or a coat for winter? There are notable differences between the two. A down jacket is lighter and often shorter than a coat, making it more practical for daily wear. It is also generally more affordable. However, a parka offers better protection against harsh weather, particularly wind and rain, though many insulated jackets are water-repellent.
With or Without Sleeves?
Insulated jackets come in both sleeved and sleeveless versions.
A long-sleeve insulated jacket is usually warmer, covering both the torso and arms for full protection against the cold. Some hooded models function as stand-alone jackets and can easily be worn as such.
A sleeveless insulated jacket is typically lighter and more minimalist. It provides warmth to the torso and back—key areas for retaining body heat—while offering maximum freedom of movement for the arms. A sleeveless down vest is often used as an additional layer for skiing, hiking, mountaineering, and other activities.
Choosing between a sleeved or sleeveless jacket also comes down to style. Pick the model that you find most appealing and that best suits your needs.
Which Fit to Choose for Men and Women?
For men, there are three main fits: straight, fitted, and relaxed. A straight fit suits all body types, while a fitted cut is ideal for slim or athletic builds. A relaxed fit works well for taller or broader men.
For women, there are two main fits: fitted and relaxed. A fitted cut enhances the silhouette and is very comfortable, making it suitable for slim and sporty women. A relaxed fit is not just for curvier figures—it suits all body types and often features extra padding for insulation.
What Is the Difference Between Goose/Duck Down and Synthetic Insulation?
High-end models are typically filled with goose or duck down and feathers. This lightweight material offers excellent thermal insulation and breathability. Goose down jackets are extremely packable, making them easy to pack in a backpack and pull out when needed. However, they do have one drawback: they are vulnerable to moisture. While most down jackets have a water-repellent treatment, prolonged exposure to rain or snow can cause the down to absorb water, reducing its insulating properties.
For this reason, manufacturers have developed synthetic insulated jackets, which remain warm even when wet. Slightly heavier than down jackets, these synthetic insulated jackets are generally more durable and versatile.
The Benefits of a Heated Jacket
Heated jackets are an excellent way to stay warm in extremely cold conditions. Just as easy to put on and take off as regular jackets, they are comfortable for all-day wear. Their key feature is a built-in heating system powered by a rechargeable battery. Heated gloves and socks operate on the same principle.
