The weather got colder much earlier this year. We even saw snow sooner than we have in recent years here in New Jersey and I am not mad about it! Andrew and I went on a walk yesterday and I realized how ideal my go-to puffer (plus here,regular here), is and snapped some pics on my phone to share! I recently chatted about my favorite long puffer over on Instagram, which is awesome for those really freezing days or for when it is snowing hard, and in my opinion, is necessary! But for those standard cold days that make up most of the season, I love this Lightweight Packable Puffer. It comes in regular and plus, fits great, is incredibly warm and great for layering.
Let’s start with a few specs on the coat: it keeps you warm down to 7 degrees (comparable to the Patagonia Nano Jacket)- impressive for an ultralight jacket. It is also appropriate for warmth up to the mid 30’s, making it great for everyday use. It’s water resistant and has static resistant thread. Not that many of us are traveling right now, but the jacket is PACKABLE! It just rolls up into a little zip bag. Making it optimal for storing in the off season if you’re tight on closet space, or want to keep it tidy and compact in your car.
The fit is really wonderful (plus here, regular here). It hits mid-hip so it covers most of my bum. A huge pet peeve of mine is when cold weather jackets/coats are cut a little too short and my midsection gets chilly. That is not of concern here! The shape of the jacket has a little curve to it, so it grooves with your body instead of a vertical sleeping bag vibe (which some coats can be lol). I am in my traditional 1x here and have zero complaints about the fit. Down jackets are first and foremost meant to keep you warm and be practical, but this couples those notions with looking cute. A win win! When I say it is SO lightweight and easy, that is an understatement.
