![]() ![]() Life is about to get a whole lot cosier…įor more fashion, grooming, and technology releases delivered straight to your inbox, sign up for our GQ Recommends newsletter. Which is why, just in time for the turn of the seasons, we’ve done our duty in scouring the online outerwear rails to bring you the best puffer jackets to beat the chill. An efficient insulator, the outer garment allowed for the trapping and retention of warm air, making it a very popular choice for those enduring harsh winter. In fact, puffer jackets are the winter coat of choice for such men’s style icons as David Beckham, Drake, Daniel Craig and Frank Ocean, to name just a few. With everyone from sports and outdoor brands such as Nike and The North Face to fashion houses such as Gucci and Prada getting down with the puffer jacket this season, there’s no need for a comfortable coat to come at the expense of your discerning sense of style. Down-filled for supreme outerwear insulation, the puffer is the perfect coat for those who have rightly prioritised comfortable, cosy wardrobe additions this year, offering the snugness of your beloved duvet even on the most teeth-chattering winter walk. In fact, those days are made for the puffer jacket. In the real world, other factors come in to play, like level of physical activity and whether you run hot or cold.Let's be honest, on the coldest of English mornings, when frost is covering every surface and your car is closer to operating as a fridge, those more sophisticated wool overcoats just don't cut it. That can be helpful in some ways, but you should know that these ratings are based on lab-controlled environments. (You can think of this like comparing wattages between LED bulbs and incandescent bulbs.) Sometimes you'll get a temperature rating that will tell you how cold the jacket is rated for. Some brands will label their jackets with a ‘down fill equivalent’ to approximate the level of warmth to the more conventional system. Because there are so many different materials used as down alternatives, each one has different insulating properties which don't often translate directly to a down fill power rating. While friendlier options are welcomed, it also makes the rating system more confusing. Shop lightweight, waterproof, long, cropped, and puffer styles and more. Down alternatives, like recycled polyester and natural kapok, have become increasingly popular among more earth-conscious and animal-welfare conscious consumers. From urban jungles to unknown trails, The North Face jackets for men, women, and kids are equipped to keep you comfortable on the go.
