Nike Puffer Jacket Review
The nylon used in the body and lining of this jacket makes it very durable. This means that even the wrath of nature will have a hard time causing it damage, especially with rain and wind.
This jacket also has a number of features that make it very comfortable. It has a soft and cozy inner lining as well as adjustable hood and cuffs.
Waterproof
The rain and snow can’t stop you from getting outdoors in this Nike puffer jacket. It is waterproof, has angled quilt seams, music compatible pockets and a removable hood. The 10K mm 2 layer recycled slub tafetta fabric and 600+ goose down insulation keep you warm. It also features pit zips, a powder skirt and adjustable hood. This is a great jacket for skiers and snowboarders who want to stay active in cold weather.
Wind and water resistant ripstop outer fabric protects this Nike puffer from Chicago’s nasty weather. It has a relaxed fit, but still feels athletic and is easy to layer. The hood is a little on the snug side, but Nike’s Therma-FIT technology manages your body heat and keeps you comfortable.
Windproof
This puffer jacket from Nike’s impressive trail running line is marketed as both windproof and waterproof, and our testers found it held up well in light rain. The athletic slim fit is a bit snug for some, though, and it may need to be sized up if you plan to wear it for long runs or races. Some were also bothered by the fact that it doesn’t breathe as well as other jackets, causing it to billow when you run and hold in sweat.
Therma-FIT insulation and recycled fleece lining keep you warm without adding too much bulk. It has an internal hood and elastic at the cuffs and hemline to keep out cold weather. A double zipper design allows you to zip it from both directions.
Lightweight
One of the best things about a puffer jacket is that it’s usually pretty lightweight, meaning you can layer underneath without feeling bulky. Plus, many styles come in flattering colors and silhouettes to suit your winter outfit.
If you’re in the market for a short puffer that packs a style punch, check out this black-and-white floral jacket from Target’s plus-size brand Ava & Viv. It’s also available in several other bold colors.
For a longer option, try the Girlfriend Collective Long Puffer. It’s insulated with eco-friendly PrimaLoft, which is made from recycled plastic water bottles that would otherwise end up in landfills. The jacket is wind-resistant, water-repellent, and designed to keep you toasty warm in temps as low as -22 degrees. It also features a removable hood, cozy ribbed cuffs, and a hidden zipper closure.
Comfortable
Blown-in Thermore EcoDown insulation gives this long sleeve puffer jacket the look and feel of down, while the wind-resistant construction and rugged ripstop fabric keep you comfortable. Strategically placed stretch knit extends your range of motion for a fluid swing, and the roomy hood and storm flap help you shield yourself from the elements.
A hefty zipper and hook-and-loop closure where the collar meets the hood block out cold air, while Nike Therma-FIT technology helps manage your natural heat. Zipper pockets provide easy storage, and drawcords at the hood and hem let you customize the fit.
Made with waterproof ripstop fabric, this women’s Therma-FIT Loose Puffer Jacket is ideal for wet conditions. The oversized design allows you to layer easily, and the water resistant lining keeps you dry when it rains.
