Women's Puffer Jackets

HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT PUFFER JACKET FOR WOMEN

A puffer jacket can vary significantly in weight, cost and performance, and the right puffer jacket for you will obviously depend on how and where you plan to use it. Here's what you need to consider when choosing the right women's puffer jacket in Australia:

TYPE OF FILLING

Most women's puffer jackets will be filled with either synthetic or down insulation. Both types of insulation can produce warm, lightweight and packable jackets, however they do perform differently in certain conditions. While down jackets will provide better breathability and packability, they aren't too good in wet conditions and are also typically more expensive. Synthetics will often perform better in wet weather as they won't clump together when wet like down, but won't provide the same breathability or weight-to-warmth ratio as down will.

WARMTH

Puffer jackets for women can vary in warmth depending on the type of insulation and the quantity used. To find out which type of winter jacket is best for you depending on your needs, check out our Outerwear Buying Guide to learn everything you need to know.

WEIGHT

While a women's puffer jacket will always be a versatile and lightweight option, it can vary in weight depending on what kind of insulation it has. However, the difference in weight between women's puffer jackets and down jackets will only be of concern if you're planning to use your puffer jacket when hiking for extended periods or in other situations where every extra gram matters. If this is the case, you'll probably need to look for a down jacket for its superior warmth-to-weight ratio.

WATER-RESISTANT VS WATERPROOF

The difference between a water-resistant and waterproof puffer jacket is largely down to the fabric used to make the garment. Water-resistant material is woven very tightly so that water struggles to get through - but with enough rain, a water-resistant jacket will let some water in. On the other hand, waterproof fabric provides a complete barrier to water.

FUNCTIONALITY

It's also a good idea to think about what functionality is important to you. Do you need your puffer jacket to be fully waterproof, have a hood, have a vest style or be super lightweight? Some puffer jackets for women will do some of these things better than others, so it's helpful to know what matters most to you.
