Alpine Swiss Niko Men’s Puffer Jacket Warm Down Alternative Insulated Coat | Packable Water-Resistant & Windproof Winter Outerwear with Zipper Pockets

This is my first down or down alternative jacket. I once had a down/ down comforter and it is difficult to describe the down or down alternative experience. It is like it is heavy (think dense) but light weight all at the same time. I remember my down or down alternative comforter was expensive (it was also luxurious and FELT expensive)- the same is true of this jacket! I also remember my down or down alternative comforter was SO great at being compressed for storage- and so is this jacket! This will be my GO TO coat to pack when travelling. It does not make you feel like it is too bulky- especially given how much warmth it provides you. The first time I wore it, my husband was wearing his regular winter coat (it was quite cold out- our first snow flakes of the year were falling but it was the wind that was killing us). He was still chilled while I was nice and toasty! The water resistance was nice as the snow (pellets?) were melting as soon as they hit me. I love, love, love that this jacket is machine washable! Nice sized pockets held my phone and keys perfectly.

My husband absolutely loves this jacket! It's very light weight, but can keep anyone incredibly warm! It was 30 degrees last night, and my husband wore his coat while taking our daughter trick or treating. He was so toasty and warm the entire night! We travel quite frequently, I love that the coat is easy to pack, and it takes up very little room. Definitely purchasing more from this brand!
