Best women's puffer coats

Top pick: Patagonia Jackson Glacier. Real 700-fill recycled down in a weatherproof shell — the one here built for genuine cold and wet, and the one that lasts. Best if you want a single coat to see you through winter.

• Marmot Thea — 700-fill down with water-resistant treatment at a fraction of the price; the smart-value down pick for everyday cold.
• lululemon Wunder Puff — down-filled and hooded, cut for a sleeker city look.
• Alo Aspen Love / Gold Rush — style-first puffers for milder days and dressing up.
• Ozark Trail Ultra Long — long-line coverage on a budget.
• Big Chill Packable — light and packable for travel or layering; sizes to 3X.
• Calvin Klein hooded packable — a dressier hooded option at a steep markdown.

Skip the no-name ultra-cheap coats if you need real warmth — thin fill and vague sizing.
