Which is warmer for a cold winter?

The beige down puffer. Down and feather fill traps more heat than the light-weight jacket's polyester fill, and its longer cut covers more of the body.

Which is better for travel?

The light-weight hooded jacket. It is packable and water resistant, while the down puffer is bulky and has no stated water resistance.

Is the down coat worth it over the cheaper-looking option?

The down coat is already cheaper: $67.99 at eBay versus $72.75 at Amazon as of November 4, 2026. It wins on warmth and length; the light-weight jacket wins on packability and rain.

Can either go in the washing machine?

Yes, both are machine washable. Tumble the down coat on low with dryer balls to restore loft, and avoid fabric softener on either.

Down holds its loft for years if washed and dried properly, so the beige puffer should outlast a light-weight polyester jacket that compresses over time. The light-weight jacket's nylon shell resists rain better.

Yes. The beige coat has an attached hood with faux-fur lining; the light-weight jacket has a plain hood.
