Calvin Klein Hooded Puffer Jacket vs Calvin Klein Long Puffer Coat

The short hooded puffer is the better everyday pick: it packs down, has a drawstring hem and zip pockets, and suits layering in mild cold. The long coat with diagonal stitching and faux fur hood lining covers more of the body and reads dressier, but it is a fall-weight polyester shell with no stated water resistance or packability. Both are Calvin Klein nylon/polyester puffers with machine wash care; owners of this style of short packable jacket tend to praise the light weight and complain about thin loft in real cold.

• Choose the short hooded puffer if you want a packable, water-resistant layer for travel, commuting or mild winter days.
• Choose the long puffer coat if you want more coverage and a dressier look for fall and early winter.
