What reviewers say
HOODED BELTED HYBRID DOWN PUFFER
Rated 4.7 out of 5 from 68 ratings, so owners are broadly satisfied. The pattern across puffer reviews of this type is that warmth, the belted shape and the hood draw praise, while bulk and shell durability draw complaints.
- Warmth from the high down fill in real winter cold
- The belt makes a puffer look less boxy
- Hood and tall collar keep wind off the neck
- Long length covers hips and thighs
- Feels bulky and restrictive when sitting
- Shell can show wear or snags over time
- Down clumps if not dried thoroughly after washing
Patagonia Tres 3-in-1 Parka
With 4.4 out of 5 from 538 ratings, owners mostly praise the Tres for its versatility. Reviewers say the layering system handles a wide range of temperatures, conditions and activities.
Questions and answers
- Which is better for rain and wet snow?
- The Patagonia Tres. Its H2No shell is waterproof and windproof. The puffer lists a polyester shell with no waterproof rating.
- Which is warmer?
- The puffer is built as a winter down coat with a long cut and a fixed hood. The Patagonia's 700-fill liner is warm but thinner, and its strength is layering the shell over it.
- Is the Patagonia worth the extra money?
- If you face wet weather or wide temperature swings, yes. You get a waterproof shell and a removable down jacket in one. For dry cold only, the puffer covers you for less.
- Which lasts longer?
- The Patagonia has the sturdier build on paper: a waterproof shell, recycled down and a removable hood, backed by 538 ratings. The puffer's shell has no weatherproof rating, so wear shows sooner in wet conditions.
- Can I wear the Patagonia in fall?
- Yes. Wear the shell alone or the liner alone in milder weather, and zip them together for deep winter.
- Which has a belt?
- Only the puffer. It has a removable self-tie belt. The Patagonia has no belt.
