Men's Waterproof Long Winter Puffer Coat vs Champion Men's Long Puffer With Hood

Buy the Pioneer Camp long puffer if you face real cold, rain or snow and want a hood you can remove, a two-way zipper and a 3000mm waterproof membrane. The Champion is the simpler pick: a known brand, wind-resistant and heavyweight, with an attached hood and a 43.5-inch length. Owners of the Pioneer Camp call it very warm, dry in cold rain and light for its size, but some find the chest tight over a hoodie and the hood is fixed on the listing even though the spec sheet says removable. Champion's 3.9 rating from a small set of reviews is thinner evidence, so the Pioneer Camp is the safer bet on warmth and weather protection.

• Choose the Pioneer Camp long puffer if you want a waterproof membrane, a removable hood, a two-way zipper and knee-length coverage for cold rain, snow or hiking.
• Choose the Champion long puffer if you want a recognizable brand, a straightforward heavyweight wind-resistant coat and an attached hood with no extra features to think about.
