Bernardo Summit Puffer Coat vs Hooded Wide Channel Quilted Puffer Coat

Buy the Summit Puffer if you want a lighter, semi-fitted coat with recycled synthetic fill that goes in the washer and dryer. Buy the Hooded Wide Channel Quilted Coat if you want real down-feather warmth, a straighter cut that layers over sweaters, and a wider size and color range. The Summit has the cleaner tailored look; the channel-quilted coat has the warmer fill and more room. Owners of down coats like B report strong warmth for the weight but note the feathers can clump and need low-heat drying with dryer balls; synthetic fills like Ecoplume hold up better to frequent washing but pack out sooner.

• Choose the Summit Puffer Coat if you want a semi-fitted knee-length coat with a drawstring hood and recycled synthetic insulation you can machine wash and tumble dry.
• Choose the Hooded Wide Channel Quilted Coat if you want genuine down-and-feather warmth, a relaxed straight fit for layering, and a choice of five colors in sizes up to 3XL.
