Gaigiky Women's Winter Cropped Puffer Thickened Fleece Hooded Jacket

What reviewers say

Questions and answers

Is this jacket warm enough for real winter?

It suits mild-to-cold days and layering. The synthetic fill and fleece lining are warm, but the cropped hem and thin shell let wind in, so it is not a deep-winter jacket on its own.

How does it fit?

It runs large and boxy. Many owners suggest sizing down one for a closer fit, or keeping your usual size if you plan to layer thick sweaters underneath.

Is it waterproof?

No. The shell resists light drizzle but is not waterproof and the seams are not sealed. Wear a rain shell over it in steady rain.

Does it have pockets?

It has front pockets, but they are simple slash pockets without zips or insulation, so they are better for hands than for valuables.

How does it compare with a down puffer?

Down packs smaller and warms more per ounce. This jacket is bulkier and heavier for similar warmth, but its synthetic fill copes better with damp and it costs far less than branded down.

Can I machine wash it?

Yes, on a gentle cold cycle, then tumble low or air dry and shake the fill back into shape. Avoid fabric softener, which clumps synthetic fill.
