Is the White Out II warm enough for freezing weather?

It handles typical winter cold, especially with a sweater underneath. In deep cold or long periods outside, a heavier down jacket will be warmer.

No. The shell is water-resistant and copes with light rain and snow, but sustained rain will eventually soak through.

Does it pack down for travel?

Yes. The synthetic insulation compresses well, so it stuffs into a bag or suitcase without much bulk.

How does it compare with a down puffer?

Down is warmer for its weight and packs smaller. This jacket keeps more warmth when damp and costs less, which suits wet climates.

Can I layer a hoodie or sweater under it?

Yes. The roomy cut leaves space for a mid-layer, which is also why some buyers size down.

The jacket itself. No stuff sack or extra accessories are included.

Our take on the Columbia White Out II XM0476-010 Puffer Jacket

The Columbia White Out II is a men's insulated puffer jacket built for cold, wet winter days. It pairs a water-resistant shell with synthetic insulation that keeps trapping warmth when it gets damp, and it packs down small enough to stuff into a bag. It suits commuters and casual winter wearers who want warmth without a bulky parka. Against down puffers it trades a little loft and packability for better performance in rain and slush, and against heavier shells it is lighter and easier to layer.
