Is this jacket warm enough for real winter?

It is a lightweight puffer with quilted insulation, so it handles cold, dry days and layering well. For hard freezes or long time outdoors, it works better as a mid-layer under a heavier coat.

Does it run true to size?

The fit is described as regular with a slightly fitted silhouette. If you plan to wear bulky sweaters underneath, consider sizing up.

Is the hood removable?

The hood is trimmed with faux fur and is part of the jacket's design. The description does not present it as a detachable hood.

The shell is durable polyester with a smooth, slightly shiny finish and quilted insulation sections.

How does it compare with a down puffer?

It is lighter and more fitted than a typical down puffer, with a fashion-forward Diesel look. Down jackets generally offer more warmth for the same bulk.
