Is the Gap Relaxed Puffer Jacket warm enough for winter?

It is a light insulated layer, best for cool fall and spring days. For freezing temperatures you would need a heavier jacket or a thick midlayer underneath.

How does the relaxed fit compare to Gap's other puffers?

It is cut noticeably looser than Gap's classic and packable puffers, with more room through the body and sleeves. Size down if you want a closer fit.

No. The shell resists a light drizzle but is not waterproof, so it is not a rain jacket.

What can I layer under it?

A hoodie, chunky knit or flannel fits comfortably thanks to the oversized cut. A thin tee works too but leaves more empty space.

No, it has a stand collar instead. That keeps the neck covered without a hood bunching under a scarf or coat.

Is it machine washable?

Yes, it can be machine washed cold and tumble dried low. Adding dryer balls helps keep the insulation from clumping.

Our take on the Gap Relaxed Puffer Jacket

The Gap Relaxed Puffer Jacket is a lightly insulated, oversized puffer with a matte shell, a stand collar and a zip front. Its loose cut leaves room for a hoodie or sweater underneath, which is the main reason people pick it. It sits between budget fast-fashion puffers and technical insulated jackets: warmer than a quilted liner, not as weatherproof as a coated down jacket. Reviewers treat it as a casual city layer for cool days rather than a jacket for real cold or wet weather.

What reviewers say

Owners describe it as an easy, lightweight layer that fits well over bulky tops and looks more expensive than it is. Most complaints center on warmth and sizing: it runs big, and it is not a jacket for deep winter.
