Is this jacket warm enough for winter?

It is a midweight puffer, so it handles fall and mild winter days and layers well under a shell. For freezing or windy conditions, wear it over a sweater or under a heavier coat.

Does it really pack down?

Yes. The compressible quilted shell is designed to fold into a bag or suitcase, which is its main draw over a standard puffer.

No. The shell is weather-resistant and handles light wind and drizzle, but it is not a rain jacket.

What is the hood like?

The hood is attached and insulated, with elastic trim that helps it stay put and block wind.

How does it compare with a down puffer?

It uses synthetic insulation, which is heavier and less warm per ounce than down but keeps working when damp and packs without special care.

What should I know about fit?

It is cut as a low-profile midweight layer, so it fits close over a shirt. Size up if you plan to wear it over bulky sweaters.

Our take on the U.S. Polo Assn. Packable Hooded Channel Puffer Jacket

The U.S. Polo Assn. Packable Hooded Channel Puffer is a midweight quilted jacket with narrow horizontal channel baffling, an attached insulated hood, a full-length front zipper and zippered side hand pockets. It compresses into a bag for travel, and elastic trim on the hood, cuffs and hem seals out drafts. The double horseman embroidery gives it a preppy look. It suits commuters, travelers and cool-weather layering better than a heavy parka, though it is not built for deep winter or steady rain.
