Patagonia's Puffy Winter Coat is Warm, Lightweight and Compressible
Ellen Smith — September 6, 2017 — Fashion
When considering a puffy winter coat, consumers are left to choose between the warmth of proper insulation, water resistant features that protect against heavy snowfalls and the convenience of compression -- a coat which can be neatly tucked away when not in use. Patagonia has recently addressed this issue, by utilizing a new microfiber called PlumaFill that can entertain all three requirements.
Being described as the ultimate winter coat, the Micro Puff Hoody is water-resistant and well-insulated, all while being able to fold to an unobtrusive size when not being worn. In addition to appearing as the perfect puffy winter jacket, this coat also comes in three colors, making this utility-focused jacket a stylish selection as well.
