Packable warmth with our men’s lightweight puffer jackets

Our lightweight puffer jacket men’s collection has jackets that are designed to be wonderfully easy to pack into your bag. Their light weight makes them incredibly practical and packable, as the puffer coat can be rolled up and stored or transported with ease.

Columbia’s lightweight men’s puffer jacket models are also available in many different colours and styles. Some of the popular shades include subtle colours such as navy, burgundy, khaki and black. Flashier colours such as red, yellow, orange and bright blue are also on trend, especially for sportier jackets.

To tackle unpredictable UK weather in both the city and the backcountry, the puffer jacket collection has options for those who value high-quality, water-resistant clothing. We’re not the only brand with water-resistant products, but many shops have waterproof categories that are difficult to understand. Here at Columbia, you can easily get the idea of our men’s waterproof jacket categories: Drizzle, rain, downpour and deluge. Just pick the level you need, zip up those waterproof zippers and pockets, and stay nice and dry.

Synthetic Insulation or Responsible Down Standard

When it comes to insulation material in Columbia’s lightweight puffer jackets, you have two options: Synthetic insulation made of polyester or lightweight down certified to the Responsible Down Standard (RDS).

We have several lightweight jackets that are RDS-certified. Columbia is committed to making sure that our supply chain is verified for responsible sourcing. That’s why we certify select products to industry standards and require our partners to share our standards. Make sure that your down products have the label or logo “RDS-certified” to be sure that they’ve been manufactured ethically.

Omni-Heat™ insulation technology

Columbia’s thermal-reflective technologies make sure that you stay warm all four seasons—including the winter. You should be able to enjoy your outdoor adventures, whether it’s just brisk or one of the coldest days of the year.

The Omni-Heat™ Reflective technology uses little silver dots which reflect body heat to enhance heat retention. It makes lightweight warmth possible while maintaining high breathability and letting moisture and excess warmth out. As a result, you can stay active outside and still feel dry and comfortable.

Omni-Heat™ 3D is next-dimension warmth with a pattern of silver reflectors. These improve coverage and insulation. It also means improved next-to-skin comfort, as the technology uses small pods of soft fibres, which create a comfortable air gap between your skin and the jacket fabric.

Columbia’s Omni-Heat™ Black Dot involves black dots which capture solar heat and an external thermal shield. This technology leads to maximum outside-in thermal efficiency with just one layer of clothing.

Omni-Heat™ Infinity is Columbia’s highest body-heat reflection technology, utilising tiny gold dots to reflect body heat. It provides instant warmth yet keeps delivering in terms of breathability.

Which lightweight puffer is best suited for you?

To find the perfect puffer jacket for you, don’t buy the first lightweight jacket you see. Consider which needs and preferences you have and carefully browse through the wide array of colours and styles available.

Before you buy a down jacket, think about which fit and colour you prefer and if you want a quilted style or a smoother one. Would you like a long model or a short one? Do you prefer a hooded jacket or one without a hood? Considering the various features of jackets in this way will help guide you to the ideal down coat which you’ll keep using for decades!

You should also consider how warm you need your jacket to be and what you’ll use it for. If you’re looking for something to ski through blizzards in, look at our more warmly insulated men’s ski jackets. If you are looking for an everyday jacket to go over your shirt or hoodie, one of our great men’s walking jackets with thin padding would do. When considering warmth and insulation, you can follow our guide to three different warmth levels here at Columbia:

• Light Warmth: Jackets with synthetic insulation, with more high-end models featuring thermal-reflective technology.
• Warm: Jackets which are often insulated with down and feature thermal-reflective technology.
• Extremely Warm: Jackets with down insulation and advanced construction technology.
