Women's down jackets: light and fashionable warmth

A womens puffer jacket is the go-to solution for packable and light warmth! Down jackets create warmth by capturing air in pockets filled with down. The presence of down captures the air and keeps it there. This padding of air is warmed by your body and creates a powerful warm sensation around you.

This insulation offers ultra-light protection against the cold: It's probably the best warmth-to-weight ratio you can find. After all, you shouldn’t just be able to stand the cold, you should be able to stay active and enjoy exploring nature all day long!

The puffer jackets are also available in a wide range of colour shades, such as peach, lilac, black, coral, olive green and fuchsia. They also come in many different shapes, cuts and lengths, allowing you to find a design that will fit your personal style. Opt for a quilted puffer jacket or one with a smoother surface. Do you want a full-on hooded puffer coat, or are you more interested in one of our vests or gilets? Are faux fur hoods your thing? Or do you prefer jackets with a collar instead of a hood? Pick and choose from the various features to find the ideal puffer coat for you.

Stay warm at all times with our women’s down jackets

Whether you're up for a walk in the city, an outdoor stroll or a mountain hike, our women's down jackets will be your ally. During winter, these jackets are perfect for any activity. Browse through our collection and find two areas of use for our women's down jackets:

• City / outdoor walks down jackets: These down jackets often have an urban look with sober colours and a close fit. They're made to provide strong technical features while ensuring a discreet and classy look for the wearer! They have the look of a parka with a long cut and they often provide multiple large pockets. This allows you to keep your essentials near you throughout the day. They are often thicker and offer great insulation to keep you from being cold in the city. Perfect to throw over your denim jeans and blazer when the temperatures dip. Or you can let it complete your cosy and relaxed date outfit over a knitted jumper or wool cardigan. Stylish and warm, these puffers will keep you looking and feeling good no matter the occasion.
• Mountain / sport down jackets: Sport down jackets for women are designed to keep you warm during a hike or an adventure in the outdoors. They are often made out of down (instead of synthetic insulation), as this type of insulation makes for packable and light jackets. When the sun comes back, easily store your down jacket in your backpack and carry on. They’re a perfect option when you’re leaving the city and heading to the country for some hiking or mountain climbing. Just pack your lightweight puffer and your items into your sport bags and you’re ready to go!

Fit for all situations, Columbia women's down jackets are labelled in three different warmth levels, so you can pick the one that's perfect for you!

• Light Warmth: A warm jacket in synthetic insulation. It's right for all classic situations and easily packable in your bag when the sun comes back. The most high-end light warmth jackets will feature thermal reflective technology.
• Warm: These women’s jackets will bring serious heat to the game. They often feature down: The ultimate warmth standard. Add thermal reflective technology in the mix and you have your ideal jacket!
• Extremely Warm: Simply the warmest jacket in town. These jackets will feature down added to advanced construction technologies such as Heat Seal Construction.

Columbia Omni-Heat™ insulation technology

How do the jackets in our womens puffer collection keep you warm no matter the weather? That would be thanks to Columbia’s advanced thermal-reflective technology.

Among our insulation technologies, you’ll find Omni-Heat™ Reflective, Omni-Heat™ 3D, Omni-Heat™ Black Dot and Omni-Heat™ Infinity. These technologies utilise tiny silver dots, silver reflectors, black dots and gold dots to reflect body heat. This allows you to head out into that icy weather and enjoy your outdoor adventures for as long as you want!

But warmth isn’t everything. Many branded jackets can deliver when it comes to heat. However, Omni-Heat™ puffer jackets also offer comfort and high breathability, so that moisture and excess heat can escape the breathable material. What’s more, our jackets have fantastic next-to-skin comfort, as the fabric is equipped with small pods of soft fibres. This creates a pleasant air gap between your body and the fabric. We’re willing to go to great lengths to allow you to keep moving and exploring nature even on the coldest winter days!

Synthetic insulation or RDS-certified down insulation

But what are our warm padded puffer jackets actually insulated with? The two insulation options you’ll find for our clothing are synthetic polyester insulation or down certified to the Responsible Down Standard (RDS). It’s essential for us to make sure that the down used in our products is responsibly sourced, which is why all the down in our puffer jacket collection is RDS-certified.

We believe all manufacturers of feather and down products—branded or otherwise—should care about animal welfare and ethical manufacturing. Our supply chain is verified for responsible sourcing and traced from the source of all raw materials to the finished jacket. And, of course, we expect our manufacturing partners to share our values.

How to choose your women’s down jackets?

Women's down jackets can be insulated with synthetic insulation or down. There are two classical options for puffer jackets and each provides a set of advantages:

• A synthetic insulation jacket will offer a cheaper and more resistant insulation. Typically used in a city parka, coats or in entry level mountain jackets, the synthetic insulated jacket does not fear the water. It's often treated so the rain does not affect its thermal capacity. But synthetic insulated jackets also have a lesser weight-to-warm ratio: They're usually less compressible, and more importantly, they deliver less warmth to your body.
• A down insulation jacket is the ultimate warmth standard. A down jacket keeps your body warm efficiently and protects you from the cold all day long. It's also light and packable, meaning that when the sun comes back, you can easily put your down jacket in your backpack!

We have designed 3 different levels of waterproofness to keep you sheltered from the rain:

• No protection: These jackets offer no protection against rain. They are solely a thermal layer. These types of women's down jackets are often extremely light and packable.
• Drizzle: This type of hooded jacket has a light water protection called a water-repellent treatment. This means that the jacket has no waterproof membrane but a surface treatment that helps the water slide on it without penetrating the insulation.
• Rain: An Omni‑Tech™ waterproof / breathable membrane is here to protect you from the rain. This waterproof membrane is an excellent solution to stay dry in the long run.
• Downpour: It's an upgraded Omni‑Tech™ windproof and waterproof / breathable membrane with seams fully sealed.

Don’t buy the first jacket that catches your eye, whether it’s a gift for someone else or a treat for yourself. Find the perfect padded puffer jacket for you by browsing through the models and using the filters here in the shop. The filters can help you narrow down your options if you specify your preferences. Decide what activity you’re looking to use your jacket for, what colour goes along with your look, and what level of warmth and waterproofness you need.

Maybe you’ll buy a casual quilted hooded puffer, an exclusive mountain climbing jacket or one of our practical gilets with pockets for all your items. Either way, say hello to your new favourite puffer—the perfect companion for all your outdoor adventures!
