This Viral Down Puffer from Quince Is My New Go-to Winter Jacket

Punxsutawney Phil said it best . . . we’ve got a long winter ahead of Us. It’s only the beginning of February which means we have months (and months) of cold weather to “look forward to”, we tell ourselves. If you find yourself counting down the days until summer, maybe you don’t have the proper setup. Plenty of blankets, fuzzy sweaters and a thick down jacket are essentials!

It’s pretty easy to load up on blankets and sweaters, but it’s hard to find an affordable down jacket that checks all of our boxes. It has to be thick, but not too thick that it’s heavy; it has to be responsibly sourced; it has to be fashionable (obviously) and it has to be durable. Does the perfect down jacket even exist?

Before this jacket was released, we would probably lean toward “no”, but since trying this jacket from Quince, our faith in down jackets have been restored. Made with a recycled polyester shell and lining, this jacket is water-repellent, wind-resistant and warm. The fill is a combination of 700-fill-power goose down and goose feathers, adding warmth and giving it a puffy, wintery look. A Responsible Down Standard (RDS) certification ensures the down and feathers are sourced responsibly.

This jacket has a removable hood with an adjustable drawcord, soft cuffs with thumbholes, fleece-lined hand pockets and an interior chest pocket. It even has a drawcord hem to keep out the wind! And unlike outdoorsy brands like The North Face and Columbia, this jacket is top-notch fashionable. The color is vibrant and rich! Zigzag stitching along the hems give it an expensive look. Plus, a slightly oversized fit makes it versatile enough to wear over anything, including thick sweaters and cardigans.

We’ve been wearing this ultra-toasty jacket everywhere, pairing it with black jeans and a sweater for running errands and leather pants, sparkly jewelry and classy sneakers for dinners out. It’s perfect for simpler activities, too, like walking the dog, shoveling the driveway or meeting friends for coffee.

And while we adore the carbon grey hue, there are 10 different colors to choose from, ranging from neutral beige, taupe and fudge brown to cherry red and shiny black. You’ll be the center of attention no matter which color you choose! This jacket should be much more expensive than it is, but you won’t hear Us complaining.

One reviewer writes: “I want a jacket that I can throw on when it’s 10 below(f) with only a tee shirt on and be comfy going from the car to a store or whatever and this fits the bill. Attractive, well made, true to size, love it!” Hundreds of reviewers agree!
