Women's Puffer Jackets
A women's puffer jacket is the coat for the school run, dog walks and the side of a muddy pitch. These puffer jackets come from Respect, the adult line that runs alongside MINOTI childrenswear. A puffer is padded through the body, so it traps warmth without the weight of a wool coat. Where a style has a waterproof outer, the product page says so.
Length is the main choice. A hip-length puffer is easy to drive in, while a longer women's coat in a puffer style covers more of you on a cold platform. A black women's puffer coat is the easiest colour to live with: it hides splashes and goes over jeans or work trousers. Choose your usual size for a thin jumper underneath, or go up for a chunky knit.
Your questions answered
Respect, the adult line from MINOTI, offers women's puffer jackets and padded coats for adults, with a waterproof outer on some styles, alongside the brand's childrenswear for ages 0 to 15.
Is a waterproof puffer jacket for women warm enough at 0°C?
With a jumper underneath, most padded jackets are comfortable from about 0°C to 5°C on a still day. Add a scarf in wind, and check the product page to see whether a style is a women's waterproof padded jacket before heavy rain.
Should I size up in a padded jacket to wear a thick jumper underneath?
Size up only for a chunky knit. Padding already takes up room, so with a T-shirt or thin jumper your usual size fits best. For days below 5°C in a thick jumper, go one size up and check the sleeve length on the product page.
