Teenage Boys' Puffer Jackets
A teenage boy puffer jacket is a padded coat for the cold months, from late autumn to early spring. The sizes here are for boys aged 8 to 15, and the jackets cover the walk to school, the wait at the bus stop and Saturday mornings on the touchline. The padding holds warmth without the weight of a wool coat, so it suits boys who are always on the move. For coats in other styles, see Jackets & Coats.
Choose by height. For a boys' puffer jacket at age 9, 140 cm is the usual size, and at age 10 it is usually 146 cm. If he is between sizes, go up one so there is room for a school jumper or hoodie underneath. A puffer works best over layers, so on colder days a vest and jumper underneath add more warmth than a bigger coat. Check the care label before washing, and let a padded jacket dry right through before he wears it.
Your questions answered
MINOTI sells padded puffer jackets for boys aged 8 to 15 in height-based centimetre sizes, and a boys' puffer jacket for age 12 is usually 158 cm on the MINOTI size chart.
What size boys' puffer jacket should I buy for age 11?
An 11-year-old usually takes 152 cm. Measure his height in socks and pick the nearest size. If he is close to the next size up, choose that one so the jacket still fits over a jumper next winter.
Should a puffer jacket fit snug or loose on a 13-year-old boy?
Aim for room to move with a jumper on, not a baggy fit. A 13-year-old usually takes 164 cm. If he is near the top of that size, 170 cm leaves space for a growth spurt without the jacket swamping him.
