This coat from L.L. Bean is one of our very favorites, thanks to its extra-long hem that falls at mid-calf and its removable hood. It comes in five other colors as well as petite, regular and plus-sizes.
This Quince puffer coat is great for those who are looking for a casual style that isn't overly bulky. While this coat is considered lightweight, it features a "comfortable stretch cuff and hem to help seal in warmth."
Encased in a durable water-repellent finish, this down parka from Eddie Bauer lets water bead on its surface as opposed to absorbing it and getting you wet. We also love this style's detachable hood, adjustable cuffs and two-way front zipper.
This Free People style is ideal for those looking to make a statement with color. Available in 20 different shades, this quilted puffer jacket is packable and created with PrimaLoft insulation.
Known by most as the viral "Amazon jacket," the Orolay Thickened Down Jacket is a favorite amongst fashionistas due to its ribbon accents, fluffy hood interior and numerous zippered pockets. Shop it in over 10 colors.
The Wunder Puff from Lululemon is not only exceedingly warm and durable, but it has a cinch-able "interior waist and hem drawcord to customize your fit." This style is also machine-washable.
While on the higher end of price points, this high-quality Rudsak coat is worth every penny. Plus, this coat is "designed to keep you warm and dry down to -30˚C." We can't get enough of its semi-gloss lining, removable hood and neoprene storm cuffs.
Cozy up in this faux-fur-lined hooded parka from Levi's. This coat has a front zipper, snap closures and an adjustable outer drawstring waist cord. It also comes in five more neutral colors.
This puffer from Universal Standard features a two-way zipper and fleece-lined pockets. It's also the most size-inclusive option that we've come across, available in sizes 00 to 40. Just be sure to nab it fast — these styles go quickly.
While this jacket from Old Navy is one of the most affordable options on our list at under $30, we also love it for its funnel collar and wide quilting. You can shop it in three other colors and both petite, tall and standard sizes.
If you're in the market for a more fashionable puffer, we'd recommend this cute one from H&M. It hits right at the waist and has a relaxed fit. You can also pull in the hem's drawstrings for a shorter look.
This long puffer from UNIQLO has a water-repellent coating for light rain and an anti-static lining. Shop this versatile coat in sizes XS-XL.
This Athleta puffer has been deemed the "best silhouette" on the list because of its flattering and adjustable internal bungee at the waist and removable belt detail.
Cute enough to wear on the ski slopes or around town, this jacket from The North Face has a boxy silhouette and stowable hood; plus, it can be packed down to fit into a small interior pocket so you can tuck it away with ease.
If you typically shy away from puffers due to their fluffy nature, this belted style may be right up your alley. This coat from Sam Edelman features a drawcord hood, a removable belt and side zippers.
This hooded jacket by Everlane is another great style for under $210. You'll love the oversized fit and the fact that this style is made of 100% recycled feathers and down.
