Outdoor Ventures Women’s Packable Lightweight Full-Zip Puffer Jacket with Hood Quilted Winter Coat

Great winter coat!
I love this coat! Very thin and lightweight, but still warm. Not appropriate for artic temperatures, but probably the only coat I’ll need here in Maryland. It seems great protecting against the wind but I haven’t used it in rain yet. The side pockets are huge and easily hold mittens and a hat. And the inside pocket is great, too. The size chart didn’t make a lot of sense, so I gambled and went with medium. I am a female, 5′ 3″ and 125 lb athletic build. I probably could have gotten away with the small, but I don’t like things to fit tightly and I also wanted it to fit over layers. It easily fits over a bulky sweatshirt. Overall, this has been a great purchase.

Great for travel…Comfortable, lightweight, and warm!
Jacket is lightweight, but warm and made well. It is soft and comfortable. It is a bit larger than I expected but just means more room for layering. If you want a more fitted jacket don’t size up. It comes in a bag which is great, but I am giving 4 stars because the bag allows the jacket to puff out to ~6”x10” when packed. I will be making some adjustments to mine for packing purposes.

Perfect puffer
I love this jacket! It packs beautifully! I used the sinch sack once and the pocket method. I actually prefer the pocket as it makes it smaller and more compact. I did, however, also pack a puffer vest and gloves in the sack. It was very roomy. The jacket is lightweight but warm. I first ordered a large thinking it would allow for layers. It was way too big, so I returned it for a medium. Perfect!

Cute, but did not hold up in Japan Showers
This jacket seemed really promising at first. It is fairly warm and can handle light rain, but it will not hold up to heavy showers, hiking, or long distance walking.I took this jacket with me on my 28 day trip to Japan. It rained pretty much every day and this was the only protection I brought for the elements. This was a mistake.Pockets) I enjoyed the amount and sheer size of the pockets of this jacket. I especially used the little hidden breast pocket as a makeshift coin purse. This, however, did cause the pocket to get that silver grey metal sheen which I do not know how to get out. We were walking down the street and I had my hands and my phone in the pockets because it was raining and it was cold, but suddenly my hands were wet. The pockets were filled with water. My phone was sitting in pocket water for I don’t know how long and it started to act funny after my trip.You can actually stuff the jacket into one of the pockets, ONLY 1 pocket that has text when you turn it inside out (you cannot stuff it into the other pocket) AND it comes with a bag so I don’t know if the people complaining about the separate bag figured out you can still stuff it into the pocket, but what can you do.Hood) the hood fits around your head so you properly look like a thumb thumb from Spy Kids, but the adjustable elastic shrinks the hood OVER your eyes. There’s really no getting around it, if you want to tighten your hood, you can only go so far before you can’t see.The top of the hood extends out ever so slightly so you have a little hat effect from the rain, but when you tighten the hood, I found that water ran down the edges of the hood making my face wet anyway.The collar of the jacket also has a bit of a gap that I think gets a little more pronounced when you tighten the hood so my neck also got wet.If you don’t tighten the hood, I found that rain accumulated on the inside of the sides of the hood which still caused my face to get wet🫠Overall, I will not be using this jacket again for Japan and I do not recommend for anything other than perhaps light day to day use in light respectable rain.

I received this very high quality jacket yesterday and took wore it today to test it out. It was cooler and a light rain was falling here in western Canada and it was exactly what I needed. As others mentioned, it is very light weight and ideal as an in between jacket in spring and fall. I am leaving for a trip to our neighbouring province where the weather promises cooler temperatures, so it will be ideal. The hood is terrific and can be easily secured with a drawstring, the collar is high and ideal for cooler or windy weather, and, I love the deep outer pockets and zipped inner pocket for secure items. I find the material very soft, and the jacket so packable and won’t take up a lot of luggage space. When I walked in the rain today, I found it resisted the water very well, unlike my old puffer jacket. I ordered a Large size despite my 5’4” 128 lbs, but perfect size for layering. The sleeves are about 11/2 inches too long for me which I will have shortened eventually. Of course, that is because of my short arm length and not a negative of a large size jacket. I got this jacket on a limited time price reduction, a bonus. I am so happy with this jacket and it is just the ticket now that fall is approaching. You can’t go wrong purchasing this one.

Although I haven’t tried it outside yet, I appreciate that this company packaged this in a nice box vs vacuum sealing it into the smallest imaginable package. This morning I know I can easily wear this beautiful green coat without wrinkles. It seems light weight and has room for amother layer (bulky sweater perhaps?) under it. It is not not a super slimming puffer coat with no extra room – as my last one was. Glad I made the purchase.
