Women’s Puffer Jackets

Women’s Puffer Jackets at Arc’teryx

A women’s puffer jacket should layer close to the body, pack small and keep working when the weather turns. Ours come with two fills, goose down in the Cerium and Thorium lines and Coreloft in the Atom and Elec jackets, so the choice starts with how damp or dry your cold days are.

How are the Cerium, Thorium and Liatris women’s puffer jackets built?

How the fill is held decides how a puffer jacket feels. The Cerium Hoody pairs 850 fill European white goose down with Coreloft in the areas prone to moisture, plus two zippered hand pockets and an internal security pocket. The Thorium Hoody runs 750 fill grey goose down with Down Contour Construction, which lets the fill form to the body. In the Liatris Down Jacket, stitch-free bonded baffles hold the goose down in place and add durability.

Which lightweight women’s puffer jackets and vests pack small?

In a lightweight puffer jacket, the weight savings come from what is left out. The Atom SL Hoody keeps its stretch fill in the body only, so the sleeves and hood stay slim, and the Elec Insulated Jacket regains its loft however often you stuff it into a bag. The Atom Vest stows into its own chest pocket and clips to a carabiner, while the Cerium Vest and Thorium Vest cover the core in down. Browse every synthetic insulated jacket, or pair one with a women’s hiking jacket.

Which long women’s puffer jackets and parkas suit cold days?

Length adds warmth when you are standing still. The Atom Long is a bum-covering cut with an insulated, adjustable hood that slides under a long Beta shell. For colder days the Liatris Down Parka adds goose down with an insulated hood and collar, and the Patera Parka lengthens the cut with gaskets at the neck and cuffs that seal out drafts. Wear a long puffer jacket as your outer layer on dry days, and add a women’s rain jacket over it when it turns wet.
