10 Best Puffer Jackets for Men UK 2023 | The North Face, Ellesse and More

When it comes to the puffer jacket, few companies are as synonymous with the design as The North Face, and, their Stretch Down Hooded Jacket is a jewel in their crown. The design incorporates a trusty 700 down fill, with a 70:30 split, guaranteeing you a toastiness no matter the weather. 

Add to that the fitted hood, adjustable hem, elasticated cuffs and the robust ripstop fabric, and you've one hell of a functional jacket. The thing is, you'd be just as likely to bump into someone wearing this in the Northern Quater in Manchester as you are at the top of Ben Nevis, so it really is a versatile piece of kit. 

Berghaus has been designing outerwear for inclement weather for a long time, so it's no surprise they've taken one of the top positions in our ranking. We chose the Tephra Stretch Down Jacket due to its inclusion of Nikwax - a fibre that protects the down layers, ensuring it's always effective, even when wet. 

If the all-black colour is a little boring for your standards, you'll be glad to know that the company offer a few different options. From neutrals to blues and greys to more out-there reds and greens, we're sure you'll find something to suit your style. 

While many folks might not instantly recognise Weekday, they're owned by the same company as H&M. With that in mind, you can get a gist of what to expect - clothes inspired by the modern youth culture that are minimalist, stylish and affordable. 

This jacket comes with all the classic telltale signs of a trusty puffer, from the high collar, which zips up, to the elasticated cuffs and zip pockets. It's manufactured to withstand the cold, and we're 100% sure it will do just that. Only this time, on a tighter budget. 

Patagonia is in vogue right now and has been worn by Drake, Ryan Reynolds and even Prince Harry. While what they're sporting may be slightly different, you can easily see why they like this company when you set your eyes on the Nano Puff Jacket. It's simple, sophisticated and damn good at its job.

Not only will this jacket keep you warm, dry and looking fly, but the company is also one of the most ethical in the world. Therefore, you can expect recycled materials as well as a certified fair trade piece of kit. It not only keeps you protected, but the workers who made it too. 

If you're looking for that extra bit of warmth, then purchasing a longer jacket can definitely help you achieve that. The Deptford Jacket from The North Face is a perfect example, but it isn't just the length that keeps you warm. With 550 fill down and a decent 70:30 ratio, you'll be snug as a bug in a rug. 

Moreover, the outer polyester material has been coated in DWR (durable water repellent), giving the jacket a little more resistance against inclement weather. Plus, this will save the down inside as well. 

Tommy Hilfiger is unlike many other fashion companies on the planet. Their colour scheme is so iconic that many people will have a noticed this jacket was by them even before they read this. For those who are known for being a lover of brands, this is sure to appeal. 

This puffer has a lot going for it, such as the fixed hood, iconic padded shape, funnel neck and elasticated cuffs. Not only that, but it's also made from 100% recycled materials, making it as good for mother nature as it is for you. 

While this puffer from Carhartt WIP might employ synthetic material for the insulation, that's the only 'cheap' thing about this jacket. It features a taffeta lining, which is a highly luxurious fabric known for being super smooth and comfortable. It's well-known for being a favourite of many high-end designers like Chanel and Dior.

We also like the inclusion of adjustable fixtures on both the hood and the sleeves. This feature guarantees a more flexible fit to make it feel like it was tailored just for you. It's worth mentioning that many buyers find that this runs large and is naturally quite boxy, so you might want to go a little smaller than you normally would if you'd prefer a snug fit. 

Ellesse (along with many other 90s sports brands) have made a massive return to the fashion world over the last few years, and the Lombardy Jacket is one of their most popular garments. It features an iconic look with both brand logos stitched onto either breast.

Furthermore, the design incorporates a fixed hood for when the weather turns and a high collar to offer you a little more protection. It might not be the warmest option on the list, but for this price, it's hard to complain!

There are multiple features we love about this puffer from AllSaints. Firstly, the large funnel neck will provide additional protection from the cold and wind and will quickly make your scarf collection obsolete. Furthermore, the design utilises large side-welt zip pockets, so there's plenty of storage. 

However, the standout is that the jacket is reversible, giving you essentially two jackets in one. So, while it might seem a little expensive, you'll have more options when pairing this with the other items in your wardrobe. 

Getting the ranking underway is the Windcheater Jacket from GANT. This garment can stand up to both rain and wind due to its innovative Tech Prep - the brands own technology. It's also water-repellent and comes with taped seams for additional protection. 

Not only that, but the design also includes a lining on the inside. It might not be a puffer to take to the arctic, but it'll surely do a decent enough job through Autumn and work well as a mid-layer in the depths of winter.
