Made using recycled polyester (from 60 renewed plastic water bottles) and extra warm recycled PrimaLoft insulation, Everlane’s ReNew Puffer is a top-rated choice for winter. The long puffer is slightly oversized and hits just above the knee for a roomy fit that’s ideal for layering over even your bulkiest of winter sweaters. In addition, the design features a drawstring hood and drawstring waist for a more flattering, cinched look. For traditional goose-down fills, many brands will indicate the insulation power level of the coat, like 650-fill power. The higher the number, the more warmth power the fill has. For a down alternative, look to synthetics, polyester, or eco-friendly recycled plastic materials. Some of these are nearly as warm as goose down, depending on the blend. Brands usually list the warmth level of insulation in the product description — lightweight vs. heavy-duty or extra warmth. Shai Peyser is the President of The Very Warm, a New York-based outwear brand that is accessible and functional and made from recycled materials. With designs ranging from reversible bombers to quilted parkas, The Very Warm has everything you need for your cold-weather adventures. For travel: If you’re traveling to a cold destination, wear your puffer coat on the plane to leave room in your luggage for other essentials. Plus, if your puffer coat has a long silhouette, it can double as a blanket or a pillow for the car or plane ride. To ensure you stay comfortable during your travels, team your puffer coat with leggings, a T-shirt, and a sweater. You can also lean on joggers and a hoodie for maximum relaxation. Finally, accessorize with a chic overnight bag or a carry-all tote bag. Cold Weather Features: water-resistant material; reflective shell; front zip closure + snap button cuffs

What reviewers say:“Love this coat. Super cozy! I like that it has drawstrings so you can make it a fitted puffer coat, or loose for layering. It fits more on the large side, I am normally a 0 or 2 but went with the 0 and it fits perfect. I’m ready for cold weather!”
