Canada Goose, Arcteryx, Moncler

Pros
  • Ideal for damp climates
  • Inner hood is quilted for added warmth
Cons
  • Limited colors available

If you need something to shield you from the wind and cold on your way to wherever chilly place you’re going, Patagonia has you covered. The brand’s sleek, waterproof parka looks and feels refined, but its bonded construction and insulated liner, made from recycled ocean plastics, ensure you’ll stay warm and dry in winter weather. The cut is a bit longer, hitting just above the thigh for more protection.

Columbia Men’s Landroamer Puffer Insulated Jacket

Men's Landroamer Puffer Insulated Jacket
Pros
  • Hood is removable
  • Deep chest pockets for devices
Cons
  • Only comes in one color

Columbia is a well-known purveyor of top-notch cold-weather gear, and this Landroamer Puffer is proof. The foil-like lining and polyester filling help retain body heat for extra warmth but are still breathable so you don’t overheat. The nylon shell is handy on damp days or if you’re wearing this coat on the slopes.

Best Winter Coat for the City

Canada Goose Langford Parka Black Label

Langford Parka Black Label
Pros
  • Has three interior pockets
  • Piping around the perimeter prevents excessive wear
  • Available in four colors
Cons
  • Pricey

Before Canada Goose became the brand of choice for style-conscious urban dwellers, you could find it on arctic explorers and film crews working in seriously unpleasant conditions. There’s a reason for that: The company’s down-filled coats are both tough and insulating. And even if you’re not venturing into the unknown, the 625-fill power down on this Langford parka is enough to keep you warm all winter. The coat also features an adjustable tunnel hood with interchangeable trimmings (sold separately), ribbed knit cuffs, and fleece-lined pockets for extra warmth.

Best Wind-Proof Parka

L.L. Bean Baxter State Parka

Baxter State Parka
Pros
  • Lightweight
  • Available in regular and tall sizes
Cons
  • Some customers says the faux fur isn’t plush

Based in Maine, L.L.Bean knows a thing or two about harsh winters, making sure that its coats (and its entire stock, for that matter) can stand up to frost-laden mountaintops. The Baxter State Parka keeps with the brand’s high standards of warmth in the coldest of temps. The nylon shell is water-repellent. Inside, there’s a 650-fill water-repellent down, four useful pockets on the outside, and three interior pockets. The faux fur trim on the insulated hood is removable and the coat as a whole can be tossed in the washing machine if you happen to find yourself in a muddy situation.

Best Reversible Winter Coat

Nobis Oliver Reversible Puffer Jacket

Oliver Reversible Puffer Jacket

Breathable, windproof, and water-resistant, this premium three-ply micro-denier exterior and duck-down fill is built to combat the worst kinds of weather. It’s also machine washable, in case you encounter stains and don’t have time to go to the dry cleaner. But if you’re in a pinch, the jacket is also completely reversible, transforming into a classic-looking quilted puffer on the other side.

Ultra Warm Hybrid Down Coat

Uniqlo Ultra Warm Hybrid Down Coat

Ultra Warm Hybrid Down Coat
Pros
  • Helps keep body heat from escaping
  • Water-repellent outer shell
Cons
  • Can only be hand washed

The Japanese mega-retailer has upped the warmth factor on this coat to make it the most winter-ready, with a faux fur hood and inner layer. As with all things Uniqlo, it packs in a lot of minimalist style for a pretty minimal price, too. But the lower price doesn’t mean fewer features. Along with a down fill and padding, the lining is made of an aluminum print that helps retain your body heat as you wear it to keep the cold out sans the sweat that can happen when you overheat. The shell is water-repellent in case you get caught in a rain shower, and it has a looser fit overall if you want to layer up.

Alpha Industries B-3 Sherpa Leather Bomber Jacket

B-3 Sherpa Leather Bomber Jacket

When it comes to bombers, you better believe that Alpha Industries, an OG maker of the style, will always deliver on durability. The sherpa-lined leather is a departure from the many nylon options on this list and even though that means a higher price tag, the features make up for it. Two straps on the collar adjust to keep cold breezes out and buckle straps at the waist make for a more snug fit to keep any cold from creeping in.

Carhartt Duck Insulated Flannel-Lined Jacket

Duck Insulated Flannel-Lined Jacket
Pros
  • Convenient front zip
  • Casual look
Cons
  • Not the warmest option

This one is for all the guys out there who either want a really sick fit pic, a really protective and durable jacket, or both. Carhartt brings its workwear into winter, baby. Much like the brand’s other outwear pieces this one is water-repellent and wind-resistant, and the entire coat, hood included, is lined in quilted flannel for extra warmth.

L.L. Bean Mountain Classic Down Parka

Mountain Classic Down Parka
Pros
  • Great for city and hiking
  • Lightweight and perfect for layering
Cons
  • Buyers report not the best zipper quality

Another great option from L.L. Bean is this classic puffer parka. It’s the kind of coat you buy once and wear forever. The slightly-fitted style falls at the thigh and is roomy enough for a thick sweater or hoodie underneath. The 650-fill down on the inside is lightweight, but extra warm and has been treated so that it doesn’t absorb moisture and clump together if it gets wet.

Best Textured Winter Jacket

Ralph Lauren The Gorham Hybrid Down Jacket

The Gorham Hybrid Down Jacket
Pros
  • Certified to the Responsible Down Standard (RDS)
  • Machine-washable
Cons
  • Not water-repellent

RL’s contribution to your winter style game comes in the form of this cozy coat that combines fleece and nylon on top of a 650-fill-power-down filling. The storm guard-equipped hood zips away from the padded mock neck, and a drawstring hem cinches at the waist for a less breezy fit.

Best Long Puffer Coat

adidas Big Baffle Down Coat

Big Baffle Down Coat
Pros
  • Longer silhouette provides more shielding from the cold
Cons
  • Only comes in one color

When you need extended protection from the elements, this longline Adidas puffer has you covered, literally. The hem hits right above the knee so the recycled polyester shell and feather fill will keep more of you warmer. And speaking of the shell, it’s water-repellent to keep you dry on damp days. The detachable hood connects to the high-collar when you need the bonus coverage.
