14 Sustainable Puffer Jackets

I’m not sure about where you are, but we’ve had more extreme weather than normal this winter here in the PNW (hi, ice storm!). And so marks the longest coat-wearing streak of my life (and still going). Given my need to stay warm and to stay dry, I’m narrowing my search to the puffer. They’re pretty much all an investment, but we’re no stranger to expensive outdoor apparel in Seattle. If I am to spend the $$$, though, I want it to be high quality and sustainably made. I’ll probably never decide on one, but here’s the best ones I’ve come across so far.

14 sustainable puffer jackets for the cold and rain

Girlfriend Collective’s Crystal Packable Puffer is made from recycled plastic bottles. (xxs-6xl)

Bernardo Blush Belted Puffer Jacket is made of recycled polyester. I have a recycled rain jacket from this brand and am really happy with the quality and more affordable price point than many other sustainable coats (wait for a Nordstrom sale or try the Rack!). (xs-xxl)

I also love this Lite Quilted Coat from them! So many pretty colors and on sale. (xs-xxl)

Floral Explosion Bomber Jacket by State of Georgia is made from regenerated nylon derived from ocean waste. (xs-xxl)

Backcountry Raglan ALLIED Down Parka is made with 100% recycled polyester and Allied Feather Certified Down. Also in black! (xs-xl)

PE Nation’s Represent Jacket is a convertible crop puffer jacket made with 100% recycled nylon. Looks amazing as a vest too! (xxs-xxxl)

Their Direction Jacket is also recycled, this time with polyester, and is reversible! (xxs-xxl)

Frank and Oak The Lykke Puffer Coat in Purple (on major sale!) (xs-xl)

Quince Responsible Down Puffer Jacket comes in stone, blue, red, and black. This may not be the most sustainable puffer jacket on the list (a mix of different materials, some recycled; check product listing) but it is on the more affordable end as far as susty jackets go! (xs-xxl)

Cuyana’s stunning Balloon Sleeve Light Puffer is made with 100% recycled polyester. (xs-xl)

Pow Recycled Insulated Jacket from Passenger is 100% recycled right down to the insulation. (xs-xxl)

Patagonia Women’s Downdrift Jacket is fair trade and even features recycled down. (xs-xxl)

Patagonia also has a parka version for all the sustainable snow bunnies out there. BTW, we all know Patagonia is known for expensive outdoor gear. They are a sustainable company that makes products to last (they even share repair DIY videos to help you keep your clothing out of landfills as long as possible), and the price point really reflects that. Don’t forget to peruse their Worn Wear pre-owned site before buying new, which features secondhand Patagonia gear, in case there’s something for you there. (xxs-xxl)

All of Norden’s garments, like the Sky Blue Puffer Jacket, are made with recycled and repurposed materials. (xs-xxl)

I’d love to hear where you shop for sustainable puffer jackets. Let me know and I’ll add to this list! Hopefully we can edit our article soon to add more size-inclusive companies. So few of the ones I found went above a xxl.
