Amazon Essentials Heavyweight Hooded Puffer Coat

Last month, my winter coat was stolen (as well as several other things), and that same evening it started to snow and got really cold. Police and local agencies did nothing and offered no help, even when the temperature went to -40 and lower. Local stores here sell out of any plus size winter coats before winter really starts (and don’t get re-stocked), so I decided to take a chance on a coat from Amazon. I’m so glad I took a chance!
My experience over many years is that winter coats are sized at least three sizes too small, and the arms are usually even smaller, so imagine my shock to find this 6x (biggest available) is huge on me! It’s really a 6x. Not a 3x or 2x labelled 6x.
I’ve already recommended this coat to a relative, who’s a large but ordered xl because she wants to be able to wear bulkier clothing under her coat even though I’ve told her she won’t need extra layers. This coat is really warm, even in -45 weather, biting wind blowing while I’m wearing a t-shirt underneath.
I like the big hood, the relaxed fit sleeves (the sleeves pull down and cover part of your hands), the pockets are So soft inside and zip shut, the zippers work well, this coat washed well at a laundrymat (I’m staying at a hotel at the moment) in a front loader, and dried on low heat in about 20 minutes. It still had a few damp patches around stitching, but I hung it up to dry overnight and it was totally dry the next morning.
This coat is so warm, I actually start to sweat a bit at times, and I’m not doing anything particularly strenuous (not shovelling snow or running).
This coat makes me feel like I’m wrapped in a hug, and the first time I put it on and zipped it up, I burst into tears. It feels that light and soft and good. It’s much better than the coat that was stolen, and I’m so grateful Amazon delivered my new coat right to my hotel room. (I’d been stuck inside for over two weeks at that point because it was way too cold to go out). I’d never thought about getting a winter coat from Amazon, but I’m so glad I did, and I’ve been telling everyone about my lovely new puffy coat from Amazon 🙂

This is a warm, winter weight, puffer jacket with attached hood. I love it!
I thought it was supposed to be a warm pumpkin orange jacket but it arrived in a tan color. No worries it’s a neutral tan color. Wore this up north in 28° with a blustery 30 mph wind near the lake and it blocked the wind and lake spray. Really appreciated the attached hood as well. The only thing I wished for was deeper and slightly larger pockets for both the inside pockets, as well as on the sides of this jacket would be much better if they were slightly larger.
I intentionally ordered a size up to wear layers underneath, but it was unnecessary. Very warm jacket that fits true to size. And it is sewn well with straight and tight seams. Really nice zipper and placket with snaps. Just as nice as the overpriced so called ‘name brands’.
This jacket is beautiful and warm!
Plus, it was affordable on a Amazon special discounted price! I am so glad that I bought this jacket! You won’t regret it, especially if Amazon drops the price again! I highly recommend this winter weight, warm puffer jacket!
Thanks Amazon Essentials!

With my large size and even larger bust, I have a hard time finding quality coats that fit well. I’ve always wanted a puffer coat in a more lively color than the black, navy, and maroon that I’m usually stuck with. When I saw this coat at $22, I figured it couldn’t hurt to try it. I’m sooo glad I did because the coat is so pretty, flattering and well-made. I was a bit worried that I would look like a giant marshmallow in a light color but the sage green is so gorge. I got the size Amazon recommended, which was a size up from my normal size and it fits perfectly with room for heavier layers. The fabric is soft, the zipper is quality, the length is neither too long nor short. This will be plenty warm for Boston winters. I’m excited that I got this for a steal, but I would definitely pay full price for this coat.

Worth every penny. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Zipper on my Colombia jacket of 10 yrs. Finally died. This was way cheaper. It performs the same! Super warm & soft! Fleece lining is a huge plus. Hood is not removable which is fine. Had a storm in Maine and cleaned and shoveled for 45 minutes in 17-23 degrees with flurries and I was not even a bit chilly. The coat isn’t light and has some weight to it. If you’re in Alaska I don’t know if this works. It certainly does in Maine. Going to buy more colors and constantly look for price drops. I found the short version by Amazon for 15.00!!! Overstock price and I don’t care if it’s orange terracotta. Can walk outside with it for passing car visibility.

I’m a regular 3X but ordered up to a 4X to fit over winter clothing. I wore a thick hoodie this am and the jacket fit perfectly. Loose not tight at all.

Pockets are phenomenal. There is a pocket inside on the left w. Velcro closure. My iPhone fits whole. The outside pockets have a zipper closure which rocks. Pocket size is just right not shallow at all.

The arms are a bit longer on me but I don’t care. I am 5’3. They have hand warming sleeves! You can just not wear them if not desired.

Summary: I ordered this jacket to wear on an cold weather cruise. I wanted a packable jacket that would be warm but not take up too much room in my luggage.

What I really like: The fit is exactly as I hoped. The sleeves length is right, which is something I always struggle with. It feels very warm. The color is a soft green with grey overtones so it is subtle. The inside pocket is shallow but also sort of hidden. The zipper and snaps seem sturdy.

What I am so-so about: I wish the hood was detachable, or at least would fold into the collar. I wish the pockets were a little deeper. It does not compress in the luggage as much as I had hoped.

Overall, I think this was a very good value, I got it for a great sale price. I will likely purchase another if/when the sale comes again.

Muy linda y de buena calidad
