What is a Winter Down Jacket?

A winter down jacket is a garment that can help you withstand the cold, wind, and snow or rain. It should contain thick insulation so your body stays warm even when not in motion. It should also protect from wind and precipitation. A good winter jacket needs to keep you and its insulation dry and should have a waterproof/breathable outer shell.

There are many different types of winter jackets on the market, from stylish insulated trenches to technical puffy jackets meant for outdoor adventure. We'll break down the different types below and give you some key points to contemplate.

Those thinner and less protective pieces are often part of an integrated system of layers, to give the user ultimate discretion in warmth and perspiration management during winter activities. The jackets featured in this review are intended to be used as an all-in-one overcoat, with few or no warm layers needed underneath.
