With so many colors to choose from, you'll want more than one of these Amazon Essentials puffer coats. (Photo: Amazon)
Both my mom and my grandmother are near-impossible to shop for, but they do agree on one thing: Any time they buy any clothing, it has to be no-fuss, easy to clean and most importantly, comfortable. With that in mind, last year, I gifted my mom a coat that my grandma ended up loving so much that she asked for one herself — and now, they both can't stop wearing it. The joke's on me, though: When I got it, I (happily) paid full price. Lucky for you, though, now it's 30% off.
The Amazon Essentials Lightweight Puffer Coat is perfect for those tricky times of the year when it's too hot for a traditional, heavy puffer coat, yet not quite warm enough for a wool jacket. It's light and airy — so much so that you can pack it up into the included pouch for easy stowing. It hits just under your hips, so it'll cover your bum, plus it has strategically placed stitching that creates a long and lean silhouette.
My mother, who normally sticks with her tried-and-true North Face coat, wore her Amazon Essentials puffer nearly every day in late fall to early winter and even into the strangely warm days we've had over the past month. The rest of the time, she keeps it in her car in case she was coming home late from work and wanted a warmer layer than what she already had on. Meanwhile, my grandmother — who would never wear something she doesn't think is the epitome of comfort — wears hers every chance she gets. They even both have them in matching cheetah print!
It's excellent for travel, too — it can fit into a pouch smaller than the size of your laptop so you can easily stow it in a carry-on. Plus, it's practically weightless.
They're not the only ones raving about this adorable puffer — over 10,300 verified Amazon shoppers are head-over-heels, too.
"This coat is the perfect travel coat," shares one jet setter. "Extremely lightweight and still provided me enough warmth to stand outside for a phone call in 40-degree weather. I live in the South and hate carrying heavy coats while inside shopping. I carried this one for 30 minutes at a mall and barely noticed I was carrying it. It is my new favorite thing."
Another frequent flyer added: "I am a flight attendant and this jacket is great for compacting into a small bag for luggage! Also super warm! It’s very thin and doesn’t look like it would be warm but it definitely is!"
Another added: "I love, love, love this coat...fits like it was made just for me. This coat is super stylish and — it was hard to choose. I have spent way more money on 'high-end' coats that really cannot hold a candle to this coat."
