Puffer jackets are warm. Filled with too much insulation, though, and they become more "puff" than "jacket". The Davos from Collars & Co. uses a clever build to maintain a sleek look.

Lightweight poly-fill insulation provides plenty of warmth; tactical stitching and smartly placed pockets complete the package.
