The style index: 10 of the best puffer jackets

At this time of year we’re guaranteed a flurry of cold snaps, every wardrobe needs a reliable quilted jacket that we can pull out year-on-year to brave the elements in. With a down jacket look for one with a fill-power rating (the measure of loft and quality of the down) of at least 550. Canada Goose’s Bayview jacket clocks up a fill rating of 625 and promises to protect in temperatures down to -15C; Uniqlo’s seamless style boasts a rating of 750 at a pocket-friendly price, and 66North clocks up a toasty and lightweight 800.
