The coat is soft, comfortable, and warm enough for around here where it doesn't often go below zero.

However, it has a storied and thoroughly practical history: Eddie Bauer invented the first puffer jacket in 1936.

Eddie Bauer is credited with “creating” the puffer in the 1930s, the result of an outdoorsy dilemma featuring a waterlogged wool coat, dropping temperatures, and impeding hypothermia. But those are the boring facts of the puffer. We're here to talk about its history in the world of fashion.

Puffers have been around since the 1930s, introduced to the market after Eddie Bauer nearly died of exposure when his wool sweater froze from rain on a fishing trip. Not anxious to knock on death's door a second time around, Bauer came up with a waist-length quilted puffer coat with a knitted collar.

Puffer jackets, also called quilted jackets, have a signature quilted design with sections that are "puffy" between the stitching. They are filled with down insulation or synthetic fibers, both of which can provide a high level of warmth depending on how well they are made and the quality of the synthetic fibers.

However, in wet conditions, it's essential to have a proper rain jacket to protect you. Feather down loses its ability to insulate when it gets wet (and once wet it can be slow to dry). If you think your puffer jacket will get wet often, then perhaps opt for a synthetic down jacket instead.
