Womens Shiny Puffer Jacket
This women's shiny puffer jacket pairs a genuinely eye-catching high-shine finish with real cold-weather substance — at 1500g finished weight, it's built for serious winter wear, not just the look of one. The deep black shell has a calendered surface finish, a process that presses and smooths the nylon under heat and pressure to create its glossy, reflective surface, rather than a coating that can wear off or dull over time.
The Shell
The outer is 100% nylon at 70 GSM, woven from a 50D high-density thread for a fabric that holds its shine and structure despite being genuinely lightweight for its coverage. This calendering process is also what gives the shell its water-repellent quality — the smooth, pressed surface causes moisture to bead and run off rather than soak in, making this a genuinely practical women's high-shine puffer jacket for wet UK winters, not just a fair-weather style piece. It's part of our wider Puffer Jacket collection for Women if you want to compare other finishes and colours.
Insulation and Warmth
Inside, 100% recycled polyester insulation sits at 200 GSM with a 150g fill weight, distributed through horizontal channel quilting in a sewn-through construction — the shell, insulation, and lining are stitched together in defined rows, keeping the fill evenly spread rather than shifting or thinning in patches. This is a genuinely substantial women's padded shiny jacket, built for real insulation rather than a lightweight transitional layer.

Hood and Construction
An insulated, detachable hood adds coverage in harsher weather while keeping the option to remove it for a cleaner silhouette day to day. The front closes with a YKK #5 zipper, and topstitching runs at a consistent 8 SPI using bonded nylon thread throughout. The dense nylon weave also gives the shell genuine wind resistance, cutting through cold gusts more effectively than a lighter, more open-weave fabric would — making this a solid choice as a women's shiny puffer coat for exposed, blustery days as much as still, cold ones.
Fit and Lining
This is a regular fit through the body, with a full polyester lining that lets the jacket slide on smoothly over knitwear. Not sure on sizing? Our Size Guide is worth checking before you order — especially with a hood involved, since that can add bulk around the neck and shoulders. As a women's quilted puffer jacket, it sits well alongside our wider Quilted Jacket collection if you're comparing lighter, non-shine alternatives.
Care
Wipe the shell down with a damp cloth to maintain its shine, and avoid machine washing where possible to protect both the calendered finish and the insulation's loft.
FAQ
Is this jacket waterproof or water-repellent?
It's water-repellent, not fully waterproof. The calendered high-shine nylon shell causes light rain and moisture to bead and run off the surface, but it isn't designed to withstand sustained, heavy exposure the way a fully waterproof shell would.
Is the insulation down or synthetic?
It's 100% recycled polyester insulation, not down — a genuinely warm, more sustainable synthetic fill distributed through horizontal channel quilting to stay even across the jacket.
Is the hood removable?
Yes — the insulated hood is fully detachable, so you can wear it for extra coverage in harsh weather or remove it for a cleaner silhouette on milder days.
