Women's jackets lifestyle and padded coats
Winter puffer jackets or mid-season tracksuits: women's lifestyle jackets are not for the same days, and the page covers both, from gym outings to weekends in town.
Puffer jackets, tracksuit jackets, waterproofs, bombers and windbreakers come in women's or unisex cuts, with junior and baby sizes available.
Classic puffer jacket, with or without hood
The puffer jacket is the most prominent piece on the page. The hooded version protects against the wind during your journey, while the classic version is easier to wear with a scarf. The sleeveless puffer keeps your torso warm while leaving your arms free, ideal over a sweatshirt in a chilly gym.
Tracksuit jacket, from the locker room to the city
The tracksuit jacket takes inspiration from sports: high collar, full zip, stripes or chevrons. It can be worn over a t-shirt in mid-season and gives a sporty look without being over the top. It remains the easiest jacket to pair with joggers.
Waterproof, windbreaker, jacket: the other options
The waterproof jacket protects against downpours, the windbreaker, being lighter, can be folded into a bag. The jacket and bomber bring a more urban touch. A few ponchos and denim jackets complete the page for those looking to try something different.
How to choose the right jacket size
Think about what you're wearing underneath: a puffer is often worn over a sweatshirt, so allow for a bit of room. Check the length of the sleeves, which should cover your wrists when your arms are stretched out. The size guide indicates the chest measurement and back length.
Children's and baby jackets
A good number of jackets come in junior sizes, and some in baby sizes. For a child, a hooded puffer with elasticated cuffs keeps the cold out. Going one size up often allows for wearing it for two winters.
Sweatshirts, t-shirts, trousers: complete the outfit
Under the jacket, a sweatshirt from the women's sweatshirts page or a t-shirt from the women's t-shirts page. Below, joggers from the women's trousers page. In summer, the women's shorts take over.
Hummel, adidas, Errea: who makes the jackets
adidas offers its Essentials puffer jackets in both black and colours. Hummel, the most prominent, has classic, hooded, and sleeveless puffers, as well as tracksuit jackets. Errea brings tracksuit jackets and blousons to the club spirit. Erima rounds it off with simple everyday jackets.

Frequently asked questions
How to wash a puffer jacket?
In the washing machine, on a delicate low-temperature cycle, with a mild detergent. Add two tennis balls during drying to help restore the loft of the filling. Check the label before any washing.
Puffer jacket or waterproof jacket for winter?
The puffer keeps you warm in dry and cold weather. The waterproof jacket protects against rain but does not provide much warmth alone. In a damp region, a water-repellent puffer or a waterproof jacket worn over a sweatshirt is a good compromise.
Is a sleeveless puffer enough for winter?
Rarely, unless it's mild weather. Worn over a thick sweatshirt, it keeps the torso warm. It's mainly a mid-season or indoor piece.
Should you size up for a puffer jacket?
Not necessarily, but make sure you can wear a sweatshirt underneath without feeling tight. If you're between sizes, the larger one is often more comfortable. The size guide helps in making a decision.
How to store a puffer jacket in summer?
Wash it and dry it completely, then store it on a hanger or flat. Avoid compressing it for too long in a tight cover as the filling would lose its loft.
