A long, thick quilted coat built around a big hood
If your winters mean waiting for a bus in the wind or standing on a sideline for two hours, a short jacket stops being enough. This quilted knee length puffer coat for extreme cold is made for that kind of day. It is a long, slim-cut parka with thick polyester fiber filling, horizontal channel quilting and a large faux-fur trimmed hood.
The coat zips fully open down the front, so it goes on and off easily over bulky layers. It has zip pockets for your hands and phone, ribbed cuffs at the wrists, and a small letter patch on the sleeve. It costs $109 and comes in six colors.
One honest note before we go further. We can tell you what the coat is made of and how it is built. We cannot give you an exact temperature rating, because none was published for this coat. What we can say is that it is listed as a thick winter coat, with a polyester fiber fill, a hood and a long cut that covers more of you than a hip-length jacket does.
Why it works for people who feel the cold
This coat is for anyone who spends real time outside in winter and wants more coverage than a standard puffer. The long length, the hood and the closed-up front all work toward the same goal: fewer gaps for cold air to find.
The long cut
The length runs from the thigh to around the knee, depending on your height. That matters because a lot of the cold you feel comes from wind hitting your upper legs while you stand still. A longer coat covers that area, and it also covers the seat of your pants when you sit on a cold bench or stadium seat.
The shape is slim, so it does not look like a sleeping bag. It follows your body rather than hanging off it. The trade-off is that a slim coat has less spare room inside, which we cover in the size guide below.
The hood and the front zipper
The hood is large and trimmed with faux fur. In the product photos it frames the face and looks roomy enough to wear over a hat, though we cannot promise how it fits over every hat or hairstyle. The faux-fur edge also adds a soft barrier around your face when the wind comes from the side.
The zipper runs the full length of the front. You can close it up to the chin when it is bitterly cold, or open it from the bottom when you are walking fast or climbing into a car. A full-length zipper also makes it easier to sit down in a long coat without bunching the fabric.
Quilting, pockets and cuffs
The horizontal channel quilting holds the polyester fiber filling in rows so it does not slide to the bottom of the coat. The coat looks thick and warm in the photos, and the quilted lines give it a clean, structured look.
The zip pockets keep your keys and phone from falling out when you bend or run for a train. The ribbed cuffs sit snug at the wrist, which helps keep drafts from traveling up your sleeves. A letter patch on the sleeve adds a small bit of detail without making the coat loud.
Fabric and feel
According to the listing, the coat is made of polyester with a polyester fiber filling. It is listed as thick and made for winter. It is not a down coat, so it does not use feathers.
We have not been given more detail than that. We do not have a fabric blend percentage, a lining description for this color, a stretch rating, or a waterproof rating, so we will not guess. If you need a coat for heavy, steady rain, treat this one as a cold-weather coat first and a wet-weather coat second.
Polyester fiber fill is a common choice for puffer coats. It tends to be lighter than you would expect from the look of the coat, and it is generally easier to care for than natural fills. Exactly how this one feels on your body will depend on your size and the layers you wear underneath.
Care instructions
No care label details came with the listing, so the label sewn into your coat is your best guide. Check it first. As general advice for quilted polyester coats:
- Spot clean small marks with a damp cloth and mild soap.
- If the label allows machine washing, use a gentle cycle and cool water.
- Close the zipper before washing so it does not snag the quilting.
- Dry on low heat or air dry, and shake the coat out to redistribute the filling.
- Do not iron the quilting directly, and keep the faux fur away from heat.
- Brush or comb the faux fur gently once it is dry.
Store the coat on a wide hanger or lay it loosely in a closet over summer. Do not leave it tightly compressed for months, because that can flatten the fill.
Size guide
The coat is offered in sizes M, L, XL and XXL. The seller has not published a size chart, so please measure yourself carefully before you order.
How to measure
Use a soft tape measure and wear light clothing.
- Bust: measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape level across your back.
- Waist: measure around the narrowest part of your torso, usually just above the belly button.
- Hips: measure around the fullest part of your hips and seat.
- Shoulder to hem: hold the tape at the top of your shoulder and run it down your body to where you want the coat to end. For this coat, think somewhere between the thigh and the knee.
- Arm length: measure from the shoulder bone to your wrist with your arm slightly bent.
Write your numbers down and compare them to the chart above if it shows measurements for your size. If the chart is missing a measurement, such as length, do not assume it. Use the photos as a guide, and remember that the same coat will fall differently on someone 5'2" and someone 5'10".
Which size should I choose?
The coat has a slim fit, and the fill adds some bulk of its own. Here is how we would think about it:
- If you plan to wear this over a T-shirt or a thin top, choose the size that matches your measurements.
- If you want to wear a thick sweater or fleece underneath, size up.
- If you are between sizes, size up. A slim coat that is a little loose still keeps you warm. One that is too tight pulls across the shoulders and squeezes the insulation, which makes it less warm.
- If you are tall, remember that the listed length is described as long, but we do not have a hem measurement for each size.
Please note that all sales are final, so there are no returns or exchanges for fit or change of mind. Take a few extra minutes to measure and compare.
How to style it
A long puffer in pink, red or white is a bright piece on its own. Keep the rest simple. Dark jeans, black leggings, and a pair of waterproof boots all work well with it.
Black, grey and army green are easier to wear with almost anything. They suit people who want one coat for work, errands and weekends. Try a chunky knit sweater and straight-leg trousers underneath, or a plain hoodie for a more casual look.
Since the hood is the main feature, you do not need a scarf with a thick collar. A slim scarf, gloves and a warm hat that fits under the hood will do the job. The slim cut also looks good with ankle boots or sneakers.
For a clean outfit, match the coat to your accessories. A pink coat with white sneakers and a cream knit hat looks neat. A black coat with a grey scarf and dark denim looks calm and polished.
Where else you can wear it
This coat is not only for cold commutes. It also works well for:
- School drop-offs and pickups, when you are standing outside for ten minutes at a time.
- Dog walks and early errands, when you need something you can throw on over pajamas or workout clothes.
- Outdoor events, such as football games, Christmas markets and holiday light displays.
- Winter travel, where a long coat is useful on the way to the airport and while waiting at the gate or in a cold terminal.
- Casual dinners and weekend trips, since the style is clean enough for dressing up a bit.
It is not meant for technical activities like skiing or mountaineering. For those, you would want gear with specific waterproof and breathability ratings.

Why shop with Coat Raven
Coat Raven focuses on coats, so we spend our time on one question: will this coat do the job you are buying it for? We read the listing details, look closely at the photos, and tell you plainly what we can confirm and what we cannot.
For this quilted knee length puffer coat for extreme cold, we picked it because the photos show thick quilting, a large hood, a full-length zipper and a long cut. That is the combination most people want from a serious winter coat. If a detail is not published, such as a size chart or temperature rating, we say so instead of filling the gap.
Frequently asked questions
Is this coat warm enough for extreme cold?
It is listed as a thick winter coat with polyester fiber filling, a hood and a long cut, and it looks very warm in the photos. We do not have a temperature rating, so we cannot give you a number. If you are in very cold conditions, layer a warm sweater or fleece underneath and wear a hat and gloves.
How long is the coat?
The listing describes it as extra long, and the photos show it falling between the thigh and the knee. The exact length will depend on your height and your size. There is no published hem measurement, so use the shoulder to hem measurement in the size guide to decide where you want it to end.
Is the fur real?
The hood trim is faux fur. The coat uses polyester fiber fill rather than down.
Does it run small?
The cut is slim, and there is no published size chart, so we recommend sizing up if you are between sizes or plan to wear thick layers under it. Sizes offered are M, L, XL and XXL.
Can I return it if it does not fit?
No. All sales are final, and we do not accept returns or exchanges for fit or change of mind. If your coat arrives damaged, defective or the wrong item, we will replace or refund it within 14 days of delivery.
