A long grey puffer built for cold days, with the details laid out honestly
This is a women's knee-length puffer in grey, made by CONGRUN (model YF-2083). The shell is quilted in horizontal baffles, the collar stands high and snug around the neck, and the hem falls somewhere between the knee and the calf. The cut is loose and a little oversized, so there is room for layers.
If you are searching for a waterproof knee length puffer coat for extreme cold, here is what we can tell you plainly. The coat looks thick and warm in the photos, and the length covers a lot of you. What we cannot tell you is that it is waterproof. The listing does not mention waterproofing, and no temperature rating is published. We would rather say that up front than let you find out in a storm.
What it does offer is coverage, a roomy shape and a simple, clean look at $119, with free shipping to the US.
Why it works for people who want long, roomy winter coverage
This coat suits someone who spends real time outside in the cold and wants the wind kept off their legs, neck and wrists. It is not a technical mountaineering shell. It is an everyday long puffer, and its strengths are in the design.
Knee-to-calf length
Most puffers stop at the hip, which leaves your thighs exposed at bus stops and on long walks. This one runs from the knee to the calf, so your whole upper leg is covered. Sit down on a cold bench or a train platform and the coat falls around you instead of riding up.
Length also means more fabric to move around. Expect to take slightly shorter steps on stairs, and lift the hem a little when you climb into a car. That is the trade for the extra warmth, and most people who choose a long coat are glad to make it.
High funnel collar and ribbed cuffs
The collar is a high stand or funnel style. It sits up around your neck and the lower part of your chin, which blocks drafts without needing a scarf. If you do like a scarf, a thin one tucks in neatly. There is no hood on this coat, so plan on a hat for snow or rain.
The long sleeves finish in ribbed cuffs. Ribbing hugs the wrist and helps keep cold air from running up your sleeve. It also sits comfortably over thin gloves. We do not know how much the ribbing stretches, so the photos are our guide here.
Fabric and feel
Here is what the specs say. The material is listed as polyester, the pattern is solid, and the style is casual. The closure is a zipper, and the only decoration is the zipper itself. The shell looks smooth and quilted in grey, and the baffles are visible in the photos.
There is one thing we want to be clear about. The product title mentions white duck down, while the spec sheet lists the filling as cotton. These two statements do not agree, and we do not have a fill weight, fill power or percentage to settle it. We will not guess. If the exact filling matters to you, for allergy reasons or because of your own preferences, please contact us before ordering and we will do our best to check.
On warmth, the coat looks thick in the photos, but the spec sheet lists thickness as "Standard" and season as "All Season." So we would call it a solid cold-weather coat, and we would not promise it is rated for the deepest freezes. Layering a warm sweater underneath is how you get the most from it, and the loose cut leaves room for that.
On water, the shell is polyester, which is smooth and sheds a bit of light snow in the way many synthetic shells do. But the listing makes no waterproof claim, and the spec sheet lists none. Treat it as a coat for dry cold and light snow, and choose a rain shell for heavy rain or wet slush.
The spec sheet also says "whether full opening: No." We read that as the coat not opening like a standard full-length jacket, so check the product photos for how the zipper runs before you buy. We have no hood, no mention of pockets in the specs, and no lining details, so we are not going to describe any.
Care instructions
The listing does not include a care label, so here is what we suggest for a quilted polyester coat. Please follow any label sewn into the coat if one is there, because that overrules our advice.
- Spot clean marks with a damp cloth and a little mild soap.
- If you wash the whole coat, use a gentle cycle and cool water, and avoid bleach and fabric softener.
- Dry it flat or on low heat. Because the filling is unclear, drying slowly and fully is the safest path, so the baffles do not hold moisture.
- Shake the coat out and fluff the baffles by hand once it is dry.
- Hang it on a wide hanger in a dry closet. Do not store it compressed for months.
Size guide
The coat comes in sizes S, M, L and XL, in one color: grey.
How to measure
No size chart has been published for this coat, so the best method is to compare it with a coat you already own and like. Lay that coat flat and measure it, then compare with your own measurements.
- Bust or chest: Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your chest, keeping it level across the back.
- Shoulders: Measure straight across the back from one shoulder point to the other.
- Sleeve length: Measure from the shoulder point down to your wrist bone. A ribbed cuff sits at the wrist, so this tells you where it will land.
- Length: Measure from the base of your neck down to where you want the hem. For this coat, that is usually somewhere between the knee and mid-calf.
- What you will wear underneath: Measure over the thickest sweater you plan to wear with it, or add a little room to your chest number.
Which size should I choose?
The coat is cut loose and a little oversized, according to the photos. That means many people will be happy in their usual size, with room for a sweater underneath.
- If you like a roomy, slightly slouchy shape, take your usual size.
- If you prefer a closer fit, or you are between sizes, go down one size, but keep in mind that thick layers need room.
- If you plan to wear chunky knits all winter, stay with your usual size or go up one, and check the sleeves.
- If you are tall, remember that length is listed as knee-to-calf on the photos. On a taller frame it may sit closer to the knee.
All sales are final, with no returns or exchanges for fit or change of mind. Please take a few minutes with a tape measure before you order. If you are unsure, message us with your measurements and we will tell you what we can see.
How to style it
A long, loose coat in a neutral grey goes with nearly everything, and the shape does most of the work.
- With jeans and boots: Straight or wide-leg jeans and ankle boots keep it casual. Because the hem is long, a slimmer leg underneath balances the volume.
- With leggings and sneakers: An easy option for errands and dog walks. The coat covers you down to the calf, so the legs stay warm.
- With a knit dress or skirt: Let the hem of a dress peek out below the coat, and add tall boots or warm tights.
- With a scarf and hat: There is no hood, so a beanie or a warm hat is useful. The funnel collar leaves room for a thin scarf tucked inside.
- Belt it: There is no belt in the photos. If you want more shape, a wide belt worn over the coat gives you a waist, though it is optional.
Grey works with black, white, cream, navy and burgundy, so you do not need to plan too hard.
Where else you can wear it
A long puffer is useful in more places than the morning commute.
- Commuting and errands: Covers you on platforms, at bus stops and in parking lots.
- Outdoor events: Good for football games, markets, tree lighting and parades, where you stand still for a while.
- Travel: Easy to wear over a sweater on the plane, then use as a layer or blanket if the cabin is cold.
- Winter walks: For dog walks and park loops in dry, cold weather, where a hood is not essential.
For serious hiking in wet weather, a dedicated rain shell is still the better tool.

Why shop with Coat Raven
We sell coats, and only coats. That gives us time to read each listing closely and tell you what we can and cannot confirm. When a title and a spec sheet disagree, as they do on this coat's filling, we say so rather than choose the version that sounds better.
Prices are in US dollars, shipping to the US is free, and our policy is simple and written out above. If you have a question about size or details before you order, ask us. A short message is better than a coat that does not suit you.
Frequently asked questions
Is this coat really waterproof?
We cannot say that it is. The listing does not mention waterproofing and gives no water rating. The shell is polyester and looks smooth, so it should handle a dusting of dry snow, but we would not rely on it in heavy rain or wet snow.
Is it filled with down or cotton?
The product title says white duck down, while the spec sheet lists the filling as cotton. We do not have a fill weight or percentage to confirm which is right. If it matters to you, contact us before ordering.
Does it have a hood?
No. The spec sheet lists it as not hooded. The high funnel collar protects your neck, and a hat or beanie is the way to cover your head.
How long is it?
In the photos, the hem falls between the knee and the calf. Exact length will vary with your height, and no length measurement is published, so compare it with a long coat you own.
Can I return it if it does not fit?
No. All sales are final for fit or a change of mind. If the coat arrives damaged, defective or is the wrong item, we will replace or refund it within 14 days of delivery.
