For mountain travelers, nothing signifies legitimacy and belonging moreso than a good puffy jacket. Puffers are as stylish among those in the outdoors community as they are functional, but buying the right puffer is tricky. Lightly filled puffers often fall into the dreaded “athleisure” category, and therefore aren’t functional for much beyond trips to the grocery store and happy hour at the local pub. On the other hand, heavily-filled options often leave the wearer waddling down the trail like a displaced penguin, swishing their arms T-Rex style even as the lower half of their body struggles to maintain its composure. The key to the perfect everyday puffer is finding an ideal balance between the two. That balance lies in the Cotopaxi Fuego down jacket.
