Find the Right Fit and Puffer Jacket Style

You’ll find lightweight and insulated jackets, longline options for more coverage, hooded puffers for added protection, and sleeveless puffer vests that give you warmth through the core without bulk in the arms. Each jacket and vest are made to move with you and fit over your layers without riding up, bunching, or getting in the way.

Choose Your Insulation: Down or Synthetic

Down jackets are warmer for their weight and pack down smaller, making them ideal for cold, dry conditions or travel. Synthetic insulation holds heat when wet and dry faster, which makes them better suited to damp, changeable environments.

All Macpac down is fully traceable through Allied Feather and Down. It’s responsibly sourced and made to last season after season.

Not sure which puffer jacket is for you? Our puffer jacket buyers guide explains the key differences between down and synthetic insulation, and helps you choose the right option.

Weather Protection: Water-Resistant vs Waterproof

Most men’s puffer jackets are water resistant, which means they’ll handle light rain, snow, and short bursts of bad weather. For sustained exposure, you’ll want something fully waterproof. That means sealed seams, weatherproof zips, and outer fabrics built to block the elements. If that’s what you need, explore our range of men’s rain jackets.

Layering and Sizing That Works

Macpac puffer jackets for men are available in NZ sizes XS to 3XL. They’re built with room to move, enough space to fit over thermals or fleece, and smart design choices that avoid bulk. You’ll stay warm without losing range of motion, whether you’re setting up camp, hauling gear, or walking the dog.
