A long, quilted coat with a hood and pockets for cold-weather days
This is a long quilted puffer coat made for the days when a short jacket leaves you cold. The hem falls to about mid-thigh or knee, the collar sits high, and the full-length zipper closes the front from hem to neck. The diamond-stitched channels give it the classic puffer look without looking bulky.
If you have been searching for a plus size long puffer coat with hood and pockets, this one covers the basics: a hood, zippered hand pockets, long sleeves and extra length. It comes in six colors (Army Green, Black, Beige, Wine Red, Navy and Dark Grey) and in sizes S to XXL.
We like it because it is a straightforward coat. It is described as lightweight and insulated, so you get warmth without feeling weighed down. That makes it practical for commuting, travel and everyday errands, not just standing outside in the cold.
Why it works for women who want length, warmth and practical pockets
A long coat is a different kind of coat from a short puffer. It covers your hips and upper legs, which is where the wind gets in on a cold walk to the bus or across a parking lot. Here is what to look at on this one.
Length and coverage
The listing classes this as a long coat (over 26 inches), and the photos show the hem at roughly mid-thigh to knee. On a taller frame it will sit closer to mid-thigh. On a shorter frame it may reach the knee.
The sleeves are full length. The listing also mentions thumb holes, which some people like for keeping cuffs in place and the wrists covered. The high collar adds protection at the neck. Together with the hood, it gives you several ways to block wind.
Hood, zipper and pockets
The product details describe the hood as detachable, so you can wear it up in bad weather or take it off on milder days. The front zipper runs the full length of the coat, and the listing describes it as a two-way zipper. A two-way zipper lets you open the hem a little when you sit down or climb stairs, which is handy in a long coat.
The photos clearly show two zippered hand pockets. The listing also refers to three pockets in total, so there may be an extra one that is not visible in the pictures. Zippered pockets mean your phone, keys and gloves are less likely to fall out when you move around.
A shell made for wind and weather
The title calls the coat windproof and the specs describe it as water resistant. In the photos, the shell looks smooth, with a clean finish. Water resistant is not the same as waterproof, so think of it as good for light rain, drizzle and wet snow. For a long downpour, you will still want an umbrella.
Fabric and feel
The shell is polyester with quilted stitching. The title describes the coat as insulated, and the listing mentions anti-run filling, which is meant to keep the filling from shifting inside the channels. The listing calls the thickness standard and the overall weight lightweight.
We do not have a fabric breakdown, a fill weight or a lining description from the supplier, so we are not going to guess at them. We also have no stretch information, so treat the coat as a woven, non-stretch garment and leave room for layers.
In practical terms, this is a coat for cool to cold weather, not for extreme cold. In very low temperatures, plan on a sweater or fleece underneath.
Care instructions
The supplier has not given us a care label to quote, so check the tag sewn into your coat first and follow it. As general advice for a quilted polyester coat:
- Spot clean small marks with a damp cloth and mild soap.
- If the tag allows machine washing, use a gentle cycle with cool water and close all zippers first.
- Avoid bleach and avoid high heat.
- Hang the coat to dry, or tumble on low only if the label says it is safe.
- Store it hung up or loosely folded so the quilting keeps its shape.
Size guide
The coat is offered in sizes S, M, L, XL and XXL, and the manufacturer has not published a full size chart.
How to measure
Use a soft tape measure and measure over the thin layer you would normally wear under a coat, not over thick clothes.
- Bust: around the fullest part of your chest, with the tape level across your back.
- Waist: around the narrowest part of your torso, or where you usually wear your waistband.
- Hips: around the fullest part of your hips and seat. This matters on a long coat, because the coat has to close over this area.
- Sleeve length: from the center back of your neck, over your shoulder, down to your wrist.
Write the numbers down and compare them with the size chart above. Remember that a coat needs more room than a regular top, because you will wear it over sweaters.
Which size should I choose?
Because all sales are final for fit or change of mind, we suggest measuring carefully before you order.
If your measurements fall between two sizes, choose the larger one. A quilted coat with no stated stretch is easier to live with when there is room for a sweater, and the extra space does not spoil the look of a puffer.
If you plan to wear it over thick knits or a fleece, go up a size from your usual one. If you will mostly wear it over a tee or a thin top, your regular size should be fine.
The size range here runs from S to XXL. If you usually wear a size above XXL, check the chart carefully. If your measurements are larger than the largest size listed, this coat may not fit you, and it is better to know that before ordering.
How to style it
A long puffer coat in a solid color goes with almost everything, which is a big part of its appeal.
- Everyday: wear it over jeans or leggings with boots or clean sneakers. Black, Navy and Dark Grey are the easiest colors to pair with everything in your closet.
- Work and commute: wear it over trousers or a knit dress. The long length covers the hem of most skirts and dresses, and the zippered pockets keep small things secure.
- Casual weekends: try Army Green or Beige with a chunky sweater and a scarf. Wine Red adds a bit of color to a winter wardrobe full of neutrals.
- Evening: the listing says the coat suits a night out. Wear it over a dress or dressy trousers, then take it off at the door.
You can keep the hood up when it is windy or snowing, and take it off when you are going indoors or want a cleaner neckline.
Where else you can wear it
The listing suggests this coat for hiking, travel and commuting, and those fit with what the photos show. Here are some places we think it works well:
- Commuting: the length keeps your legs warmer on the walk to a train, and the pockets hold your phone and cards.
- Travel: it is described as lightweight, so it is easier to wear on the plane or pack than a heavy parka. A coat you can wear through the airport saves space in your bag.
- Light hiking and walks: the windproof, water resistant shell is useful on cool trails and park walks. It is not a technical mountain jacket, so keep it to easy outings.
- School runs and errands: a coat with a hood and zippered pockets is handy when you are in and out of the car.
- Winter outings: think holiday markets, outdoor events and ball games, with a sweater underneath.

Frequently asked questions
Is this coat waterproof?
The title says waterproof, but the product specifications describe it as water resistant. We would treat it as water resistant. It should handle light rain and wet snow, but it is not meant for long, heavy downpours.
Does the hood come off?
The product details describe the hood as detachable. The photos show the coat with the hood attached, so check how it fastens when your coat arrives.
How many pockets does it have?
The photos clearly show two zippered hand pockets. The listing also mentions three pockets in total, so there may be one more that is not visible in the pictures.
Is it a true plus size coat?
It is offered in sizes S to XXL, so the largest size is XXL. No manufacturer size chart is published, so measure your bust, waist and hips and compare them with the chart above before you order. If your measurements are beyond the largest size, this coat will not be the right choice.
Is it warm enough for winter?
It is an insulated, standard-thickness, lightweight coat, so it suits cool to cold weather. In very cold conditions, wear a sweater or fleece underneath. We do not have a temperature rating from the supplier.
Can I return it if it does not fit?
No. All sales are final for fit or change of mind, so measure before you order. If the coat arrives damaged, defective or is the wrong item, contact us within 14 days of delivery and we will replace it or refund you.
