  • Can you wear a puffer jacket in light rain, or is it not waterproof?

    People often ask this question before getting a mens puffer jacket if it's wearable in light rain and the answer is yes. Well, most standard puffer jackets are water-resistant but not fully waterproof. Light rain may bead up on treated fabrics (like nylon or polyester). However, it’s vital to note that prolonged exposure can soak through. For wet weather, opt for down-alternative puffers with a DWR (Durable Water-repellent) coating or technical shells like Gore-Tex. Brands like The North Face and Patagonia offer weatherproof options. Moreover, a puffer will suffice in a light drizzle. However, for heavy rain, it’s best to layer it under a hard-shell rain jacket or choose a hybrid insulated design built for moisture protection.
