Puffer jackets, aka quilted jackets, are
outerwear with quilted design with sections that
looks "puffy" amidst the stitches. They can be
filled with down insulation or synthetic fibers.
Both come with a high level of warmth depending
on how well they are made and the quality of the
synthetic fibers. This outerwear is easy to
compress and lightweight making it ideal for
very active people. The "puffs" of a wholesale
puffer jacket are created by the combination of
the insulation layer and stitching. Wholesale
puffer jackets usually have vertical and
horizontal puffers are the most common patterns
in the market. That said, there are a few brands
that offer square and other shapes that provide a
more fitted, practical jacket that lasts
longer. Here are the factors you should look for
before buying a puffer jacket.

Wholesale puffer jackets come with two types of
insulation - down and synthetic. Down jackets
are filled with the actual down - that is goose
feathers of a goose. These Feathers are what
keeps the birds warm and insulated, and they also
make an excellent insulator for jackets. Jackets
made of down are fairly costly. The price goes
up based on the fill power of the jacket -
which is a huge factor that determines its
warmth. Puffers use synthetic fibers that are
created for the sole purpose of filling in these
jackets. These materials have been engineered to
almost perfection, and they provide nearly as
much insulation and warmth as real down can, but
at a much lower price point. Puffer jackets also
avoid the regular wash issues that cause the
jackets to give away faster, making them the
ideal outerwear that you can wear to work, and on
a morning jog.

Stitching The "puffs" of a puffer jacket are made
with a combination of the insulation layer and
stitching. The most common stitchings are
vertical and horizontal. But you can also find
diamonds and other geometric shapes to provide a
more fitted, functional jacket that is more
durable. Vertical stitching tends to be more
form flattering, while horizontal stitching lends
to a more bulky look. Jacket Features You may
