Columbia worked incredibly hard to make a jacket so soft. The brand jokes that its Amaze Puff jacket is so soft and cozy, it might need a warning label.
The Columbia Amaze Puff insulated jackets are packed full of responsibly sourced down and have an ultra-soft, weather-resistant nylon shell fabric. Beyond that, the jackets have several thoughtful design elements that should prove handy during everyday wear in the coldest months.

These three Amaze Puff jackets share the same 650 fill-power down insulation, making them some of Columbia’s warmest.
Helping all that soft down power stay dry is the brand’s Omni-Shield advanced repellency for additional weather protection. It repels moisture (and stains) so they don’t absorb into the jacket’s yarns. That keeps you clean and dry in messy conditions.
Thoughtful design features include the fleece-lined zippered hand pockets, removable hoods, and drawcord-adjustable hem and thumbhole cuffs to seal off drafts.
Another cool design element of the Amaze Puff jacket is the removable internal backpack carrying strap. These straps let you carry them over your shoulders when you step out of the cold and keep your hands free. It’s a good consideration for quick stops in your everyday routine, like shopping or train commutes.
Columbia offers the Amaze Puff in three styles to fit your preference of length and cold-weather protection.

A Softer Touch to Winter Wear
As you can see, Columbia is promoting the soft side of a puffy with the Amaze Puff jackets. Columbia’s description even leans into the “soft and squishy” feel. But the brand is no slouch on the tech side. The proven Omni-Shield shell keeps out moisture and stains while the lofty 650 fill-power RDS down provides warmth in the coldest conditions.
If you’re choosing a new winter jacket, the Amaze Puff offers performance and thoughtful features to make it an everyday companion.
