Little Donkey Andy Mens Waterproof Puffer Jacket Hooded Windproof Warm Down Jacket with Recycled Insulation

Okay, we're in the middle of a pretty cold winter, with thermometers hovering as low as -5 degrees below zero for days at a time. My old coats were useless against that kinda cold. I'd heard that the newer fluffy coats were the best so I spent a couple of hours looking. I didn't want one that was too puffy, but I wanted something guaranteed to stop the cold. After reading hundreds of reviews, this coat stood out because it is seamless. No stitching - meaning no place for the wind to creep through. The eco filling was also a plus (no ducks were harmed in the making of this coat! Ha!) I trusted Amazon sizing for my profile (5/11 and half x 200 pounds) .. IT FIT PERFECTLY! And I really like the cut, it is very flattering for a poofy. It's keeping it's shape well (even though it came squashed flat in a vacuum sealed airtight double bag. Takes about 24 hours to relax. The temperature was 12 degrees out when I wore it the first time. Wow! The wind cut through my jeans immediately! And within a few minutes, my face began to tighten and burn. Even my gloves weren't up for the job. But the coat... I swear there was no sensation of cold coming through it! At all! I pulled the hood up over my toboggan and zipped the coat all the way up (it covers your mouth. Instant relief!! Lots of pockets. The material is rip stop; very hard to tear. Water just rolls right off it. I have no delusions that I won't have to spray Water Proofing on it before each winter. Nothing stays waterproof for ever. If there's any negative at all, it would be the fact that this coat can not be worn inside! One would be sweating profusely within minutes. Maximum heat tolerance is probably about 45 degrees and if you want to move around, wear a lighter coat, because this thing is built for around freezing or below. Oh, I got it on sale nearly half off on one of Amazon's sale days. Win win win. If you want to stay warm and receive the best quality? AND look great wearing it? This is a very smart purchase! I've been reviewing products for Amazon since 2012.... I put my name on it. Read more

This is an excellent jacket. I've used it in 30's degree weather and I am toasty with just a long sleeve shirt on. The blue color is nice, looks good and it appears durable. I have had no issues with zippers or draw strings on the hood and bottom of jacket, as they work well. I am a slim 6'4" and the sleeves and jacket length are perfect, although it is a little boxy at the bottom. I just bring it in a bit with the draw string. I have not tested the water resistence, but it did repel water when I washed it. I would have no reservations about wearing this in very low temps with a few layers. For the price point, I got more than I paid for. Very happy. Read more

Loose sleeve opening resulted in only four stars, otherwise this would be a solid five star review. Love the coat, everything I was looking for: attached hood for minimal air infiltration, water resistant/proof, zippered pockets, inner pockets, warm yet not bulky, fits true to size, price a bargain for what you get! BUT: the sleeve opening has very minimal elastic and no cuff, so air infiltration going up your arm is going to be a huge heat loss for what otherwise is a really nice coat. Read more

Fantastic. Warm. Waterproof. Really a winter weight jacket. Excellent value for the money. Read more

Was just about to spend $300 on a waterproof puffer, and then this happened. What an amazing coat for the price! Not thin at all, very well insulated for the price tag! I am almost too warm just trying it on!! Seems to be legit waterproofed, and material is a more durable feel, not like thin cheaper down puffer coats from Eddie Bauer or Patagonia. Longer cut so tall people this is for you! Make sure and do size up, the shoulders seem to fit tighter than the rest of the coat, but otherwise great fit and cut! Being tall and skinny, I usually hate ordering a size up due to all the extra room I get around the coat, this does not have that issue and seems to be almost a slim fit cut. All seems look incredible. A very well made jacket!! I can’t believe this coat is only $65, probably getting another color just because! BUY IT!! ***update*** Just returned from a Backcountry snowshoe adventure on Mt. Rainier in blizzard conditions and near single digit temperatures and I was very toasty. This coat is extremely warm but does not have any ventilation. First day I wore it I had a merino wool base layer, a fleece and this jacket and it was wayyy too much heat, I was sweating within 10 mins in a blizzard. Next day I wore just my wool base layer and this coat in 15 degree weather and I was perfect. Also, if you wear snow bibs, beware of excess heat from those as well. The waterproofness is impressive, in snow. Rain seems to be a bit more challenging for the coat, but even in rain, water did not seep in, just seemed to start to soak into the shell on shoulders. The material is perfect, would even make a great climbing jacket as it’s very strong and durable and withstands scrapping and stretching. If they update this version to have underarm vents, it’s a perfect jacket. Still, 10/10 for being so cheap and amazing warm and comfy. Read more

I bought this in the 3X size. In the teal blue color. The arms are really long and there’s no elastic around the wrists, nor any other way you can strap the wrists tighter to make them stay up and to keep out the extra cold. I’ll probably have to do a bit of redesigning in this area to fix it. The hood is warm and fits well. It doesn’t fold into itself, but with a bit of Velcro I’m sure the hood and wrists can be fixed. It’s not as light in weight like down, because it’s not down. Recycled insulation? What do we have here; not sure, time will tell if recycled insulation is what it lives up to or not. It has three chest pockets: one outside, and two inside. Two huge handwarmer pockets. The zippers are a bit finicky. For an inexpensive jacket I feel it is well made with a few cut corners. Given as a gift there should be no complaints from the receiving party. Personally I’ll be looking for a true down jacket next year. Read more
