Best for low temperatures: the long duvet coat
As close to an actual duvet as it gets, a full-length padded coat is the ultimate in winter outerwear, taking on the worst weather that the season can throw at you with ease. The perfect layer to pop over thermals to keep you snuggly on chilly walks, our longline duvet coats combine weather-beating technology with design details to help you stay warm and dry, such as funnel necks and hidden hoods. This feather and down padded duvet coat is a classic cold-weather style you’ll wear for many chilly seasons to come.
Best for rainy days: the Stormwear puffer jacket
The great British winter requires a coat that’ll protect you from the freezing temperatures and seemingly endless showers that are hallmarks of the season. Many of our longline duvet coats and padded jackets feature water-repellent Stormwear technology as well as Thermowarmth to keep them super warm yet lightweight, making them as practical as they are stylish. This black hooded puffer jacket features drizzle-beating Stormwear and a feather and down filling to keep you toasty on even the coldest days. Add this season’s most-wanted knitwear for a layered look.
Best for versatility: the padded gilet
A layering hero that’ll keep your core warm without restricting movement, a padded gilet is ideal when your coat is too hot but you still need some insulation; plus, it can be worn under a winter coat for extra cosiness. Marrying style and practicality, this fern-green gilet features water-repellent Stormwear technology and Thermowarmth to keep you snug. Sporty padded gilets are a useful addition to your fitness kit for cold-weather workouts. Our Goodmove gilets are made from recycled polyester with zip pockets to stash your keys and phone, making them a versatile layer for outdoor exercise on chilly days.
