Editors Notes Black insulated puffer jacket with attached hood, horizontal quilted baffles, full front zipper with Velcro storm flap, Columbia logo embroidery on chest and sleeve, technical synthetic shell and lining, on-seam hand pockets. Columbia Sportswear, founded in 1938 in Portland, Oregon, built its reputation on practical outdoor gear designed for hikers, skiers, and everyday adventurers. Puffer jackets like this became popular in the late 20th century as lightweight yet highly insulating outerwear for cold, wet climates. Columbia is especially known for its functional fabrics, sensible cuts, and durability rather than flash, which keeps pieces like this looking timeless. Today, vintage and past-season Columbia puffers are sought after for their reliability, no-nonsense aesthetic, and easy pairing with both technical and streetwear looks. This jacket fits right into the modern trend of functional outdoor wear crossing over into everyday city wardrobes, especially when layered over casual knits and denim. Owning a Columbia puffer feels like having a trusty, go-anywhere winter staple with a long outdoor heritage behind it.
