The Best Warm Winter Coats by Nike
1. Puffer Jackets
Nike puffer jackets come in a versatile selection of designs, with styles that suit many people's tastes. Choose from options that fall just below the hip for everyday streetwear to knee-length coats for more broad coverage on cooler days.
For your daily jacket, consider one of the Therma-FIT puffers. These coats feature specialized technology that employs your body’s heat to help insulate and keep you warm. They also come in loose and fitted silhouettes. Matte and high-shine finishes are in the mix, too, which can help complement two different moods. For example, choose a matte finish on days when you prefer to blend in with the crowd and a high-shine finish when you want to be center stage.
When the weather is extra harsh, Storm-FIT puffers sparkle. These jackets use technology that helps to protect you from gusts of wind and sleet, snow or rain. Not to mention, they offer room for layering underneath, so you can be doubly protected against the cold.
For those statement-making moments, reach for a faux fur puffer. Nike faux fur puffer options offer a twist on the classic puffer — a slightly fuzzy exterior— with a synthetic down fill and bungees at the hem to seal in warmth.
Pair With: High-Waisted Jersey Pants
Loose and fitted puffers partner well with these high-waisted bottoms. Consider Repel pants with their water-resistant fabric and wide leg to accommodate sturdy boots on wet days. Or, go for ankle-hugging Phoenix fleece joggers with a tall ribbed waistline to help keep secure as you navigate your day.

2. Fleece Jackets
Nike fleece jackets serve up function on milder winter days — or when you just want to add a warm layer underneath a heavier coat. Nike fleeces offer a range of hemlines, with some varieties hitting right at the hip and others brushing just above the knee. There’s also a range of silhouettes to help match your style.
Choose Nike Tech Fleece, which offers a smooth, lightweight feel to get warmth without added bulk. The classic Windrunner can keep your phone, wallet, and keys secure as you go about your day — all thanks to zippered pockets. Or, reach for a style like the oversized Hoodie Cape, offering a high-low hemline and off-centered zipper for a chic moment.
Sherpa Fleece jackets by Nike have a traditional fleece feel thanks to its plush, textured fabric that’s soft to the touch. Available in button- and zip-up styles, this fleece will help keep you comfortable as temperatures begin to chill.
Pair With: Sportswear Joggers and Sweatpants
Designed for workouts and street-style moments, these joggers can be worn just about anywhere. Choose a high-waisted option to tuck under an oversized fleece, or pair a wide-legged sweatpant with a fitted jacket to emphasize the leg’s silhouette.

3. Vests
You don’t necessarily need a jacket every day in the winter. Nike vests can help seal in warmth around your core while leaving your arms free for just-right temperature regulation. Layer them over a hoodie, long-sleeve or T-shirt — depending on what you’re feeling or have planned for the day.
When the weather is unpredictable, reach for a Nike Storm-FIT vest. Storm-FIT vests are packed with insulation and swathed in water-repellant fabric to help protect you from the elements — and they produce a toasty feel.
On colder days, reach for a Nike Therma-FIT vest. Whether you choose a knee-length option or one that sits at the hip, they’re all designed to help manage your body heat and insulate the gaps between your body and the vest.
Pair With: Tech Pack Women’s Pants
Consider Tech Pant pants your below-the-belt armor on cold days. Crafted with soft, but strong fabric, these pants will help keep you feeling comfortable amid cooler temps. The high waistband and wide-leg silhouette will highlight the fit of your vest of choice.

4. Parka Jackets
Nike parka jackets help to shield your upper and lower body from the cold, providing impressive heat insulation on even the most frigid days. This is especially the case for puffy options made with Nike Therma-FIT technology, which pulls your body’s natural heat to help create a toasty environment between you and the jacket.
Choose from a loose silhouette with room for layers or a more fitted option with sleek lines — either will provide warmth when you need it most.
Pair With: Nike One Leggings
Balance out the parka’s signature puffiness with Nike One leggings. These second-skin bottoms hug your body and can be worn with sneakers or tucked into boots. Leave your parka unzipped to show off the leggings’ high waist or fasten the coat up against the cold to let your tights peek out below.
