Commuters who brave the early morning chill know the struggle of how cold it can be first thing. Fortunately, shoppers have discovered a game-changing solution in Marks and Spencer's Feather and Down Quilted Hooded Puffer Jacket, which offers cosiness without the cumbersome weight.

Priced at £79, this versatile jacket is available in black and buff, spanning sizes six to 24. As part of the Stormwear™ range, it boasts a cutting-edge water-repellent finish to shield against light rain showers, and its filling comprises 90% new duck down and 10% new duck feather.

Plus, it's machine washable at 40°C delicate. Measuring 72cm in length from neck to hem in a size 12, this jacket has garnered an impressive 4.6-star rating from over 200 reviews.

One satisfied customer said: "I bought this coat in black. It's ideal for me when getting up early for work and sitting in the car. Not too heavy and doesn't make me overheat. It's warm and looks quite stylish."

Another reviewer agreed, adding: "Lightweight yet very warm. Zip up pockets, great for traveling.", reports Birmingham Live.

A third fan said: "Perfect jacket for this time of year. Light and warm. Like that you can alter the fit at the waist as I sometimes feel swamped by padded coats."

A fourth jubilantly shared their experience with the jacket, saying: "This jacket is wonderfully lightweight yet provides unmatched warmth, easily outshining my other jackets. It's exceptionally comfortable and doesn't feel bulky at all, making it perfect for all-day wear. I was so pleased with its performance that I bought it in two different colours.

"The warmth and lightness make it ideal for colder days, and I'd highly recommend it to anyone seeking a comfortable, warm, and lightweight jacket. A truly worthwhile investment for staying cosy! "

Another expressed their satisfaction, noting: "Superb quality. Survived heavy rain and 100kph winds in Patagonia, kept me cosy. Well designed in terms of hood, zips and pockets. Love that there is an alternative to black as well."

However, one customer was dissatisfied, commenting: "Nice looking jacket and I like the hood, but the toggles didn't stay put and therefore made the jacket too big. It also wasn't actually that warm."

Marks and Spencer describes the coat: "Keep the cold weather at bay with this feather and down puffer jacket, featuring textured diamond quilting. This lightweight, regular fit design includes a snug funnel neck, an adjustable drawcord waist and cuffed sleeves. Stay dry in showers, thanks to water-repellent StormwearTM technology and a removable hood. This piece is lined, with fleece in the pockets for extra warmth. It's finished with a zip fastening and high-shine, metallic trims for enhanced visibility."
