The best winter jackets 2026 for men and women: prices from £37 to £360

Winter jackets for men and women cost between £37.00 (adidas Terrex Myshelter Primaloft at Sports Direct, where the page shows only one size) and £360 (The North Face Himalayan Down Parka at Flannels) in the UK partner shops we could read. We checked product pages for The North Face (including the Nuptse), Columbia, Nike, Jordan and adidas, then sorted the jackets by audience (men's and women's) and by budget: up to £100, £150, £250 and £400. We read every price on 29 October 2026.

The short version

• Men's winter jackets start at £37.00 and run to £360. Under £100 you can find adidas, Nike, Columbia and one Jordan

• Women's winter jackets start at £65.00. Up to £150 there are Nike, adidas Terrex, Columbia, Jordan and a North Face Saikuru

• Nuptse: the men's 1996 version costs £250.00 at JD Sports, £252.00 at Pro Direct and £315 at Flannels. The women's version is £269 at Flannels

• Columbia is the cheapest big brand here, with several men's and women's jackets under £100 at ASOS

• Jordan is thin: we found one men's Brooklyn Draft Puffer at JD Sports (£80.00) and one women's puffer at Pro Direct (£126.00)

• Prices and stock change daily, so check the total in the basket before you pay

How we put this together

We looked for puffers, down jackets and parkas for city winters, not for expeditions. We left out shell jackets, running jackets and kids' models. The brands are The North Face, Columbia, Nike, Jordan and adidas.

A word on "bestsellers": no shop marked a bestseller on the product pages we read, so the choice of models is ours. We picked the best-known lines of each brand and checked what they cost. We do not have shop sales data.

Every price comes from a product page. We did not convert anything or guess. Jackets marked as sold out or out of stock are not listed, and where a page gives no stock status we say so. Pro Direct and ASOS had a lot of sold-out items, which is why some obvious models are missing.

Men's winter jackets up to £100

Under £100 the choice is wide, but many of these are heavily reduced and some pages list only a few sizes. Check the size selector before you get attached to one.

• adidas Terrex Myshelter Primaloft Hooded Padded Jacket (370167) at Sports Direct: £37.00. Orbit Violet, was £179.99. The page shows only size S, so check the size selector. This is the outdoor Terrex line. See it at Sports Direct

• adidas Originals Essentials Padded Puffer Jacket (HL9191) at Flannels: £44.99. Burgundy, was £89.99. Sizes XS, L and XL are shown. See it at Flannels

In our view the Nike Club Puffer at £58.00 and the two adidas Originals puffers at Flannels are the strongest value here, but only if your size is in stock.

Women's winter jackets up to £150

In this tier we found a Columbia, a Jordan and a North Face Saikuru.

• Columbia Puffect II Puffer Full Zip Jacket at ASOS: £108.00. Black, was £135.00. See it at ASOS

• Jordan Puffer Jacket (FB5149-010) at Pro Direct: £126.00. Black, was £180.00. Sizes XS to XXL are listed, but the page also says one variant is sold out or unavailable without naming it, so availability is not confirmed. See it at Pro Direct

Women's winter jackets up to £250

Up to £250 we confirmed two North Face Aconcagua jackets at Sports Direct.

• The North Face Aconcagua Insulated Weather-Resistant Parka (441450) at Sports Direct: £170.00. Smoked Pearl, RRP £205.00. The page lists only sizes 8, 10 and 12. See it at Sports Direct

Women's winter jackets up to £400

Up to £400 there is one women's jacket: the Nuptse at Flannels. We did not confirm any women's jacket above £400.

• The North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse Water Resistant Goose Down Short Puffer Jacket at Flannels: £269. TNF Black, was £315. Stock is not stated. See it at Flannels

The North Face Nuptse: what it costs in the UK

The men's 1996 Retro Nuptse in black has three prices in the shops we read: £250.00 at JD Sports (was £315.00), £252.00 at Pro Direct (was £315.00, but XS to L are sold out) and £315 at Flannels. The women's version costs £269 at Flannels, against a full price of £315. A women's Nuptse in Summit Navy/Black at Pro Direct (£290.00) was sold out.

The gap between JD Sports and Flannels is £65 for what looks like the same jacket in the same colour, so compare shops before you buy. Pro Direct's £252.00 is hard to use unless you need an XL or XXL.

Columbia: the best value comes from ASOS

Every Columbia jacket we confirmed is on ASOS, because it was the only shop whose Columbia product pages we could read. Prices run from £79.99 to £179.99 for the models in our lists. Several cheaper Columbia jackets at ASOS (for example Puffect at £46.00 and Powder Lite at £55.00) were out of stock, so they are not listed.

The Columbia UK website loaded, but it showed a promotional page that mentioned a sale ending on 30 June, so we did not use it for price comparison.

Nike and Jordan: logo puffers, but patchy stock

Nike has the clearest bargains at Sports Direct: the men's Therma-FIT Club Puffer at £58.00 and three women's puffers between £65.00 and £94.99. The Pro Direct Club Puffers (£75.00 to £90.00) were all sold out, and so was the Windrunner PrimaLoft Parka.

For comparison, Nike.com UK (not a partner shop) lists the Windrunner Men's Down Jacket at £209.99 and the Club Winterised Full-Zip Jacket at £89.99. We did not find a Windrunner down jacket at a partner shop.

Jordan is the weakest brand in this guide. We found a men's Brooklyn Draft Puffer at JD Sports (£80.00) and a women's puffer at Pro Direct (£126.00). Several Jordan Essentials and Flight puffers at Pro Direct and ASOS were sold out. Nike.com UK lists the Brooklyn Puffer at £169.99, but we found no Brooklyn at a partner shop.

adidas: Terrex bargains at Sports Direct, Originals at Flannels

adidas has the lowest prices in this guide: the Terrex Myshelter Primaloft at £37.00 and the Originals Essentials Padded Puffer at £44.99. Both come with a catch. The Terrex page shows only size S and the Originals page shows sizes XS, L and XL. For women, we confirmed only the Terrex Multi Light Down (£77.99). The ASOS adidas Originals Adicolor puffers were sold out.

For comparison, adidas.co.uk lists the Terrex Multi Light Down CLIMAWARM Jacket for men at £67.20. Its stock is not stated.

How to read the prices

• "Was" and RRP: Sports Direct shows an RRP, while JD Sports, Flannels, ASOS and Pro Direct show a "was" price. They are different reference points, so compare the price you pay at the till

• Early Bird: Sports Direct uses this label on the North Face Diablo, next to an RRP of £300.00

• Stock: Sports Direct and Flannels show a size selector but no stock status. ASOS only states stock for out-of-stock items. "Stock not stated" means unverified

• Discount codes: a code that does not come from Soleback can stop your cashback from being tracked. Check the shop's terms on its Soleback page

Where the sources disagree

• The Sports Direct page for the adidas Terrex Multi Light Down lists beige as the colour, but the description says warm clay and burgundy

• Pro Direct's Nuptse page marks XS to L as sold out but does not say whether XL and XXL are actually in stock

• ASOS does not always state the audience, so for some adidas and Columbia jackets we relied on the section of the site where the jacket is listed

• Sports Direct's men's listing showed two North Face Quest puffers at £71.00 and £93.50, but their product pages did not load, so we did not include them

How reliable the sources are

• High: prices read from product pages at Sports Direct, JD Sports, Flannels, Pro Direct and ASOS on 29 October 2026

• Medium: jackets where the page gives no stock status

What to buy depending on your situation

• Men's, under £100: adidas Originals Essentials Padded Puffer (£44.99) or Nike Club Puffer (£58.00), if your size is there

• Women's, under £100: Nike Classic Puffer at £94.99 or the Nike Women's Puffer at £65.00 at Sports Direct

• Classic down look: Nuptse at £250.00 (men's, JD Sports) or £269 (women's, Flannels)

• Value Columbia: Puffect III at £84.99 (men's) or Puffect II Cropped at £79.99 (women's), both at ASOS

• Outdoor and city: North Face Diablo at £209.00 or the women's Aconcagua at £155.00, both at Sports Direct
