The cold, wet, windy, and even snowy weather is in full swing, and while some may be staying indoors where it is cosy and warm, some have been venturing outside for walks.

Whether you enjoy a Sunday stroll, daily walks, or even are out walking your dog, a trustworthy puffer jacket to wear when braving the elements is a must.

There is one design in particular that has been a huge hit with shoppers - both male and female.
