The Pippa Packable Puffer Jacket by Free People’s FP Movement is getting into the habit of selling out quickly. Since landing on the site earlier this year, the lightweight coat has sold out not once, not twice, but three times, all within a week of being restocked. Not to mention, complete sell-outs were happening before fall had even begun, a testament to shoppers’ enthusiasm for the outerwear. The puffer has 169 reviews and counting on the site, in which 98 percent of reviewers stated they would recommend it to a friend. Plus, there are an additional 9,600 fans who’ve favorited the style and will likely be back soon, now that the weather report is pointing downward. We don’t have to guess at why exactly this one jacket has exploded in popularity—the answer can be found in its many features, starting with the fact that it packs up into its own pocket. Filled with an ultra-lightweight yet insulating polyester down alternative, the Pippa can be compressed into the size of a small travel pillow, which makes it a perfect on-the-go layer for outdoor adventuring and everyday convenience alike. Its nylon shell is 100 percent waterproof and reflective, so you can feel safe biking at night or walking home after work. And it’s conveniently machine-washable, saving you countless trips to the dry cleaners, something many of your other coats likely can’t claim.

To buy: $168; freepeople.com. As one reviewer puts it: “This jacket is absolutely amazing. If I had to live with one jacket for the rest of my life it would be this.” “This is my favorite coat I have ever owned,” another writes. “I have two colors and wear them all the time. I can dress them up or wear one to go hiking. I love how small the coat packs down into a little bag when hiking. Very comfy and roomy to wear layers under, but still light enough to be active in. The jacket is pricey but dear baby Jesus this thing is worth every penny.” So many more reviewers admit to owning the puffer in multiples, some as many as six. The Pippa comes in nine colors—making the fact that it sold out of all of them multiple times even more impressive—so it’s easy to grow your collection while enjoying a variety of looks. What’s more, outside of the solid colors offered, including Maraschino, Violet Dust, and Magenta Disco, the Pippa can be found in additional variations, like photorealistic prints, earthy patterns, and even a fully reflective style. If we know one thing about this ultra-popular puffer, it’s that it’s bound to sell out again. Shop the Pippa below while you still can.
