The next cold season will definitely come, which means that you will have to look again for reliable and stylish clothes to protect you from the Russian cold. If you are interested in Puma men's sports jackets, see below for the best selection tips and size chart.
About the manufacturer
The international brand Puma represents quality sportswear and footwear. The long history of the empire began with a small shoe manufactory (shoe factory Dassler Brothers), founded by brothers Adolf (younger brother) and Rudolf (joined the company later) Dassler in their hometown Herzogenaurach (German: Herzogenaurach). At first, the enterprise was located directly in the parental home (1919), but after 5 years it moved to its own premises.
Interesting fact. The company owns a patent for the world's first spikes and boots. The entire German team put on their shoes to participate in the Olympic Games.
In 1948, despite the tremendous success, the brothers fell out so that the younger opened his own company, Adidas, and the older one - Puma. Now the residences of both firms are located on the same street opposite each other. Over time, the Puma product line has expanded to include apparel, accessories, and inventory, with renowned fashion designers from all over the world involved in the design.
The result of the fusion of sports and a new way of life has become comfortable and beautiful things that many athletes and celebrities, as well as millions of their fans around the world, prefer for everyday wear. For over 70 years, with a German approach to work and a worldwide reputation, the heritage of producing goods of unrivaled quality has been preserved. Today, there are 121 factories in Asia (mainly in China and Vietnam), two are in Europe and three in the United States. Distribution is established in more than 120 countries and employs over 11 thousand employees.
Range
The Puma company offers a wide range of winter and demi-season sports jackets for men for every taste. You yourself choose all the necessary criteria: size, price, color and seasonality. There are sales and expensive limited editions. Travelers will love the models that fold easily and transform into a pocket that closes with a zipper at the top, which is very convenient for transportation. The modern cut with a lengthened backrest, branded finishes and trendy design will highlight your great taste.
Artificial insulation or natural down-feathers will protect from strong winds and frosts, high-tech breathable materials will shelter not only from strong winds and snow, but even from heavy rain.
Innovative technologies PWRWarm, WarmCELL and WindCELL are designed to provide a comfortable temperature, to minimize heat loss and not to overheat at the same time, uniformly maintaining the temperature balance even in the most unfavorable weather conditions.
In 2004, Ferrari was awarded a multi-year contract for the Puma Scuderia Ferrari line of clothing, windbreakers and jackets. They have unique performance properties and increased comfort thanks to the wind and waterproof upper material. It is a recognizable symbol of legendary cars in an alliance with the best materials and trendy design.
size table
Not a single manufacturer has the same decoding of letter codes, so you need to keep in mind that the data given in the table are very conditional and, depending on the style and the specific model, may vary slightly. For male models, the difference in girth between adjacent steps of values is 8 cm. The arm length is measured along the line of the bent elbow from the bone on the shoulder to the wrist. The back length may vary from model to model.
American letter code | S | M | L | XL | XXL | XXXL |
Russian size | 42/44 | 44/46 | 46/48 | 48/50 | 50/52 | 52/54 |
Height (cm) | 170 | 176 | 182 | 182 | 188 | 188 |
Waist (cm) | 76 | 82 | 88 | 96 | 104 | 114 |
Bust (cm) | 84 | 92 | 100 | 108 | 116 | 124 |
Thigh girth (cm) | 88 | 95 | 102 | 110 | 118 | 126 |
Sleeve length (cm) | 86 | 87 | 91 | 92 | 94 | 96 |
Basically, the dimensional grid of Puma jackets is larger, therefore, when sold in Russia, for convenience, the decoding in Russian double size is indicated. If you wear size 50, then you can safely try on size L, which corresponds to the Russian 46-48.
How to choose?
A men's winter jacket should be roomy enough to comfortably wear a thick sweater underneath. Designers offer a variety of styles, depending on your taste and weather conditions. Short sports models, pilot, parka, alaska are always popular, and since last year, voluminous and elongated oversized down jackets have come into fashion.
General differences between winter jackets:
- natural down or synthetic insulation;
- the amount of filler (indicated in grams);
- waterproof (impregnated) or simple material;
- number of pockets;
- back style and length;
- removable or one-piece hood;
- reflectors;
- drawstrings on the belt and fasteners on the hips, sleeves and neckline;
- elastic bands on the hem and cuffs;
- width and type of stitch.
Natural duck or goose down is taken from the oily bottom layer, between the skin and the outer feathers. Fluff clusters contain air pockets that give birds buoyancy and provide a protective waterproof membrane. Another advantage is its resistance to crushing and damage. It is very convenient for those who often travel to different climatic zones and carry a jacket in a suitcase.
The hood can also be trimmed with natural or faux fur, or no fur at all. Here, of course, only a matter of taste and outlook, if you are concerned about the ethics of the issue from the point of view of environmental protection. The length of the product is chosen depending on the rest of the image.
If you plan to wear office suits often, then it is better to opt for an elongated model.
Another important criterion for choosing a down jacket is the quality of the stitch. Ideally, there should be no more than 15 cm between the seams. This will prevent the migration of the insulation so that it does not get lost in lumps.
The more grams of filler inside, the greater the volume of air between the body and the street, which means that it is warmer. In demi-season jackets and windbreakers, it is noticeably less (but not less than 70 g), only down jackets with 200-300 g of insulation are designed for severe frost at -20.
Synthetics are not always indicative of poor quality. Even famous fashion houses produce high-tech down jackets with expensive fillers, which are not inferior, and sometimes even surpass natural down in their performance. They can simultaneously heat better and weigh less, be thin.
Manufacturers write all detailed information about each specific product on the official website of the online store and on product labels. Pay attention to the material of the upper - this is more important than it might seem at first glance. Many people have a special reverence for natural fabrics, since they are much softer and more pleasant to the touch.
However, a small percentage of synthetics or special impregnations for cotton improve the wear resistance of the material, it repels water and dirt much better.
Look for high-quality breathable fabrics - during physical exertion, such materials not only keep you warm, but also remove excess moisture. If perspiration appears on the body, then the body will begin to cool quickly, which can negate all the benefits of a thick layer of insulation.
Besides, polyester, from which 90% of all jackets are made, is many times cheaper to manufacture. And no matter how paradoxical it may sound, but the cotton industry today is one of the most environmentally harmful to the environment on the planet.
The usual utilitarian street style clothing, which was previously considered commonplace, has become a fashionable designer item.
The choice of length and material depends on your wallet and taste, and you can stand out from the crowd (if you want it, of course) due to the bright color or hypertrophied (oversized) style. AND do not be confused by the mixing of styles, now it is quite possible to combine a sports down jacket with an elegant suit or a coat with sneakers.
