This selection brings together men's puffer jackets, bombers, and parkas from the Foot-Store catalogue, designed to face the cold without giving up a sporty and urban look. You’ll find both short and long cuts, with or without hoods, from brands like adidas and Nike.
From quilted puffer jackets to lighter bombers, each model is suitable for both outdoor training and everyday wear in the city.
The men's selection includes several types of warm clothing, each with its own purpose. You can find padded jackets, both short and long, with or without hoods, for the coldest days. Bombers, which are shorter and more fitted, are suitable for everyday wear when you're looking for a sportier silhouette. Parkas, often lined and sometimes fitted with a hood, provide extra protection against wind and rain. Some models also offer a reversible cut or sleeveless design, which is handy if you want to layer a sweatshirt or jacket underneath.
The choice mainly depends on your daily usage. A short padded jacket is easy to wear under a coat or jacket and is suitable for your daily travels, while a long version gives you more coverage and is meant for days spent outdoors. Hooded models add protection against the wind, which is useful alongside a beanie or cap. If you take part in outdoor activities, a sleeveless padded jacket allows for more freedom of movement in the arms while keeping the torso warm.
A padded jacket or bomber easily pairs with the rest of a sporty and lifestyle outfit. A sweatshirt worn underneath completes the look for the coldest days, while a polo or t-shirt is enough for mid-season. Below, joggers or shorts depending on the time of year complete the silhouette. You can check out the men's sweatshirts, the men's polos and t-shirts, the men's joggers, and the men's shorts to complete your outfit.

A padded jacket is quilted and designed to insulate from the cold, while the bomber has a slimmer and more fitted cut, with generally lighter insulation. Therefore, the bomber is better suited for transitional seasons or urban use, while the padded jacket is aimed at cold days. The choice mainly depends on the temperature and the intended use.
A sleeveless padded jacket warms the torso but leaves the arms exposed, so it is usually worn in addition to a sweatshirt or a long-sleeved jacket. It works well if you're very active, such as during outdoor sports activities. For complete protection in cold weather, a classic long-sleeved padded jacket is more suitable.
It's best to check the size guide for the specific model, as the fit can vary from brand to brand and model to model at adidas and Nike. A padded jacket meant to be worn with a sweatshirt underneath often requires you to go one size up from your usual size. If you're unsure between two sizes, the looser fit is generally the safer option for this type of clothing.
Some models, like those with hoods or sleeveless versions, are suitable for sporty outdoor use as they allow for more freedom of movement. Others, which are longer or more covering, are more geared towards everyday and urban use. The description of each product specifies its cut and features, helping you make the right choice.
Caring for a padded jacket depends on the model and material, so it's recommended to always check the label on each padded jacket or parka before washing. Some materials like ripstop or quilted linings require special precautions to maintain their insulation. If in doubt, washing at low temperatures and air drying helps limit the risk of damaging the garment.
