M&S shoppers flock to buy 'lightweight' puffer jacket for spring
Need a jacket that will take you into spring? Marks & Spencer's quilted puffer jacket is a must-have this season, providing both warmth and style
Spring is on the horizon and if you're looking for effortless spring layers, Marks & Spencer has got you covered. The high-street hero is helping us prepare for the start of the warmer season with plenty of new wardrobe must-haves - including a 'beautifully made' puffer coat.
When visiting my local M&S branch, I came across the retailer's Feather and Down Quilted Packaway Puffer Jacket, £55, in four different colours. I immediately fell in love with the lightweight style, especially the spring-ready pink version.
Customers can also get the puffer in khaki green, light natural and classic black. It comes as no surprise that this jacket is already a best-seller on Marks & Spencer's website - with shoppers praising how light yet warm it is.

The Feather and Down Quilted Packaway Puffer Jacket is ideal when you want to keep warm without adding bulk to your outfit. This M&S Collection piece is filled with a blend of feather and down and features a secure zip-through fastening.
Offered in a regular fit for easy layering, it has a water-repellent finish to keep you dry in light rain showers. There are two zipped side pockets for small essentials, plus it's also designed to pack into a bag effortlessly.

On the M&S site, the quilted coat has an impressive average star-rating of 4.7 out of five from 359 reviews, most of which are from impressed buyers. One said: "Lovely Jacket which I have got for spring. It is a good fit beautifully made and I love the colour (pink). It's very light and rolls up into a small packaway - ideal for day out / hols in variable weather & cool evenings."
Another penned: "I bought in green size 12. Fits well, lightweight and warm. Great that it packs away and so great for travel. Well worth the money."
A third added: "Lovely jacket for spring/summer. Very light and folds up small into bag provided for use when needed. Pretty pink colour and fits true to size."
There are some negative comments from shoppers, though. One wrote: "Was a bit disappointed its a thin as it is, thought there would be a bit more padding to it, will be okay for summer."
