We've shown you quite a few fleece-lined jackets already, but this one from Dickies has to be one of our favorites. Why? Well, aside from the dressed-down, streetwear vibes this one has, it's also super functional and warm without looking like a typically bulky, puffy winter jacket. The water-repellent fabric is ideal for getting caught in the rain, and the jersey-lined hood looks like you've got your favorite hoodie on underneath. Plus, there's a dual zipper and button closure for extra security.

Eddie Bauer crafts pieces that will stand-up to the harshest of elements, and the brand's down jacket is no exception. You can purchase it in over 10 different colors—from classic black to a pop of orange. It's an especially great option for anyone eco-conscious, considering shell and lining are made using recycled materials. As they say: green is the new black. Reviewers say it's on the lighter side, so it's probably best if you need a lightweight but sturdy running jacket.

• Not too heavy
• Adjustable hood

• Limited color options

You don't need a sail boat to own this jacket (though if you’ve got one…lucky). In fact, there's a lot to love about this jacket. As the name implies, Nautica kind of specializes in making products for those into the whole nautical lifestyle. This means their products are sturdy enough to handle life at sea, which makes them excel in everyday situations—boat not required. This particular midweight jacket is great for slightly milder conditions, and the faux memory polyester makes it feel like a comforter in jacket form. The hood is adjustable, too.

• Distinct color options
• Relaxed fit

• No hood

Prone to fluctuating body temperatures? Not only is this Lands' End puffer on the lighter side, with a close fit that mimics a sweater, you can even collapse the jacket into a portable bag to take on the go. It's a jacket and a purse—consider it the guy equivalent of a dress with pockets. If you live somewhere with harsher winters, you can even layer this underneath a thicker option for even more insulation.

• High tech quality
• Waterproof

• Pricey

Arc'teryx is like the haute couture of outdoor clothing. It's high performance—the type of stuff people who climb Everest wear (or we would presume…that trip never made it out of our group chat). Still, we always recommend the brand to anyone for everyday outdoor use, especially folks who want something super high-performing.

How can you layer with a winter jacket?

If you expect to be layering things like hoodies or bulky sweaters under your winter jacket, it might be a good idea to size up. For the picks that don't have hoods, leaving your hood untucked in case you get caught in the rain will be both comfier and more functional.

If you're planning on getting a lightweight shell to layer under heavier winter coats, however, opt for something slim fitting and ideally without puffs. Hoods are a good idea, so long as your top layer doesn't have one and the collar and hood aren't too bulky.

What's the best way to make winter jackets last?

As always, follow the care instructions provided by the manufacturer to best care for your winter jacket—we've listed all the care instructions here to make it easier. Spot-clean stains ASAP, though, and don't forget to wash your jackets at least once per season.
