Puffer jackets have long been a mainstay of outdoor apparel and speciality lifestyle brands, including New Zealand’s own Huffer; this year celebrating 20 years of business. This category continues to be lucrative for the brand, so it made sense for director Steve Dunstan to release a limited edition, unisex down jacket to celebrate the milestone.
As fashion continues to take inspiration from the outdoor apparel industry (the “gorpcore” trend gaining further street cred from the likes of polar fleece and puffer-jacket wearing A$AP Rocky and Balenciaga’s new styles), the puffer is having a moment. This limited edition Huffer version, however, is made to last.
The D97 anniversary jacket has been two years in development and features 100 per cent goose down with 600 fill power for maximum warmth. Seam-sealed and welded chambers make it completely waterproof — a first in Huffer’s history of developing highly functional outerwear.

Special details add a contemporary touch: patches, phrases, colours, artwork and prints that have been an important part of the brand’s history over two decades are subtly sewn into each of the 97 jackets being made and each is presented in a unique box with its own presentation book.
Limited numbers of the D97 jacket ($600) are available at Huffer’s Britomart store at 12 Customs St and at selected stockists. Visit Huffer.co.nz
To celebrate, we have two Huffer D97 20 anniversary down jackets to give away, including a men’s size large and women’s size 10.
