What is a Puffer Jacket and how does it differ from down jackets?
A Puffer Jacket – often also called a quilted jacket or insulation jacket – is the all-rounder and perfect everyday companion in autumn. The Puffer Jacket is usually characterized by its distinctive quilting: filled with insulation material in chambers, it stores warmth and protects against cold. In contrast to the classic down jacket, which is often filled with animal down, our TreeJacket Insulated is completely free of animal materials. Instead, we rely on Ecoloft® Heat Lux padding made from recycled polyester.
The great advantage is that the synthetic filling provides reliable insulation, even when wet, and the jacket is also easier to care for and dries faster. Thanks to this padding, our Puffer Jacket is not only animal-friendly, but also practical for everyday use in changeable weather.

Sustainability meets functionality: The TreeJacket Insulated in detail
Anyone who spends a lot of time outdoors knows: A good jacket must be able to do more than just look good. It should protect you, be comfortable and, in the best case, also be sustainably produced. The TreeJacket Insulated combines exactly that. What else distinguishes it? Here are the most important features at a glance:
- 100% recycled outer material made from Kunowa yarn, produced from old car tires
- Padding and lining made from 100% recycled polyester (Ecoloft® Heat Lux)
- Windproof, water-repellent and PFC-free
- Adjustable hood, adjustable hem and high zipper with chin guard
- Practical: stowable in the side pocket with loop for attachment to a backpack
- Fairly produced in Serbia
Thanks to the well-thought-out combination of material, function and design, the TreeJacket Insulated is the ideal companion for autumn, winter and the transitional period – precisely when neither a softshell nor a winter coat really fits.

Easy to care for and durable: How to keep your Puffer Jacket looking good for a long time
To ensure your TreeJacket Insulated accompanies you for many years, proper care is important. Although the jacket is easy to care for and robust, you should still keep a few things in mind:
- Gentle wash cycle at 30 °C, preferably turned inside out
- No fabric softener, do not bleach, do not iron
- Do not tumble dry, air dry instead
- Close zippers and velcro fasteners before washing

Especially in classic black, it becomes a versatile companion – whether you're sporty, live in the city, or prefer to be in nature.
Part of the Muntogna Collection – for your next adventure
Our TreeJacket Insulated is part of the new Muntogna Collection, named after the Rhaeto-Romanic word for mountains. The collection is a tribute to nature, to the vastness, the silence and the power of the mountains. It is aimed at everyone who feels most comfortable outdoors, whether in everyday life or on the trail.
Matching the new Puffer Jacket, there is also the Treeanie Muntogna, whose unique design is inspired by the clear silhouettes of striking peaks and reminds us of the tranquility and strength of nature. The TreeSweater Quarter Zip Muntogna features fine embroidery on the chest, expressing a connection to the mountains. And with the TreeShirt Oversized Muntogna, the tree embroidery is for the first time not on the left chest, but centered under the neckline. A small change with a big impact.
With functional cuts, durable materials and a clear commitment to sustainability, Muntogna combines everything that is important to us at NIKIN. Living consciously, being outdoors, protecting nature and simply feeling good in what you wear.
