Product Insights
Contemporaine's Ribbed Trim Removable Hood Quilted Mid-Length Coat ($195 CAD) balances sustainable construction with functional warmth: a reprocessed nylon shell (Class A environmental rating) and Sorona insulation that is 37% plant-based, breathable, and wash-resistant. Drafts are sealed by a rib-knit mock neck and cuffs, while a two-way zipper allows venting from the hem. Fleece-lined pockets and a removable hood add comfort and coverage. The main tradeoff is its price, roughly double entry-level eco-puffers, in exchange for biosourced insulation and recycled materials.

Deep Research
Why the rib-knit trim and removable hood matter
- The stretchy rib-knit cuffs create a snug seal at the wrists that prevents cold drafts from entering and keeps the sleeves in place when you reach or bend, eliminating the constant sleeve-tugging that looser cuffs allow.
- The rib-knit mock neck functions as a built-in neck gaiter, trapping a layer of warm air around the body's primary heat-loss zone — eliminating the need for a separate scarf and making the coat more self-contained for cold morning commutes.
- The two-way zipper lets you unzip from the hem upward, allowing quick ventilation when seated in a warm car or bus without exposing the chest to cold, and also provides easy access to the top of your pants or inner layers without removing the coat.
- The insulation combines traditional polyester with bio-based Sorona, a named technology that keeps the fill lightweight — this prevents the mid-length silhouette from feeling heavy across the shoulders even when worn all day, a key practical benefit for commuting or travel.
- With soft polar fleece lining both the side-slit pockets and front patch pockets, the coat doubles as a wearable hand-warmer, taking the chill off bare hands on brisk days and adding a plush tactile contrast that reads as a small daily luxury.
- The nylon canvas shell incorporates stretch, giving the coat enough give for unrestricted arm movement when driving, carrying bags, or reaching overhead — essential for staying comfortable during dynamic daily activities without feeling restricted by stiff fabric.
What reprocessed nylon means for the shell
- Unlike the slick taffeta often found on packable puffers, this coat uses a woven canvas face — a tighter, plain structure that inherently boosts tear strength, wind resistance, and long-term durability, while the added stretch component allows the coat to move with the body without the stiffness of a traditional heavy canvas.
- The shell is cut from reprocessed nylon — a recycled polymer typically derived from pre-consumer fabric scraps or post-consumer waste such as discarded fishing nets — so it diverts plastic from landfills and avoids new petroleum extraction, with a lower fossil-fuel footprint than virgin nylon outerwear.
- Recycled nylon ranks among the highest-scoring synthetic fibers under the Made-By Environmental Benchmark for Fibres: mechanically recycled nylon earns the top Class A (equal to organic linen and recycled wool), while chemically recycled nylon holds Class B, placing both above conventional nylon and polyester — so the shell's material is an unusually strong sustainability choice for a mid-tier puffer coat.
- Because the polymer is chemically identical, reprocessed nylon delivers the same light weight, high abrasion resistance, and fast-drying properties as virgin nylon in everyday wear, with no meaningful trade-off in durability or comfort for its sustainability credentials.
Contemporaine as a Simons exclusive designed in Canada
- The 'Designed in Canada' tag isn't just marketing; it means the coat was conceived in a climate where -25°C days are common, influencing the choice of a high-coverage mock neck, wind-sealing rib cuffs, and a removable hood that can be detached for milder days — practical decisions that distinguish it from fashion-forward puffers built for 5°C drizzle.
- Contemporaine is a Simons own-brand line, so the coat skips the wholesaler markup typical of external labels, putting its $195 CAD price in line with or below comparable quilted coats from mid-tier brands — with the added benefit of an in-house design team that builds for real Canadian cold, evidenced by the ribbed storm cuffs and two-way zip that let you vent or layer without removing the coat.
- Contemporaine consistently uses reprocessed nylon and recycled polyesters — sister coats like the half-length puffer are built from 100% reprocessed nylon and the felt overcoat from recycled plastic bottles — which means the stretch reprocessed nylon canvas and Sorona insulation in this coat are part of a deliberate brand-wide commitment to reducing virgin petroleum use, not an isolated capsule.
How Sorona insulation performs in a coat
- The fiber allows moisture vapor to escape rather than building up inside, actively regulating body temperature and preventing that sauna‑like microclimate that makes many synthetic puffers feel clammy the moment you step indoors or climb a set of stairs.
- Repeated machine washes won't collapse the insulation — the Sorona fiber’s helical crimp holds its loft cycle after cycle, so the coat’s puff and warmth don’t degrade over seasons of wear.
- Sorona Aura fiber is about 37% plant‑based, derived from renewable feedstocks, which cuts the fossil fuel dependency of the insulation by roughly a third compared to fully petroleum‑based polyfill — a measurable sustainability gain without sacrificing thermal efficiency.
How it compares to other eco-friendly puffers under $200
- All pocket entries — both the side-seam slits and the buttoned patch pockets — are lined with soft polar fleece, delivering immediate hand warmth and a tactile luxury that matches the comfort-focused details found on higher-end winter parkas without adding weight.
- The rib-knit mock neck and cuffs function as built-in draft seals that trap warmth without the bulk of a conventional collar or internal cuff, a finish more typical of heritage-inspired cold-weather pieces than the simple elastic-bound openings found on many synthetic eco-puffers.
- While much of the affordable eco-puffer market has leaned into cropped silhouettes — Quince's Cropped Down Puffer and Aritzia's Super Puff Shorty being key examples — this coat's long, straight cut extends to the hip, offering more lower-body protection for cold commutes and longer walks in freezing conditions.
- At $195 CAD (~$145 USD), the Contemporaine costs roughly double the Quince Featherless Puffer Zip Jacket ($70 USD), but that premium buys biosourced insulation, a reprocessed nylon canvas shell, and rib-knit detailing — moving up a tier in eco-material ambition and finishing touches.
- The shell is cut from stretch reprocessed nylon canvas rather than the recycled polyester that dominates the budget eco space (e.g., Quince's Featherless Puffer Zip Jacket); nylon generally provides higher abrasion resistance and tensile strength, translating to better long-term durability for a mid-length daily commuter coat.
- The insulation blends standard polyester with biosourced Sorona™ polyester — derived partly from renewable plant-based materials — putting it a step beyond the purely recycled PET fills used in entry-level eco-puffers like Quince's Comfortemp®, because it cuts petrochemical dependence while maintaining lightweight warmth.

Q&A
1 answered- How does this coat fit? Is it true to size, oversized, or fitted?
- This coat has a long, straight cut, so it fits true to size with a relaxed silhouette — not oversized, but also not fitted. The rib-knit cuffs and mock neck add gentle shaping at the neck and wrists.
