The side snaps everyone talks about

Finally, a long vest you can actually sit down in.

A woman sitting into her car in the auvora Long Puffer Vest, the short side slit open at her thigh

Snaps down both sides open from the hem, so it never squeezes your hips or rides up when you sit. Light enough to forget it's on. Warm enough for October to March.

Here's the catch with every long coat.

Zip it up and it looks great. Then you sit down.

In the car, it bunches in your lap and pulls across your hips. At the table, it rides up behind you. On a bench, you're perched on a stiff tube of fabric.

So you unzip it. And now the cold gets in the front.

Long is warm. But long and zipped usually means you can't sit in it.

This one fixes that with a row of snaps on each side.

How the side snaps work

Both sides of the vest open from the hem up toward your hips. The zipper stays up. Only the sides open.

The side of the vest with the snaps closed while standing

Snapped shut. For the parking lot, the dog walk, the wind. It closes all the way around and covers your backside.

The side of the vest with the snaps open while sitting on a chair

Open. For sitting. The car, the table, the waiting room. The front stays zipped and warm. The sides give your hips room.

The vest with only the bottom snaps open while climbing steps

Half open. Undo only the bottom snaps. Room to take big steps and climb stairs without it pulling.

You never unzip. You never take it off. You open the sides.

Here's where you'll feel the difference.

Where you'll notice it

A woman buckling her seatbelt in the vest, the side snaps at her hip

Getting into the car. Open the sides, sit, buckle up. Nothing bunches in your lap. Nothing pulls under the seatbelt.

A woman at a cafe table in the vest, zipped up, holding a coffee

At the table. Lunch, coffee, the doctor's waiting room. Sit down zipped up and stay warm. It doesn't ride up behind you.

A woman on a park bench in the vest, the hem lying over her lap

On a bench. The park, the bleachers, the bus stop. The hem lies over your lap instead of pulling tight.

A woman walking down the street in the vest with a crossbody bag

With a bag on your shoulder. It's light and slim, so a crossbody strap sits on top without feeling like you're wearing two coats.

"The snaps at the sides on bottom allow for comfortable sitting and movement."

Thin. Slim. Still toasty.

Most long puffers are stiff. They stand away from your body and fight you every time you bend.

This one is thin, with slim quilting. It's light enough that you forget it's on, so it moves when you move.

Over a sweater, it's your layer from the first cold morning in October right through March. When it drops below freezing, wear it under your coat for a warm middle without a second set of sleeves.

"Not too bulky and soft and love the side snaps!"

Quick questions

Do the snaps open on their own?

They're regular snaps. Press to close, tug to open. If anything on your vest fails, write to us. You're covered by our 30-day guarantee.

Does the wind get in with the sides open?

Open is for sitting. Snap them shut when you're walking and the vest closes all the way around.

Can I just keep them closed?

Yes. Snapped shut, it's a long vest that covers your backside. Open them when you sit.

How do I wash it?

Machine wash cold, tumble dry low.

Zip it up. Sit down. Stay warm.

Think about how often you sit down on a cold day. The car. The table. The waiting room. The bench.

This is the long vest that lets you do it all without unzipping.

It ships in 1 to 2 business days. XS to 3X. 14 colors. If the size is off, the exchange is free. And if it isn't the one you reach for, send it back within 30 days.

  • Exactly what I was looking for

    "I wanted something warm enough for chilly mornings but not as heavy as a full winter coat, and this has been perfect. The longer length gives great coverage, especially when I’m wearing leggings, and the side snaps make it much easier to sit in the car or move around."

    - Danielle Robertson

  • Lightweight but still keeps me warm

    "I was pleasantly surprised by how warm this feels without being bulky. It is easy to throw over a sweatshirt or long sleeve shirt, and it does not make me feel restricted when I am out running errands. The fit has enough room for layering, but it still looks flattering and put together. I have already worn it several times this week."

    - Megan Lehrans

  • So easy to style

    "This works with almost everything in my closet. I have worn it with jeans and boots, leggings and sneakers, and even over a matching lounge set. The longer cut makes a basic outfit look more polished, and the hood is a nice extra when the weather changes. I ordered my usual size and had plenty of room underneath."

    - Alyssa K

  • Practical details actually matter

    "The pockets are a great size, the zipper feels smooth, and the side snaps make a bigger difference than I expected. I can wear it comfortably in the car, while walking, or when I need to keep moving throughout the day. It is warm without feeling stiff or overly puffy. I would absolutely get another color."

    - Lauren Mitchell

  • Great everyday outer layer

    "This has been ideal for school drop-off, walks, travel days, and quick trips out of the house. It gives the coverage of a longer coat but feels much lighter and easier to wear. The fit is comfortable, the fabric feels nice, and the overall style is simple enough to wear with anything. Definitely one of my favorite cold-weather purchases."

    - Brianna Sanders

      Frequently Asked Questions

      Because the coat is too much most of the day. Too hot in the car, too hot indoors, so it lives on the passenger seat. This keeps your core warm and your arms free, and it stays on from pickup to the game to the walk home. Once it's cold enough for a coat, it goes under it.

      A regular vest stops at your hip, so your legs are cold and nothing is covered over leggings. This one runs mid-thigh to just above the knee. Covered, warm, and it still looks like you tried.

      No. Wash cold, tumble low, and the fill comes back even every time. Fold it into a bag for the car or the game and it's ready the moment you shake it out.

      Yes. Deep enough for your phone and your hand at the same time, and warm enough that you'll skip the gloves on most days.

      Yes, order your usual size for the look in the photos. Size down if you want it tighter. Free exchanges if you want to swap.
