Balenciaga Puffer Jacket: Don't Believe The Hype

Complex's weekly series Don't Believe the Hype takes a look at what's hot and what's just hot air. Sneakers, clothes, tech, food-nothing is safe. With the country in the grips of another brutal winter, it goes without saying that jackets are what’s on fire right now in fashion. And one of the most hyped new coats this year is by Balenciaga and retailing for $2,000. But does it live up to the price tag if you can get a similar jacket for way less? Al puts Complex staffers to the test - and in the cold - to find out the answer in this episode of Don’t Believe The Hype.

[@stikkybudz42]

Yo Zach why?

[@Zach_Boba]

Yoda Natasha prefers the other guy over Speedy.

[@kermakkonen]

I have the C-shape puffer and it's been an absolutely wonderful jacket. Not saying it's necessarily worth the pretty steep price tag but hey, we only live once and money is meant to be spent on the things you love, right? 🙂

3:10 shooters shoot

[@fleetwoodray]

Will continue to stick with my extreme cold weather shearling lamb coat my mom got me when I was in high school in 79. It's as it was when I took it off the store rack in Houston before heading to the great north. Always faithful.

[@ek1171]

3:18 lowkey Natasha not feeling the joke

[@internetcomment4440]

Ek1 don’t blow your load

[@ek1171]

[@mrbolo9217]

LeBeautiful apart from Canada goose, nobis, pyrenex and many more but for the price nah nothing beats nuptse

[@bt7033]

True, TNF Nuptse 700 is easily the best jacket I own

[@gemstar9523]

Don’t sleep on the Marmot Guides Down ! But the Nupste is dope.

[@jacobrivera6165]

[@IlIlDannyIlIl]

Joe la puma looks a little different in this video

[@samuel2pac72]

give me the Balenciaga jacket, turn my life around

[@xed5286]

Lmao of course the balenciaga jacket was colder. There's a bigger pocket for cold air to come into the jacket which will make it drastically colder than the "better fit for him" jacket.

[@t-strike9823]

honestly, who buys this balenciaga jacket to keep you warm cmon, it's more a fashion piece than a "useful clothe".

[@AntonSlizzardhands]

Bubble coats are very 90's, but I love the way they look. Anyway, what's the name of the sweatshirt that the a-rab cat is wearing?

[@miketholen6208]

Do a Balenciaga Mode hoodie -- would love to know how different the plain hoodies with 'Balenciaga Mode' on them could be.

[@defyingtheoddz938]

Moncler’s new competition: the Balenciaga puffer jacket.
Once you wear the puffer jacket, you’ll be looking like the Michelin tire dude. Puffer jackets are next level of life jackets. It can help you float lol.

[@user-zc9zt2vl5s]

What size is that Balenciaga c-shape puffer jacket?

[@kathyblackman4314]

Can we know the name of the jacket you tested the $2,000.00 one against?! Please?!

[@dylanb3122]

[@DacontiStrYKR]

most females prefer it coz of the brand name. why not let people try without looking at the brand name & judge it based on comfort and overall aesthetic still not knowing the brand only to let them know what it is when the verdict is made

[@Naekotine]

Gotta use Natty to get me to click

[@sahibsubtle]
