With an almost perfect five-star rating, the M&S Collection Recycled Thermowarmth Hooded Puffer Jacket has received numerous glowing reviews. Some shoppers like it so much that they've purchased it in various different colours, reports the Manchester Evening News.

Marks and Spencer shoppers praised the Hooded Puffer Jacket. One delighted customer commented: "Really pleased with this jacket - I brought the chocolates brown colour. I was worried it might be too long in arms as I'm petite but no the size 10 was perfect."

Another added: "I'm really pleased with this jacket ideal for autumn/winter wear, especially suitable as a short car coat." A third enthusiastic shopper remarked: "Exactly what I've been looking for in a jacket. Right length, handy hood, light yet warm with warm feel pockets too," while a fourth explained: "Really pleased - good fit, nice and warm and didn't realise hood is detachable which is a bonus."

Yet another customer shared their experience: "I bought this coat in the chocolate brown colour which is the first time I've ever bought a brown coat. Seeing it in store just stood out to be as beautiful. Sadly it didn't fit and had to buy the bigger size online but I loved it so much I bought a second one in the same colour. One for going to work and such and one for going out. It keeps you so warm, the pockets are beautifully lined. I hadn't realised but you can take the hood off with a zip. Honestly it's a gorgeous coat."

The praise continued, with another review stating: "This is a lovely jacket, colourful, cosy,and comfortable to wear. I chose the red to brighten up winter,and l think l have made a good choice. Good fit,like detachable hood,".

Another M&S fan commented: "Great warm jacket that makes you feel snug. Almost too warm at times. Sleeves might be a bit short for some."

While another customer shared: "This jacket is perfect for autumn walks on chilly days as it is really warm and showerproof, the fit is true to size, I got the blue one."

However, a shopper who wasn't entirely convinced by the coat remarked: "Sadly not for me . I was hoping for shorter and wider but ended up looking a bit plump in a lovely jacket that sat at the wrong place on me completely. It was a lovely jacket just not for me." Another said: "Nice warm jacket. The lining seemed to pull on the right hand side. Ive given the lining a bit of a pull and hopefully released the tension. I like the warm fleece lined pockets."
