puffer jacket/coat
Explanation:
also spelt puffa

If this is aimed at a youngish, or trendy market this is the commonly used term - 'quilted' jackets to my mind are generally thinner and also make me think of the more conservative styles used by the equestrian fraternity. As they also talk about 'parkas' I would imagine that it is more the younger market you are dealing with.
