Slimmer Cut Winter Puffers/Parkas?

I'm finding that a lot of winter jackets/parkas are quite bulky. I am a pretty skinny guy and even with a few layers a lot of the stuff I've tried is quite loose and isn't very effective as a result. Eddie Bauer and Marmot are the ones I've tried so far.

slim puffer sounds like an oxymoron, how is a jacket gonna be puffy and slim you can wear big parkas as a skinny guy, or even over a slim/skinny outfit.

Correct, but if there's so much space in the parka that it isn't close to my body so that it traps heat, kinda defeats the purpose a little bit

i'm not sure it works like that how are you layering underneath?

I have a Patagonia puffer jacket (not a parka) that’s quite slim. I don’t like it very much

you prob can use a needle to poke the puff to let the air out, it gonna make the jacket very slim i promise.

Alpha Industries slim fit parka are pretty warm but also reasonably slim-fitted (for a parka). I might try there.
