Morphology
puffer + jacket
The meaning ‘a jacket that is puffy because it is filled with insulation’ is directly compositional: puffer (from puff/puffy = swollen or filled) + jacket. Even if 'puffer' as a lexical item is less frequent, the logic 'a jacket that is puffy' is transparent and predictable to a B1 learner who knows the constituent meanings.
Etymology
Puffer jacket comes from puffer, from the verb 'puff', which means to puff up. The jacket is filled with down or padding so its stitched sections look puffy, and that's why puffer jacket means a warm coat with puffy sections that keep you warm.
