Alta Puffer-takki

The waterproof shell actually held up in a downpour, and the puffer fill stayed dry and warm the whole time. I was worried the silhouette would feel bulky but it's surprisingly refined for how much warmth it traps.

Wore this through a wet, windy weekend and stayed completely dry — the waterproof shell actually holds up. The chambray lining is a nice touch, way softer against my neck than the scratchy nylon on my old jacket.

The fit is genuinely flattering for a puffer — the clean lines keep it from ballooning out like most winter jackets I've owned. I’ve worn it through sleet and wind, and the waterproofing hasn’t let a drop through while staying surprisingly quiet for such a warm layer.
