Layering over a puffer jacket
Armada designed this non-insulated 3-ply shell with a loose fit meant to go over a puffer jacket. The windproof, waterproof hard shell with a durable water-repellent treatment adds an outer barrier on top of your insulation, keeping the puffer underneath doing the warming. Per the merchant, the loose fit is intended to make layering over a puffer work well.[1]
