The Homeschool Further Forward Puffy is a nice bit of layering at a very reasonable price. It’s a light to mid-level puffy that provides mid-level warmth and top-level breathability.  This is a nice improvement on the previous year’s version and it fits a lot better. It’s not super light and packable but it’s not bulky by any means either. What separates this from the other puffy jackets out there is its exceptional breathability.

Turn On’s: Size L Jackets that fit well around my chest, size M pants that fit well around my thighs so I can get in and out of my pockets, open roads, Surfy Powder Turns, Riding with Friends, new gear and especially my super-hot super smart super funny wife.
Turn Off’s: Size L Jackets that don’t fit well around my chest, super tight Size M Pants that I can’t get up over my thighs, traffic and people who can’t park inside the lines.

I run warm so this will be a jacket I will use to layer up when it’s really cold.  I’ve also already worn this a lot around town and love it’s fit and look. The missing hood isn’t that missed as I pretty much only wear this on dry days or as a layer underneath a very waterproof jacket like the Universe. Also, there aren’t pit zips but other than that this puffy works really well as a stand alone or 2 layer up when it’s really cold.
