I love puffers and thick fur coats as much as the next person, but as someone who loves to layer, I often end up overheating while wearing a heavier coat, or freezing back up when I take it off. Despite having had to commute to New York and brave the Tri-State cold, I like to play around with layers rather than having one heavy coat, so I can either take a layer or two off or on depending on my comfort level for the given time and place.
