Across Shaun Tomson's extensive travels over the past several months, one thing has become abundantly clear: he loves his Warner Packable Puffer.
Seen above on the beach in New Hampshire following an evening at Cinnamon Rainbows in October, Shaun relied on his favorite jacket to stay comfortable during his vital work with the Surfrider Foundation. His visit was part of a close collaboration with the organization’s regional chapter, proving that even on the colder parts of the East Coast, the right gear makes the difference.
Often cited as the most travel-friendly piece in the Instinct Surf line, the Warner Packable Puffer compresses into its own pocket for dual-purpose use. It doubles as a travel pillow or—for those of us spending too many hours in transit without laying flat in business class—a lower back / lumbar cushion for notoriously uncomfortable airplane seats.
Instinct Surf Creative Lead, Troy Kingman, describes the Warner’s appeal:
"It’s super cozy, incredibly lightweight, and designed with all the styling details needed to keep you warm whether you’re surf checking, camping, or just adventure seeking."
With meticulous attention paid to every stitch, Troy notes a subtle nod to our surfing roots: "One of my favorite details about this jacket is the quilted pattern; the high and low lines are designed to mimic the rhythm of a high and low tide."
Since December, Troy’s hometown of Encinitas, California, has enjoyed a summer-like run of incredible weather—clear skies, warm temps, and dreamy ocean conditions. But winter has finally arrived with the first rainstorm of the season. Thankfully, that means snow in the nearby mountains and across Utah and Colorado, making the Warner Packable Puffer our most essential layer for our weeks ahead in the ocean and outdoors.
