Help!!!! My son will be going to college in New Hampshire this fall. We are from the south and have no idea what types of jackets he will need to have for walking around the campus this winter. He doesn't own a coat since sweat shirts and light jackets are all that is needed for the few cold days. We don't know what to buy. What do you recommend for him? I know he will receive several heavy hooded sweat shirts from his coaches, but beyond that we have no clue.

This might be a little late, but for anyone else who has the same question: For an all-around coat I would look at a 3-in-1 jacket, with a waterproof shell and a fleece liner that zips inside it, either of which can be worn separately. If you don't have a winter coat, this would offer the most versatility. It won't be quite as warm as a down jacket, but if a 3-in-1 can get me through South Dakota winters I'm sure it can handle New Hampshire.

You might want to look at a synthetic insulated jacket. They often have a DWR coating or are waterproof. I have an Outdoor research chaos jacket that I've worn in light rain in February. MH also makes insulated jackets that are waterproof.

This jacket is NOT too warm for a winter in New Hampshire! This will work, will be lightweight, and he won't even know he's wearing a warm jacket. Get it.
