By Ranked #1360 - Men's Jackets August 25, 2009

I'm looking for a lightweight insulated jacket to use backpacking. I've been looking at lightweight compressible down and synthetic down jackets from Patagonia, Mountain Hardware, Marmot, etc. However, I'd prefer to have better style than the typical "outdoor performance" look.

Do you think this would perform well camping and backpacking?
Does it compress pretty well?
People say the cut is wide. I'm 5'8" 165lbs - medium build. I also have long arms. I'd like it to fit snugly.
Thanks!
