Looking for a light weight jacket that will keep me warm as I walk to and from work and around campus on cold winter days. I live in a place thats pretty snowy, and moist in the winter (near Lake Ontario).

Daneil. If you want to go with a jacket that is synthetic and not down the Compressor would be a great choice. If you want to go with a little bit warmer jacket... check out the Alcove Jacket from Mountain Hardwear as well. The Compressor has 120grams of Primaloft for insulation. The Alcove has 200grams... so it will be a little warmer but also heavier. If you want to keep it light... look no further than the Compressor. Hope this info helps!
