great lightweight "sweater" alternative

Ranked #1181 - Men's Synthetic Insulation Jackets

I don't go out without it--It's so much lighter than my previous go-to fleece midlayer/light outer layer. It's definitely a no-frills jacket--it's obvious that MontBell made design choices based on WEIGHT and not FEATURES. The pockets don't zip and aren't lined, the elastic wrist openings are not adjustable, but I don't care. It's totally cozy and it's always available because I can't make any excuse not to carry it. I bet it would really get destroyed if you got too close to a campfire, though. I don't do fires when I backpack, so I'm not concerned with that, but you might factor that in.
