The North Face Flash Jacket - Men's
So much lighter than my last down coat!

I was surprised by how light this jacket was... and a little skeptical that it would keep me warm enough. Well, we've had a warm winter, so it hasn't been tested severely, but so far, it's great. Very light, and quite snug.
My only concern is that the fabric seems very thin. I'm pretty worried that it could tear too easily, if it ever gets caught (on a tree branch or a car door, etc.).
And of course, feathers are escaping. But that's par for the course with down.
