Good jacket

This jacket is ideal for when you don't want to get a thin down jacket because you're afraid it will get a little wet and the down will be useless. I use this jacket around town on chilly evenings when it's not raining hard and I love it. I also take it when I go mountain biking and it's raining as it doesn't matter what you do - your mid layer will get damp in places. As a backpacking warmup jacket (for camp, not actually backpacking) I recommend down instead purely because a slightly lighter down jacket (800 fill or more) will be significantly warmer than this jacket. Check out the Patagonia Down Sweater (not "Jacket") for the ultimate in lightweight, compressible, make-me-warm technology.
