Few puffies earn a reputation, and this one has been quietly earning its since 2015. PrimaLoft® Gold insulation does the heavy lifting, trapping serious warmth in a midweight build that never feels like a sleeping bag. The water-resistant polyester rip-stop shell shrugs off wet weather, and heavy-duty cotton-nylon shoulder patches take the abuse from pack straps and shoulder bags. Wear it solo when the air turns sharp, or slide it under a shell once the temperature really drops. A 3" stand-up collar seals out drafts, knitted ribbed cuffs hold the heat in, and zippered drop-in hand warmer pockets keep your fingers toasty, with a zippered inside chest pocket for a phone or wallet. When the trip is over, the whole jacket packs down into its own built-in stuff sack. Regular fit.
