Packable jacket
Fit: True to size
I bought this for a trip to Alaska in June. For chilly days it was a useful layer. I loved that it packs away easily in its own pocket. Vey helpful for travel and hiking. Runs big.

I really like this jacket. It is super light yet has the right amount of fluff to still be warm. It is still light enough to wear under my waxed cotton jacket when it is super cold
