Patagonia has been leading the puffy shirt, sweater and jacket charge for quite a while. High thermal performance and super light weight make them a clear choice for hiking, skiing or keeping you toasty on your trip to the coffee shop. Just released is an ultralight version with 800-fill down that keeps their pack-to-nothing compressibility. The sewn-through construction, tight channel pattern and just the right amount of down increase versatility for use in more moderate temperatures. Wear it over a base layer or throw a shell over the top and you’ve got a BTU generator.

Use as a base layer, or as your only layer. The hybrid design has this jacket keeping you warm without the bulk. Extra insulation is sewn into the front panels & Marmot’s Polartec material completes the rest. The athletic fit keeps it close to your body – ideal when freedom of movement is crucial. Perfect for those sun-shiny afternoon days on the slopes.
