Light Down Jacket – the Outdoor Enthusiast’s All-Round Garment!

A light down jacket—often affectionately called a “light downie”—provides better insulation than fleece and packs down extremely small. It also offers better wind protection, making it ideal as a general-purpose jacket for cooling autumn days. For many outdoor enthusiasts, light down jackets have practically replaced thick fleece jackets altogether.

Use It as an Outer Layer, Break Jacket, or Warm Midlayer

A light down jacket works well as a break jacket in cool conditions and can be worn during movement in slightly colder weather. Since it packs into its own pocket or otherwise compresses into a small space, it’s easy to bring along when needed. In some situations, it can be worn as a midlayer—depending on conditions, it’s worth trying whether it feels better as an outer layer or under a shell jacket.

Down Remains an Unbeatable Material

Down’s insulation-to-weight ratio is still among the best of all materials. It also compresses into a remarkably small space. In many modern down jackets, the down filling is treated to be water-repellent, reducing clumping and loss of loft in damp conditions.

Responsible Choices

Our product team has selected only jackets made with ethically sourced, certified down. Down is also recyclable, and at the end of the product’s life cycle, it is biodegradable waste.
