This is the jacket that lives in the bottom of the pack until you stop. If you need to wear insulation while walking, pick a fleece or an active synthetic. The Alpine cut should fit over a shirt and under a shell. Hoods are worth the grams at rest.

Who should buy it. Three-season hikers who stop and get cold.

Best for. A camp puffy that still stuffs small

Standout limitation. Down, so keep it dry
