Patagonia Womens Down Sweater Jacket

This jacket is just about the lightest weight one you’ll find – it only weighs 11.3oz. Patagonia calls this jacket a “sweater”, mainly because it can easily be layered below another down jacket, such as the Marmot Venus Down Jacket .

My friend Donna bought one of these a couple of years ago when they first came out, and she wore it everywhere – summer camping trips, backpacking trips, winter snowshoeing trips, desert camping (it gets cold at night!), and even to the grocery store. Now that I have my own I also where mine just about everywhere, and I find it is just the right warmth for summer nights in the mountains. In the winter, I just slip on a rain jacket on top to cut out the wind, or a bulkier down jacket for added warmth.

As far as fit, I’ve found that Patagonia runs a little larger than other brands. I end up buying my usual size, knowing that I’ll be able to wear layers underneath.

You can get the down sweater in 10 different colors at Patagonia .
