The Lightweight Short Down Jacket answers the problem most winter coats create: warmth that is too bulky to wear indoors or under anything else. Filled with 100% white duck down at 100g to 150g depending on size, it weighs roughly 0.4kg and packs down small, while still delivering the insulation a down fill is bought for.
The cut is short and regular, ending at the hip rather than the thigh, which keeps it out of the way when you are driving, cycling or moving between buildings. A full-length zipper closes it, and there is no hood, which is the point: it layers cleanly under a parka or over a jumper without a hood bunching at the neck. Pockets are built in, and the broadcloth shell blocks wind while staying quiet and soft.
Sizes run S through 4XL and are keyed to body weight rather than chest measurement, from S at 45 to 55kg up to 4XL at 90 to 100kg. Check the chart below before ordering. Down loses loft if it is stored compressed: hang it in the off-season, and have it professionally cleaned rather than machine washed.
