This quilted 800-fill goose-down jacket is a stylish layering piece that provides serious warmth. Weighing in at just 9.9 ounces, the Nitrous Jacket was perfect for chilly days. As the temperature dropped, I started layering it under a shell. Mountain Hardwear gear is known for its thoughtful detailing. Particularly appreciated (by me) are the zippered side pockets, deep internal pocket, and chamois-lined zipper protector, which prevents cold-zipper-to-the-neck shock syndrome. MSRP $220.
