What reviewers say

Questions and answers

Is the Cirruslite warm enough for winter?

It works as a midlayer in winter and as an outer layer in cool fall or spring weather. On its own in freezing temperatures it is not enough; pair it with a shell or a heavier coat.

How does it compare with Eddie Bauer's heavier down jackets?

It is lighter and thinner than the brand's parkas and expedition jackets. Choose it for layering and travel; choose the heavier jackets for standing around in real cold.

Does it run true to size?

Many owners say it runs small and recommend sizing up, especially if you plan to layer a sweater underneath.

Does it have a hood?

The standard Cirruslite jacket has no hood. Eddie Bauer also sells hooded versions of the Cirruslite line if you want one.

Can it get wet?

The shell has a water-repellent finish that handles light rain and snow. In steady rain, wear a waterproof shell over it so the down stays dry and keeps its loft.

What is in the box?

The jacket itself, which packs into one of its own hand pockets. No stuff sack or extra accessories are included.
