Is the Wanderweight warm enough for winter?

It works as a mid-layer or a standalone jacket in mild cold. For freezing temperatures, wear it under a shell or choose a heavier down jacket.

Does it really pack into its own pocket?

Yes. The jacket stuffs into one of its pockets and compresses to a small bundle for a bag or carry-on.

The Wanderweight has a roomier, more casual fit and an inner pocket. The Patagonia has a tougher shell and a trimmer cut at a higher price.

The water-repellent nylon handles drizzle and snow. It is not waterproof, so heavy rain will soak through and flatten the down.

Use a down-specific detergent on a gentle cycle, then tumble dry low with dryer balls to restore loft. Avoid fabric softener.

It is offered in women's sizes from small through XXL, including plus sizes, in a range of colors.
