I bought this for a year of bucket list travel adventures after reading an interview with Anthony Bourdain that advises doing away with a travel pillow and using a packable down jacket in its carrying case. This jacket fit the bill! The blue is a unique color and this jacket was perfect for hiking Machu Picchu and the Reine Falls. Since my travel adventures often involve vastly different temperatures throughout the trip, this is so great to pack and easy to carry. The pockets are big and have zippers which also saved me a few times in certain cities where the pick pockets were out. When home, I find this to be the perfect jacket for dog walking and at $27, it was a total steal.
