I love the versatility of this jacket. I was going to Canada and was going from a warmer climate to one that was not so warm and did not want to wear my heavier coat on the airplane. This was perfect because it was light and folded up small and fit in my carry on so when I got to the colder climate it was easy to retrieve. I ended up wearing it the entire time I was in Canada as it was light but kept me very warm and never did wear my heavier coat.
