This jacket is not as boxy as most packable down jackets, and a prettier color than I'd thought it would be from the picture. It actually fits in a fitted manner, and squishes down itsy-bitsy into one of its pockets. It is very, very warm but does not halt the wind; will go nicely under a windbreaker or rainjacket for warm wind and water proof coziness. I easily washed it by hand and continue to wear it though the backpacking trip has ended. It is cute with jeans.
