Buying Guide

Fit and layering

Choose a jacket that allows room for base and mid-layers without being overly bulky; a trim fit improves mobility on trails

Insulation and warmth

Assess fill type and weight for expected temperatures—lightweight puffers work for three-season use, while heavier insulation is better for cold camps

Hood and collar design

A hooded design adds wind and heat protection at camp; look for adjustable hoods and high collars for added shelter

Packability and weight

If you backpack, prioritize compressible jackets that pack small and have a favorable warmth-to-weight ratio

Durability and fabric

Look for durable outer fabrics with water-resistant finishes to stand up to brush, light rain, and frequent use
