It’s surprisingly hard to find a versatile jacket that works in both the city and the mountains for cold weather. And it’s even harder to find a down jacket that won’t be ruined in a downpour — harder yet to find one with a hood.
Combine all of those elements, and you’re likely to search high and low for a long time, only to be frustrated that this does not exist.
One of the lone exceptions to that rule is Outdoor Research’s Floodlight Jacket, an outstanding piece of gear that magically has all of the above elements. The down jacket clocks in at 800 fill, making it warm while also packing down small and staying lightweight. The breathable fabric helps you keep from sweating in all but the most intense exercise. And it effectively blocks wind and rain from tearing through the garment and making you miserable.
The jacket sports a trim fit, so it’s actually fairly flattering despite its puffy down nature. And the color selection is lovely. Most women’s garments come in pink and purple; the Floodlight offers light green, red and black.
The jacket offers deep interior pockets for electronics that need to be kept safe and a sturdy brim to keep water off your face. Cuff closures and a drawcord hem help further keep the jacket close to your body for warmth and dryness.
No longer do you need to invest in multiple garments to enjoy a chilly, damp day outdoors. This jacket is all you’ll ever need. Learn more at outdoorresearch.com.
