Finding a functional solution during months of transitional weather doesn't have to mean sacrificing your style. But it's certainly not an easy feat when temperatures can swing from shiver-inducing cold to sweat-worthy hot in a short period of time. That's where WanderweightTM ultralight packable down shines. When life takes you on the go, you don't want to find yourself with a handful of layers and the annoyance to figuring out the right balance. The WanderweightTM collection of vests and coats come in a wide array of colors and just-right lengths made to fit you perfectly, whatever the weather brings. WanderweightTM works by creating warmth without weight, so carrying your jacket or vest never feels like a burden. Plus, when space is tight, the ingenious design allows it to pack into its own pocket, giving you a portable pouch that is ready to go everywhere.
Here are some options for perfectly packable pieces that are designed to carry with you everywhere.
For days when the errand list just keeps growing, a WanderweightTM down vest is your new best friend. Your core will stay protected from chills, but leaving your arms exposed—and even unzipping the vest when temperatures rise fast—means you'll avoid overheating when you're in and out of places. From the teeth-chattering section of the grocery store to the car that's been warming in the sun, the vest will be your best bet.
With options from hooded to short versus long, you have a variety of styles for what you need. If the day is looking cloudy or winds are high, try the hooded WanderweightTM down jacket to keep your ears and hairstyle protected. Planning a trip to the coast? The water resistant fabric will combat mist, and the longer version can buffer you from damp conditions when you want to take a seat. Try the shorter WanderweightTM ultralight jacket without a hood when you anticipate a higher level of activity. You can unzip the jacket for more cooling power, or you can zip it right to the chin if the chill sets in later in the day. It's light enough to stow in your work bag while taking up virtually no space, and easy enough to pop out for your commute home when the midday temperatures have started to fall.
A WanderweightTM coat with added length is a great choice when you're not completely sure what your day holds. The extra coverage – above the knee or below the knee maxi – gives you added warmth in case conditions change quickly. The feminine detailing and flattering quilting create a stylish look that doesn't sacrifice fashion for utility. Because these WanderweightTM down coats are longer, you'll also be able to wear them at the height of the season's change too, when frigid temperatures or icy conditions reach their peak. Because WanderweightTM provides incredible warmth while staying feather-light, you can also count on not stressing over having to lug a heavy, bulky coat through busy spaces. From the bus to a jam-packed event room, it folds down into a pouch the size of a wristlet to keep you from dealing with pesky coat checks.
If fashion is your ultimate goal and you want to wander away from WanderweightTM down, consider the barn coat, which is a classic way to sport a rugged edge and its reversibility gives you twice the cute colors and patterns to wear. Or, opt for one of the many anti-static, anti-pill fleece layers for cozy warmth with mountain chic style.
When winter starts to bring its worst, there are even more styles with heftier warming power from down puffer jackets, which are ultra toasty if you're out in serious conditions. Or, if rain is a possibility for the day, consider an insulated rain jacket, or a 3-in-1 style for options when the forecast is uncertain.
