There’s a jacket in this world for almost every type of weather. Waterproof jackets outsmart the rain, down jackets block the cold and bomber jackets just look good. In recent years, I’ve fallen in love with packaway jackets for their lightweight insulation and weatherproofing that’s perfect in cool weather. The materials are heavy enough to keep me warm but there’s not the same bulk as a heavy parka. If the sun comes out and things heat up, the jacket’s construction packs into a pocket or backpack for easy transport. One of my all-time favorites, the PrimaLoft Packaway Hooded Jacket from L.L.Bean, just so happens to be on sale in time for fall.
The secret behind this jacket’s success is the PrimaLoft Gold insulation. It’s capable of maintaining warmth down to 35 degrees but it’s breathable too, which prevents overheating on days when it’s cold but the sun is out. The fabric is also wind- and water-resistant to combat the quirks of fall, and a series of zippered pockets store everyday essentials. Best of all, the jacket’s lightweight design packs into its own pocket, so you’ll always have the extra layer if need be. Pick up the only jacket you’ll need for the upcoming season while it’s just over 20% off in four colors.
