💢💢 Top 5 Down Jackets for Women of 2021 💢💢

👉 #1: Top Overall Down Jacket For Women: Arc’teryx Cerium LT

[ Ссылка ]

Designed to be lightweight, this jacket lacks a ton of frills but excels at keeping you warm — without weighing you down. This jacket features 850 fill power down that is highly compressible, making it simple to pack and even wear over a harness, if that’s your jam. Cinches on the hood and hem ensure you stay toasty, even when the breeze picks up.

What I like most about this jacket is the integrated stuff sack, a feature I always appreciate when packing for a cold weather trip.

👉 #2: Best Choice For You Ladies On A Budget: REI Co-op 650 2.0

[ Ссылка ]

REI has been building a brand for the average adventurer for decades which has resulted in the creation of a line-up of high-quality, affordable products — and the 650 2.0 down jacket is no exception. The 2.0 features 650 fill power down, a lightweight packable size, and an unbelievable $100 price tag.

What I like most about the 650 2.0 is that it stuffs easily into its own pocket for packing. Compressibility is very important to me — especially on longer trips.

What I don’t care for about this jacket is the absence of a hood, which would make for additional protection from the elements.

👉 #3: Best Lightweight Pick: Mountain Hardware Ghost Whisperer 2

[ Ссылка ]

Weighing in at only 8 ounces, this jacket is one of the lightest on the market — and it will still keep you warm enough on all but the very coldest of adventures. The high quality 800 fill down and ultra-light shell material set this jacket apart from others in its class. Mountain Hardware kept the features to a minimum and included just two standard hand pockets, a hem cinch, and tailored cuffs.

What I like most about this down jacket is how easily it layers with a shell or rain jacket.

What I don’t care for about this jacket is the lack of a hood cinch, which would really help keep the warmth in.

👉 #4: Best For Adventuring In Bad Weather: Arc'teryx Cerium SV Hoody

[ Ссылка ]

Arc’teryx designed this down jacket with the serious winter loving adventurer in mind. Every feature is designed to add degrees of warmth — although it’s the thoughtfully designed StormHood that really helps it stand out from others in its class. In addition, the brand integrated synthetic down in to high moisture areas, like the armpits and shoulders.

What I like most about the SV Hoody is the innovative down contour baffling that optimizes warmth while requiring the use of less material.

What I don’t care about this jacket is how heavy it is, but it’s a necessary evil if you’re looking to carry this kind of warmth with you.

👉 #5: Best For Town To Trailhead Use: Patagonia Down Sweater Hoodie

[ Ссылка ]

Crafted from ethically traced down and 100% recycled polyester, this jacket is by far the most sustainable of our picks on this list. Patagonia integrated heavy duty polyester, which adds a bit of weight, but makes this jacket nearly indestructible in terms of down jacket alternatives. However, thanks to the high quality down and thoughtful baffle design this jacket still manages to pack down small — despite the thick material.

What I like about this the Down Sweater is the integrated chest pocket which serves to keep my phone warm and handy for photos.

What I don’t care for is that although it’s a great overall jacket, it doesn’t really excel in any one particular area.
