Light Down Jacket
A light down jacket combines the warmth of a down jacket with the lightweight comfort of a thinner jacket. Typically, a light down jacket is a jacket with a thinner padding than the ones most winter jackets are equipped with. You can wear these jackets when it is too hot for your winter jacket, but not yet warm enough to start wearing your summer jacket. They are great transitional jackets for between seasons.

Light down jackets generally make for excellent or , as they are warmer than summer jackets, yet thinner than winter jackets. If you get cold easily, a light down jacket is an excellent choice for nearly every season.
