I like the simple and sportive design, good quality-price-ratio; to withstand -20°C, a sweater will be needed. sportsexperts.ca

Getting ready to travel and knew exactly what I wanted - the packable jacket that layers well and keeps me warm! Flew overnight to Argentina. Planes can get cold and this jacket meets the need head on. Also traveled to 2 different areas in Argentina and one definately needed this layer of warmth while still holding style. This is my second one of these jackets! I wore the other one out over 15 yea backcountry.com
