You never want to get caught in the backcountry without a backup puffy, and the Flylow General's Men's Down Jacket is built to be exactly that. High-loft goose down delivers a lot of warmth in a package that packs down small, so it is always worth bringing along. It is the dependable insulating layer that earns its spot in any pack.Why we like it:The pit zippers are a genuinely thoughtful touch on a down jacket; they let you dump core heat when you are working without taking the whole thing off. It stuffs into its own pocket, so it disappears until you need it.Features and Functions:The General's is filled with high-loft 800 fill-power goose down certified to the Responsible Down Standard, wrapped in a Pertex Quantum shell with a recycled polyester lining. Pit zippers add venting rare for a puffy, and the jacket self-stows into its own pocket for easy carry.Fit and Sizing:A regular fit slips over a baselayer or fleece and tucks under a shell. True to size, with a trim cut that avoids bulk under outer layers.Bottom Line:As a packable backcountry insulator or a cold-day midlayer, the General's is best at high-warmth, low-weight insulation you can take anywhere. The puffy you bring on every winter mission.
